All tag results for 'american idol'

It was the combination of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson (and the talent) that initially got the world hooked on American Idol, so maybe the only thing that can save it would be getting the original trio back together!!!

And perhaps, just perhaps, Simon is starting to think that too???

Over the weekend, Simon tweeted one of the nicest things we’ve ever heard from him, saying:

Ay, papi chulo — Mr. 305 is muy caliente!

Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez blew us all away everyone but Mariah Carey away on the American Idol stage last night & now they've done it again!!!

Just the idea of these lovely latinos making music together is AH-Mazing enough already, but we had no idea it would turn out so damned seXXXy!!

Ch-ch-check out Live It Up for yourself (above)!

From her toned bikini body to rolling around On the Floor in sex-ay French lingerie, J.Lo looks so marvelous!!!

And, bouncing back and forth between haute couture runways in Paris & the sunny beaches of Miami, we finally understand why they call him Mr. Worldwide, LOLz!!

More importantly, the song is great!!!

We need to SHAKE our rump to this dance-tastic track right now!!!

We guess that NO ONE can escape the wrath of lip-synching accusations on the internet!

Beyoncé faced it after her rendition of the National Anthem at the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, and now, Mariah Carey has come under fire for her performance medley of her biggest hits on American Idol's 12th season finale last night!

And it was NOT pretty!

After Twitter essentially EXPLODED with criticism over what some viewers perceived to be bad lip-synching, as her voice did not always appear to match the audio during the live feed, the diva's representative quickly issued a statement that DENIES any wrongdoing on her client's part!

In fact, while Mimi DID sing along to a pre-recorded track, as many artists regularly do, her rep is adamant that she "performed with a 40-person choir" and "SANG LIVE."

We’d have thought that American Idol’s season finale win and Jennifer Lopez's performance would have aided in its ratings woes.

Clearly, we thought wrong. Last night’s results garnered the lowest ratings the show has seen in the history of its finales. In fact, it was down a whopping 47% in preliminary ratings from last year’s finale.

YIKES! Almost half!!

This is definitely not a good sign from Idol, only highlighting its dire need for change. With all of its judges' problems and rumors of the show’s format being revamped, it seems anything will do to bring in the numbers!

Idol must be saved!

When the boy toy is away, Jennifer Lopez comes out to play!

While Casper Smart was busy choreographing her sweet American Idol moves back in LA, J.Lo nested in the SAME hotel as ex-hubby Marc Anthony.

Coincidence??

Perhaps!

However, it is indeed peculiar.

Afterall, we're sure Jenny knows that Marc's fave hotel is The Mark!

Hmmmm did Mariah Carey have something to do with this!?!?

Turns out, Nicki Minaj is just a little too seXXXy for American Idol’s liking!!!

All of the other judges delivered AH-mazing performances on the Season 12 finale last night, so it was SUPER noticeable when Nicki was the only one to NOT take the stage.

Nicki explains why she didn’t perform AND why her High School music video didn’t premiere on the show:

What an AH-mazing performance!!!

Janelle Arthur, one of the final five contestants on American Idol, rocked out with The Band Perry for the Season 12 finale. They sang Done, which sounds pretty appropriate for the last show of the season, LOLz!!

Especially since every single judge on the panel is Done for good, ha!!!

Anyway, the two ladies were kicking and head-banging throughout the performance and still managed to NAIL their vocals!!

Ch-ch-check it out! (above)
