Wondering where to watch the American Idol 2013 Top 9 performances show? Are you one of those crazy people without a television or you have too much on your plate to catch it at its normal time?

 

Did you find your normal American Idol night completely devoid of the sob stories, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey feuding, and all those awe-inspiring performances we’ve come to know and love? Well, we're not about to let you miss one minute of American Idol 2013 action. That's why we've compiled a list of places you can watch American Idol online.

First, book it to the American Idol official website. FOX has filled their video vaults with previews, recaps, never-before-seen footage, and clips of their most memorable performances. Watch these vids on your computer and it’s almost like watching an entire episode — without the obnoxious Ford car commercials.

If that won’t suffice, we suggest heading over to YouTube. Die-hard AI fans like ZIGART1048 upload the episodes in pieces as they happen on their personal Youtube accounts. These often get taken down quickly though! You can, of course, watch all the official performance videos on the American Idol YouTube page, but they take forever to upload them! We would point out a live streaming site for you, but frankly we do NOT recommend them because the links are full of pop-up spam and potential viruses -- scary!
