After the first single-elimination week on American Idol, the bottom three was dominated by ladies. Karen and Haley were spared after some time in the hot seats, but Ashthon had to sing for her life (and erupted in tears). Though the judges gave Ashthon a second chance last week, she wasn't so lucky this time around. I had a feeling that Ashthon was in trouble, and the majority of you had the 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

Though American Idol was all about giving back this week (with many a celebrity in sight), one more contestant was taken out of the competition. After doing his best to inspire us on Tuesday night, Tim Urban got the short end of the stick this week. I actually think Tim should be proud of himself — he lasted much longer than anyone expected. On the other hand, I'm not sure I agree with Read more

American Idol brought the drama last night when not one but two contestants got the boot. Despite giving their best Elvis impersonations on Tuesday night, Katie Stevens and Andrew Garcia just didn't make the cut. Andrew's days were definitely up, but I was kinda surprised to see Katie go after her decent performance. Still, I didn't expect either to make it to the end of the competition, so Read more

After the top 10 performed this week, Didi Benami was sadly sent packing in the American Idol elimination round. I have to say, though I knew Didi's days were numbered, I definitely thought Tim would go before her. What do you think — was the right contestant voted off American Idol? Photo courtesy of Fox Was the Right Contestant Voted Off American Idol? Yes — Didi's time was Read more

Well, another four bit the dust on American Idol this week. We're slowly narrowing down the competition, but once again I wasn't overly surprised by who got the axe. Except for Michelle, the eliminated contestants just didn't deliver this week. How sad was it watching Haeley sing the all-too-apropos "The Climb" to end the show? Now that we're down to 16, which contestant do you think deserved Read more
