Dexter Roberts might be one of the most recent cast-offs from 'American Idol,' but he isn't at all discouraged by his elimination from the hit TV show. Instead, the singer reveals he will move to Nashville as soon as the summer 'Idol' tour wraps up.
Since 'American Idol' debuted more than a dozen years ago, reality singing competitions have become an increasingly viable way to discover new country talent. The show reigned supreme on the airwaves virtually unchallenged for years, until 'The Voice' premiered in 2011. Since then, the two shows have competed fiercely to find the best new talent in country music.
Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson might be the top 'American Idol' earners of all time, but it turns out the two are among a handful of contestants that might be owed even more money.
'American Idol' has become a very important showcase for country music. Since Carrie Underwood shot to superstardom after winning the show's fourth season, the reality singing competition has become more and more involved in finding some of the best young country singers in the world.
Carrie Underwood has returned to being the top-earning 'American Idol' alum, according to Forbes magazine. The singer, who came in second place last year to Kelly Clarkson, reclaims the top spot this year.
Season 13 of 'American Idol' is fast approaching, with its premiere date set for Jan. 15 at 8PM ET.
Country music fans already knew that Keith Urban was returning to his role as a judge on 'American Idol' this season. Now the country superstar's fellow Season 13 judges have been revealed.
After months of speculation, Keith Urban has confirmed that he is returning to 'American Idol' for its thirteenth season.
It's been rumored that Keith Urban may be the only judge from Season 12 of 'American Idol' to return this year, and now a published report appears to confirm that.
Since it debuted in 2002, 'American Idol' has discovered and nurtured a number of singers who have gone on to become some of the biggest names in music.
