With so much to do in Austin during SXSW, you can easily get lost in the sea of people all around.

On last night's AMERICAN IDOL contestants were challenged to perform 'Songs from the Cinema'.

After two weeks of appropriately vague themes allowed the neophyte contestants to explore their individual artistry, I became more than a little apprehensive when Ryan said the top-11 would be singing the “Songs of the Cinema.” The lame OCEAN'S ELEVEN cold open, completed by the cheesiest “This is AMERICAN IDOL” ever to come out of Seacrest's mouth, made me worry that this could be a cheesetastic disaster. However, I forgot that the majority of this year's remaining contestants have shown a surprising talent for avoiding the cliché, and made this the best week of IDOL all season!

They may not know the lyrics, but that didn't stop Ellen's audience from breaking out in the Oscar-winning song 'Let It Go' from Disney's Frozen.

Below, take a look at some hilarious versions of the famous shot, then submit yours, here!

Last night's episode of the one-time FOX juggernaut AMERICAN IDOL hit an all time series low

It's the show America can't get enough of! Kerry Washington, star of "Scandal," dished the scoop to the show's biggest fan, Ellen.

The Academy of Country Music and dick clark productions announced ACM Award nominees Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, George Strait, Keith Urban and The Band Perry are scheduled to perform on the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

The competition heated up on last night's AMERICAN IDOL on FOX when the Top 12 finalists performed LIVE. Who amazed the judges and who fell flat?

Well, after last week's mini-disaster of a top-13 week, there was not much that American Idol could have thrown out on stage tonight that wouldn't have been an improvement. The home-visit episode, where the final three contestants receive ticker tape parades in their respective hometowns, has been the most emotional in each of IDOL's first 12 seasons. So apparently, new producer Per Blankens decided to use some of that emotion in the early stages of this season. While both the vocals and performances were stark improvements over last week, I'm not sure that this episode is going to harken back to the Golden Days of AMERICAN IDOL's dominance.
