Jennifer Lopez brought the Latin heat on tonight’s (May 10) elimination/results episode of American Idol, performing her Pitbull-assisted hit ‘Dance Again.’ Love to make love you, baby!

‘American Idol‘ Season 7 winner David Cook performed his brand new single, the heartfelt, mid-tempo rocker ‘The Last Song I’ll Write for You’ on tonight’s (May 10) elimination/results episode.

The ‘American Idol‘ finale is shaping up to be a star-studded affair. Not only will the episode crown the next big pop idol, but it also features performances from Rihanna and now Aerosmith!

On tonight’s (May 9) episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 4 performed songs by Californians and songs they wish they’d written. With a pair of boys and a pair of girls remaining, things are intense and in PopCrush’s opinion, the boys have the edge. We can’t decide which of the two will win because they are both so good.

Skylar Laine was eliminated on tonight’s (May 3) episode of ‘American Idol,’ leaving only four contestants gunning for the Season 11 crown.

Hometown fans of American Idol frontrunner, Joshua Ledet, gather every week at Westlake, Louisiana's Managan Center to watch their hometown hero perform on the Wednesday night show. In this video, so many people wanted to send their good wishes to 'Bip,' as he's known back home, they ran out of time.

I think last night's American Idol may have been it's best episode ever. Hollie and Joshua were three for three on their solo songs and their group numbers. Jessica had a 'moment' with 'You Are So Beautiful', Phillip may have stumbled a little, and Skylar rocked her 2 country versions. Here's the video in case you missed anything last night...

Get ready to welcome our Louisiana Idol, Joshua Ledet, when he joins Colton Dixon, DeAndre Brackensick, Elise Testone, Erika Van Pelt, Heejun Han, Hollie Cavanagh, Jessica Sanchez,  Phillip Phillips and Skylar Laine on the American Idol LIVE 2012 tour...

With American Idol's recent tribute to Queen, I thought that this family's video of their ride to school was timely:   (Via YouTube)

On tonight’s episode (April 18) of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 7 (since Jessica Sanchez earned the sole season save) performed a modern hit and a throwback classic from the soul era. Each singer performed twice, showing off different sides of their sonic personalities as the season starts to wind down and we inch closer and closer to a winner...

Joshua Ledet kicked off his ‘American Idol’ double header with the winning song by his personal idol and ‘Idol’ alum, Fantasia. He made believers out of all of us with an inspiring performance of ‘I Believe.’ And he couldn’t have matched it any better with is second round performance.

On tonight’s (April 11) episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 7 brought songs from 2010 until today. While we did a double take at first because 2010 seems like, well, yesterday, it turns out quite a few great songs have been released in the past two years. Wit...

On tonight’s episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 8 tackled the ’80s. While the ’80s is a fun decade, full of excess and larger-than-life-ness, the Idols focused on the ballad side of the spectrum. Again, it was a little snoozy, with slow song after slow song. The producers wisely paired the contestants up for duets that were sprinkled throughout the individual perfs, to add some life and livelihoo

A couple of weeks ago, Louisiana's American Idol contestant, Joshua Ledet, said he missed the food from back home. So the Louisiana Seafood and Promotion and Marketing Board sent him crawfish. This week, it's Zwolle Tamales! The Washington Post even featured a story about it! Check out these videos of the great support he's getting from his family, his hometown of Westlake and from as far away as

Whew! One more farewell means one more chance for Louisiana's Joshua Ledet to win American Idol! Sorry, but "Bye, bye Heejun Han." We enjoyed watching you. See you on the next American Idol  Tour!

Westlake, Louisiana's Joshua Ledet soared last night on American Idol with his beautiful rendition of 'I Can't Live.' He referenced Mariah Carey's version, but if you're a little older, you may remember the original written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger, the huge hit by Harry Nilsson, or even Heart's take with Ann Wilson's phenomenal vocals.

When Joshua Ledet revealed that he would (bravely attempt to) sing Mariah Carey‘s version of ‘Without You’ on tonight’s (March 28) episode of ‘American Idol,’ season advisor Jimmy Iovine immediately stated that it’s one of the five hardest songs to sing in popular music. Yikes. Whatever the case, it was Ledet’s selection since the Idols were allowed to perform songs by their personal idols. So, di

Clay Aiken appeared on Tuesday night’s episode of ‘Watch What Happens Live’ on which he had some choice words about Rihanna.
