Charlie Askew, a 17-year-old hopeful from Little Rock, Ark., auditioned for Season 12 of 'American Idol' in Baton Rouge, La.,which aired tonight (Jan. 24). He was clearly an awkward teen with a shy charm. His parents even said he suffers from 'Charlie Askew Syndrome,' since he doesn't fit a traditional diagnosis and has some trouble connecting, but he bridges that communicative gap through music.

Blown. Away. That was the judge's panel and the viewing audience when Burnell Taylor, a Louisiana native, closed tonight's (Jan. 24) Baton Rouge audition episode of 'American Idol' with a rousing and soulful rendition of 'I'm Here' from 'The Color Purple.'

Miss Greater Baton Rouge Megan Miller was a walking wounded contestant. She had an accident, injured her leg, and it got infected, requiring surgery. But that wasn't going to stop this beauty with a belter's voice from making her 'American Idol' audition in Baton Rouge, La., which aired tonight (Jan. 24).

The rumors of friction on the set of 'American Idol' were definitely true, as we saw last night. Nicki Minaj stormed off the set during the Charlotte auditions when the other three judges disregard her helpful advice for an auditioning contestant. Check out the video to see what set her off.

American Idol begins tonight and I cannot wait much longer! I'll have a tv set in the studio so that I can watch it in the break room while I'm work! (Don't act like you don't do that sometimes, too!) First of all, I want to know if AI will show the fight between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, specifically the one where the B-Word was flying around the room...

American Idol returns tonight on Fox. I had almost written off the show but with the recent win of Phillip Phillips, I'm interested in the show again.

Twinky will be broadcasting live TODAY from 4PM-6PM at Valley Ford, 910 S 1st St, here in Yakima! If you want to become a guest judge on American Idol, you have to go see him tonight! He will have a special 2013 Ford Fusion for you to test drive while you're there...

Valley Ford presents the American Idol - Go Further With Ford night this Thursday November 15th from 4pm - 7pm benefiting the YWCA.

The Morning Maddhouse reported this morning that Nicki Minaj started a verbal fight with Mariah Carey on the set of American Idol.

Yes, America! American Idol does have a weird, diverse lineup judging all of the contestants in season 12! Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey are being joined by... ... ...Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj??? Well, judging is a huge part, but good thing America's vote matters because I am not sure that Nicki has any business telling ANYBODY what to sound like...

Every time the judging panel for Season 12 of ‘American Idol‘ starts to come into focus, a new rumor comes along to shake things up. The latest piece of gossip? Hip-hop king Kanye West is in talks to join Mariah Carey on the show, according to sources at TMZ.

Nicki Minaj has just been announced as a new American Idol judge. She will be working alongside Mariah Carey. Take the KFFM poll and see if she has what it takes to judge the contestants this fall on the show.
