American Idol Says Goodbye To Rocker James Durbin [VIDEO]

Amy Austin — Fri, 13 May 2011 21:24:04 +0000

It was a sad night on American Idol. Rocker James Durbin was sent home and I was sad to see him go! James has overcome a lot in his life, from Turrets syndrome, to being unemployed. But, the boy can sing! I believe this is just the beginning for James, and although he was sad to go, he has great things awaiting him!

The Top 3 are: Scott McCreery, Haley Reinhart and Lauren Aliana. Who will be the next American Idol?

American Idol Fans Say Goodbye To Casey Abrams

Last night was the end of the road for the 20-year-old bassist/singer, who had been saved by the judges five weeks ago. Casey Abrams was a firecracker, a musician first and foremost who introduced many to his love of jazz and blues. He was seen as an 'odd duck' for the Idol competition, but I thinks that was the attraction. I hated to see Casey Abrams leave American Idol Last Night. Casey brought so much 'character' to the show with his spot on performances. Still standing - Scott McCreery, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, Jacob Lusk and Hailey Rinehart.

American Idol – Who Will Survive Carole King Week

Amy Austin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:04:51 +0000

American Idol was all about Carole King songs. The contestants had big shoes to fill, and most of them filled those shoes to a 'tee.' Country Crooner, Scott McCreery, came back from a bad week last week, but did he do enough to stay? Rocker James Durbin showed his softer side with 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." Proving he can be bold and tender. The judges praised country cutie, Lauren Alaina. Lauren keeps improving every week and she really shined last night by singing 'Where You Lead.' Casey Abrams, who always challenges himself, chose to sing, 'Hi De Ho.' Casey knocked it out of the park!

Who will be eliminated? Will it be your favorite? Hopefully not!

American Idol – Carole King Week

Amy Austin — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:47:41 +0000

Carole King Week starts tonight on American Idol! This should be very interesting. Choosing the right song is key to Idol success, right up there with giving a perfect performance. Contestants can go wrong picking a song too closely identified with a previous Idol, too old or unfamiliar, too worn-out or just plain wrong for their voices. Could this be a rough week for country crooner Scott McCreery? Read on after the jump.
