Mariah Carey

When watching a singing competition, you're always waiting for that one performance of the night that will just grab your attention. Curtis Finch, Jr.'s cover of Christina Perri's 'Jar of Hearts' was that performance for the evening.

So after Wednesday night's group round of 'American Idol' auditions, the guys had the opportunity to shine by themselves in tonight's solo round.

Mariah Carey will return to the R&B game with a brand new song called 'Almost Home.' The ballad, which is scheduled to be released on Feb. 19, is from Disney's fantasy movie, 'Oz the Great and Powerful.'

We get it, everyone sort of cracks when experiencing high pressure moments, but the key is not to completely breakdown and fall apart. Frankie Ford really had a shot at a top 'Idol' spot with Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and now Keith Urban on his side. But when you fall apart mid-performance, you have no one to blame but yourself for your downfall.

Last night's 'American Idol' was the start of the Hollywood auditions with the fellas kicking things off.

Every season of 'American Idol' there are always one or two people that you never forget from the auditions, and Zoanette Johnson is one of them. Her singing aside, she just seems like one of those people you want to be around because of how outgoing and crazy she is.

Last night's episode of 'American Idol' highlighted the final auditions before the top 40 contestants face-off in Hollywood next week.

Last night's episode of 'American Idol' showcased some of the talented voices of San Antonio, Texas and Long Beach, Calif. There were a bunch of really good singers in this one that could really contend for the 'Idol' crown, and there were plenty of others who should only sing in the shower.

When Burnell Taylor came onto the 'American Idol' audition stage last night, Randy Jackson, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey were surprised by the 19-year-old New Orleans native's song choice.

Known as the "Singing Doctor," Calvin Peters walked into the 'American Idol' auditions last night with a cool demeanor only to reveal he'll be singing Maxwell's 'Whenever Wherever Whatever,' which Keith Urban compared to a "triple black diamond ski."
