American Idol

Mariah Carey has officially joined ‘American Idol‘ as a judge for Season 12, which kicks off in 2013. Congrats not only to Carey but to Fox on this major, major coup. While it seemed that producers had a challenge on their hands in trying to find a suitable A-list replacement for the departing Jennifer Lopez, they outdiva-ed the diva with this addition.

Who is with me? I am so glad that Paul has been voted off American Idol. I thought from the beginning of the season that he just did not have what it takes to be be the last man standing.

The final American Idol contestants performed songs from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends tonight on the Idol stage. I thought it was a rough night for the majority of our final nine contestants. See if you agree with my reaction to tonight's American Idol performances.

No big surprise last night on Idol when Naima and Thia got voted off the show. But what about Paul?

Big mistake by the Idol judges last night. They should have NOT used their only "save" on Casey!

X Factor Auditions are coming up soon, This show is gonna be HUGE. Read what Simon Cowell has to say about the show!

I have picked the final two contestants that will compete in this season's American Idol Finale. You have to read ALL my commentary on last night's performance.

I am so glad that Hollywood Week is starting on American Idol.  Usually, I enjoy the auditions, but this season it felt long and tedious to me.  Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez put so many undeserving contestants through at the start of the auditions, that I began to get frustrated...

I am the self-proclaimed biggest American Idol fan in the country. I watch the show every week, I vote for my favorites not just once, but up to 100 times if I really like contestant. I Google the contestants, host and judges just to find out as much information as I can about them. All that being said, I am concerned about what my show will be like without Simon Cowell.
