Seacrest started a group with Jason Castro and Carly Smithson on his left and a group with David Cook and Kristy Lee Cook on his right. For the Ford Music video, the American Idol finalists performed “I Want To Break Free.” American Idol 5 finalist Elliott Yamin made a special guest appearance and sang “Free.” After Elliott Yamin’s performance, Seacrest asked Syesha Mercado to join Jason and Carly and asked Brook White to join David and Kristy Lee. In an American Idol call-in segment, a viewer asked Kristy Lee Cook if she was able to buy her horse back. Kristy Lee Cook said that the guy who bought the horse didn’t want to sell it back. Another viewer asked the judges what the first record they ever bought was, and Simon Cowell said, “I was ten years old, and it was Paula Abdul’s Straight Up.” Mariah Carey sang “Bye Bye” from her new album “E=MC².” After Mariah Carey’s performance, Seacrest called David Archuleta to center stage and told him that he was safe. Then, Seacrest asked David Cook to swap groups with Syesha Mercado. Seacrest asked David Archuleta to join the group that he thought was safe, but Archuleta sat down in the middle of the stage. Since Archuleta wouldn’t make a decision, Seacrest revealed that David Cook, Jason Castro, and Carly Smithson were the safe group. Syesha Mercado, Brooke White, and Kristy Lee Cook took center stage as the bottom three. Seacrest revealed that Syesha was safe and would be joining them next week. After talking with the judges, Seacrest announced, “After the nationwide vote, the person staying with us is Brooke. Kristy Lee Cook leaves us tonight on American Idol.” To close out the show, Kristy Lee Cook sang an encore of “Forever.” Photo Credit: Reality TV Magazine ShareThis Read more... David Archuleta sang “When You Believe.” Randy Jackson said, “You can sing anything.” Paula Abdul said, “It must feel great for Mariah to be able to hear your interpretation of the song, and I know she was beaming, because you made her proud.” Simon Cowell said, “I thought it was very, very good.” Carly Smithson sang “Without You.” Randy Jackson said, “It was pretty good.” Paula Abdul said, “I actually liked that you showed some vocal restraint.” Simon Cowell said, “I thought that it was an ok version.” Syesha Mercado sang “Vanishing.” Randy Jackson said, “You did a good job on it all things considered.” Paula Abdul said, “You’re smart because you picked a song that not many people know.” Simon Cowell said, “Technically, it was very, very good indeed. Having said that, I’m not sure at this stage in the competition that I would have chosen a song which not many people know about.” Brooke White sang “Hero.” Randy Jackson said, “The bridge kind of threw me a little bit.” Paula Abdul said, “Every ounce of you is totally authentic to who you are.” Simon Cowell said, “It was a bit like ordering a hamburger and only getting the bun. In other words, the vital ingredient, the bit in the middle was missing.” Kristy Lee Cook sang “Forever.” Randy Jackson said, “You definitely started stepping up towards the end.” Paula Abdul said, “I’m like blown away.” Simon Cowell said, “You didn’t give me chills. I think you managed with what you could.” David Cook sang “Always Be My Baby.” Randy Jackson said, “That was the most brilliant performance yet.” Paula Abdul said, “That song could be in a movie soundtrack right now.” Simon Cowell said, “It was original, it was daring, it stood out by a mile.” ShareThis Read more... On Tuesday, April 15 from 8 PM to 9 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed, Brooke White, Carly Smithson, David Archuleta, David Cook, Jason Castro, Kristy Lee Cook and Syesha Mercado will perform Mariah Carey songs. On Wednesday, April 16 from 9 PM to 10 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed, one of the final 7 American Idol finalists will be eliminated on the American Idol results show. Also, Mariah Carey will give a live performance. Mariah Carey’s new album “E=MC²” is being released in stores on April 15. This is the eleventh album of Mariah Carey’s career, and “Touch My Body,” the first single from the album, is already a top 10 radio hit. Photo Credit: Michael Becker/FOX ShareThis Read more... Even though some may argue, recently eliminated American Idol finalist Michael Johns has gone on record claiming that season 7 is different from previous seasons. Johns said, “Of any season that I could have been on, to be a part of this one was just really special. The fact that there was no laughing stock, there were no jokers, do you know what I mean? I think we had a lot of respect in the public eye, and that’s something I can be very proud of.” So what did Michael Johns mean by no jokers or no laughing stock? Johns explained, “As Simon says, the show is only as good as the talent that walks through the door. For some reason, the way that it worked this year was like they wanted it to be a singing competition rather than a TV show. Do you know what I mean? No controversy of Sanjaya or whoever else. They wanted to make it a really good singing competition, and I think that’s what they did. I applaud them for it.” Michael Johns has a point. While Kristy Lee Cook has gained the support of many viewers who like to vote for the worst, she is a far cry from ponyhawk-sporting Sanjaya. In previous seasons of American Idol, there was usually a contestant who was so unique and different that viewers either loved them or hated them. However, the lack of such a contestant this year doesn’t necessarily make American Idol more interesting. There is something to be said for having a contestant who is so different that they create a massive controversy among viewers. As an extra bonus, you can now read all of our American Idol Cast Bios!

Ryan Seacrest will offer up some type of apology over how he handled Michael Johns’ elimination in an attempt to repair his image with viewers. 3. David Cook will be back to his old self and will once again amaze the judges with a unique performance. Jen, on Dancing with the Stars: Okay, so now the obvious eliminations have been made. This week it’s time to make some tough decisions. Everyone who’s left is a pretty darn good dancer. There will still be some griping about trying to keep up with Kristi Yamaguchi, but this week she’ll pull out all stops and nobody will even come close. Probably Marissa will go home this week, while Shannon & Derek will look more like Prom Queen and King than ever (insert Awwww here). Jen, on The Biggest Loser: It’s finale week! Have you voted? For the first time ever, fans votes will help decide who could potentially win the big prize. Both guys are on the chopping block. I think fans will accept Mark’s last-minute turnaround of attitude and vote him in, cutting Roger out of the running. That will leave the final three Ali, Kelly, and Mark. Who will win? I predict Ali will take it (man, that girl is TINY now!), although they all deserve it (wouldn’t you agree?). Jen, on The Bachelor: Shayne and Matt will grow ever-closer, and he’ll have a hard time concentrating on the fact that there are other girls there. But don’t worry, Robin will make her presence known…and known…and known. Marshanna will let the claws come out this week, and may not survive the rose ceremony because of it. Can’t watch the shows?

On American Idol message boards and blogs, some fans have been calling for Seacrest to be kicked off the show while other fans have been demanding that Seacrest apologize to Michael Johns. While Seacrest does have his defenders who point out that he was likely just reading off a scripted card, the overwhelming response seems to be that Seacrest went too far. So what does Michael Johns think about Ryan Seacrest’s cruel trick? In a media conference call, Johns said, “Look, I get the television aspect of this competition, but it was tough. I thought okay, I’m going home and then he did that and I was, ‘Wait a second, maybe I’m not going home. Maybe they’re just having a good laugh.’ I hadn’t been in the bottom three before, so I was thinking that was a possibility. When reality set in and Ryan gave me a look as if to say, ‘Look, I am so sorry I had to do that,’ but you get it. I don’t hold it against Ryan or anything. After this I’m hopefully going to make a great record. It won’t be the last you see of me.” Since Michael Johns doesn’t hold any grudges against Ryan Seacrest, should American Idol viewers? Should Ryan Seacrest apologize for the way he handled Michael John’s elimination? As unusual as it may sound, there is a strong argument that could be made that the way Ryan Seacrest’s mean trick could actually be the best thing that could have happened for Michael Johns. Because the comment came off as cruel, it garnered sympathy for Michael Johns from millions of viewers, which could help him as he continues to pursue his career.

During the American Idol results show, the finalists actually sang the “My Jesus” version of the song. No mention was made on the show of the controversy or why “My Jesus” was originally edited, but then added back when the song was performed for a second time. During a media call, recently eliminated American Idol finalist Michael Johns was asked about the finalists singing an overtly Christian religious song and if the producers gave them an option on singing it. Johns said, “Religions are personal. I think there’s a big difference between spiritual and religion, you know what I mean? With Idol Gives Back it’s a bigger picture out there. Just to be a part of something like that, it’s just magic. I didn’t expect that coming into the season. You’re thinking about the singing in the competition, but then Sunday night happened and you’re just like oh, my goodness. It’s amazing to sit there and look at these artists giving back and doing such good. I was happy to sing it.” Photo Credit: Ray Mickshaw/FOX ShareThis Read more... Apparently, Dolly Parton was impressed with Michael Johns’ performance as well. Johns revealed, “I was on the line with FOX and Friends, I think, this morning doing an interview and they were doing an interview with Dolly and Lily Tomlin, actually, talking about the Nine to Five musical. I don’t know how she was made aware of it, but all of a sudden Dolly was talking to me, saying, ‘Michael, I can’t believe that you got voted off. It was really shocking to me,’ and the fact that she loved what I did with her song, which was amazing to me. She said she would love to write and maybe sing a duet one of these days. That was pretty cool.” In addition to Dolly Parton, Michael Johns revealed, “I got a reach-out from Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman.” Johns added, “Saying I was their favorite and they watched every week. It’s just amazing how far this show reaches, everyone from Dolly Parton to Keith Urban. It’s insane.” The message from Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman was passed on to Michael Johns at an event he went to after Idol Gives Back. Johns said, “It was the last thing I was expecting to hear, but any time you can get two great Australians saying that to you, I was very, very honored.” Photo Credit: Reality TV Magazine ShareThis Read more... When asked if he was surprised to be eliminated, Johns responded “I mean, of course. I would be lying to say that I wasn’t shocked. I hadn’t been in the bottom three and I thought the last two or three weeks had been my strongest. We’re in this competition and stuff can happen, and it did.” While Simon Cowell tried to blame Michael Johns’ elimination on song choice, Johns stood by his decision. Johns told reporters, “Absolutely no regrets at all, mate.” He explained, “I think I pick songs that mean something to me lyrically and emotionally. Singing ‘Dream On’ by Aerosmith with a 20-piece orchestra, I’ve said it on the show, that’s amazing.” When asked if “Dream On” didn’t evoke the same emotion as some of the other songs, Johns explained, “No, because, as I said, I’m living my dream. That song is all about how they can struggle and overcome things, and I’ve done that for the last ten years. Living in America, this is my dream. Dream on until the dreams come true, and they’re coming true right now. That’s why I chose that song for sure.” ShareThis Read more...

But recently his band has come under fire, with allegations that their song, “Feels Like Tonight” might be plagiarized from a song called “Tonight,” by Asphalt. “Feels Like Tonight,” co-written by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Shep Solomon, includes lyrics that are strikingly similar to the Asphalt version, particularly in the refrain, where both versions croon, “It feels like tonight…” in an almost-identical melody. This is not the first time Dr. Luke has been accused of ripping off song lyrics. Pop singer Avril Levigne settled out of court over allegations that her hit song “Girlfriend” copied lyrics of a Rubinoos song, “I Wanna be Your Boyfriend.” Daughtry is considered the most successful Idol contestant who did not make it to the top two, proving that being in the Top Ten just might be enough to create a hugely successful career — an accomplishment that might buoy optimistic hopes of Michael Johns fans. Johns was the victim of a shocking elimination in last night’s American Idol, leaving some fans outraged and confused. American Idol airs Tuesdays and Wednesdays on FOX.

However, many American Idol fans are outraged over Ryan Seacrest’s comments during the elimination of Idol finalist Michael Johns. In what could be Seacrest’s cruelest tease ever on American Idol, he said, “That means Michael has the lowest number of votes this week. Now, last year during Idol Gives Back, we didn’t eliminate anybody at this stage of the competition.” After the camera cut in on the face of a surprised Michael Johns turning to give Seacrest a hopeful look, Seacrest continued, “Tonight, we’re going to say goodbye to Michael Johns.” Many American Idol fans immediately turned to the American Idol message boards to express both their surprise over Michael Johns elimination and their anger over the way Seacrest delivered the results. As with any shocking elimination on American Idol, there are plenty of cries of conspiracy and demands for a recount. Conspiracy theories range from fans not voting because they didn’t think there would be an elimination during Idol Gives Back week to American Idol producers scripting the outcome to boost ratings with a shocker elimination. However, many fans are just as upset over the way the elimination was handled as the elimination itself. A common theme of complaints is that making Michael Johns think he might have a chance of continuing on the show was cruel and inappropriate, especially considering it came in a week where Idol was promoting charity and giving. At least Michael Johns can take solace in the fact that going in a shocking elimination on American Idol can often be just as good as winning. Both Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry went on to very successful careers after what many fans considered to be early exits from American Idol.

After a celebrity dance video, Ryan Seacrest revealed that over thirty-one million votes were cast for the top 8 finalists. First, Seacrest called Brooke White to center stage. Seacrest had Brooke read his card that revealed she was safe. Next, Seacrest called David Cook to center stage and revealed that he was safe. Finally, Seacrest called David Archuleta to center stage and revealed that he was also safe. After an Idol Gives Back video segment with Forest Whitaker, American Idol 6 winner Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown performed “No Air.” For the Ford music video, the American Idol top 8 finalists performed “I Just Want To Celebrate.” First, Ryan Seacrest called Jason Castro to center stage and revealed that he was safe. Next, Seacrest called Kristy Lee Cook to center stage and revealed that she was also safe. Since five finalists had been announced as safe, it meant the bottom three were Michael Johns, Carly Smithson, and Syesha Mercado. After an Idol Gives Back video segment with Bono, Presidential candidates Hilary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama encouraged viewers to donate to Idol Gives Back. As Michael Johns, Carly Smithson, and Syesha Mercado waited on stage, Randy Jackson said, “Pretty surprising bottom three.” Paula Abdul said America got it partly right and partly wrong, while Simon Cowell professed that America had connected with him. Ryan Seacrest revealed that after the nationwide vote that Carly Smithson and Syesha Mercado were safe. In one of Ryan Seacrest’s more cruel teases, he said, “That means Michael has the lowest number of votes this week. Now, last year during Idol Gives Back, we didn’t eliminate anybody at this stage of the competition. Tonight, we’re going to say goodbye to Michael Johns.” ShareThis Read more... However, the finalists sang a modified version of the song. Instead of singing the verse that goes “My Jesus, My Savior,” the finalists sang “My Shepherd, My Savior.” Jesus was replaced with the word “shepherd.” The change was likely an attempt by American Idol producers to lessen any controversy among people of different religions. However, the modification of the song seems to have created controversy as well. After Idol Gives Back, the American Idol message board lit up with posts of people questioning the appropriateness of having the finalists sing a Christian song. Not only were some people of other religions offended, but some Christians were also offended that “Jesus” was edited out of the song. Even though “Jesus” was removed from the final song, “Jesus” was included in an earlier song by Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey sang the verse “Higher Jesus” in the song “Fly Like A Bird.” Also, creating some controversy was Ben Stiller’s final appearance on the show. After American Idol closed Idol Gives Back with two songs with religious messages, Ben Stiller appeared in front of an empty theater. After realizing no one was there, Ben cursed “What the ****, Seacrest. **** Seacrest.” While Ben’s words were bleeped out, some viewers felt it was an inappropriate way to end a charity show.

As the Idols sang, several stars from So You Think You Can Dance performed.

Two weeks ago, Cowell paid big for a shopping spree with Ivanka Trump to support Celebrity Apprentice winner, Piers Morgan’s, charity of choice, The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. This week it’s Idol’s turn to go charitable, and Simon’s got his wallet out once again. Yesterday, he revealed that he’ll be donating a day’s pay to Idol Gives Back. Cowell, who traveled across the U.S. and through Africa during last year’s Idol Gives Back, was touched by the children living in extreme conditions, as was host Ryan Seacrest. In fact, earlier this week Seacrest announced that he, too, will be donating his paycheck this year to the cause. Funds raised during Idol Gives Back will go to many children’s charities, such as The Children’s Defense Fund and Save the Children. Idol Gives Back will air Wednesday, April 9th at 8:00 PM (ET) on FOX. Photo Courtesy: FOX ShareThis Read more... Syesha Mercado sang “I Believe.” Randy Jackson said, “It was ok, just ok.” Paula Abdul said, “I just think hands down this is one of your most shining nights.” Simon Cowell said, “Technically, I thought you sang it very well. However, what it lacked for me was that big, big wave of emotion, which I got when Fantasia sang it.” Jason Castro sang “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” Randy Jackson said, “Dude, Jason Castro is back in the hunt. That was the hottest so far tonight.” Paula Abdul said, “You have the most definitive sound.” Simon Cowell said, “First time, I heard that version I wasn’t sure; second time, loved it; third time, fantastic.” Kristy Lee Cook sang “Anyway.” Randy Jackson said, “There were a couple little pitch moments, but I loved that.” Paula Abdul said, “I think you outdid yourself tonight. This was your best by far.” Simon Cowell said, “I thought you were very, very good, indeed.” David Cook sang “Innocent.” Randy Jackson said, “I’m not sure this was one of your strongest weeks right here.” Paula Abdul said, “I think that you are so well defined as being the whole package.” Simon Cowell said, “I didn’t like this performance very much at all.” Carly Smithson sang “The Show Must Go On.” Randy Jackson said, “It was disconnected for me.” Paula Abdul said, “I just didn’t feel the connection.” Simon Cowell said, “It actually came over as kind of an angry performance.” David Archuleta sang “Angels.” Randy Jackson said, “That was your hottest moment the whole season.” Paula Abdul said, “That sums it up for me, fantastic.” Simon Cowell said, “Best song choice of the night so far.” Brooke White sang “You’ve Got A Friend.” Randy Jackson said, “For me, I don’t think it was your best performance. It was ok.” Paula Abdul said, “I think it was the perfect way to close the evening.” Simon Cowell said, “It was nice. Was it original? No. Was it pleasant? Yes.” ShareThis Read more... On Wednesday, April 9 from 7:30 PM to 10 PM ET/PT, there will be a special episode of American Idol called Idol Gives Back. During this episode, no one will get kicked off the show. Instead, Idol Gives Back will be a musical celebration to raise money and awareness for U.S. and international charities. Numerous celebrities are scheduled to participate, including Bono, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Miley Cyrus, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Mariah Carey, Robin Williams, Celine Dion, Forest Whitaker, Billy Crystal, Dane Cook, Kiefer Sutherland, Fergie, Chris Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Annie Lennox, John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Maroon 5, Heart, Gloria Estefan, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Jennifer Connolly, Elliott Yamin, Fantasia and Amy Adams. On Thursday, April 10 from 8 PM to 9 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed, American Idol will hold the results show for the top eight finalists, and one more finalist will be eliminated from the competition.

In regards to David Cook, Randy Jackson said, “He’s definitely one of my favorites. I think he’s got a shot at winning the whole thing, this kid.” Simon Cowell said, “This is the guy I would actually choose to listen to on a personal level. Forget what I think about the business, I like this guy. I think he’s very good, my favorite.” In regards to Carly Smithson, Simon Cowell said, “I’ll tell you the problem I have with Carly is I don’t think she knows who she is. I don’t think you can listen to a Carly song and go that’s who she is.” Paula Abdul said, “I think she picks songs that she thinks we’re going to approve of.” In regards to Michael Johns, Randy Jackson said, “He’s a really talented guy. My problem with him is up until recently he’s been picking the wrong songs.” Simon Cowell said, “I like this guy. I think sometimes he’s a little bit like he’s auditioning for a spot as the lead singer in a rock band, and then he gets it right when he does the whole blues soul thing.” In regards to Brooke White, Paula Abdul said, “She puts her heart and soul into every song. America really connects with her.” Ryan Seacrest said, “I like her. She doesn’t have a government. In other words, she gets on stage and she says what’s on her mind without thinking about it, without being too much of a politician.” Simon Cowell said, “Her problem is the last two weeks she’s been boring.” In regards to David Archuleta, Randy Jackson said, “I think David’s really, really talented. He’s also one of the ones to beat.” Ryan Seacrest said, “Out of the gate, he was right up here, at the top of the crop, and it’s hard to maintain that each and every week.” Simon Cowell said, “He’s the one to beat, Larry. He really is the one to beat.”
