Eulogies for the Four Eliminated American Idol Contestants
Aw, hell no. Four times over. Last night's Idol showed that the voting public hates texting in for middle-of-the-pack contenders. That's the only explanation for these four eliminations, besides game theory. With tears in our eyes, Movieline has written memorials...

Comments 0 Not only did we get to see who had made it through to the Top 12 and who had unfortunately been sent home in last night's "American Idol," but we also got to see two of the contestants from last season come back to perform Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It."

'AMERICAN IDOL' EXCLUSIVE! The Contestants Dish About Their Roomies!
Can you guess which of your favorite Idols live together? Being the curious and obsessed fan I am, I couldn’t help but grill the American Idol contestants about their current living situations at Fox’s American Idol Top 12 party March 11 in West Hollywood, and for the first time ever, they ACTUALLY dished about who they are living with ON CAMERA. You won’t believe what they told me… Watch the video to see which two hotties are bunking up (put me in that room…), which ladies are...

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO! 'American Idol' Andrew Garcia Tells Simon: 'Get Over 'Straight Up!"
Would YOU have the guts to tell Simon Cowell what to do? Talk about fearless! Ever since his genius rendition of Paula Abdul’s ‘Straight Up’ during Hollywood Week, American Idol top 12 contestant Andrew Garcia has failed to live up to the judges’ expectations…particularly the toughest critic of all, Simon Cowell. But now, Andrew is taking a stance and has a message for Mr. Cowell - move on. “Simon, get over ‘Straight Up,’” the 24-year-old Moreno Valley, ...

Here's to more speed-dating versions of 'American Idol'
It's freak-out time on the "American Idol" stage, and not just for the contestants who can now smell the top 12. Idol has to cram all eight singers into one hour. It's actually refreshing to not have to endure each singer blab about "things America might not know about us" or "my favorite dwarf from 'Snow White'" or some other such nonsense. All we got were quick performances. If only the judges not named Simon Cowell would stop talking (especially Kara DioGuardi ), then the show would...

'American Idol', I Am Furious With You. You Kicked Off The Wrong People Last Night!
Courtesy of Fox Do you think the correct four contestants were given the boot last night? American Idol, I usually love you. I dedicate three days of my week to you, in fact. So how could you play me like this, by kicking off two of my favorite contestants, Lilly Scott and Alex Lambert? Despite her eccentric style and platinum-hued hair, Lilly Scott was always a quirky crowd favorite " and easily one of the best three female performers on Idol this season. My pals are furious " and from the dissatisfied ...

Jon Stewart nails Randy, Kara and Simon
Add Jon Stewart to the long list of people poking fun at the "American Idol" judges this week. On Thursday night's "Daily Show," Stewart showed a brief clip of Katharine McPhee performing at The White House on Monday during an International Women's Day event. Then he launched into an alarmingly spot-on 30-second impression of three of the four "Idol" judges. Only Ellen DeGeneres escaped unscathed. It must be said, if Randy Jackson ever decides to go the...

'American Idol' Cements Top 12, Says See Ya to Another Four
"American Idol" revealed this season's top 12 after voters gave the ol' heave-ho to another four hopefuls on Thursday night. Did one of your favorites get eliminated?

American Idol Finalists: Party Time!
While fans argue about the final 12 on American Idol ( Paige Miles over Katelyn Epperly and Lilly Scott? Really?!? ), this season's recently-named finalists attended a party in their honor last night. Matt Giraud, Scott MacIntyre and past contestants were also on hand, as were Cory Monteith and members of the Glee cast . But the event was all about Crystal Bowersox , Michael Lynche and company. That pair of singers, two of the only contenders in an otherwise mediocre field, celebrated with...

Watch last season’s American Idol finalists Scott MacIntyre and Matt Giraud sing “Tell Her About It” in this American Idol March 11 results show video clip. What did you think of the Scott MacIntyre/Matt Giraud Billy Joel duet? I wasn’t feeling it. At all.

Scott MacIntyre, Matt Giraud rock it on 'American Idol' Top 12 results show; but did fans get it wrong?
I'll admit it, in all nine seasons I have never voted for an "American Idol" contestant. I almost did last season for Michigan's own Matt Giraud , who, by the way, rocked it with Scott MacIntyre on Thursday night's "American Idol" Top 12 results show. But I have never voted because it seemed so unprofessional. Maybe I'm wrong. Last night, Alex Lambert, Todrick Hall, Kaetlyn Epperly and Lilly Scott all missed the cut, and now the Top 12 includes some pretty questionable contestants. Exhibit...

So the not-so-dazzling dozen is now assembled and Ryan wasn't lying, there were a few surprises in the eliminations . Also surprising, a return from season eight contestants Scott MacIntyre and Matt Giraud doing Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It" for no discernible reason . These guys would've torn it up at Jake Ivory's. Ryan also informs us of this season's first theme: The Rolling Stones Thoughts on the results after the jump.

On `Idol,' Bowersox shines, 3 sink in judges' eyes
Los Angeles — If the "American Idol" judges hold sway over viewers, contestants Katie Stevens, Paige Miles and Katelyn Epperly should be nervous about making it into the top 12. The three received uniformly negative comments from the judging panel after performing Tuesday night, while the other five female singers all hit high notes. Stevens' version of "Breakaway" sounded close to karaoke, Randy Jackson said, while fellow judge Kara DioGuardi suggested that the 17-year-old from...
