American Idol 16: Top 10

Air Date: Sunday, April 29, 2018 (8-10pm)

Theme: Disney Night

It's time for the finals to begin! The Top 10 were revealed last week, and now these 10 remaining contestants only have America to save them now. And speaking of America, Idol made history tonight as the first reality competition show ever to air live in every time zone in the country. This really is unprecedented. Because I live on the West Coast, I've never truly been able to watch my favorite show live -- until now -- and I live-tweeted every step of the way.

Not only are these next three weeks live everywhere, but viewers are able to vote in real time, with the results being announced at the end of the episode. That's what happened tonight, as the Top 10 performed Disney songs, and three finalists were eliminated.

Here's my live Twitter recap for the Top 10...

Air Date: Monday, April 9, 2018 (8-10pm)

This rebooted season of American Idol has generally stayed the same to what we knew from its original run on FOX. However, at the semifinals, ABC has changed things up by adding a celebrity duet portion. I was looking forward to seeing how this turned out, so here's my Twitter recap for The Top 24 (Part 1)--Celebrity Duets...

Four weeks after the return of the best singing competition show ever (with new judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie), the American Idol season 16 semifinals have begun! And like I've done with previous seasons, I'll be recapping/giving my thoughts on all the performances.

Years ago, I recapped on my TV Watch Online blog, then eventually provided recaps for other entertainment websites. I've decided to do something different this time around. The night that Idol episodes air, I'll be tweeting commentary on the performances as I'm watching. Then I'll embed those tweets into Twitter recaps here on my personal blog.

This is the first week of the semifinals, with half of the Top 24 performing on the first night. So without further ado, here's my Twitter recap for The Top 24 (Part 1)--Solos...
