Kris Allen said his "American Idol" victory won't alter his marriage or his music.
Ryan Seacrest may love to say that America is in control of “American Idol,” and viewers’ votes are what ultimately decide, but the finalists’ fates can be influenced by the gods: the show’s producers. One of the many ways they not-so-subtly promote particular contestants is by choosing the order in which the finalists perform every night. Fans have affectionately or not-so-affectionately nicknamed the final performance the “pimp slot,” because that’s where the show puts contestants it wants to promote and play up. The reasoning is simple: Viewers definitely remember the last performance, and not just because more viewers tune in during the second half-hour. Voting opens nearly immediately after that person sings, and of course, that person and their phone number also appear last in the recap that closes out each performance show.
Matt Giraud had more chances than anyone in recent memory on “American Idol,” but the coolest cat on the show finally had the clock run out on him this week.

The journey from the oil rig to Hollywood ended on Thursday for Michael Sarver, as he became the fourth of this season’s 13 finalists voted off the show. Sarver was the lowest vote-getter on Motown night, and though he sang well in his sing-for-your-life performance, having to get onstage right after Stevie Wonder didn’t help. The judges took every second they had to make a decision on whether or not to save him, before the great and powerful Simon Cowell unilaterally decided to send him home. It’s hard to remember a contestant who was more cheerful and self-aware than Sarver, even when he struggled. That was evident on a night when he seemed to know what awaited him. When he and Lil Rounds were told that one of them was in the bottom three, he told Rounds to sit down because she was safe. Later, when he was onstage in the bottom three with Matt Giraud and Scott MacIntyre, and host Ryan Seacrest asked if someone didn’t deserve to be up there, he pointed to Giraud. Even when he saw the
Filming finished last month, the final collections had their moment in the Bryant Park spotlight, and still the sixth season of “Project Runway” remains in limbo. It’s a tough time for fans itching for a reality TV fashion fix, but host Heidi Klum has a plan.

The Hollywood round is the eye in the "American Idol" hurricane: its intense competition, singing, and critiques come without the insufferable studio audience or the tedious elimination ceremonies that start later this month.

"American Idol" returned with Ryan Seacrest standing before the Grand Canyon. In previous seasons, that's been the size of the gap between "Idol" and everyone else in the ratings wars. But with the show starting to show a little wear and tear and the detractors getting friskier, the start of season eight revealed some new wrinkles to freshen things up.

Dick Clark is still Mr. New Year's Eve — but he'll be sharing the title with Ryan Seacrest.
Simon Cowell said on Tuesday night that David Archuleta had scored a knockout victory in the "American Idol" finale. Instead, the voters scored a TKO of their own, punching out the opinion of the "Idol" judges.
From the moment Michael Buffer began the show with his trademarked “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble,” it was apparent that “Idol” was going to milk its battle of heavyweights for all it was worth. David Cook and David Archuleta came out in boxing robes, the theme from “Rocky” blared, and the show got down to the business, in its own hokey way, of selecting its champion.

Seven Reasons Kris Won American IdolJust like it's now bad karma to be the front runner in the Oscar race (as Frost/Nixon can tell you) or the presidential election (as Hillary Clinton can tell you), it also doesn't help if you're the foregone winner of Idol long before the season is over.
With just under 100 million votes cast towards deciding this year's winner, American Idol pulled out all the stops for its two hour finale. And what a finale it was!

American Idol is down to its Top 3 and for its 300th episode each of the guys had to sing two songs – a choice of their own and one chosen by one of the judges. Hands down, the guys picked better songs than the judges.
After Tuesday's train wreck performance, I thought for sure that tonight's American Idol results show would be the end of the line for Danny Gokey. But apparently Danny's got some unbelievable luck or some devoted (although deaf) fans.
This week Guns N Roses' Slash joined American Idol's Top 4 for Rock Week. If the excitement of seeing the final four rock out wasn't enough, Idol added duets to the mix this week.

American Idol this week might have been a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Motown, but for the contestants it was a chance to show what they could do with great music. And the guys really stepped up to the challenge this week with the some great, original performances.

It's Grand Ole Opry Night on American Idol and that means Simon is going to be extra hard to please. We all know how little the Brit likes country music so it's a real test to see which of the Top 11 can impress him tonight.
