‘It was terrifying’: Ohio native, American Idol star’s home spared in Nashville tornadoes – “A lot of the music venues are gone, places I’ve seen shows, places I’ve seen my friends play, places I’ve played,” said ninth season American Idol runner-up, Crystal Bowersox. Bowersox, an Ohio native who is now a Nashville resident, watched from on-tour as the tornadoes ripped through her neighborhood. “It was probably the scariest night of my life, and I wasn’t even in Nashville,” Bowersox explained. Her 11-year-old son was home with a nanny. “The power went out while we were on the phone, and then the phone cut out. There was a lot of ‘Hello, hello?’ It was terrifying,” the singer said. She was on the phone with them until about 4 a.m., making sure they rode the storm safely. “Ultimately, my home was spared, everyone is okay that I know.

Robbie Williams reveals why he turned down jobs fronting Queen, judging ‘American Idol’ – “[Brian May and Roger Taylor] asked me to do it, and even though I [seem] confident… I have suffered with incredibly low self-esteem,” Williams confesses. “And I just thought I’d save them the audacity of me even trying to step on a stage and be in the same echelon as Freddie Mercury — because he, to me, is angelic. He’s godlike. And it was just too scary.” Williams also has no regrets, insisting that Lambert is the right man for the job. “Look, Adam Lambert, he’s great. If he wasn’t such a lovely person, which he is, I would just be terrified of him, because of his pure talent. His voice is absolutely incredible, and he’s an incredible performer and a lovely person to boot. And I’m really pleased when I meet people that I’m just over-awed by their talent….” This is when Williams reveals that he once turned down another high-profile position: to join the judging panel of the above-mentioned American Idol, in Season 10 (the first season after Simon Cowell left the show). ‘I got offered a TV thing to do. … I turned it down because I wanted my anonymity here,” he says. – Read more at Yahoo Entertainment
