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.

In the second night of 'American Idol' audition episodes, the panel took their talents -- and their talent -- to the Windy City.

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.

The 'American Idol' judges and host Ryan Seacrest cover the new issue of TV Guide in advance of the Season 12 premiere next week.

High up on the list of things that shouldn't concern Nicki Minaj: becoming “too famous.” Yet the singer is incredibly worried that her new role as judge on 'American Idol' could do just that, even though it opens her up to whole a new audience of exactly no one since 'Idol' watchers already know who she is.

If you happened to watch 'X Factor' last night, then you probably saw not one, but two previews for the upcoming and much talked about 12th season of 'American Idol.' We know, we're pretty stoked about it too.

It's cool, dawg. Randy Jackson is back as an 'American Idol' judge!

Season 11 of ‘American Idol‘ concluded with the crowning of victor Phillip Phillips; but as the saying goes, the show must go on. Top 10 finalists fans came to know and love over the course of the season – Phillips, Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet, Hollie Cavanagh, Skylar Laine, Elise Testone, Colton Dixon, DeAndre Brackensick, Heejun Han and Erika Van Pelt – are currently out on tour bringing TV st

Lopez and Tyler out, Minaj in.  Fox TV has confirmed that Nicki Minaj will be a judge on the next season on American Idol.

She’s got one hand in her pocket and another in Fremantle Media’s pocket, apparently. Alanis Morissette has announced that she may be in the running to be a new ‘American Idol‘ judge.

Is ‘American Idol‘ about to put a rapper on its judging panel for the first time? While Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams are among the artists being considered for the show’s last vacant judging slot, Page Six is adding a new name to the mix — Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Mariah Carey has officially joined ‘American Idol‘ as a judge for Season 12, which kicks off in 2013. Congrats not only to Carey but to Fox on this major, major coup. While it seemed that producers had a challenge on their hands in trying to find a suitable A-list replacement for the departing Jennifer Lopez, they outdiva-ed the diva with this addition.
