Who cares about The Voice, amiright, Idol loyalists? Although NBC’s rival singing competition premiered to stellar ratings and mostly positive reviews (including from us!), we won’t give up on American Idol just yet. Besides, there are six people left in the competition — two country singers, a rock/metal fan, a Gospel soul singer, a jazz enthusiast, and whatever you consider Haley Reinhart to be. Instead of grouping last night crop of performances into categories of Good, Okay and Bad this week, we’ve just ranked our favorites from Blarg to Best. Jump below and see if you agree who benefited the most from Carole King theme week. More »

Oh, Stefano Langone. We didn’t know you, then we fell in love with you during your powerful wild-card rendition of “I Need You Now” which got you saved by the judges… and then we became indifferent after realizing that amazing performance was a fluke. So we’re not surprised to see you voted off American Idol. But we are a little disappointed you weren’t able to give us another shining moment. More from last night’s results show, including performances by David Cook, Katy Perry and Kanye West, after the jump.

‘American Idol’: Haley Reinhart Is A 21st Century Girl

April 21st, 2011 // 7 Comments

On last night’s American Idol, the Top 7 hopefuls sang songs from the 21st century, ie, everything from 2001 on. (No, the year 2000 is not part of the 21st century, so I hope you weren’t holding out for Scotty McCreery to perform Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name”.) With literally an entire decade of songs to choose from, the contestants did not disappoint in picking some of the weirdest, most obscure songs yet. Or should we just feel grateful all seven Idols didn’t bust out yet another version of “Hallelujah”? Recap below.

His departure doesn’t really affect our weekly Idol Power List, though, since he was dead last on it last week. Head below to see how the remaining seven contestants ranked, post-Paul.

‘American Idol’: Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson & Jason Aldean Perform, Paul McDonald Says Adios

With her current single “S&M” still riding high and the song’s Britney Spears-featuring remix looking to make a big splash on the charts next week (it’s been the top download at iTunes for the past three days), Rihanna stepped onto the American Idol stage during Thursday night’s results show to perform Loud ballad “California King Bed.” Maybe the sight of a kinder, gentler Ri Ri eased the blow of elimination for Paul McDonald, the first guy to be voted off since the Top 12 was formed.

The remaining eight contestants on American Idol showed their cinematic flair last night by taking on songs from movie soundtracks. Like last week, will.i.am was back at Season 10 mentor Jimmy Iovine’s side (making it his fourth appearance on Idol in the past month).

Oh, American Idol–you wicked, wicked beast. We’re literally still reeling and crying into our Corn Flakes over the scandalous, far-too-soon exit of our Season 10 Idol Power List fave Pia Toscano from the show. But she’s hardly the only upset viewers have had to endure since the series hit the air way back in 2002. Of course, the good news for Pia is that, as we’ve learned over the years, you don’t necessarily have to make it to the AI finish line to achieve great success. Head below to vote for who you think has made the most shocking exit from American Idol in the past 10 seasons.
