The American Idol 2012 auditions episodes wrapped Thursday night and even though I couldn’t be happier, I do have to say St. Louis showed us some pretty good talent. Opening with a reminder that Carrie Underwood first auditioned in St. Louis in 2004, the night was filled with performers hoping to follow in her footsteps. [...]

American Idol’s trip to Portland ended up being one of the better audition episodes this season with a decent mixture of good, bad and clueless singers. It’s still pretty strange to go 11 seasons prominently featuring the really ridiculous singers then suddenly stop doing that. I always thought I’d prefer audition rounds with all the [...]

American Idol 2012 returns tonight for the final week of auditions. Tonight’s installment takes us to Portland, Oregon. Here’s to hoping tonight’s episode is a little more entertaining than some of the others has been. Ryan Seacrest calls the Portland auditions ”an inspirational evening you won’t want to miss” in the promo (posted after the jump). And [...]

After Wednesday night’s snooze-fest episode, American Idol really needed to deliver in Houston and it did. Thursday night’s audition episode was much better. It had a good mix of the good and the bad that we love to see and hear. And the good were actually good.  There are definitely some Top 24 contenders from [...]

American Idol 2012 heads to Houston tonight, so let’s hope, like everything else in Texas, the talent is bigger. And since Ryan, Randy, Jennifer and Steven will take to Space City, be ready for a lot of “Houston, we have a problem” jokes. Last night’s auditions episode out of Aspen proved to be a bit [...]

Wednesday night’s edition of American Idol 2012 took us to Aspen, Colorado, and what it gave us was nothing to write home about. I can’t remember another audition episode ever with so few really good singers showcased. And this wasn’t even one of those episodes filled with the typical joke/bad auditions. Strange. Judges Randy Jackson, [...]

American Idol 2012 takes us to Aspen tonight for another round of auditions as more hopefuls sing for their shot at a golden ticket to Hollywood. “It may be cold, but the contestants are hot,” says the Fox announcer in the promo for the auditions. The promo (watch it below) also promises to show us [...]

Jane Carrey, daughter of comedic actor Jim Carrey, has created quite the stir since showing up on Sunday’s American Idol  2012 auditions in San Diego. Now, there are people claiming the comedian’s daughter received special treatment. Radar Online is reporting that Jane did not have to go through the same red tape that a typical [...]

Some American Idol fans missed out on Sunday’s special night of San Diego auditions because the NFC Championship Game ran long, so Fox will repeat the episode Tuesday at 8 pm in Glee’s timeslot. Not everyone missed the episode, however, Entertainment Weekly is saying that, according to preliminary ratings, American Idol earned a 7.9 rating [...]

The American Idol 2012 auditions continued from a San Diego aircraft carrier in a rare Sunday night special and it looks like the days of more bad auditions than good are a thing of the past. The people who tune in just for the ridiculous auditions are probably not very happy right now. I, however, [...]
