American Idol 5/4/11 Top 5 Now and Then Songs Recap

American Idol Fan — Thu, 05 May 2011 01:29:02 +0000

This is American Idol! the Idol Finale is just three weeks away! Here come the Top 5 contestants looking hot! Ryan and Randy agree that tonight of all nights is a very important night, as America wants to know Who is in it to win it?! The finalists need to step it up (A LOT) if they hope to win votes and even come close to winning this thing.

Sheryl Crow mentors the contestants for the performances tonight with Jimmy. The Top 5 Idols will each sing two songs tonight, one from the 60′s and the other from the 70′s, so get ready for the phone numbers, unless you’re planning to vote online.

James Durbin‘s first song tonight is “Closer To The Edge” by 30 Seconds to Mars. 1-866-436-5701 or 1-866-436-5706. Steven Tyler says James “kicked that song’s ass!”. Jennifer says America is feeling it, the win is his to take. Randy says this performance shows that James is in it to win it!

Jacob Lusk is up next. He tells Ryan he believes he can win at the finale. Jacob chooses to sing “No Air” by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. 1-866-436-5702 or 1-866-436-5707. Jennifer has struggled with what kind of songs Jacob would choose to sing on his album if he wins, and she encourages him to focus his song choices on who he is as an artist. Randy disagrees, saying he’s one of the greatest singers on Idol. Randy feels there were parts that were “sharp” and choosing a duet-type song didn’t really wear well, for him. Steven says he’s waiting for Jacob to find his niche, that “certain something that’s 100%” Jacob.

Lauren Alaina sings “Flat On The Floor” by Carrie Underwood. 1-866-436-5703 or 1-866-436-5708. Lauren looks hot tonight and she finally let loose!!! Randy Jackson says “that is the direction for you!” Randy thought it was amazing; Lauren is in it to win it!” Steven loved it and Jennifer says Lauren “ate that up” and the judges are looking to see who is going to rise to the top and that’s how you do it!

Scotty McCreery sings “Gone” by Montgomery Gentry. 1-866-436-5704 or 1-866-436-5709. Steven Tyler says Scotty showed a whole other side of himself tonight and he loved it. Jennifer says she heard some growling in the performance and she loved it. Randy says he felt like they were all sitting at a Scotty concert, and Scotty’s in it to win it too!

Haley Reinhart sings an unreleased Lady GaGa song called “You And I”. 1-866-436-5705 or 1-866-436-5710. Maybe Haley’s time for a “moment” tonight suggests Sheryl Crow. Jennifer hesitantly says Haley sounded good towards the end, but she disagrees with Jimmy’s advice to perform that particular song (that everybody knows) and showcases Haley best. Randy agrees, saying the song choice was risky and choosing a song no one is familiar with may not be the best idea. Steven says she chose a risky thing to do and she performs very well and is “just one perfect song away from being the American Idol”.

James Durbin sings his second song for the night, “I Can’t Live (If Living is Without You)” and it’s a very emotional song choice for him. Tears in his eyes as he finishes his song. Wow. 1-866-436-5701 or 1-866-436-5706. Randy says this is the mark of a truly great performer, it was emotionally perfect. Pitchy in some areas but incredible performance. Steven agrees wholeheartedly. Jennifer applauds the heart James shows in his performances – “he’s amazing you guys, amazing”. James tells Ryan that every single week he leaves everything out on the stage, everything.

Jacob Lusk sings “Love Hurts” as his second song tonight. 1-866-436-5702 or 1-866-436-5707. Steven Tyler says he got lost in the song but everybody got lost in Jacob with that performance. Jennifer says Jacob really brought it home in the end and it was really good. Randy says Jacob redeemed himself tonight with that performance, and perhaps the highest note reached on the Idol stage yet.

Lauren Alaina‘s second song is “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers. 1-866-436-5703 or 1-866-436-5708. Not only does Lauren look amazing tonight but wow that was a great performance! Jennifer agrees, and she has nothing else to say. “It was beautiful”. Randy is very happy to see this tender side of Lauren tonight. Steven says it was perfect and there’s nothing to judge with that song choice and performance. Good job!

Scotty McCreery sings “Always On My Mind” by Elvis for his second song. 1-866-436-5704 or 1-866-436-5709. Jimmy advises Scotty not to try to compete with the other Idols and just be himself. Jennifer says he showed us he’s a very versatile performer, going from the first song to this one, that he’s a true performer. Randy says “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Randy says when Scotty does the simplest things (tender, slow songs), the audience eats it up and he loved the performance. Steven says America loves Scotty’s voice and America is going to have a hard time choosing who to vote for tonight.

Haley Reinhart closes the show tonight with her second song “The House Of The Rising Sun” by The Animals. 1-866-436-5705 or 1-866-436-5710. The judges give Haley a standing ovation! Randy says The Best Performance of the Night goes to Haley! Randy says she’s blossomed so much, it was sooo good! Steven says he feels she sold everybody tonight with that performance. Jennifer says that song has never been sang like that before; great job! Very good performance by Haley tonight!

See ya tomorrow night with the results show and the announcement of Who got voted off American Idol. We’re getting so close to the finale! Make your predictions of who will be safe and who will get the boot in the comments below. Who is your favorite?

American Idol Season 10 Schedule Air Dates Move to Wednesday and Thursday

American Idol Fan — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 16:01:57 +0000

American Idol Season 10 doesn’t start until January 2011 but FOX and AI’s Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe have been very busy making big changes to the show in apparent hopes to revive the popularity and ratings of American Idol. Season 9 wasn’t very memorable in many people’s views, including mine. Simon Cowell ran off into the sunset to do X Factor, Kara DioGuardi got the boot, Paula Abdul has been gone awhile, leaving sole original judge Randy Jackson to carry on.

Yeah, we’ve got the new judges team of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler on board. Yawn. Nigel Lythgoe announced recently that the Top 24 contestants is no more, but American Idol contestants will move right on to the Top 12 after Hollywood. AI is keeping the theme weeks, but the challenges contestants will face with the new season have increased.

According to TVGuide.com, there will be “contests to make the best music video, to promote themselves, and to work with a band and dancers for an awards show-style performance.” Whether or not American Idol will return to the early glory days of high ratings remains to be seen, but some industry observers are expecting ratings to decline from last year after the initial curiosity seekers get their fill. (LATimes)

American Idol fans have been anxious for new cd releases from their favorite AI contestants, and they’re needs have been met by new cd’s released from Season 9 winner Kris Allen, Adam “Glambert” Lambert, Crystal Bowersox, David Cook, Allison Iraheta, Lee DeWyze, Danny Gokey, Jordin Sparks, Chris Daughtry and even Tim Urban.

Previous American Idol contestants Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson cd and complete album downloads are on the top of many people’s to-do list this holiday season. Let’s also not forget to consider the popular who got kicked off American Idol boot song Leave Right Now by Will Young, played at the end of the show each time a contestant gets voted off, my personal favorite boot song to date.

Carrie Underwood Cowboy Casanova Lyrics:

You better take it from me, that boy is like a disease
You’re running, you’re trying, you’re trying to hide
And you’re wondering why you can’t get free
He’s like a curse, he’s like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he’s holding you down
‘Cause you can’t live without one more touch

[Chorus]
He’s a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he’s candy-coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t want to fight
You better run for your life

I see that look on your face
You ain’t hearing what I say
So I’ll say it again
‘Cause I know where you been
And I know how it ends
You can’t get away
Don’t even look in his eyes
He’ll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won’t be deceived
If you listen to me
And take my advice

(Chorus)

Run run away
Don’t let him mess with your mind
He’ll tell you anything you want to hear
He’ll break your heart
It’s just a matter of time
But just remember

(Chorus)

Oh you better run for your life.

So, now that you’ve heard Carrie Underwood sing “Cowboy Casanova”, what do you think of the new song? Do you like it? Will you buy Carrie Underwood’s new album “Play On”?

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert walk down the stairs onto the stage. Audience going wild. Both are “nervous and excited”. Clips of LIVE broadcasts in San Diego (hosted by Carly Smithson) and Arkansas (hosted by Michaela Gordon) of fans waiting to hear who wins the American Idol crown tonight.

The Top 13 are singing “So What” by Pink. All the contestants are wearing white outfits, looking good. Group performances usually suck, and this is one isn’t much different. Pitchy in places, and finally over. Whew. VIDEO

David Cook is singing “Permanent“, the tribute song to his brother Adam who died recently from brain cancer. 100% of proceeds go to David’s charity “ABC Square”.

Kris Allen and Keith Urban duet “Kiss A Girl” performance. Kris and Keith are playing guitar, uptempo, sounding really good. VIDEO

The Top 13 Idol girls start singing “Glamorous” by Fergie, then bring Fergie out to sing “Big Girls Don’t Cry”. Megan Joy and Jasmine Murray sucked big time!

The Black Eyed Peas are singing “Boom Boom Pow” with lots of censoring. Idol cuts out momentarily to show just the show logo and cuts off the sound during the ahem… questionable lyrics. VIDEO

More freak awards. It’s Katrina the “Bikini Girl”. She’s singing too, or at least trying to, wearing a bikini of course. Kara DioGuardi helps her on stage with the singing, and opens her black dress to reveal a black bikini!!! OMG!

Danny Gokey sings “Hello” and then the duet medley performance with Lionel Richie of some of Lionel’s hits. Very good performance. VIDEO

The “Journey of Adam Lambert” on American Idol clips.

Adam Lambert sings “Beth” then the duet performance rocking with KISS singing “Rock-n-Roll All Night”. The Nokia Theatre Idol House is Rockin Tonight! Adam’s wearing a weird outfit with wings, and KISS (and Adam) are wearing those hideously high heeled platform shoes KISS is known for. Too funny. Awesome duet performance! VIDEO

Carlos Santana, playing guitar to “Black Magic Woman” and “Smooth” with the Top 13 Idol performers. Santana is simply spectacular! VIDEO

Final Ford Video “I Will Remember You” with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. David Cook surprises Kris Allen and Adam Lambert with keys to a brand new Ford Fusion. VIDEO

Steve Martin playing banjo as Michael Sarver and Megan Joy destroy their duet song performance “Pretty Flowers” written by Steve Martin. Michael and Megan both sounded out of breath throughout the entire song, pitchy all over the place. Just BAD. VIDEO

The Top Idol guys sing Rod Stewart’s “If You Think I’m Sexy”. Rod Stewart takes the stage to sing “Maggie“. Rod is an icon, but he doesn’t sound good tonight, verrrry verrrry pitchy. How old is Rod Stewart anyway? I love ya Rod, but yikes……not a good performance. VIDEO

Oh Lord, one more Golden Award for the Idol wannabe’s. Ouch. Tatiana Del Toro wins and runs onto the stage to get her award, and starts singing while Ryan says “we have to take a break” and runs around the stage to avoid “security”. Planned….

Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are singing “We Are The Champions” with Queen! Surprise Guest Performance is QUEEN!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! AWESOME PERFORMANCE!!! Definitely worth downloading on iTunes after the show! AWESOME!!! Great harmony! VIDEO

THIS IS IT!!! The American Idol Finale 2009 Results Are In from last night’s performance. Lights are dimmed and here we go….

American Idol May 19, 2009 Top 2 Finale-Adam Lambert Kris Allen Face Off For The Win

American Idol Fan — Sun, 17 May 2009 23:43:30 +0000

UPDATE: Watch our LIVE American Idol Finale Adam Lambert vs Kris Allen Finale Showdown! The American Idol Finale on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 will be a real nail-biter, full of suspense to find out who will be the winner of American Idol 2009 Season 8. On Tuesday, May 19, 2009, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen will do their best to win your votes and become the crowned king of Season 8 on American Idol. Who will win American Idol Season 8 is anyone’s guess, but whoever wins the American Idol crown will have won due to having more votes than the other.

The official list of songs (spoilers) to be sung by Adam Lambert and Kris Allen haven’t been released, and typical American Idol Spoilers are often wrong until right after the American Idol Rehearsals are held and confirmed.

We do know that the American Idol Season 8 Finale will have three songs performed by the Top 2 Finalists, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Kris Allen won the coin toss and chose to have Adam Lambert sing first during the final show, instead of the typical “pimp spot” Adam’s been used to. Kris Allen will sing last and close the show on Tuesday night.

UPDATE 1: Adam Lambert is going to sing Change Is Gonna Come and Adam’s Personal Song Choice is Mad World “with a little twist”. Kris Allen is seriously considering “Falling Slowly” (or “Heartless”, but leaning more towards Falling Slowly). But then again, maybe not! Newest spoiler rumors are that Kris Allen was NOT rehearsing either Falling Slowly nor Heartless! See what I mean about “spoilers”?

UPDATE 2: Kris Allen will sing “What’s Goin On” (by Marvin Gaye) “Ain’t No Sunshine” tonight on American Idol!

UPDATE 3: Steve Martin will be breaking out his banjo to perform a tune from his album of banjo music, according to ET Online. OMG!

UPDATE 4: ROD STEWART will be performing on tomorrow night’s American Idol Finale!!!

Round 1 – The Contestant’s Favorite – Favorite song of the season, according to Idol host Ryan Seacrest
Round 2 – Simon Fuller’s Pick – Previously chosen by Clive Davis last year
Round 3 – The Winner’s Single Coronation Song – Only one winner/coronation song called “No Boundaries” will be performed this year, apparently co-written by Idol Judge Kara DioGuardi

Next week’s finale at Nokia Theatre will include a lineup of talent including performances by past American Idol winners Carrie Underwood (Season 4) and David Cook (Season 7). Lionel Richie, Carlos Santana, Cyndi Lauper, Queen Latifah, Jason Mraz, Black Eyed Peas and Keith Urban are also among the artists scheduled to perform on Wednesday’s Finale before either Kris Allen or Adam Lambert is crowned the Season 8 winner.

Idol producers are trying to get as many Idol winners back for the Finale as humanly possible. Keith Urban will perform a duet with Kris Allen – Cyndi Lauper performs a duet with Allison Iraheta. Rumors across the net claim that Idol producers are trying to get David Bowie to sing a duet with Adam Lambert. Danny Gokey will duet with Lionel Richie and Santana will perform with all of the Idol contestants in attendance. Rumors are that Britney Spears will perform on American Idol but Perez Hilton says No she won’t.

UPDATE: Bad news: The David Bowie/Adam Lambert duet fell through. Darn it! That would have been very cool! Theres like a 5% chance it will happen so they are still working on someone to perform with Adam at the finale.

The American Idol 2009 Finale showdown can’t come soon enough for Idol fans, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen fans. Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote and Vote some more! There are 4 hours of voting time available for your votes! Who will win American Idol 2009? What songs should Adam Lambert and Kris Allen choose to repeat on Tuesday night as their contestant’s favorite?

Carrie Underwood Dress- Carrie Underwood ACM Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year

American Idol Fan — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:14:00 +0000

During last night’s 44th ACM Country Music Awards, past American Idol Carrie Underwood won the Entertainer of the Year Award from the Academy of Country Music. Carrie Underwood became the first woman to win the prestigious ACM Entertainer of the Year Award since the Dixie Chicks won in 2000, and the ACM award has only been won 6 times by a woman prior to Underwood’s win.

The ACM Awards ceremony took place April 5, 2009 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with country music star and legend Reba McEntire serving as host. Carrie Underwood’s burgundy wine colored dress, the Lava Dress, has people talking, which was obviously done on purpose to ignite interest and gossip about what Carrie Underwood was wearing. Reba McEntire even joked that she had had planned on wearing that same dress.

Underwood’s dress was kept a secret from the public, with no video, photos or discussions about the dress allowed before the LIVE performance. “The dress that I’ll be wearing during my performance is … It’s big,” Carrie said. “There’s a lot — a lot of dress.”

The Associated Press wrote that Underwood’s dress was treated as if it “were a matter of national security,” adding that reporters had to promise “no photos, no video and no describing the gown” in order to gain access to rehearsal performances.

Underwood’s dress is a Rafael Cennamo merlot silk taffeta gown with an extremely long and dramatic ruffled train that took up a lot of space on the stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena as she sang “I Told You Ss”, but Carrie Underwood could wear a potato sack and no makeup and still look stunning and ravishingly beautiful.

Before the LIVE ACM Awards show, Carrie Underwood hinted about her burgundy red dress by saying her lava dress is “Kind of like water, maybe? Like red water? That sounds scary, doesn’t it? Maybe like lava. It’s like lava. Or icing. Red icing.”

Upon winning the Entertainer of the Year Award, Underwood was nearly speechless about winning the award by saying, “I’ve had a lot of good moments in the last four years. This one takes the cake!” “I don’t know what to say! I got nothing.”

The Country Music Awards 2009 show was a big night for former Idol contestant, Carrie Underwood, as she also won the ACM Top Female Vocalist award. Current American Idol contestants, as well as former Idol winners, should continue to work very hard on their singing and performances, because you just never know…you may one day win the Top Female or Male Vocalist of the Year Award too.

I Told You So Lyrics:

Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And Im tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you’re all I ever wanted
And it’s killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say…

Chorus
I told you so, Oh I told you so
I told you some day you would come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I’ve found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again

Verse 2
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you’ve missed me too
And that you’ve been so lonely
And you’ve waited for the day that I returned
And we’d live and love forever
And that I’m your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned

would you say…

Chorus
