'American Idol Season 9': 'Idol' airs special clips on extra audition day!
Call it a 'faux "pax' of sorts if you will! As per the latest reports, it would appear that the producers of the widely viewed television caper 'American Idol', had mistakenly reserved an extra eighth day for the 'Idol' audition, when they were only supposed to cover seven cities, over the course of the show's 'audition' leg. It is learned that broadcasters Fox had reportedly committed to an eight day audition round for the 'American Idol', while the show team...

American Idol Season 9 Episode 7
Kimberly Kerbow is there with her 5 year old daughter. She sings The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson. Simon worries she is trouble, but she is through to the next round. Danelle Hayes hosts karaoke and sings in a cover band. She’s crying almost immediately after walking in the room but pulls it together and sings I’m the Only One by Melissa Etheridge. Kara says this was the most moving audition, which people will look for. Casey James was in a motorcycle accident at age 21. Despite the...

As our long national nightmare, the American Idol audition season, winds down, let us pause and reflect on the most notable achievements of the year thus far. As Ryan said, "It has been a long journey for all of us." And while I'd like to say that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I'm not even sure we've entered the tunnel yet. So without further delay and in the spirit of this week's Academy Award nominations, we present our own honors. The Neutrogena Award For Outstanding...

American Idol Wraps Audition Tour
American Idol ’s final audition night, a compilation of performance highs and lows along the seven-city tour, started on a contradictory note: Ryan Seacrest kept assuring viewers that the best had been saved for last. On the other hand, he admitted that General Larry Platt 's "Pants on the Ground" had turned out to be the biggest buzz-generator. It was actually a very strange hour — you can argue that the ol' general should have gone to Hollywood, too, with the 181 other...

American Idol Season Nine Auditions Wrap Up
February 4, 2010 Boston (DbTechNo) - The American Idol auditions wrapped up last night and now it is off to Hollywood. In total the crew of Idol visited 7 US cities looking for talent, and found a bit of it plus a lot of bad singing along the way.

'Footprints in The Sand': The Story Behind The 'American Idol' Audition
Auditioner Jessica Furney impressed Simon Cowell with a song he co-wrote for Leona Lewis. By Gil Kaufman Jessica Furney Photo: FOX By now, it should be obvious what kinds of things capture “American Idol” lead judge Simon Cowell’s attention: very attractive, slightly dippy young women, scrawny teenage boys with slightly raspy voices and emotional back stories, and oh, yeah, people who sing songs he wrote. The latter category took center stage on Wednesday night’s final...

IDOL 411: 'Big Mike' spared by 'American Idol'?
Big Mike, the personal trainer whom Kara described as a "singing teddy bear" in Wednesday night's final auditions episode, was reportedly booted after his father revealed to his local Florida paper that Michael had made the top 24. But the fact that FOX decided to include Big Mike in Wednesday's episode strongly suggests that Lynche, who had his first baby on the way at the time of his try-out, will perform before Ellen DeGeneres in Hollywood next week. Good call, "Idol." As Ruben Studdard can...

'American Idol' Audition Favorites: From 'Pants On The Ground' To 'The Climb'
Thousands of hopefuls. Hundreds of songs. Seven cities. Four excruciating weeks. A dude in a two-piece Bikini. One pair of pants on the ground. On Wednesday, "American Idol" wrapped up the auditions for its ninth season, and judging by the numbers - or, really, any other quantifier - it was a pretty interesting ride. From the news that Simon Cowell would be leaving the show at season's end, to the spate of celebrity judges lined up by show producers (Neil Patrick Harris, we love you),...

American Idol: Hollywood Ho [Recaps]
Well gang, we did it. We got through a month of auditions episodes. Many of us died, even more of us are injured or dying, but we've struggled across the finish line and next week will taste glorious Hollywood. Last night's episode wasn't about anything, so there's not much to say. Basically it was the haggis of auditions episodes. It was the tripe or hot dog of American Idol . It was just leftover bits sort of all mashed together into something that was vaguely good if you didn't think too...

American Idol: was that necessary?
Last night’s episode of “American Idol” was kind of a waste of our time. They do the early auditions in seven cities and then throw in an eighth episode for fluff before Hollywood week begins. Anyway, what they did last night was show some more of the really good and really bad auditions that they did not show over the course of this past month. And while it really was not necessary, they aired it, so we’re gonna write about it. They began by recapping Larry...
