Colton Dixon, who sang "Meant to Live" and "Never Gone" during the iHeartRadio Live concert on Aug. 29, recently told THR that the season 11 group's favorite activity on tour is to "find the mall and walk around. Either that or sleep. Sometimes we’ll gang up and catch a movie."
Season 11's Colton Dixon, Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez and Phillips Phillips shared the the stage with Haley Reinhart (season 10) at iHeartRadio's Aug. 29 Idol show in New York.
Season-11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez performed one of her favorite songs, Prince's "How Come You Don't Call Me," and a new one — "Fairytale" — at iHeartRadio's Idol show.

Season 11's Joshua Ledet, a force of nature, got into the groove with "Runaway Baby" and his new song "Broken Man."
Last season, mentor Jimmy Iovine was one of Joshua Ledet's biggest fans — along with judges Steven Taylor and Jennifer Lopez. Still, the soulful Louisiana native came in third behind Jessica Sanchez and eventual winner Phillip Phillips.

"I would have never thought that I would have been on national television and making it to the top three out of 200 thousand people," Joshua Ledet told THR after his season-11 elimination. "It was the greatest experience ever."
If you're a Joshua Ledet fan, and still think he was robbed of the season-11 title, refresh your memory on why he should've won. (Reason No. 1: Like Randy "Broken Record" Jackson said, Ledet could sing the phone book.)
Season 11 champ Phillip Phillips sang "Volcano" and his hit song "Home," which he performed mid-cry after winning American Idol.
