He may not have won American Idol Season 8, but I think Danny Gokey is happier right now without that title as Danny Gokey and his wife welcome their new baby boy. His wife, Leyicet, delivered their son, Daniel Emanuel Gokey, on Sunday. This is the first child for both Danny and his wife. We all saw Danny Gokey make the Top 3 on American Idol Season 8, but lose one step before the finale and now I’m sure he considers himself the winner.

The hype is over and we have finally seen the new American Idol 2013 judges in action, so it is time to get your thoughts on who your favorite American Idol 12 judge is…so far?

With the American Idol 2013 premiere kicking off last night, we finally got a chance to see some of the American Idol Season 12 auditions take place. All the hoopla and hype was about to be shown onscreen and I was happy to see the new crop of singers on American Idol 2013 and I was excited to see how the new American Idol 2013 judges worked together. One of the highlights of the night was the Gurpreet Singh Sarin audition for American Idol 2013. He was dubbed The Turbanator and you can see why in the video below!

The time has come for American Idol 2013 to make it’s debut and it comes without much publicity, right? Hardly, as FOX has been beating it into our minds that American Idol 2013 is coming and it is going to be better than ever with the new judges and new singers. The American Idol 2013 judges are of course Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and the one that never goes away Randy Jackson. Many feel the best part of any American Idol season are the auditions, so get ready for the American Idol 2013 auditions to start tonight!

The American Idol 2013 premiere kicks off tonight on FOX and I could not be any happier, but not for the reasons you think. I am just sick of the hype and the talk of American Idol Season 12 and the new American Idol judges and the feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. Can we just get to the American Idol 2013 auditions and see what kind of singers we have to look forward to please? With all the new talent this season, it looks like the judges are pulling out some early American Idol 2013 predictions and saying a girl will win this season!

With the American Idol 2013 premiere kicking off tomorrow night on FOX, they have all the new American Idol judges out there promoting the new season. Nicki Minaj on Tonight Show last night and she talked about the supposed feud with Mariah Carey. Is it real or is it fake is what host Jay Leno asked and you can find the answer in the video below. The American Idol Season 12 buzz has been working overtime, especially with the addition of Mariah, Nicki and Keith Urban as judges on American Idol 2013.

If you want a show to stay fresh and strong in the rating they have to make changes and that is what Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe is trying to do with American Idol Season 12 and bring back some of those American Idol fans that have not been tuning in the past few seasons. One of those changes could be taking a page from The X Factor USA 2012, as it looks like American Idol 2013 is going t reveal the voting results each week during the live shows. Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian did it every week for The X Factor USA Season 2 and now it looks like Ryan Seacrest will be doing it for American Idol Season 12.

We all have seen and read that the American Idol 2013 premiere kicks off next week for their two-night premiere. What does the rest of the schedule look like for American Idol Season 12 though?
