Haley is out. Scotty and Lauren are in. The only thing left to do is crown Scotty let the two compete next Tuesday and then viewers will get to vote for which country-themed teenager they want to be the next American Idol. Shortly after last night’s elimination show a small event was held to determine [...]

After more than 95 million votes, America chose country teenagers Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina as its 2011 “American Idol” Top 2. While I think it’s going to be a somewhat boring competition show next Tuesday, I don’t think it’s a bad Top 2. I was rooting for Haley Reinhart to make it to the [...]

It’s that time again. Ryan Seacrest will soon be handed the envelope, the lights will dim, and someone will be sent home. Are you ready for your American Idol 2011 Top 2 and the big finale performance next Tuesday? See what other Idol fans are saying right now on our Idol Facebook page and then [...]

Tonight’s results show will determine who will be performing for your American Idol 2011 finale and who will fall just short of his or her big chance. I would say that after last night’s performances that it’d be a no-brainer on who will make the cut, but I think the obvious results expectations should be [...]

I’m not sure what I enjoyed most about tonight’s “American Idol” Top 3 performance show, Randy Jackson’s 100 name drops or Lauren Alaina’s quest to prove she’s really a seven-year-old girl. Oh how I miss the days when 25 and 28-year-olds ruled the show. Wait, or maybe my favorite part was the fact that Jimmy [...]

Are you ready for two hours of American Idol 2011 tonight? Well settle in for what should be some great performances from Scotty, Haley, and Lauren padded with so much filler that I can’t even guess how they’ll do it. See what other Idol fans are saying right now on our Idol Facebook page and [...]

Tonight’s Top 3 performances on American Idol 2011 stands likely to be a pretty great show. After endless weeks of forcing square pegs through round holes the remaining singers will be taking on hand picked songs from the judges, Jimmy Iovine, and their own tastes. It’s hard to imagine this not being better than what [...]

As we reported earlier, the songs chosen by the “American Idol” judges for the Top 3 have been leaked and I have to say, the judges’ song choices are almost as bad as the contestants’ song choices most of this season. For Lauren Alaina, they chose “I Hope You Dance” by Leann Womack. I imagine [...]

My, oh my how the American Idol landscape has changed. I believe few truly imagined we’d be moving ahead with two ladies in the final 3 after the way they were eliminated in rapid fire succession. The season’s recent seeming front runner has now been eliminated and that honor has now fallen back to Scotty, [...]

The hometown tours for the American Idol Top 3 were a big hit as Scotty, Lauren, and Haley each headed back home for a hero’s welcome and treated their fans to a few great performances. We’ll see lots more of this on Wednesday’s performance show, but here’s some local coverage for each of the singers. [...]
