If you were hoping to see Mariah Carey on one of American Idol's final episodes, then you'll have to splice together footage of her stint on the show with clips of the new episodes as they air, because she's never setting foot in that studio again.
Now that Upfronts 2015 have entered the scheduling phase, we thought most of the major renewals, cancellations and pickups had delivered their biggest surprises. Not so apparently, as FOX has decided to put American Idol out to pasture after 15 seasons, ending the reality singing competition for good next year.
The wildly talented American Idol runner-up is recording new music and he's spilling some info about what we can expect to ear from him next album, The Original High.
Want to join the ranks of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Philip Phillips and other 'Idol' alums? Well, your chance to audition for 'American Idol's 14th (!) season is just around the corner!
The top 10 for Season 12 of 'American Idol' was revealed on Thursday's episode, the first results show of the season. America has chosen the five men and five women that comprise the top 10.
Here's who's moving on:
Nigel Lythgoe, producer of 'American Idol' (and just about every other FOX reality show), insists that smackdown between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj was very real and wasn't conjured up by the publicity-hungry suits at the network.
Not because they'd never do such a thing, but because the timing is way off.
