With only six left in the American Idol competition, the elimination rounds are getting more exciting than ever. The girls managed to stick it out for another week (which is a huge testament to Haley who spent her fair share of time in the bottom three earlier this season). It was no surprise either that James scooted on to the next round, after the judges practically declared him the winner on Read more

With only seven left in the competition, we're starting to get to the good stuff on American Idol. The judges provided more negative feedback than usual this week, which made the bottom contestants a bit easier to predict. I wasn't surprised to see Jacob sent to the stools, since his performance started off a bit shaky, and Stefano has been in trouble for weeks now. In the end, Stefano's dancing Read more

Well, tonight's American Idol results show was a shocker and a half. When the lights were dimmed, Pia Toscano and Jacob Lusk were in the bottom three for the first time, along with Stefano Langone, who had been there before. I admittedly was expecting Stefano to say goodbye, but my jaw dropped when Ryan sent Pia home. Pia was one of the strongest competitors out there, and I thought there was a Read more

It was a double whammy on American Idol tonight as not one, but two contestants were sent packing following Casey Abrams's save on last week's show. Apparently Casey's near exit was a wake-up call to America, as he was safe this time, but Naima Adedapo, Thia Megia, and Paul McDonald were sent to the bottom three. More than 55 million people voted this week — a new record for the show! — and Read more

Wow! This week's American Idol elimination night wasn't shocking because of who went home — it was shocking because no one did. Casey Abrams, Stefano Langone, and Thia Megia found themselves in the bottom three after Motown night, and surprisingly, it was Casey with the lowest amount of votes. But Casey didn't have to sweat for very long: when he was brought out to sing for his life, Randy Read more

It was a night of few surprises on this week's American Idol elimination episode. Once again, the bottom three spots were filled by the ladies, with Naima joining Karen and Haley, who were on the chopping block last week. Haley and Naima were spared, while Karen gave it one last chance with Mariah Carey's "Hero." Personally I think Karen was better than Haley this week, but it was Karen who Read more

America, we're heading to the finals! Casey James was eliminated from American Idol last night, leaving just Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze to duke it out for the crown next week. I've always been a fan of Casey's, but I predicted the top two weeks back, and sadly knew it was only a matter of time for Kara's favorite eye candy. Though I'm looking forward to the final showdown, I have to admit Read more

Michael Lynche may have sealed his fate on Tuesday night when he admitted that he was only focused on getting to the top 3: his American Idol time ran out when he was eliminated from the competition last night. I've got to hand it to the guy — he made it through four more rounds after the judges gave him the save back in April. Still, his elimination seems timely to me; I never really saw Read more

And then there were four. On last night's American Idol, Aaron Kelly was sent packing despite decent comments from the judges on Tuesday night. It just goes to show that the competition is really in America's hands at this point — I totally expected Crystal or Casey to be on the chopping block after giving mediocre performances this week. That said, I never saw Aaron taking it to the finals. Read more

Though Siobhan Magnus gave her best performance in weeks during her Shania Twain performance on Tuesday night, she was eliminated from the competition this week. I have to admit I was a little shocked by the decision, especially since the judges gave her pretty decent feedback. The competition is really heating up now, with only five contestants remaining. So, what's your take — was Read more
