The majestic music of the legendary rock band Queen was the focus of the first half of tonight’s (April 25) episode of ‘American Idol.’ The Top 6 had a big task ahead of them, since late vocalist Freddie Mercury was one of the biggest, most revered and inimitable voices in rock music...

From the top 12 to eleven without a vote. That is the way it looks like it is going to play out on this seasons American Idol.  TMZ reports that ‘American Idol‘ will remove a finalist tonight week for not being honest about their criminal record. It was not reported if it was a male or female contestant, but not identifying a criminal past to the network is considered an big no-no.

‘American Idol‘ favorite Phillip Phillips didn't feint this week like some of the other contestatents, but he did have a health scare. It wasn't stress from the show that caused him the problems, instead he was hospitalized for kidney stones, a pre-existing condition that he had.

The 42-contestant herd on ‘American Idol‘ is being thinned out to 24: 12 girls, 12 guys. The final 24 will perform for the first time at the live shows next week. Can you believe we are already at the live shows, ‘Idol’ watchers?

The ‘American Idol‘ audition round has moved to the Pacific Northwest to the lovely (if cloudy) city of Portland. The first contestant was evidence that you can’t judge a singer by her clothes!

Britnee Kellogg knows a thing or two about heartbreak. On tonight’s ‘American Idol,’ the blond bombshell and mother of two told the story of her lyin’, cheatin’, good for nothin’ ex-husband who held her back so he could pursue his own basketball career. (And in Kellogg’s words, “pursue other women,” too).

The three ‘American Idol‘ judges had little to say about contestant Naomi Gillies on Wednesday night. The Lancaster, Penn. native was that impressive, singing a song Steven Tyler made famous with Aerosmith.

Jessica Phillips of Brooklyn, N.Y. has been through a lot in her short life. Her boyfriend, Angelo, of five years suffered a massive stroke and had to be hospitalized for a month and a half. When he finally came to, Phillips said he didn’t know who she was.

There are ‘American Idol‘ backstories and then there are backstories! We doubt that any of the contestants that have stood on the audition stage through the show’s entire history could lay claim to going through what hopeful Romeo Diahn has been through.
