“American Idol” Contestants Amelia Hammer Harris and Taylor John Williams Are Dating – American Idol frontrunner Amelia Hammer Harris’s sultry rendition of The Rolling Stone’s “Gimme Shelter” won over the judges and earned her a ticket to Hollywood. But she is heading into the next round with more than just a golden ticket. In an interview with GoodHousekeeping.com, Harris reveals that she and a fellow contestant have started dating since their auditions. “One of the contestants on the show and I have kind of fallen in love,” she says with a giggle over the phone. “His name is Taylor John Williams. It was very unexpected.” – Taylor John, who was a contestant on The Voice Season 7, hasn’t been featured on Idol AT ALL yet… – Read more at Good Housekeeping
What Exactly Is Katy Perry Doing on American Idol? – Katy Perry, who sits at the center of the show’s three judges, takes up just about all of American Idol‘s psychic energy. It’s no small feat—her fellow panelists are Luke Bryan, one of country’s reigning superstars, and Lionel Richie, a legend with five Grammys on the shelf. But on American Idol, they sing back-up to Katy Perry. She seems to be earning her reported $25 million salary in at least one sense: Her brassy humor inflects every moment. She’s the one who plays along with aspiring singers even before they ask, performing a hoedown when one contestant yodels a country song, or turning another contestant’s muttered “Wig” (a slang term indicating one is blown away by one’s surroundings) into a goofily exuberant nod at the fancifulness of web culture. “It’s not your language,” she told Bryan and Richie. “It’s just for us.” – Read more at Time
Lauren Jauregui Reflects on Fifth Harmony in ‘Playboy’ Profile: ‘We Tried Our Best to Be Ourselves’ – Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui recently sat down with Playboy for an extensive interview and photo shoot, discussing the beginnings of Fifth Harmony, her social views and her life today. “We tried our best to be ourselves, [but] we were also adolescents, so you have to think about who you were at that age and being thrown in front of cameras,” Jauregui said about the beginnings of Fifth Harmony when she was only 16. “When you’re really disconnected from who you are and you’re ashamed of it, you can write and tell a story, but you can never really tell your story.” – Read more at Billboard
Normani Talks ‘Love Lies’ & Khalid: ‘It’s Just Two Genuine Friends Making Music for the Sake of the Art’ – “It kind of happened really organically and it’s just two genuine friends making music for the sake of the art,” she said of her relationship with the “Young, Dumb & Broke” singer. “I remember him telling me, he was like, ‘Yo, I want this to be my favorite song. Let’s not even go into it trying to create a hit.’ If it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be, but it’s genuinely my favorite song at the moment right now.” – Read more at Billboard
