Aw, Season 9 Top 24 contestant, Alex Lambert , records his very first demo, courtesy of Simon Fuller ! The short clip is part of the web show, If I Can Dream . When Alex isn’t away recording demos, or doing whatever it is hopeful young musicians do, he’s back at the If I Can Dream house, being videoed 24/7 for Fuller’s ambitious new web project. I wonder if Alex had a hand in writing the tune?
From the minute you step foot into the Foothill Unity Center in Monrovia, some 25 miles east of L.A., you get the immediate sense that these people mean business. Sure, the guy greeting you at the door is pushing 90, but you learn soon enough that when it comes to Feeding America volunteers, they come in all ages, colors, sizes and creeds. Likewise, the center's beneficiaries span every demographic. The person coming in for a cart full of basic groceries (a $10 donation equals 90 pounds of food) could be your neighbor, a teacher or anyone struggling to scrape by in a down economy.
As has become a Friday tradition, we spent the evening having dinner with the week’s eliminated “American Idol” contestant at the “If I Can Dream” house. Only on this go-round, there were two of them. Katie Stevens and Andrew Garcia joined the Dreamers, which now include former Top 24 contender Alex Lambert , for taco night, filling them in on “Idol’s” early mornings and jam-packed days, which were especially rough on 17-year-old Katie, who had to attend school at the same time. We all learned a lot about the process (like how individual contestants get only 15 minutes with the mentor!), and about these hopefuls, who’ve survived every form of critique — good and bad — in their two-plus months of competition

Katie Stevens tweeted this photo earlier today, with the note, “At lunch eating sushi with @andrewagarcia ” Yep. Now that Katie and Andrew Garcia are off the show, they can tweet to their hearts content. Andrew’s address is @ andrewagarcia and Katie is tweeting from @ katiestevensai9 . The two will be singing a duet on The Late Show with Letterman on Monday.

It was open mic night at the ” If I Can Dream ” studio Thursday as “American Idol” castoff Alex Lambert and his “Dream” housemate Justin Gaston performed a mini-set of acoustic covers for an online audience. The two joined vocal forces for “Let It Be,” and Alex also took on “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Lean On Me” and Bob Marley's “Three Little Birds.” Check out Alex's version of the reggae classic below… Follow @IdolTracker on Twitter
Didi Benami visited the If I Can Dream house Friday night to hang out with the “dreamers”. New castmate, Alex Lambert was there, and it was interesting to learn that the boys and girls in the Top 24 had very little contact with each other during the semi-final rounds. Didi and Alex don’t know each other very well. Didi says she fought through some of her own vocal issues, and Alex recounts throwing up due to nerves just minutes before one of his live performances.
