Wednesday marked homecoming day for the American Idol Top 3. Hannah Harper returned to Willow Springs, Missouri. Jordan McCullough went home to Murfreesboro, Tenn. And Keyla Richardson traveled back to Pensacola, Fla. Each singer was the star of their own parade, then performed an evening concert for their hometown fans. Jordan’s return also included…
Think Hannah Harper still isn’t the favorite to win American Idol Monday night? Think again. This week marks a clean sweep for Hannah. Every week since fan voting began on American Idol, Hannah has had the most popular performance of the week based on Facebook views. From Monday night’s show, she did it twice….
Chris Tungeth was the last singer American Idol fans met during the Season 24 auditions. Way back then, Luke Bryan predicted he’d do well on the show. Turns out the 27-year-old from Fergus Falls, Minn., nearly made it all the way to the Season 24 finals. Chris was eliminated Monday night, along with Braden…
American Idol is beginning to release details about next week’s three-hour season finale. Jordan McCullough, Keyla Richardson and Hannah Harper will be squaring off for the American Idol crown, of course. But the Idol finale also includes guest stars each season, most of whom perform with a standout from the current season. This year’s…

Tonight, American Idol voters pick the finalists for Season 24. We’re down to a Top 5 of Hannah Harper, Keyla Richardson, Jordan McCullough, Chris Tungseth and Braden Rumfelt. Two head home at the end of tonight’s show. The other three head home for those renown American Idol homecoming celebrations and concerts. But first, everyone…
Welp, I think the second half of Monday’s American Idol proved my point. Given a wide range of songs and genres to choose from, American Idol’s Season 24 cast can be counted on to deliver solid performances. Force them out of their comfort zone and make them cover songs they wouldn’t normally choose to,…
American Idol’s ratings bounced back nicely this week. In fact, the total estimated audience for Sunday’s show checked in a 5.36 million. That’s up slightly from last season’s Top 7 show (5.27 million). That’s up 5 percent over the previous week’s show (5.07 million). And it’s Idol’s largest audience since the Hollywood Week episode…
