If you've seen any of the commercials for "American Idol" Season 9, then you've undoubtedly heard The Undeserving, a band from Toledo, Ohio, whose uplifting song "Something To Hope For" is the soundtrack to this year's ad campaign. As it turns out,...

Last year around this time, I had a feeling that "American Idol" was about to go through a Jason Mraz phase. I was half right. Kris Allen, Season 8's ultimate winner, shared several qualities with that under-the-radar pop star: he had an effervescent...

Copenhagen-bred post-rockers Efterklang (think Arcade Fire meets Kraftwerk, which sounds pretty groovy to us) have landed on our shores, and they've brought the sounds of their latest album, "Magic Chairs." Indie trio 60 Watt Kid and Finland's SISU...

Most of our "Idol" pundits called it correctly, but you didn't have to be an expert to figure out that Knoxville's Didi Benami was likely going home on Wednesday night. After a mediocre performance of the '60s soul classic "What Becomes of the Broken...

Well, weren’t we just tickled pink to be invited into the secret lair that is Monday’s “American Idol� rehearsal. That’s right, just the Top 9, executive producer Ken Warwick, stage manager Debbie Williams, Rickey Minor and the “Idol� band,...

For the second week in a row, we got to sit in on Monday's rehearsal and see a little of how the "American Idol" magic comes to life. Truth be told, it wasn't all that different from the first time -- not only because there are still nine contestants...

In the black-and-white flashback to last night's show that kicked off tonight's elimination edition of "American Idol," Adam Lambert noted, with a snap, "If you want to win this competition, you've got to wake up." Despite Lambert's best efforts at...
