Just ahead of the show's fourteenth season, original judge-turned-mentor Randy Jackson is officially exiting AMERICAN IDOL, Deadline has confirmed.

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.

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.

Well, now it's time to get serious. AMERICAN IDOL has navigated through a tumultuous Season XIII to get down to a fairly acceptable Top-5. Perhaps last week's goodbye to the tonally deficient C.J. Harris has erased my disappointment in the early eliminations of Majesty and Malaya, but for the most part, the five finalists have all shown something that warrants their inclusion.

This week AMERICAN IDOL welcomed back Season XIII's Top-8 for the second week in a row. This time they were mentored by the incredibly professional and discerning David Cook (especially compared to IDOL's 'full-time” mentor, Randy Jackson, who followed Cook around like a lost puppy all night). The Season 7 Champ brought a focused specificity to each performer's rehearsal, and in most cases that resulted in enjoyable performances.

On last night's AMERICAN IDOL, the Top 8 traveled back in time thirty years to bring the nation the best hits from the 80s!

Just as it did last week, tonight's AMERICAN IDOL featured the Top-8 finalists. After an ill-advised use of the sole judge's save, Sam Woolf remained in the competition long enough to be mentored by former IDOL champ David Cook for this week's 80's theme. With the obvious negligence of 'full-time' mentor Randy Jackson, it is staggering to see how much progress can be made with a mentor who is actively engaged in helping the finalists become better singers, performers, and artists.
