Phillip Phillips is the hottest thing in pop music right now, having won the ‘American Idol‘ Season 11 crown on Wednesday night (May 23). The first thing he did when he broke down and stopped singing his coronation song ‘Home?’ He walked into the crowd to hug his family. Turns out the Phillips family is making a bigger change to their dynamic by selling the family business, which is a pawn shop. R

Short of putting their kid in a washing machine, we may have found the cruelest parent on viral video in quite a while. An adorable little girl got her poor heart shattered when Jessica Sanchez lost out on ‘American Idol‘ to crooner Phillip Phillips — and her mom had a camera on hand … and a subsequent field day.

As you all saw Tuesday night, Jason Derulo performed his new song, "Undefeated," with an amazing dance routine and stellar voice! This is his first performance after being injured while rehearsing. So congrats to him on an amazing comeback performance...

On tonight’s (May 17) results episode of ‘American Idol,’ which determined the Top 2 for Season 11, Joshua Ledet was eliminated and sent home. It’s the end of the road for Ledet on ‘Idol,’ but don’t fret for him. He will likely be scooped up to an Interscope record deal courtesy of show mentor Jimmy Iovine as soon as he gets backstage and has a second to breathe.

Hollie Cavanagh was eliminated on ‘American Idol’ tonight (May 10.) She was in the bottom two with Phillip Phillips, but he prevailed, effectively ending Cavanagh’s run on the show.

On tonight’s (May 9) episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 4 performed songs by Californians and songs they wish they’d written.

On tonight’s (May 2) performance episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 5 were asked to perform a song from the ’60s and a song by a Britpop act. Each week is critical as the playing field shrinks and we’re three weeks away from choosing the Season 11 winner.

Only five contestants remain in the running on Season 11 of ‘American Idol,’ but later this summer the entire Top 10 will be back for the show’s Idols Live! Tour, which features 45 arena shows across America over a two-month span.

Elise Testone was finally eliminated from Season 11 of ‘American Idol‘ tonight (April 26). We say “finally” not because we did not enjoy her smoky, husky voice or her offbeat, edgy and rock ‘n’ roll song choices throughout the course of the season, but because the singer has been camped out in the bottom of the voting multiple times. The odds seemed to indicate that she would eventually be voted o

The majestic music of the legendary rock band Queen was the focus of the first half of tonight’s (April 25) episode of ‘American Idol.’ The Top 6 had a big task ahead of them, since late vocalist Freddie Mercury was one of the biggest, most revered and inimitable voices in rock music. He was a game ch ...

On tonight’s (April 11) episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 7 brought songs from 2010 until today. While we did a double take at first because 2010 seems like, well, yesterday, it turns out quite a few great songs have been released in the past two years. With Akon coming ... Read More ...
