After ten years of FOX dominating mid-week television ratings, NBC has finally responded to mega-hit ‘American Idol' with its own vocal competition- ‘The Voice.' It took them long enough! Premiering just last night, music stars Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton took a turn judging America's talent, seated in oversized revolving thrones that made Idol's panel look like a picnic table.

The trademark comedic shenanigans of Saturday night are moving to Sunday, June 5! MTV today announced that Jason Sudeikis - leading comedic actor and 'Saturday Night Live' regular - will host the '2011 MTV Movie Awards' LIVE on Sunday, June 5, from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Alabama's favorite musical son is bringing his unique style of southern soul, R & B, country and blues to Pitman next month. Since winning Idol, Hicks' life story has been one of pure success. Less than three weeks after his Idol win, his debut single, 'Do I Make You Proud,' entered at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, Pop 100 and Single Sales charts, and People Magazine named Hicks 'Hottest Bachelor of the Year.'

This week on American Idol, the Top 7 sang songs from the 21st century, and Stefano Langone was sent packing. Check out photos from the episode below!

From a Casey -on-JLo smooch to a shockingly awesome performance from Ms. Reinhart, last night's episode of American Idol was chock-full of welcomed surprises. Beginning with the unexpected performance from the already eliminated half of the top 13, the shockers just kept coming- perhaps the best of which being the sudden harsher-than-normal criticism from the judges! Finally some legit guidance for the voters that need it!

After the great Pia Toscano debacle of 2011, last week's elimination of Paul McDonald was refreshing to say the least. Though I can't deny that I already miss his uncomfortably white teeth and the kooky way he pranced around the Idol stage, it was his time to go.

Last night on American Idol, the top 8 sang songs made popular on the silver screen, and Paul McDonald became the next elimination victim. Check out photos from the episode below!

After last week's shock elimination, it seemed that everyone on the AMERICAN IDOL stage was especially aware of how quickly things can change. One minute, a contestant seems easily on top, and the next, they're out of the competition.

To say that last week's American Idol elimination was a shocker is the understatement of the century. In fact, Pia Toscano's untimely departure from the show seems to have left a bad taste in the mouths of Idol fans everywhere, with Pia being the subject of talk show chats and internet gossip all week. I for one, won't cease missing watching her on a weekly basis anytime soon.

In last night's American Idol results show, front-runner Pia Toscano was eliminated from the show. Check out her performance of 'River Deep Mountain High' (the performance that sent her home) below. Does this seem worthy of ninth place?

It seems too early in the competition for the finalists of American Idol to be so universally outstanding. Sure, last night's performances included both highs and lows, and true I'm attached to some of the competitors more than others. Quite frankly, I find it highly unusual that the top 9 are as polished as they are. Perhaps it's a reflection of the show's new mentors and/or judges?

Last night on American Idol, the top 9 jammed to the '500 Songs That Shaped Rock n Roll' from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Check out photos from the episode below!

Down to just nine performers, American Idol's remaining contestants have proven week after week that they make up perhaps the most talented bunch of finalists in the show's 10 season history. No complaints there, but such a statistic also means that even excellent performances tonight could warrant a ticket home.

'No more saves, no more exceptions, and no one can escape the outcome of your over 55 million votes.' Ryan Seacrest painted the perfect picture of tonight's episode right off the bat. With last week's dramatic Casey Abrams rescue, tonight became the first and only double elimination of the season.

In last night's 'American Idol,' the final 11 got the chane to perform yet agian, but the music of Elton John this time around. Check out images from the episode below!
