Skylar Laine Takes The ‘American Idol’ Stage By Storm With ‘Fortunate Son’ + ‘You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me’
Somehow our favorite country bumpkin on 'American Idol' this season, Skylar Laine, landed herself in the bottom three last week. Rather than sulking about her near demise, the fiery singer came out tonight (May 2) in a fringed vest and boots choosing to perform a foot stomping rendition of ‘Fortunate Son’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Hollie Cavanagh Comes Out Swinging With ‘River Deep – Mountain High’ + ‘Bleeding Love’ on ‘American Idol’
We have been sitting on the edge of our seats just waiting for ‘American Idol’ contestant Hollie Cavanagh to bust out of her shell. While she has one of the biggest voices in the competition, she also has spent the duration of it fading into the background on account of bad song choices and, of course, tough competition.
Phillip Phillips Serenades Us With Queen’s ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ + DMB’s ‘The Stone’ on ‘American Idol’
'American Idol’ contestant and fan favorite Phillip Phillips may have been thinking of judge Jennifer Lopez when he selected Queen's hit ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ to sing this week. He hit the stage without the signature guitar and we were left wondering if he would deliver magic without the comfort of his five-stringed friend.
Skylar Laine Proves Her ‘Show Will Go On’ With Queen Performance + ‘Tattoos On This Town’ on ‘American Idol’
This week with Queen’s greatest hits being brought to the stage, country songstress and 'American Idol' contestant Skylar Laine choose ‘The Show Must Go On’ from the bands 1991 album ‘Innuendo.’ As a contestant who has not once delivered a less than favorable performance, we weren’t surprised as Laine hit every note of the performance and proved that indeed, her show will likely go on beyond this
‘American Idol’ Contestant Elise Testone ‘Killed It’ With Rendition of Lady Gaga’s ‘You & I’
'American Idol' contestant Elise Testone was left to close tonight’s show, and after several standout performances, the pressure was on. Maybe it’s simply because she’s got the chops, or maybe it was the video of celebrity Jason Segal wishing her luck before she sang – but in any event she blew it out of the water with her performance, of Lady Gaga's 'You & I.'
Joshua Ledet Proves He Won’t Be ‘Running Away’ From ‘American Idol’ Anytime Soon
This week's 'American Idol' contestant Joshua Ledet turned 20 years old today (April 11). But before performing Bruno Mars' 'Runaway Baby,' Ryan Seacrest had a special birthday greeting for Ledet from none other than third season ‘Idol’ winner Fantasia Barrino. We visited his hometown of West Lake, La. where apparently they are as excited about Ledet as we are. Humble and adorable Ledet said “I’m
Skylar Laine ‘Doesn’t Know How Much We Loved Her’ On ‘American Idol’
Mississippian and ‘American Idol’ contestant and Skylar Laine may just be the best singer on whatever side of the Mississippi she resides on. This week the contestants had a plethora of options as they were able to choose any song that had been recorded from 2010 on. Not a surprise Laine picked a country song, 'Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You,' by fellow country crooner and ‘Idol’ alum Kellie
Heejun Han Makes a Comeback on ‘American Idol’ With ‘A Song for You’
After being in the bottom ‘American Idol’ contestant, Heejan Han entered this week with his tail between his legs. While his charismatic personality and humor shone on stage, his vocals weren’t quite cutting it. Perhaps it was the harsh reality of barely surviving another week that got Han to take the competition seriously and hit us with a comeback.
Elise Testone Gives Us Reason to Show Her ‘A Whole Lotta Love’ on ‘American Idol’
When ‘American Idol’ hopeful Elise Testone walked into rehearsal and told mentors Stevie Nicks and Jimmy Iovine that she was planning to sing ‘Whole Lotta Love’ by English rock band Led Zeppelin, they looked slightly worried. However once Testone opened her mouth, the fear and skepticism immediately washed from their faces. Nicks even had the singer harmonize with her on one of her very own songs
Jessica Sanchez Gives Us ‘Sweet Dreams’ On ‘American Idol’
'American Idol' contestant Jessica Sanchez is a diva in the making, so it was only appropriate that she serenade us in a Sasha Fierce fashion singing ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Beyonce Knowles. Sanchez coined Knowles as her idol stating “As a kid I used to try and do her moves, but I don’t anymore because I know I can’t do them!” We'd still like to see her give it the old college try.
