Paul McDonald's girlfriend

2011-04-14T23:53:00.000-07:00

According to msnbc Paul McDonald and Nikki Reed hit it off after meeting at a movie premiere. While Paul did not know who she was, she not only knew who he was but she also approach her. Obviously Paul did not find her too bold when she came to him and complimented him. I guess with his new found stardom and the fact that he was lead singer in a band he probably gets that all the time! It has been said that she refers to him as her boyfriend so maybe it is official now... While Paul did not make it all the way to the finale of American Idol at least he found love on the show.

The following is this week's program with the theme for the week and the guest performers for the result show.

On Wednesday, April 13 at 8/7c the Top 8 finalists – Casey Abrams, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, Stefano Langone, Jacob Lusk, Scotty McCreery, Paul McDonald, and Haley Reinhart – return to the Idol stage to perform songs from the movies.

Iggy Pop on American Idol

2011-04-08T11:32:00.000-07:00

Yes it was a real wild night at the American Idol April 7, 2011 results show. This American idol week was unusual to say the least. The Wednesday’s April 6th guest performer, guitarist Jeff Beck cancelled. There was no replacement. Will I. Am vocal coached the contestants and Gwen Stefani dressed female contestants. Wednesday’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame theme left the field wide open for performance song choice. But American Idol fans got to hear a genuine Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Iggy Pop of the Stooges, perform on Thursday’s, April 7th, 2011 Results Show.

Two guest performances occurred Thursday night. The first was by season four American Idol alumni Constantine Maroulis. Near the middle of the show, Constantine took the stage and performed “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers. His interpretation of “Unchained Melody” was slower than the original and had some melodic variations. Overall it was a good performance. The audience and judges seemed please to have him return to the American Idol stage. Constantine James Maroulis was born in Brooklyn, New York on September 17th, 1975 and moved to Wyckoff, New Jersey. He was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for the role he played in the musical “Rock of Ages.” Constantine studied trumpet at a young age and graduated from the Boston Conservatory with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He has been in independent films, performed off-Broadway and played a lead role in the tour of “Rent.” Constantine also appeared in an episode of the NBC TV show “Law and Order: SUV.” Constantine's guest performance ended coolly and it was mentioned that he had recently become a Dad with the birth of his daughter and walked of the stage with cheering applause from the audience.

The guest star performer for the April 7th, 2011 Results Show was the front-man of the “Stooges”, Iggy Pop. He ripped on to the stage with no shirt, tight black jeans and long blonde hair. Although his performance wasn’t anything spectacular, the audience loved it. Many might not know of Iggy, his hay-day was back in the 1980’s. He sang “Real Wild Child” and it was wild. Iggy ran back and forth across the stage and got up in Jennifer Lopez’s face while singing “I’m a real wild child…” Iggy Pop’s real name is James Newell Osterberg, Jr.; he was born April 21st, 1947. Iggy played drums in High School and performed with the Iguanas and the Stooges bands. His voice is heard in a number of film soundtracks. Iggy Pop studied the Doors and Jim Morrison to develop his punk-rock style of singing. The audience and judges were entertained by his performance. It is inspiring to have a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee perform for the American Idol contestants, judges and audience. It was a crazy surprise to see Iggy Pop on the AI stage.

Paula Abdul Performance - American Idol season 8 May 6 2009

2009-05-07T13:08:00.000-07:00

After Paula put together a much praised choreography for the contestants this season we got to see her perform her own song on the stage of American Idol on May 6 2009. She sang "I'm Just Here For The Music" which is one of her new songs surrounded by dancers. Paula Abdul is known not only for her songs but also for her talents as a dancer. All over the web there has been a controversy surrounding Paula Abdul's performance, many people "saw" that she was lip-synching and called foul.

Indeed, they believe that since American Idol is a singing competition and because Ms Abdul is one of the judges who get to criticize the contestants after their performances, she should not be "allowed" to lip-synch her song.

Paula is not a contestant on American Idol, she's a judge the rules that apply to the contestants obviously don't apply to her. She is not judges after her performance. Besides, the group song is sometimes lip-synched as well. Personally I couldn't care less. It's like saying being making music videos should not lip-synch. People don't really care, it's not a like rock concert or anything of the sort. It's just Paula Abdul promoting her new song and whether she sung it live or not if you like the song you would have enjoyed it.

On that same night Allison Iraheta was eliminated from the competition.
