American IdolSeason 10

Episodes

  • E01 Auditions No. 1: New York/New Jersey

    Jan 19, 2011 · 1h 25m

    The talent contest opens Season 10 with auditions in New York and New Jersey.

  • E02 Auditions No. 2: New Orleans

    Jan 20, 2011 · 1h 25m

    As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for. After many viewers (yours truly included) complained that American Idol's Season 10 premiere on Wednesday didn't offer anything remarkably different from past seasons, Thursday's episode gave us something we've never seen before: Randy Jackson's bare stomach. I'm pretty sure that's not what any of us were hoping for. So, what had Randy (and Steven!) taking off their clothes? And which New Orleans singers gave J. Lo goose bumps and moved her to tears? Let's find out....

  • E03 Auditions No. 3: Milwaukee

    Jan 26, 2011 · 1h 25m

    The American Idol audition train rolled on to Milwaukee, which served up yet another batch of really young youngsters, a few more impressive standouts and the most ridiculous auditions we've seen thus far. But while watching and judging the wannabes, some interesting things happened to the judging panel: Steven Tyler became an even more inappropriate softie, Jennifer Lopez finally looked comfortable crushing people's dreams and Randy Jackson ... actually said something smart? So which singers inspired these changes?

  • E04 Auditions No. 4: Nashville

    Jan 27, 2011 · 1h 25m

    Feb 2, 2011 · 1h 25m

    Before American Idol got down to wild and wacky business in Austin, the producers decided to start the show with a somber moment. Responding to some recent outrage over Steven Tyler's outlandish (and sometimes vulgar) outbursts and his inappropriate come-ons toward some of the younger female singers, the producers apologized for his "outrageous behavior." So did the Aerosmith rocker straighten up?

  • E06 Auditions No. 6: Los Angeles

    Feb 3, 2011 · 1h 25m

    Well, the other shoe finally dropped. After a season that, so far, has mostly favored the good auditions, Thursday's episode focused almost exclusively on the bad. Steven Tyler attributed the change to the city of Los Angeles, which he deduced is full of delusional people. Things got so bad that even J. Lo discovered her potty mouth. So, who was the worst of the worst?
