Tonight, Nashville resident Kree Harrison is going to face off with Candice Glover in part one the American Idol finale.  Recently, here at WBKR, we stumbled across some footage of Kree from WAY back in the day.  LOL!  Check her out in this archived video from The Rosie O'Donnell Show.   Ten-year-old Kree belted out Martina McBride's "A Broken Wing!"

Here at WBKR, we thought we had it all figured out.  We just knew that Candice Glover and Angie Miller would be battling it out next in the American Idol finale and that country girl Kree Harrison would finish the season in third place.  But, then, America voted and delivered a huge surprise.  Our Idol expert, Steve Thompson, explains what may have happened!

The days when 'American Idol' had thirty million viewers has -- at least for now -- dropped to eleven million. Randy Jackson has been there since the start, and many other judges have come and gone, but this may be the first time ALL will be replaced. Who would replace them. I suggest John Legend. That dude was great on Project Runway. Taylor Swift would be brilliant and she would bring those prec

Candice Glover.  Kree Harrison.  Angie Miller.  One of those ladies will be the next American Idol.  One of them will finish this season in third place.  Last night, our remaining Idol hopefuls took the stage and performed three songs a piece with one goal in mind . . . making the Idol finale.  So, who stepped up?  Who, as Randy Jackson would say, is really "in it to win it."  And who ma

Even though Keith Urban has only been a judge on 'American Idol' for one season, which is winding down as we speak, his quiet and kind demeanor has already made him a fan favorite.

And then there were three!  Last night on American Idol, Amber was sent home leaving us with just three contenders for the title: Kree Harrison, Candice Glover and Angie Miller.  WBKR's Idol expert Steve Thompson called in this morning to chat with Moon and me about the final stretch . . . and that awesome Twitter feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey!

It is like a case of deja vu.  For the second week in a row, our American Idol Final Four took the stage to compete for spots in the Top Three!  And WBKR's Idol expert Steve Thompson was tuned in and shares his thoughts about who won the night and who's in trouble.

On Wednesday night, Ryan Seacrest hinted that this week's American Idol results show would feature a twist.  However, as WBKR's Idol expert Steve Thompson explains . . . it wasn't must of a "twist' at all.

American Idol's version of the NCAA Final Four is underway and our four remaining contestants were singing for the Final Three last night.  It was a night of big voices, even bigger disappoinments and an odd shift in judges' opinions.  What did WBKR's Idol expert, Steve Thompson, think about the show?

After a strong run that saw her land in the Top 5  this season, country singer Janelle Arthur was eliminated from 'American Idol' on Thursday night (April 18), after unsuccessfully singing for her life.

FINALLY!  We are free at last! Free at last!  Last night on American Idol, Lazaro, whom has been struggling for weeks, received the lowest number of votes and was voted off the Idol stage.  For WBKR's Idol expert Steve Thompson, it was a long time coming and now the best five singers in the competition are left to battle it out!
