Burnell Taylor was eliminated on 'American Idol' tonight (April 4), after coming in the bottom of the voting, courtesy of America. Rock n' roll didn't work for him, as he sang Bon Jovi's 'You Give Love a Bad Name' last night (April 3) and it was his downfall.

In perhaps an effort to refresh the show, 'American Idol' has not only installed a new panel of judges, but producers have tinkered with the formula and added a 'Sudden Death' round where the contestants perform for a limited number of slots.

Picking up where the ladies ladies left off on Wednesday, 10 more guys were up to face-off in the sudden death round.

Going with an "old-fashioned" song like 'My Funny Valentine,' you'd think this was a bad song choice for Amber Holcomb considering she's 18 (the track originally came out in 1937 and was sung by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart).

Shubha Vedula is a prime example of "less is more."

Last night's episode of 'American Idol' was the start of the semi-finals with the top 40 singers of the competition.

Damn Trevor, what happened? Were you too focused on the name of your group, Country Queen, and your group mates' demeanors to remember the words?

Nicki Minaj saved this man's life. If it weren't for her pleading to Randy Jackson, he would be going home, and not to Hollywood. Guess it was the corkiness looking out for Papa Peachez.

From the moment he opened his mouth, you knew that Adam Sanders could sing. Despite initial nervousness from meeting his idol Mariah Carey, this young man showed why he was a voice to be threatened by in this competition.

They say two heads are better one, but that's certainly not the case with the voices of the Bacerott Brothers. David, 24, and Derek, 21,of San Antonio attempted a cover of Mario's 'Let Me Love You,' and the best you can say here is that they tried.

Nine former 'American Idol' contestants are suing the singing competition, claiming that they were forced off the show in a racist attempt to boost ratings.

Isabel Gonzalez just about charmed the pants off of the ‘American Idol’ judges during Wednesday night's audition episode (Jan. 23). At only 16, she has a rich and powerful voice is undeniably easy on the ears. Where on earth did this talented singer come from?
