A former contestant on American Idol passed away suddenly on Friday and fans are feeling the loss.

If you missed last night's American Idol, 21 year old Rochester native Jillian Jensen's dream was cut short after she was eliminated from the competition. The show that aired last night on Fox, showed Jillian many times backstage, but she did not perform on the show.

After performing an original song for her latest appearance on FOX's American Idol, Rochester native Jillian Jensen will be moving on to the live shows beginning next week. According to South Coast Today, she was fighting back tears as she feared she was about to be cut...

Rochester's Jillian Jensen has been awarded another chance at fame on a TV reality show. She was featured on the season premiere of American Idol last night. Jensen performed a song by Gavin Degraw. Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr., and Keith Urban all gave the thumbs up, so the Rochester native will be heading to Hollywood with a golden ticket...

I hate Nicki Manaj! Well she didn't say that, but you knew who she was aiming at! Leave it to Mariah to tell us just how things went down.

This morning, we spoke with Erika Van Pelt, who finished in 10th place on Season 11 of American Idol, and has her debut album "My Independence" coming out on October 8th!

You've got to hand it to Nicki Minaj -- she certainly knows how to make an entrance. For her appearance Wednesday (Sept. 25) on 'Ellen,' the rapper wore tight leather pants and a short black jacket -- oh, did we mention that the jacket was the only thing she was wearing on top...

"American Idol" is betting that a judges panel remix with Jennifer Lopez, harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will work better with viewers than bickering divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj did last year.

Jennifer Lopez is making a triumphant return to the 'American Idol' judges' table!

They were lining up at 4am this morning at Gillette Stadium - people hoping to be contestants in the 13th season of American Idol.
