American Idol

Angie Miller is gone.

Heck, so is Randy Jackson.

We're down to Candice Glover and Kree Harrison on American Idol Season 12, two worthy competitors who will unfortunately be remembered for appearing on the show's lowest rated season.

Which of these talented ladies will take home the title? Vote and decide now!

Many viewers had her tagged as the next American Idol champion, but Angie Miller received the bad news last night along with her large fan base:

The talented piano player has been voted out of Season 12 a week before the finals.

“It’s bitter and sweet,” Miller told reporters soon after learning her fate. “I definitely thought that with the whole hometown visit and how huge social media has been... did feel kind of confident that I was going to make it.”

Still, Miller harbors no resentment, not considering the talents of Candice Glover and Kree Harrison.

"They're both incredible," she said of her competition, adding that the upcoming finale will be an "amazing night."

ANGIE MILLER!

Poor Angie cried through her farewell song, while Candice will take on Kree next Wednesday night.

Did Miller deserve to get the boot?

The Dawg has left the building.

Amidst historically low ratings and criticism that American Idol has grown stale, Randy Jackson resigned this afternoon from the Fox competition.

“Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season,” Jackson told E! News. “I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry.”

Jackson went on to say he plans to focus on his company, Dream Merchant 21, as well as “other business ventures.”

Ratings for Season 12 of Idol have been decreasing each week and there's been talk that all four judges would have been replaced this summer even if Jackson did not leave on his own.

Producers are reportedly hoping to assemble some kind of dream team that includes Justin Bieber and/or Selena Gomez.

American Idol will air its Season 12 finale next Thursday night.

But that won't be the final chance for two lucky readers to see Candice Glover, Angie Miller and company in action.

American Idol Season 12 comes to a close next week.

But with ratings in a free fall and change undoubtedly on the way, talk is already heating up over who should judge American Idol Season 13.

And following his stint as a mentor last Wednesday, many are asking: Will Harry Connick Jr. join the panel in 2014?

"I had a good time mentoring," the singer told Ellen DeGeneres yesterday before serenading her with a song (below), adding: "Judging is a whole different deal… I haven't talked to anybody [about it]."

On last night's American Idol performance show, Mariah Carey talked a little trash to Nicki Minaj, taunting her for never having a number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.

And now the pop star has fired back at the legendary diva. HARD.

"Why a woman SO successful at her age, is still so INSECURE, and bitter," Minaj Tweeted this afternoon, going on to reference the rumor that Fox was looking to replace Mariah with Jennifer Lopez.
