Every year, I get so excited to see the Baby Photos from that season's Top Idols.  I don't know why, but I get positively giddy over it.  I find it hilarious, as some of them look exactly the same, only bigger, while others barely look like the same person!  So, of course, when they posted this year's Top 10's Baby Photos, I had to check them out immediately.  These are some

With all of the social networking sites out there these days, it's fun to really show everyone who you are, and what your likes and dislikes are, which is where Widgets come in.  We've just added two new ones recently.  One is an Americanidol.com Top 13 widget, where you can keep tra...

I know we all love American Idol, and we definitely become attached to our favorites, season after season.  But have you ever really thought about what it would like to BE them?  One day you're waiting tables or working in an oil field, and the next you're living in a mansion in Beverly Hills...amazing, right!?  Sometimes it just blows my mind.

If you haven't given up television, or any sort of news coverage whatsoever, for Lent, then you know that there was an oh-so-delicious twist this year to the show, and we just added our first-ever Top 13.  MEET THEM!  The profile pages are very pretty, so I must urge you to click that link...the one that says "MEET THEM."  Okay, well, h... ...

After watching the Group 1 and Group 2 performances, it's clear that the judges are being particularly picky on song choice this year.  Some people feel this is a logical thing on which to judge them, while others think it shouldn't even be a consideration.

While cruising around the blogs today and boards today, I found this ... MORE

This past week, as well as for the next two weeks, I'm going to have the opportunity to partake in a media event with the three people voted through to the Top 12.  This past week, as we all know, it was Alexis Grace, Danny Gokey, and Michael Sarver.  It was a ...

If you haven't noticed, American Idol is one giant snow globe this year, as the producers have really shaken things up.  In order to get to our Top 12, the Top 36 have been broken down into 3 groups of 12.  America will pick 3 from each group, and ...

With tomorrow's show being the always dramatic Green Mile episode, a.k.a. the 2-hour show in which the semifinalists are revealed (36 this year!), I thought we could take a look back at a few characters we didn't see during auditions this year.  And while we're at it, let's have some fun with captions. 

As I cruise through the galleries each season, I inevitably come across

I know plenty of us focus our time in MyIdol, feeding our blog and/or forum addictions.  However, you should take the time to visit our homepage here and there to get some juicy scoop and useful information.  Case in point is this video--we had the chance to interview the Hollywood hopefuls, so watch it get to know your faves! 

And since it's Friday, I thought this might be

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, the Live with Regis and Kelly show has decided to play cupid, and you're never going to guess the celebrity bachelor with whom you can win a date.  Didn't you read my title?  it's Taylor Hicks!  Want more info?  Check out our news blog.  Taylor actually goes into detail about the kind of...

I came across this post when I was looking for "Hot Blogs" today, and it had some great info on Kellie Pickler's upcoming tour.  Apparently, she is touring with new BFF Taylor Swift.  Taylor helped Kellie to pen her "revenge song," "Best Days Of Your Life".  This particular blogger said he saw them on the Brad Paisley tour, and that they were amazing.  Interestingly enough,

Let's face it--in this day and age, it's hard to remember what we had for dinner last night, let alone the hopefuls from the very first audition city.  Due to time constraints, not everyone who made it was shown as well.  That's why we've added a Hollywood Photo Gallery, compiled of glamorous pics of all the singers you'll see during Hollywood Week.  Take a stroll!  Have a l...

Hi Blogging Friends!

It's great to see most of you have found your way back to the site, and yet you are probably strangely disoriented!  Please feel free to borrow my mantra:  "This too shall pass."  We might start out with a few bumps and bruises, but as you can see from the other areas of the site, this is going to be an amazing place to gather during the season.  So bear

One of my favorite parts of my job is picking the "Hot Blogs" and "Hot Boards" for our homepage.  I just love seeing what people are talking about, and sometimes, I come across something that makes me stop and pause.  Today was one of those times.  Blogger tribeca, who faithfully blogs and posts in the forums, wrote this blog post entitled "my unpopular op...
