American Idol

A highlight of tonight’s audition episode of ‘American Idol’ in Charlotte, N.C. was 22-year-old Candice Glover, who sang a powerful – yet appropriately sweet – version of Duffy’s ‘Syrup and Honey.’

On tonight’s audition episode of ‘American Idol’ (Jan. 23) at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, 16-year-old Isabel Gonzalez delivered a stunning rendition of Sam Cooke’s ‘Nothing Can Change This Love.’ Her talent and youthful charm won over judges Randy Jackson, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Mariah Carey, who happily sent her on to Hollywood.

In the second night of 'American Idol' audition episodes, the panel took their talents -- and their talent -- to the Windy City.

Welcome to the thousandth season of 'American Idol' everyone! Okay we kid, it's only the 12th season, but let's do some math: we're 25, show's been on 12 years = it started when we were just mere 13-year-olds arguing with our friends over who the hottest member of the Backstreet Boys was.

When we first heard about a supposed feud between 'American Idol' judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, we couldn't help but smile. Why? Because we knew it was going to make for great television, that's why!

Well this Jersey girl just warmed our hearts on Season 12 of 'American Idol.' Sarah Restuccio, the 17-year-old from Hammontown, N.J. is country strong, and was quick to note that her town in the Garden State was different than "those up north," and probably those south of her a la 'Jersey Shore...

Is it really Season 12 of 'American Idol?' Wow! Tonight, Ryan Seacrest & Randy Jackson return but we get to see how Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban will make out as new judges. Are you looking forward to the re-vamped 'Idol' or do you think it's run it's course?

Nicki Minaj stopped by 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' on Monday (Jan. 14), where she dished on her feud with 'American Idol' co-judge Mariah Carey.

The 'American Idol' judges and host Ryan Seacrest cover the new issue of TV Guide in advance of the Season 12 premiere next week.

High up on the list of things that shouldn't concern Nicki Minaj: becoming “too famous.” Yet the singer is incredibly worried that her new role as judge on 'American Idol' could do just that, even though it opens her up to whole a new audience of exactly no one since 'Idol' watchers already know who she is.

Though 'American Idol' may have suffered in the ratings for the past few seasons, the fresh judging panel of Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban may be just what the show needs. In new promo clips, we get a glimpse of the 'Pound the Alarm' MC in action, and she's an absolute thrill to behold.

Nicki Minaj's diva antics continued on full, unapologetic display in the second episode of her three-part 'My Truth' mini-series on E! But while the first episode didn't exactly paint the 'Starships' singer in the most flattering light, the second ep shows her better side. In addition to filming videos and recording with Lil Wayne, she also gives her side of the story and her take on her now infam

We all would like to relax a little more than we do. Heck, maybe even a nice little massage (Okay, not me, because I have this personal space thing I deal with.) Well, super diva Mariah Carey must be really stressed, because she recently received an eight-hour rub-down while she got shut-eye at her L.A. mansion.

Phillip Phillips, the winner of Season 11 of 'American idol' will perform the 'National Anthem' before tonight's Game 1 of the World Series. Let's see, Idol is on FOX and so is the Fall Classic. How long before we see shots of Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj in the stands?

Nigel Lythgoe, producer of 'American Idol' (and just about every other FOX reality show), insists that smackdown between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj was very real and wasn't conjured up by the publicity-hungry suits at the network. Not because they'd never do such a thing, but because the timing is way off.

Stevie Nicks recently defended fellow songstress Mariah Carey by lashing out on Nicki Minaj, but now the iconic singer has apologized for her harsh words towards the 'American Idol' judge.
