Skylar Laine was eliminated on tonight’s (May 3) episode of ‘American Idol,’ leaving only four contestants gunning for the Season 11 crown.

On tonight’s (May 2) performance episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 5 were asked to perform a song from the ’60s and a song by a Britpop act. Each week is critical as the playing field shrinks and we’re three weeks away from choosing the Season 11 winner.

We love new music here at Mix 94.9 and love when our listeners give us feedback on what THEY want to hear!  That said, Kris Allen fans have spoken loud and clear.  We added his new single "The Vision Of Love" last week and received numerous requests via our website, Twitter and Facebook pages.

On tonight’s (April 11) episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 7 brought songs from 2010 until today. While we did a double take at first because 2010 seems like, well, yesterday, it turns out quite a few great songs have been released in the past two years. With Akon coming ... Read More ...

The one man I thought was a sure winner on American Idol didn't need to win to become a huge star! Chris Daughtry was a finalist on Season Five of AI, and now the members of the band he was in before AI are suing him, saying they ripped them off!

When Joshua Ledet revealed that he would (bravely attempt to) sing Mariah Carey‘s version of ‘Without You’ on tonight’s (March 28) episode of ‘American Idol,’ season advisor Jimmy Iovine immediately stated that it’s one of the five hardest songs to sing in popular music.

On tonight’s episode (March 28) of ‘American Idol,’ the hopefuls were allowed to perform songs by their personal idols. Deandre Brackensick chose R&B singer Eric Benet’s sensitive tune ‘Sometimes I Cry.’ Benet, astute pop culture watchers will recall, is the ex-husband of Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry, who famously admitted to cheating on her. It was a tabloid scandal, so we hope Brackensi

‘American Idol‘ contestant Jessica Sanchez is a diva in the making, so it was only appropriate that she serenade us in a Sasha Fierce fashion singing ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Beyonce Knowles. Sanchez coined Knowles as her idol stating “As a kid I used to try and do her moves, but I don’t anymore because I know I can’t do them!” We’d still like to see her give it the old college try.

Tonight’s (March 28) episode of ‘American Idol‘ featured the nine remaining contestants performing the songs of their own personal idols. It’s a smart theme, since these kids are trying to be Idols! Fleetwood Mac Queen Stevie Nicks performed her civic duty by serving as this episode’s guest mentor...

Teenage ‘American Idol‘ contestant Hollie Cavanagh performed Carrie Underwood‘s hit ‘Jesus Take the Wheel’ on tonight’s episode, where contestants were challenged to pick a song by their own personal idol. While the Texas native put her heart and soul into the performance, the judges had mixed feelings about her rendition of Underwood’s song.

Country gal Skylar Laine reminds us of Reba, but she idolizes Miranda Lambert and that’s whose song she chose to perform on tonight’s (March 28) episode of ‘American Idol.’ The hopefuls were allowed to sing songs by their own personal idols and Laine did Lambert proud with her crackling performance.
