Caleb Johnson News

'Testify' will drop on August 12th and is now available for pre-order on iTunes

Very few bands can claim their concert debut was at Woodstock, but Crosby, Stills & Nash have been establishing themselves as music legends since that fateful day in the summer of '69.

Recently crowned AMERICAN IDOL Season XIII champ Caleb Johnson escorted runner-up Jena Irene Asciutto to her North Farmington High School prom, held Wednesday night.

Meat Loaf, aka Marvin Lee Aday, mistakenly received quite a few congratulations for his supposed American Idol win this week after rocker Caleb Johnson was crowned season 13 champion on May 22.

In a collaboration that seemed to be inevitable, Caleb Johnson teamed up with iconic rock band, KISS on last night's AMERICAN IDOL season finale. Watch below as they perform a double bill of the songs 'Love Gun' and Shout It Out Loud.'

On last night's AMERICAN IDOL, Caleb Johnson was crowned the Season 18 winner, joining previous champ Kelly Clarkson, Phil Phillips, Carrie Underwood and many more.

AMERICAN IDOL XIII came to a ROCK-tastic close tonight as wild child Caleb Johnson was crowned the winner during the live two-hour Season Finale on FOX.

Caleb Johnson, the newly crowned Season 13 winner of AMERICAN IDOL, will continue what has become tradition and join the previously announced star studded performers in paying tribute to the service and sacrifice of all our men and women in uniform

A journey that started nearly a year ago officially ended tonight. From tens of thousands auditioning last summer to one being named the 13th American Idol. For my money, Caleb Johnson and Jena Irene were not only the two most deserving contenders for this season's crown, but they were so by a wide margin. The contentment with knowing that either would be a worthy champion added to a show that returned to the bygone era when IDOL Finales were the highlight of each TV season.

An explosive edition of Idol is in the books as both the remaining finalists performed three times on the Idol stage on last night's AMERICAN IDOL. Relive the best moments of the night below

In Caleb Johnson and Jena Irene, we have the season's only two performers that consistently gave credible, entertaining performances, and also had a professional command of the stage. As you would expect these two heavyweights delivered a knockout of a competition finale. While I always hate the recycled song choices, and don't get me started on the generally nauseating coronation songs, this was a very enjoyable way to close the competition part of the season.

No matter what happens in tonight's performances, Jena not only deserves to be crowned this season's champ, but IDOL needs her to be crowned this season's champ. It is no secret that the once indomitable singing competition has taken an unceremonious dive in the ratings in recent years. While the show's total numbers are respectable in this proliferated entertainment environment, if the show is ever to reclaim even a piece to its previous status as a cultural touchstone, it needs to again produce a star that reminds America of the show's power.

This week, the two remaining contestants, Caleb Johnson and Jena Irene will face off for the the title of AMERICAN IDOL Season 13 champion.

For the first time in 'American Idol' history, fans are now able to hear the Top Two Finalists Jena Irene's and Caleb Johnson's new original songs before they perform them live during the AMERICAN IDOL XIII Season Finale. Check them out below!

So far this season, more than half a billion votes have been cast in support of the next AMERICAN IDOL! Who will it be? Caleb Johnson or Jena Irene?!

Idol fans, we've been spoiled over the last month. Thirty-minute results shows have kept the stalling and aggravating filler to a minimum, but on the heels of the torturous The Chainsmokers' “performance” of “#Selfie,” I was ready to hate every pain-staking second of the return to a hour-long elimination show. However, The Powers That Be put together one of the most entertaining results show I can remember from any non-SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE show ever.

Coming immediately on the heels of the always emotionally taxing Hometown visits, each of Season XIII's remaining Idols performed three songs on Wednesday's penultimate performance show. The first round was made up of songs suggested by the surprisingly not-worthless 'full-time' mentor, Randy Jackson. The next round was songs that the judging panel of Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, and Harry Connick Jr. selected, and the final round consisted of songs the Top-3 had previously performed on the show and were determined by their hometown fans (and by hometown fans, I mean the show's producers).

The hopefuls have been narrowed down to three amazing singers - Alex Preston, Caleb Johnson and Jena Irene - on AMERICAN IDOL XIII.

After Top-11 Week, when the remaining contestants get to spend their summer on our, this is the most important reward for IDOL finalists surviving elimination. The Top-3 will quickly depart Hollywood and head to their hometowns for the annual Cry-Fests, so tonight's elimination has even more riding on it than normal.
