Ryan Seacrest News

Ahead of the first of this week’s American Idol live shows, here’s a look back at what happened last week.

The first performance show opened with Ryan saying that the contestants had survived their first results show, then shaking hands with a girl in the audience, pausing to say, “hello, thanks for watching the show!”

This was a perfect opportunity to grab a screenshot that illustrates two questions.

In its ninth season of taping, American Idol has become one of the most popular shows on the air, with a dynamic group of judges that churn out the talent and keep the audience laughing. Ellen DeGeneres joins Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi as judges, and their clashing opinions certainly provide for great entertainment! However, the futures of the contestants ultimately lie in the hands of the viewers!

Allison Iraheta let Ryan into a secret that may save the unnecessary and untimely demise of unicorns … he’s been pronouncing her name wrongly for the past year. We’ll be listening closely the next time Ryan says Allison’s last name!

I love Allison but I was a little distracted watching as Ryan looks really good on the close ups on this video!

After his performance on American Idol results show, Kris appeared on Ryan’s radio show. During the interview, Kris told Ryan that Adam really ought to listen to him because he told him to put Whataya Want From Me out as his first single and Ryan asked about Kris’ home life and how he balances everything that comes with being the American Idol winner with his home life, and ended up thinking Kris has got it all worked out.

Ashley and Janell talked to Ryan after their elimination from American Idol yesterday. Janell and Ashley were roomies and Ryan asked if they were friendly before that. He asked Ashley about making sense of being eliminated this early – she said everything happens for a reason even if it sucks, and said American Idol is the biggest platform she’s had so far. Janell had a feeling she would leave and Ryan asked if she would have done anything differently. She replied would have played guitar first week, perhaps been a little more herself putting a twist on a hip hop song.

Ryan started building the drama as soon as the show started, telling us that the votes are in (24 million of them) and four people would be going home. He introduced the judges and asked Simon why he’d been harsher than normal the night before. Simon said he didn’t think he had been particularly harsh, adding if you’re judging the show you’ve got to give people advice. Ryan confirmed that Simon believed he was just helping, saying, “you were charitable last night? Thank you,” and moving on leaving Simon looking slightly unsure. Ryan introduced the group number … and this clip will never, ever get old:

Oh, Ryan!
