Aaron Kelly Ain’t No Sunshine American Idol Top 10 March 30

Aaron Kelly is quite comfortable doing an R&B song and he's choosing "Ain't No Sunshine". I think the song is too overused in American Idol but Aaron smoothly gets through it.

Randy is not jumping up and down with Aaron's performance but he liked it. Same for Kara and Ellen. Simon compared him to a cupcake up with those with bigger performances for the night. Watch Aaron Kelly Aint No Sunshine American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Crystal Bowersox Midnight Train to Georgia American Idol Top 10 March 30

There's something new about Crystal Bowersox this R&B week. She's doing the classic Gladys Knight song "Midnight Train to Georgia". Crystal is wearing a stiletto and playing the piano. It's the same old Crystal Bowersox on stage - nailing the song and keeping the audience in awe of her amazing voice.

Randy loved her version of the song. Ellen says she's showing another side of her. Kara is glad to see her take risks. Simon observed that she's overthinking the piano - he would not want to change her. Watch Crystal Bowersox Midnight Train to Georgia American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Lee Dewyze Treat Her Like A Lady American Idol Top 10 March 30

Lee Dewyze wants to show his R&B side with "Treat Her Like a Lady". As usual, Lee Dewyze delivers an impressive number, although you still can see his doubts in his face when he's on stage. But who cares? Lee Dewyze is bound to make it big.

Randy thinks it was "the bomb" and Ellen says it was an "amazing" performance. Kara says it was amazing. Simon reminds him that this was the night he's going to remember for the rest of his life. Watch Lee Dewyze Treat Her Like A Lady American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Katie Stevens Chain of Fools American Idol Top 10 March 30

Katie Stevens is doing Cha-Cha-Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin. Actually, Katie says she met Usher before. I like Katie's performance but she's kind of off-key at times for taking on a major diva song.

Randy Jackson compared her to a young Christina. Ellen wanted to make the song a little current. Kara says Katie Stevens that she found her music niche. Simon thought Katie was robotic during the performance. He also disagreed that Katie is the "next Christina Aguilera". Watch Katie Stevens Chain of Fools American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Andrew Garcia Forever American Idol Top 10 March 30

Andrew Garcia is showing us his version of Forever by Chris Brown. In the practice session, Usher sees that Andrew is nervous. Watching Andrew Garcia on stage doing a complete remake of a Chris Brown song, I think there's a good vibe in the song which will put him out of danger of going home this week.

Randy Jackson exclaimed that Andrew Garcia is back and this is his best performance in a long time. Ellen Degeneres thinks it was good. Kara says it was a one giant leap. Simon tells him is he is miles,miles better. As a person, Simon says that Andrew is boring as a person. He advices him to start having a personality. Watch Andrew Garcia Forever American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance video:

Tim Urban Sweet Love American Idol Top 10 March 30

After a total diss from the judges last week, Tim Urban is singing "Sweet Love" by Anita Baker. For veteran R&B singer Usher, he saw that Tim's problem is connecting with the song. The song was okay and mostly in tune – so no disasters – he will stay for another week.

Randy Jackson is looking for some vibe and some swagger to the song - it sounded too pedestrian. Ellen always thinks he's adorable. Kara Dioguardi took out the soul of the song. Simon thinks it makes no sense what the judges say. Smiling would make him stay for another week. Watch Tim Urban Sweet Love American Idol Top 10 March 30:

Didi Benami What Becomes of the Broken Hearted American Idol Top 10 March 30

Didi Benami is performing "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" by Jimmy Ruffin. With Usher, Didi Benami was moved into tears because she got too emotional. The performance was as forgettable, but I can see her effort struggling through the R&B night because she's not that type of singer.

Randy didn't observe any good "moment" while she's singing - it was all flat line. Ellen did not like it either - she says its "way too dramatic". Kara is also now confused about what Didi now as artist. Simon thinks the performance is so over-the-top and Didi has lost her way. Watch Didi Benami What Becomes of the Broken Hearted American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Michael Lynche Ready For Love American Idol March 30

It's definitely Michael Lynche's night in American Idol Top 10 R&B Soul Night. He's singing Ready for Love by India Arie. Usher, being the mentor, is happy to see Mike's engaging performance.

Randy Jackson tells him that it's not very exciting but Ellen thought it was beautiful. Kara thinks he mastered singing from the heart for the audience to see his true intentions - it was lovely and it's her favorite performance for the night. Randy sees him as an oringinal artist - the performance was terrific. Watch out for Michael Lynche Ready For Love American Idol March 30 performance:

Casey James Hold On I'm Coming American Idol Top 10 March 30

Casey James tried to impress Usher with “Hold On I’m Coming” by Sam and Dave. And Usher had no qualms about it saying that this long-haired American Idol Top 10 finalist is "a rockstar".

Randy Jackson thinks Casey James is in his element - it was a hot night for him. Ellen Degeneres thought "it was generic" and wants to see more from him. Kara agreed that Casey James should increase his range. Simon surprisingly liked his performance and though he sound authentic. Simon is "really,really impressed". Here's Casey James Hold On I'm Coming American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance video:

Siobhan Magnus Through the Fire American Idol Top 10 March 30

Siobhan Magnus performs "Through The Fire" by Chaka Khan. It's R&B night in American Idol 2010. Usher is tonight's mentor. For the first contestant going on stage, Usher asked Siobhan what's she wearing so that he can give her styling tips.

Although I think the performance was satisfactory, the judges thought otherwise. Randy, Ellen and Kara thought that it's not Siobhan's best perfomance. Simon said the it was "all over the place". Watch Siobhan Magnus Through the Fire American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance video:

Paige Miles is Voted Off American Idol March 24

Paige Miles is kicked off American Idol Top 11 Results Show March 24. Paige Miles, 24, from Naples Florida performed Against All Odds by Phil Collins. Together with her in the Bottom 3 were Tim Urban and Katie Stevens.

American Idol Top 11: Who Are in the Bottom 3 List March 24?

After the American Idol Top 11 performances in the Billboard #1 Night, the possible contestants who will be in the Bottom 3 list today are not difficult to predict. The most notable performances last night were Crystal Bowersox Bobby Mcgee, Siobhan Magnus Superstition and Katie Stevens Big Girls Don't Cry. I also personally liked Aaron Kelly I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing and Didi Benami You're No Good.

American Idol Results Show March 24 - Who is Going Home Live Blog

When there are good performances, the bad ones are not far behind. Paige Miles Against All Odds and Tim Urban Crazy Little Thing Called Love were cringe-worthy for the judges. Andrew Garcia is going and going gone if he doesn't come up with an amazing performance. All three of them are sure-fire shoo-ins for the American Idol Top 11 Bottom Three. However, Dial Idol is telling us that Lee Dewyze might be in the list tonight, which is kind of sad because he's got a lot of potential. So for me, my prediction is that the one who'll go home is a toss between Paige Miles or Tim Urban. If Tim Urban survives, he may have to take his shirt off while performing to gather enough votes to stay in the competition. Ha!

Siobhan Magnus Superstition American Idol Top 11 March 23

Siobhan Magnus closes the show with "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder. Miley observed that Siobhan has a nice "swagger" in voice. Siobhan is letting out high notes effortlessly. She's like a chameleon and changing her looks. Quite the edgy one this season!

Randy Jackson says he is always excited to see her - so much conviction in her. Ellen wants more of her because she's so good. Kara says that Siobhan Magnus expresses herself always - the end note was amazing. Simon thinks that there will be a split at the end. Simon wants to push herself. Watch Siobhan Magnus Superstition American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Didi Benami You're No Good American Idol Top 11 March 23

Didi Benami jazzes up the stage with "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstandt. It seems Didi is taking a risk taking on with a slightly jazzy song choice. It was kind of pitchy and not her best.

Randy got to observe the pitch problems. Ellen did not get the song choices. Kara agreed that she's someone else tonight. Simon thinks she sounded she is someone else and sucked the "light" out of her. Watch Didi Benami You're No Good American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Casey James Power of Love American Idol Top 11 March 23

Casey James is rocking the Billboard #1 Night with his "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News. He revealed he was a fan of Miley's dad. The performance was quite boring but he looked good as always.

Randy and Ellen were not a fan of the song choice. Kara thinks he is in the "zone" now - ready to become a recording artist. Simon Cowell thinks there was no originality and it was old-fashioned. Watch Casey James Power of Love American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Katie Stevens Big Girls Don't Cry American Idol Top 11 March 23

Katie Stevens is belting out "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie. Katie sought advice from Miley Cyrus on dealing with people's expectations. Katie seems to fit the song - it was young and upbeat.

Randy Jackson and Ellen DeGeneres praised that it was her best performance yet. Kara thinks this should be her path - pop and young. Simon Cowell thinks her meeting Miley Cyrus was the best thing that happened. Watch Katie Stevens Big Girls Don't Cry American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Andrew Garcia I Heard It Through the Grapevine American Idol March 23

Andrew Garcia will impress us with "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye. Miley Cyrus suggested to him to lose the guitar.

Randy and Ellen did not like the song choice - finds him teetering in the competition. Kara Dioguardi thinks that Andrew is confused. Simon decided that they "overrated" his "Straight Up" performances. It was a ruined choice and made the song sound corny. Watch Andrew Garcia I Heard It Through the Grapevine American Idol March 23 performance:

Mike Lynche When a Man Loves a Woman American Idol Top 11 March 23

Michael Lynche is bringing us "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Michael Bolton. Miley is totally in love with Big Mike's rendition of the song. It was nicely done with wonderful falsettos.

Randy Jackson thought what was wonderful about is that he knows who he is. Ellen complimented the song choice and Ellen thinks "this woman loves you". Kara admitted she lost connection with him - it was kind of "boring". Simon thought he has tons of charisma but he made the song irritatingly "loungy". Watch Mike Lynche When a Man Loves a Woman American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Crystal Bowersox Bobby McGee American Idol Top 11 March 23

Crystal Bowersox is singing her version of "Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin. Miley praised her vocals. The song was a perfect fit for Crystal. She's showing that she's a frontrunner in this competition.

Randy exclaimed that's its "the way to be a star". Ellen found nothing wrong about that performance but wants more personality and connection to the audience. Kara felt that she did more and wanted to see her put down the guitar for once - "to let go completely". Simon wants her to change nothing - she nailed the song. Watch Crystal Bowersox Bobby McGee American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Aaron Kelly I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing American Idol Top 11 March 23

Woohoo! Aaron Kelly reveals he has a little crush with Miley Cyrus. He will be sing Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing". Aaron was quite good in that though the judges might think

Randy Jackson thought there were little pitch problems but he was better than the two who previously performed. Ellen liked Aaron Kelly's song choice. Kara said that it was the best song choice for the night. Simon Cowell thought it was very brave and for his age that Aaron's song choice was old-fashioned. Watch Aaron Kelly I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Tim Urban Crazy Little Thing Called Love American Idol Top 11 March 23

Tim Urban is singing "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen. Miley voiced out that Tim's weakness is that he is seen boring. But it seems this performance is bringing on the audience like a heartthrob.

Randy Jackson thought the song choice was boring and it was like karaoke. Ellen felt that it was an audition for a high school musical. Kara thought Tim acted as if he was a "big star". Simon is not actually taking part in the competition and has no chance in this competition: "Two weeks of silly, silly song choices". Watch Tim Urban Crazy Little Thing Called Love American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Paige Miles Against All Odds American Idol Top 11 March 23

It's Paige Miles with Miley Cyrus. Paige will be singing "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" by Phil Collins. Watching Paige, Miley observed some pitch problems with her performance. In the actual performance, the pitch problems are quite obvious. She's in the Bottom 3 last week and probably she will be in that list tomorrow with this problematic performance.

Randy Jackson agreed that the performance was "terrible". Ellen complemented her looks and what she wore. Kara thought that it was the worst vocal of the season. Paige admitted that the pitch was all over the place. Simon thought that there were 5 people singing the song badly. Watch Paige Miles Against All Odds American Idol Top 11 March 23 performance:

Finally, we get to see Lee Dewyze without a guitar and wearing a leather jacket. He sang "The Letter" by Box Tops.

Randy Jackson said that Lee knocked it out of the box. Ellen likened Lee to a favorite pen - she says "my favorite pen is back". Kara said the Lee improved and the "progress is tremendous". Simon Cowell thinks the performance as corny. Watch Lee Dewyze "The Letter" performance video March 23:

Lacey Brown Voted Off American Idol 2010 Top 12

Lacey Brown from Amarillo Texas was voted off American Idol Top 12 tonight March 17 2010. Along with Lacey in the Bottom 3 tonight were Tim Urban and Paige Miles. Although the judges had the power to save her, they decided to pass. Lacey sang "Love Story" to convince the judges to save her.

The American Idol Top 12 showed what they got singing Rolling Stones songs. It was apparent that both the guys and the girls stepped up their game last night. Most notable performances were Siobhan Magnus Paint It Black, Crystal Bowersox You Can't Always Get What You Want and Lee Dewyze “Beast of Burden”.

American Idol Top 12 Results March 17 2010 Live Blog here.

Crystal Bowersox You Can’t Always Get What You Want American Idol Top 12 March 16

Crystal Bowersox definitely deserves that pimp spot tonight in the American Idol Top 12 March 16. Crystal sang "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Yes, that Glee song you heard in their finale episode.

However, Randy felt that it wasn't her best performance but he loved it anyway. Ellen Degeneres says that she's now seeing her personality now. Kara said that tonight she saw that Crystal is now comfortable on stage. Simon Cowell came out tonight as the 100 percent the favorite. He thought that Crystal was clearly beaten by Siobhan Magnus. See Crystal Bowersox "You Can't Always Get What You Want" March 16 performance:

Siobhan Magnus "Paint It Black" American Idol Top 12 March 16

Siobhan Magnus was a blast with "Paint It Black". I think it was the best performance of the night where almost all of them bored my brains out. It was a good risk but it brought out the best in her.

Of course, the judges were ecstatic to hear that over-the-top performance. Randy thought she brought the drama back into the competition. Ellen loved the way she looked and the Siobhan Magnus sounded her best. Kara was reminded of Adam Lambert last year - with the drama and stairs. Simon Cowell agreed to all them and wanted to hear some more screaming in her next performances. Watch Siobhan Magnus "Paint It Black" American Idol Top 12 March 16 performance:

Tim Urban "Under My Thumb" American Idol Top 12 March 16

Tim Urban is slowly shedding his image as an American Idol contestant with a cute body and face. I quite liked his performance of "Under My Thumb" with a reggae flavor.

Randy Jackson and Ellen Degeneres did not like his performance. Kara Dioguardi liked the song and how Tim Urban made the song his own. Simon Cowell was not pleased because the Rolling Stones fans might just want to turn off their TV sets hearing him. Watch Tim Urban's performance of Under My Thumb in American Idol Top 12:

Casey James "It's Over Now" American Idol Top 12 March 16

Casey James sang "It's Over Now". In his interview, Casey revealed that he grew up in a single parent home.Though he looks healthy now, Casey was a sickly child for the longest time. Music runs in their family and Casey James started early to sing. During his American Idol Top12 March 16 performance, Casey James showcased his raspy voice but he was a little stiff on stage though.

Randy Jackson praised his performance exclaiming that he was back - "the Casey that I love". Kara thought that he was a "rock star" who got the blues and soul. On the contrary, Simon Cowell stated that it was like an audition performance. He advised Casey James to push himself of not just another guy in the middle of the stage. Watch Case James performance video "It's Over Now" American Idol March 16:

Didi Benami "Playing With Fire" American Idol Top 12 March 16

Didi Benami is quite confident that she will do well in Rolling Stones night. However, her mom usually is nervous viewing her get carry out her song choices. Singing "Playing With Fire", Didi Benami didn't bring her guitar with her. The rhythm of her song is quite skewed unfavorably, though she ended fine.

Obviously, Didi Benami looks upset with her performance in the American Idol Top 12. Inexplicably, Randy liked her performance by saying it's one of the greatest performances of the night. Ellen noticed that she lost her way but found her way back inside the song. Kara liked how Didi push on her vocals and liked her "intensity". Simon claims that she is beginning to demonstrate us the type of artist she will become. He thought Didi had been going to drop it. Which is what nerves will do to her. Solid, but not a brilliant performance. Watch Didi Benami's performance video of "Playing With Fire" in American Idol Top 12 night:

Michael Lynche "Miss You" American Idol Top 12 March 16

Big Mike Lynche is definitely in his element tonight. Before his performance, Michael Lynche recounted the profound impact of his mom leaving them while he was still younger. Mike sang Rolling Stone's "Miss You". Quite tough singing it with a lot of vocal calisthenics and falsetto parts.

Of course, judges loved his performance. Randy thought Big Mike slayed the song, while Ellen exclaimed that it's a way to start off the American Idol Top 12 night. Yet, Simon Cowell disliked the dancing part. Watch Michael Lynche performance video in American Idol Top 12 March 17:

Kristoffer Winters: Jeremy Renner Boyfriend?

Is Kristoffer Winters the boyfriend of Jeremy Renner? In big bold letters, a US tabloid today outed The Hurt Locker star and Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner as gay. The National Enquirer released quite a juicy rumor today that Jeremy Renner is not quite a 'straight' man because everybody close to the actor knows he's not closeted. Yet, the 39 year old actor prefers to remain mum about the subject of his sexual preference out of Hollywood press' radar.

However, a seemed-to-be harmless LA Times classified ad gave validation to the tabloid's contention. The ad proudly declared that:

Actors Jeremy Renner, who played the leader of an explosives disposal unit in the critically acclaimed film "The Hurt Locker," and co-investor Kristoffer Winters found a buyer for their restored 1924 Greek Revival in the Hollywood Hills area after five months on the market.

If you didn't know, Kristoffer Winters is an actor too who appeared in TV series like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and he has a minor role in The Hurt Locker too! Whoa! What do you think of two Hollywood actors in their mid-30s doing more than selling a house together as “co-investors”? Your guess might be good as mine. Looks like National Enquirer got a good scoop this time. For Jeremy, there's nothing wrong being gay so there's not much damage on his rising career.
