Tonight's American Idol results show—aside from the actual eliminations—was all about food, apparently! First, Fantasia performed "Collard Greens and Cornbread." Then, Jamie Foxx and will.i.am struggled through a rendition of "Hot Wings," from their upcoming film, Rio.
We here at Gawker.TV have been pretty rough on the most recent batch of American Idol hopefuls. Whether or not Casey Abrams and Paul McDonald are deserving targets of our misdirected anger (my mother wouldn't let me audition for the show after my father was tragically suffocated to death by one of Simon Cowell's t-shirts) is debatable, but you can't say that these crazy singin' kids don't make it easy for us.
During last night's Late Night, Jimmy Fallon donned a wig and a fake beard and added another impression to his collection—that of Idol's Casey Abrams. In the sketch, Fallon plays a desperate Abrams trying to cash in on his 15 minutes.
Well! That was nice. Last night's Elton John-themed extravaganza had most of our singtestants in top form, blaring out smooth '70s and '80s roller disco music of the sort that one might actually want to listen to in their own private time.
It's that time again! Tonight—from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, live on FOX—this season's American Idol Top 11 (again) will perform for the judges' critiques and our votes. Want in on the action? Your open thread is inside.
Last night's American Idol will go down in Idol history as one of its weirdest hours, an episode in which both Ryan Seacrest was thrown into the crowd and a man nearly died, or maybe actually did die. Behold, amazement!
Did you see Casey Abrams slay Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" on American Idol last night? Wasn't he rad? No? What are you trying to say? That Casey Abrams isn't that great of a singer? Wait, that's exactly what you're trying to say?
Last night's episode of Americans for Change: The Ryan Seacrest Story sent us back in time and over to Detroit. Yes, it was that most dreaded of theme weeks, "Motown Week," when all the contestants, some of whose parents weren't even born during the Motown boom, bop around the stage singing some of karaoke's finest.
On tonight's American Idol, Jacob Lusk performed Marvin Gaye's "You're All I Need To Get By." Afterward, Steven Tyler rushed the stage to hug him. Then, Randy Jackson declared it the best performance in the "history of this show."
Well, it's that time again! Tonight—from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, live on FOX—this season's American Idol Top 12 will perform for the judges' critiques and our votes. Want in on the action? Your open thread is inside.
Another American Idol results show, another Idol hopeful down. Adios, Karen Rodriguez! Of course, the announcement of Karen's fate took a total of 15 seconds, so what did they do with the other 42 minutes of the broadcast?
The folks at Jimmy Kimmel Live pointed out this little gem from last night's American Idol: Steven Tyler's "Creepy Leer of the Night." I suppose it's better than Steven Tyler's "Creepy Come-on of the Night" though, right?
Another one bit all the dust last night, as our group of tributes was whittled down from thirteen to twelve, another quick, relatively bloodless death in these early stages of the final round.
Oof. American Idol was bad last night, you guys, and not in its unusual fun-bad way. No, it was boring-bad, which, everyone knows is the worst kind of bad to encounter on TV. The broadcast was, in fact, so consistently dull and terrible that it was impossible to find one clip that was really worth discussing. So, instead, let's talk about how this season's contestants are made up primarily of babies.
Last night's episode of America's great glitter infomercial was that perennial "sing a song from the day you were born" theme, which always makes us feel the creep and dread of mortal angst. Though, to be fair, every episode of this show usually does that.
Well, it's that time again! Tonight—from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, live on FOX—this season's American Idol Top 12 will perform for the judges' critiques and our votes. Want in on the action? Your open thread is inside.
The art house's favorite princess is establishing herself on premium cable, just like a regular actress. Also today: some women you may like have landed pilot roles, Mark Wahlberg might take a second round in the boxing ring, and an American Idol theory.
Last night's American Idol was a result show, which, though rife with human suffering, is sort-of boring to recap (Ashthon went home. Bye, Ashthon!). Instead, let's compose an open letter to former contestant and last night's guest, Adam Lambert!
