The country is one step closer to learning the identity of its next "American Idol."
Only 12 contestants remain in the singing competition after the April 27 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-themed episode, where singers had the opportunity to dazzle the judges (and audience) with their own rendition of a track by any one of the nearly 400 Rock Hall inductees.
"Fire and Rain" singer James Taylor, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000, served as the guest mentor for the remaining contestants.
Ryan Seacrest, the longtime "American Idol" emcee, also announced the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees – a group that includes Cyndi Lauper, Outkast and Soundgarden – on last week's episode.
The group of aspiring music stars, including platinum ticket winner Filo Ebid, will continue to fight to make their dreams a reality on "American Idol."

North Hollywood mural lauds Dodgers' Kiké Hernández ‘for standing up for what is right'
Dodgers utility player Kiké Hernández was not born and raised in Los Angeles. A North Hollywood mural seemingly inspired by the San Juan, Puerto Rico, native's stance on immigration sweeps shows that doesn't matter. Hernández began a June 14 Instagram post by stating, 'I may not be Born & Raised, but this city adopted me as one of their own.' Local artist Louie Palsino has cemented the second part of that statement in a new mural on the side of the Noho Tires & Wheels building on the 5600 block of Lankershim Blvd. It features Hernández's image surrounded by the words 'Born X Raised' and 'Los Angeles.' Hernández said plenty more in the post, which seems to have inspired Palsino. The two-time World Series champion expressed support for his adopted city's immigrants and dismay at how many of them were being treated in a series of sweeps by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The sweeps in Los Angeles have sparked protests locally and elsewhere in the country. 'I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city,' Hernández wrote. 'Los Angeles and Dodger fans have welcomed me, supported me and shown me nothing but kindness and love. This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.' Under the name Sloe Motions, Palsino has painted a number of high-profile murals, including one in the Fashion District of Kobe and Gianna Bryant that was vandalized, restored, then vandalized again all within the last few months. He declined to discuss the Hernández mural for this story, instead directing The Times to a statement he posted about it on Instagram last week. 'Thank you @kikehndez for standing up for what is right and for Los Angeles,' Palsino wrote. 'this ain't a political post or anything to stir up any government agenda to divide us. this is just paying homage to standing up for what is right and a real over government.' Palsino painted the Hernández mural on a building that already featured two of his other Dodgers-themed pieces — one of legendary broadcaster Vin Scully on an adjoining wall and one of iconic Mexican pitcher Fernando Valenzuela on the gate in front of the garage's driveway When the gate is pulled open, a split image of Valenzuela and Hernandez is created. Hernández has been a Dodgers fan favorite since his first stint with the team in 2015-2020. In 2017, he hit three home runs, including a grand slam, in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs to help send the Dodgers to the World Series. He signed with the Boston Red Sox as a free agent after the Dodgers' 2020 World Series championship, but returned to L.A. in a July 2023 trade. Hernández hit .262 in 54 games with the Dodgers that season, helping him earn a one-year, $4-million contract for 2024. Last postseason, Hernández was a key member of another Dodgers championship team. He hit one of the Dodgers' two solo home runs in a 2-0 win against the San Diego Padres in the decisive Game 5 of the NL Division Series. He then contributed seven hits and four RBIs in the NLCS against the New York Mets and five hits against the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series.

We're only six months into 2025, but already a number of artists have dropped albums that have topped the charts, sparked discourse and shaped this year's culture as we know it. And with that in mind, it's difficult to choose a favorite. Bad Bunny reasserted his status at the forefront of Latin pop with Debí Tirar Más Fotos, while Lady Gaga made her return to dark dance-pop with the critically acclaimed Mayhem. Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd and Morgan Wallen also reemerged with new products in the first half of the year, dropping Something Beautiful, Hurry Up Tomorrow and I'm the Problem, respectively.

Addison Rae unveiled her first-ever full-length, Addison, while Tate McRae scored her very first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with So Close to What. One soundtrack also made waves in 2025: Sinners, which featured music from the film's leading lady, Hailee Steinfeld, as well as Rhiannon Giddens, Brittany Howard, Buddy Guy and more. But despite the high volume of great releases, Billboard staff still managed to assemble a list of our favorite LPs of the year thus far, from high-profile pop and hip-hop drops to less splashy but equally mighty indie and alt-rock albums. Now, it's your turn — we want to know which of those albums grabbed your ears the most in the past six months.
