Siobhan Magnus

Season 9 had some surprises, mostly with Siobhan Magnus' questionable wardrobe.

Country Week's elimination show on American Idol had a surprising twist and Idols sing the hits of an American music legend, Frank Sinatra.

Why was Siobhan Magnus -- one of the competition's early front-runners -- voted off American Idol prematurely? Did Simon and Kara play a role in the Cape Cod glassblower's surprisingly early ouster?

It wasn't an unexpected elimination, not entirely, and not if you watched her performance on Tuesday evening, but things do not usually work in the worst-performance-gets-you-eliminated vein on American Idol. But Siobhan Magnus had never been...

The American Idol results show was a Shania Twain - less affair, the Top 6 contestants awaiting their fate while listening to live performances by Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, Sons of Sylvia, and Shakira with Rascal Flatts. American Idol...

A look at Wednesday night's elimination round of "American Idol" on Fox.

Another American Idol shocker took place on Wednesday night. One of the stronger performers went home!

American Idol Season 9 Top 5 has been revealed, and only one woman, Crystal "Momma Sox" Bowersox, is left standing to compete with mostly consistently strong vote-getting gentlemen.

Elimination night April 21 2010. Who is voted off. In the bottom three were Casey James, Siobhan Magnus, & Michael Lynche. The others are safe. This week's mentor was Shania Twain. Country performers: Shakira, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, etc.

The Top 6 performed on American Idol and the theme was Country Week with the songs coming from mentor Shania Twain's songbook. Siobhan Magnus took the stage last tonight and finished off a strong night with "Any Man of Mine."

Siobhan Magnus performed 'Any Man Of Mine' on American Idol April 27th.

Siobhan collected herself together after the judges had their say, and, somewhat teary eyed, told them how she felt she was one - a miracle - for just being an American Idol contender.

The Top 7 performed on American Idol and the theme was inspirational songs with mentor Alicia Keys. Siobhan Magnus took the stage wearing ribbons and butterflies and lit up the night with the Mariah Carey-Whitney Houston hit "When You Believe."

Siobhan Magnus performed the very tough 'When You Believe' on American Idol Tuesday.

On American Idol's theme for the April 20th, 2010 show was "Songs of Inspiration". Siobhan Magnus chose to sing "When You Believe" by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.

Siobhan Magnus performed "Across the Universe" on the April 6th American Idol show.

The Top 9 performed Tuesday on American Idol and selected songs from the legendary songbook of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Siobhan Magnus hit the stage with her take on the 1969 Beatles song "Across the Universe."

A lot has been made of Siobhan Magnus being compared to Adam Lambert by her supporters or Danny Gokey by her detractors. The truth of the matter is that she is neither and that is a good thing because it makes her unique.

The American Idol top 12 dipped into the Rolling Stones songbook Tuesday night and met with varying degrees of success. Siobhan Magnus' version of "Paint it Black" was the undisputed standout performance of the night.

Siobhan Magnus is slowly gaining momentum on American Idol. Is she the next champ?

Top 12 sing. Siobhan Magnus, with bases loaded, hit the ball out of the ballpark big time. Katie Stevens, Paige Miles, & Crystal Bowersox trailed her around the bases. Of the guys, Aaron Kelly was best. Big Mike Lynche was 'corny'. Time Urban was bravest.

Last week Siobhan Magnus really, really let loose and belted an Aretha Franklin song out with perfection. Is she the best singer on American Idol 9?

On Wednesday night, the top 10 girls of American Idol got another chance to prove to America why they were selected over thousands of other hopefuls. Two of them proved their case beyond a shadow of a doubt: Crystal Bowersox and Siobhan Magnus.

Last night, the American Idol Top 10 Girls performed Billboard Hits. While we saw a mix of terrific and horrific performances, Crystal Bowersox and Siobhan Magnus opened and closed the show on a high note.

Happiness is what describes my feelings on Siobhan Magnus being sent home!

Siobhan Magnus left a mark on the Idol stage and will be greatly missed. Where does she go from here?
