All tag results for 'season 12'

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)

There’s no question that American Idol will NOT be the same without the one and only Randy Jackson!

After Randy officially announced his 12th American Idol season would be his last, Idol participants were quick to comment. All expressed sadness at this veteran’s exit, and some even asked him to reconsider his decision!

Candice Golver, who auditioned in front of Randy multiple times before finally making it onto the show, said:

This is going to be a messy breakup.

Rumors have been rampant that Mariah Carey was getting the boot, but now we're hearing that American Idol will be kicking its entire judging panel to the reality TV curb.

Say "Hi" to Britney Spears for us! LOLz (just kidding.. love you Brit Brit)

But SERIOUSLY.

Mariah, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, and MAYBE EVEN Randy Jackson will be replaced in an effort to boost AI's sinking ratings.

One of these hopefuls (above) WILL BE our next American Idol!!

But which one?!

During last night's extended AI episode, half of the 10 semi-finalists kissed their Idol dreams goodbye…

But ten were chosen to continue on in the musical competition!

The first finalist to be called was

That's one way to live on the edge!!!

A dragalicious Steven Tyler strutted his stuff straight into American Idol's auditions in Oklahoma City during last night's episode!

While he didn't sing, the cross-dressing rocker stopped by to judge the judges… and also moon millions of viewers.

Ch-ch-check out the hilarious cameo (above)!!!

Is it just us or does the former Idol judge look a bit TOO comfortable in those heels?! What has been doing with his time away from the show?! HA!

Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

We love this clip so much that we can't stop ourselves from watching it over and over and OVER again! LOLz!

Nicki Minaj was up to her usual antics during Idol’s Chicago auditions last week and there’s one part of the episode we just cannot resist!

Check out the HIGHlarious clip (above)!!

We mean… there’s just so much going on here, Perezcious readers!

Between Nicki’s affected British accent with Mariah Carey groaning and throwing in some divalicious hair shade, to Randy Jackson saying “Mmm! Twinkle!”, we just HAD to!

And then there’s Keith Urban, just sitting there during Johnny Keyser’s audition, immune to all that goes on in his new dysfunctional Idol family!

Wonder what Nicariah moments await us tonight?!
