I think the announcement of who will be replacing Simon will either make [...]
Ryan Seacrest still tries to get us with his antics of trying to make the eliminations more intense. This week he began by creating 3 groups of 2 contestants each on the stage. Beginning with Siobhan Magnus and Lee DeWyze in one group. Aaron Kelly and Crystal Bowersox in the second group. And Michael Lynche [...]
Shania Twain mentored this week on American Idol and each of the top 6 performed one of Shania’s songs. Lee DeWyze began the evening by performing “You’re Still the One”.
