Another season of American Idol is in the books?  After two hours of star studded performances the season 13 winner was crowned. Was it Caleb Johnson who got to sing with Kiss or Jena Irene, who performed with her favorite band Paramore.

After three performances, who is the next American Idol? Jena Irene, the judges wild card choice and Caleb Johnson, the rocker who's tried out three times left their heart and soul on the stage. Caleb made Steven Tyler proud with with Aerosmith's 'Dream On,' while Jena brought chills with Elvis' 'Can't Help Falling in Love.'

Then there were two. But who will be the next American Idol? Before Ryan Seacrest announced the final two, Scotty McCreery returned to the Idol stage to perform 'Feelin' It.'

American Idol celebrated its 500th episode as the Top 3 performed three songs; one chosen by Randy Jackson, one judges pick and their own choice. Caleb Johnson had the moment of the night, despite vocal problems, during his performance of Led Zepplin's 'Dazed & Confuse,' slamming the mic stand, getting a standing ovation from Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban.

Oops she did it again.  Jennifer Lopez dropped the F bomb during Jena Irene's performance of The King's 'Can't Help Falling In Love' on American Idol.

The American Idol Top 5 performed what America asked for. This week, the hopefuls sang songs chosen by the viewers.  Alex Preston and Caleb Johnson had the performances of the night. Alex delivered a tender moment, while Caleb rocked the roof off the place.

The American Idol Top 6 performed twice, choosing a rock tune and a country song. Rocker Caleb Johnson had the moment of the night, recovering after a mic mishap and owning a Carrie Underwood hit. Alex Preston owned the country round with his unique spin on Willie Nelson's 'Always on My Mind.'

Former American Idol David Cook returned to mentor the Top 8 for 80s week, a decade when none of the Idols were even born.  I was really looking forward to this week since 80s music is my all time favorite, but it was a little boring. Dexter Roberts delivered an average performance of 'Keep Your Hands to Yourself.' CJ Harris' 'Free Fallin'' was a bit better.  Thankfully rocker Caleb Johnson saved

Dexter Roberts went to the 'Boondocks,' Caleb Johnson got sexy, Jennifer Lopez dropped the F-bomb and Harry Connick Jr. insulted Keith Urban fans on American Idol. It was a jam packed night of entertainment as the Top 9 were 'In with the Band,' performing band songs on American Idol.

After weeks of lackluster performances, the 'American Idol' Top 11 finally brought their A game for 'Songs of the Cinema' week. Soulful singer CJ Harris became a frontrunner with 'Can't You See.' Country boy Dexter Roberts honored his sweet home of Alabama and rocker Caleb Johnson delivered an amazing, unpredictable performance of Adele's 'Skyfall.'

Country boy Dexter Roberts had one of the best performances of the night as the American Idol Top 12 sang songs that reminded them of home. Roberts put his own spin on Montgomery Gentry's 'Lucky Man,' slowing it down and having Keith Urban calling it the 'perfect song' with 'an incredible moment.'

The top 13 will become the top 12 on 'American Idol.' One will be sent home tonight after performing for 'This is Me' night, choosing a song that defines them as an artist. Several artists defined themselves as country artists, but it was Ben Briley who had the country moment of the night, singing Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues.'
