After an extremely long journey of winning over the judges and America's hearts, it was time for a winner to be announced for season twelve of "American Idol."
On Thursday (May 16), Kree Harrison and Candice Glover both excitedly took the stage to find out who would become the next reality TV singing sensation.
Stepping out to celebrate the end of a long road, judges, alums, and fans of "American Idol" attended the Finale Results Show at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday (May 16).
Having given their input to each contestant, judges Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, and Randy Jackson all showed their support.
Lending her vocal talents to the American version of the show she almost won back in Canada, Carly Rae Jepsen performed on “American Idol” on Wednesday (May 15).
The Canadian-born songstress debuted her new song “Take a Picture” during the first night of the singing competition's finale episodes.
With fellow judge and "American Idol" fixture Randy Jackson announcing his departure from the musical talent show earlier this month, a source says Nicki Minaj will be heading off in the sunset after the current season is finished.
According to a report by US Weekly on Wednesday (May 15), the "Roman Holiday" rapper will instead be working on a new album and some endorsement deals she has lined up.
Getting ready for a serious career change, Randy Jackson announced he is officially leaving "American Idol" after the current season.
Taking to Twitter, the last remaining original judge wrote, "Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season.”
She’s built a sterling reputation as one of today’s hottest live performers, and Alicia Keys definitely didn’t disappoint her fans on “American Idol” last night (May 9).
The “Girl On Fire” songstress took the stage at the results show to debut her brand new single “Tears Always Win,” much to the delight of the audience.
Usually it’s the contestants who worry for their future, but it seems the judges over at “American Idol” may all be getting the axe once Season 12 is over.
