5 weeks ago Good news and bad news for a couple of aspiring singers on American Idol last night. Opelousas native Donald Reed moved on to the next step, group rounds. UL student Ben Boone saw his chance at becoming America's next Idol come to an end as he was eliminated from the competition.
January 16, 2014 Louisiana's own Harry Connick Jr was apparently unknown to some of the 'American Idol' hopefuls on the season premiere of the hit TV show last night. That's ok, WE love you, Harry!
January 15, 2014 UL senior Ben Boone will be appearing on the Season 13 premiere of American Idol this Wednesday night at 7pm.
'American Idol' will hit the air for its 13th season on Jan. 15, and along with the new contestants comes a new panel of judges.
Blake Shelton and Keith Urban serve on the judging panels of competing reality singing shows. So, it's not just the contestants who battle on 'The Voice' and 'American Idol.'
Keith Urban was a busy many for the past year. In addition to touring and releasing the new album 'Fuse,' there was his gig on 'American Idol,' along with all the promotion (and side drama) that accompanied it. It might seem like 'Idol' would be a distraction that would negatively effect or detract from his own music. However, that wasn't the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. His work on the reality show actually helped him gain "fresh perspective" for his latest chart-topper.
September 3, 2013 Louisiana's own Harry Connick Jr, Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban have been confirmed by FOX as judges for season 13 of 'American Idol'!

August 1, 2013 Keith Urban has confirmed that he will be returning to FOX's 'American Idol' as a judge for season 13.
