Voice Feud Rages! Christina Aguilera ‘Disgusted’ At Adam Levine’s Jabs – “Adam is making it more about getting at Christina this season and he’s very good at getting under her skin,” a source close to the show exclusively tells RadarOnline.com. “He comes off as a really great guy, but he’s very smart the way he takes jabs at Christina.

Constantine Maroulis interviews Skylar Laine

Can Elise Testone emerge from American Idol with grace? – My worries reflect my feelings about the show more than anything to do with Testone. As a musician, songwriter, and performer, her talents and skills can’t be dismissed. She’s a terrific singer with great range and personality, and she has genuine charisma on stage, no matter the style of music or the concert setting. Over the years, her longtime fans in Charleston have watched her develop her style and evolve from a bar-band vocalist into a confident, magnetic, expressive solo artist and bandleader. Her bandmates and music school students can attest to her enthusiasm and musical knowledge as well. But in the American Idol world, the young singers on the rosters seem interchangeable, despite their attributes. Their talents and personalities seem secondary to the commercialism and glitz. – Read more at Charleston City Paper

‘Glee’: Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith spill details on ‘Prom-asaurus’ – “On a scale of awesomeness, it’s freakin’ rad,” Cory Monteith tells Zap2it of the dinosaur theme. “It’s not just arbitrary — it lends an interesting kind of element to [the episode].” Monteith wouldn’t confirm Internet reports that some of McKinley’s biggest couples were not feeling prom this year, but he would agree with the assessment that some people are against the big event. “There are a group of anti-prom-oriented folks, yes.” – Zap2it

    Yay for Zeus in a thong! (who’d'a thunk that Idol would have somebody like *that* on the show?)  Great to get four stars — and even better with Willie Nelson getting only three stars in the review just below (love Willie Nelson, though …)!

    Not to The Voice: having Adam and Christina whinge and bitch at each other at every opportunity probably won’t do a whole lot for people’s anticipation of the fall season, at this point. Not only do they act like jerks, but they’re boring into the bargain.

    From the Charlotte City Paper article:  “Many of the show’s contestants over the years possessed genuine talent
    and technique, no matter the genre in which they leaned. But more often
    than not, they seemed more interested in becoming famous on TV than
    developing their craft and growing artistically”

    I understand world-weariness and tv cynicism, etc. … But — just simply not true, at least of most of the people who’ve reached the top echelons of Idol.

    It may look that way to the (very) casual and already cynical observer, based on what they are forced to do when they put out quickie not-so-hot souvenir albums and struggle through the years to get cash to keep on doing some music. But I really really really beg to differ with this writer. Most (not all, of course) of the Idol folks have been and continue to be serious about their music and about being career entertainers, not about just being “celebs.”

    Kelly, Melinda, Blake, Elliott, Carrie, Crystal, Cook, Kris, Archie, Brooke, Casey J, and so on and so on and so on — “more interested in becoming famous on TV?” Not in the least.
