"American Idol" viewers apparently weren't caught in a romance with Colton Dixon. The 20-year-old alt-rocker was revealed Thursday to have received the fewest viewer votes on the Fox talent competition. Dixon was surprisingly eliminated from "Idol" after delivering lukewarm renditions of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and Earth Wind and Fire's "September" on Wednesday's evening of old and new tunes. It was his first time in the show's bottom three.

We all knew it was coming, didn’t we “Dancing With the Stars” fans? The day when singer, songwriter and part-time psychic Gavin DeGraw and his partner Karina Smirnoff would have to walk the ballroom plank, be loosed from the ballroom and into the shining sea. We knew it. The judges knew it. Heck, even he knew it.

The Voice eliminated quarterfinalists RaeLynn and Ashley De La Rosa and determined four of its second-season semifinalists during Tuesday night's broadcast of the NBC singing competition.

The crying started even before the elimination was revealed. When TV personality Sherri Shepherd and Disney star Roshon Fegan learned they had been left standing under the spotlights of shame (it was the first time in the bottom two for both), it was funny lady Sherri who cracked.

Melissa Gilbert wound up in the hospital on Monday night after falling during a dance; she's since Twittered that she'll be all right.

The panel may not be great at this whole criticism thing, but at least they’ve shown the ability to learn from previous mistakes.

The panel was clearly basking in the nostalgic glow of the '80s theme. Pretty much everyone got kudos, oversinging be darned.

It’s a night of tears on “Dancing With the Stars,” as each celeb shares a story of the most memorable year of their lives — and in the majority of cases, break down into sobs as the camera zooms in to thoughtfully capture every emotional moment.

The judges deemed the premiere the series' "best ever," so did the stars buckle under pressure? No, but the panel didn't dish out the love either.

There must be some reason the folks at “American Idol” think that the best way to find tomorrow’s pop star is to have them sing songs that were popular a generation ago as opposed to, you know, actual hit singles from today. We’ve gone from Whitney Houston/Stevie Wonder to Songs from Your Birth Year to ... Billy Joel. When do we get Lawrence Welk week?
