Erika Van Pelt

Erika Van Pelt was entirely composed when doing her 10 question exit interview upon being voted off of 'American Idol' his past Thursday (March 22.) She kept an upbeat attitude and is looking forward to the summer tour with her former castmates. We, on the other hand, were totally distracted by that massive spider-like ring on her finger.

Erika Van Pelt had to sing for her life on 'American Idol' tonight (March 22), since she received the least amount of votes. She once again tore through 'I Believe in You and Me,' which she also performed during the Whitney Houston episode a few weeks ago.

Erika Van Pelt courageously took on Whitney Houston's 'I Believe In You and Me ' on 'American Idol' tonight, a big song requiring impeccable vocals. Erika more than lived up to the challenge, filling the shoes of the recently departed Houston.

Top 24 'American Idol' contestant Erika Van Pelt impressed tonight with her version of  the Heart '80's classic 'What About Love.'  The 26-year-old blonde rocker started off strong in her lower register and nailed the big chorus.

As Hollywood Week continued, three 'Idol' hopefuls made their way in front of the judges to prove their singing chops.

Erika Van Pelt of South Kingston, R.I. is a travelling DJ and wedding singer on the side. It looks as though her travels will take her straight to Hollywood because this girl has got pipes!
