American Idol XIII: Top 13 Performances – “This Is Me”

After a rushed Rush Week, I didn’t know what to expect coming in this week’s show.

American Idol XIII Ep. 1 and 2: Boston, Austin and San Francisco Auditions

Before we crack the books on Season 13, we’d like to introduce ourselves (again) for this season. In case you didn’t tune in to Andrew’s Idol Series last season – here are his “qualifications” for reviewing Idol. First and foremost, he’s watched every single season. He’s been there through the highs and lows of this show, the […]
