Sheryl Phillips, the mother of 'American Idol' season 11 winner Phillip Phillips, who scored one of the biggest hits in the show's history with 'Home,' was arrested for DUI on Thursday, Feb. 14.

'American Idol' auditions are over, and now the contestants have been thrown into the heat of competition that is Hollywood Week. Tonight's (Feb. 7) episode focused on the solo performances by the boys. Next week, on Thursday night, eight more of the male contestants will be sent home. So no one is safe. Here are the key singers who made it through and who face being chopped in a week. Hey, we nev

Nate Tao delivered an effortlessly beautiful rendition of Stevie Wonder's 'For Once in My Life' on tonight's (Jan. 31) audition episode of 'American Idol,' which took place in Oklahoma City. Tao, who is from Virginia, was unique not just because of his melodious voice, but because he is the son of two deaf parents. So he communicates with his hands as effectively as he does his voice.

Adam Sanders was the last contestant featured on the San Antonio portion of tonight’s episode of ‘American Idol’ (Jan. 30). The emotional 19-year-old Texan teared up more than once during his audition, but he managed to control the waterworks long enough to deliver an impressive version of ‘I’d Rather Go Blind’ by Etta James.

Vincent Powell was the first audition featured on tonight’s episode of ‘American Idol’ (Jan. 30), and what a way to start! The Texas native blew the judges away with his soulful delivery of B.B. King’s ‘Rock Me Baby,’ causing them to utter an appreciative chorus of “ooh”s and “ahh”s.

On tonight’s audition episode of ‘American Idol’ (Jan. 23) at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, 16-year-old Isabel Gonzalez delivered a stunning rendition of Sam Cooke’s ‘Nothing Can Change This Love.’ Her talent and youthful charm won over judges Randy Jackson, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Mariah Carey, who happily sent her on to Hollywood.

Tonight’s round of ‘American Idol’ auditions took North Carolina by storm, sweeping through the famous Charlotte Motor Speedway. The episode was filled with talent, laughter, tears and, of course, a healthy dose of drama.

Welcome to the thousandth season of 'American Idol' everyone! Okay we kid, it's only the 12th season, but let's do some math: we're 25, show's been on 12 years = it started when we were just mere 13-year-olds arguing with our friends over who the hottest member of the Backstreet Boys was.

Congratulations to Joshua David Kingsly who has taken the $500 cash prize in our "Casper Idol" video contest.

It seems like everyone who’s anyone in pop and country music is in the running for the vacant judge posts on ‘American Idol.’ Diva Mariah Carey is the only judge firmly in place, as sole OG judge Randy “In It to Win It” Jackson’s future remains up in the air, dawg. It’s ironic, since he’s Mimi’s manager and brought her into the ‘Idol’ fold. With Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry all rumored
