Since his time on ‘American Idol’ Aaron Kelly has  been working very hard writing songs for his debut album, which he says has a  modern country feel, however he did find time to speak with TV Squad about his passion for songwriting, the upcoming Idol Tour and his new baby niece. What’s your tour set [...]

Tim Urban spent Friday and Saturday night at the ‘If I Can Dream house’ and after attending the Idol Tour rehearsals on Saturday, Tim returned to  the house, with  Aaron Kelly.  The two Idol alumni  spent a few hours hanging out and jamming with the  other people in the house. Watch Tim and Aaron sing [...]

Lindsey Parker from Yahoo Music interviewed Aaron Kelly during a recent Idol tour rehearsal. He wouldn’t spill much about his tour song choices, but does say he’ll be “kind of sticking with my country theme.” And, unlike what he did on the show, the three tunes he’ll be singing on the tour are all upbeat. Also, he doesn’t feel confident enough in his guitar-playing abilities to bust out an instrument on tour, but he says he’ll play when he’s on his own tour singing his own songs. Speaking of which–Aaron is a songwriter–something Idol fans may not know about him.

You’d think this second to last episode of “Idol” would be a teary affair, since not only does it mean the season’s coming to a close, but it also signals the end of the Simon Cowell era — at least where the “Idol” studio is concerned. But surprisingly, Stage 36 was anything but on Wednesday [...]

American Idol 9 Top 3 Power List!

by Steven on May 18, 2010

*Still looking for a blog reporter to report spoilers! If you are going to tonight’s dress rehearsal, email me at mjsbigblog at gmail dot com* Here’s my power list: 1. Crystal Bowersox 2. Lee DeWyze 3. Casey James Lee lost his number 1 spot from last week, due to his off-pitch and universally panned performance of “Kiss from a Rose”.  Not even the judges liked it very much

:: Check out a preview of Movie theme night, when the Top 4 sing the songs made famous on the big screen. Crystal Bowersox is singing something “louder” and Rickey Minor says after Michael Lynche’s rehearsal performance, everyone got “closer to God.” Well, that’s one way to hype up tonight’s episode. [ People ] :: Lee DeWyze will duet with Crystal Bowersox tonight, while Michael Lynche and Casey James team-up. Who else thinks Idol producers are gunning for a Lee/Crystal finale

When Aaron Kelly dropped by the Late Show with David Letterman today, he made the mistake of telling Dave that he was attending high school online. Lots of ribbing ensued, especially when Aaron couldn’t quite remember how long he’d been on Idol . After, Aaron sang “My Girl” with Paul Shaffer and the band.
