“I had to make a decision of whether or not I wanted to stay with [ Memphis] or whether I wanted to go to L.A. to try to make more of a name for myself, ” Hall said during an interview at the Star-Telegram offices. “[My Idol] season is over, and another season has started, and I feel like when you’re two seasons away, no one’s going to remember you.”

For now, Hall is back in Texas, where he plans to launch a touring production of Fairytale’d, a musical he wrote and will direct.

The latest incarnation of Aero-smith frontman Steven Tyler as an “American Idol” judge has struck a chord with opportunistic fans of Marshfield’s Demon of Screamin’, who are online demanding hundreds and even thousands of dollars for everything from autographs to bus shelter posters tied to the 62-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

“Get it while it is hot. ‘Idol’ will only make Tyler collectibles more valuable, ” says the Craigslist pitch for a pair of rock-star-hip sunglasses. Rick Peterson of Scituate claims they were Tyler’s and he’s willing to part with them for $2, 500 “or best reasonable offer.”

Jennifer Lopez Appreciates Steven Tyler’s ‘Zaniness’ On ‘American Idol’

Jennifer Lopez feels really at home as one of the new faces of “American Idol.” But Lopez isn’t the only new kid on the “Idol” block: Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is also just getting his feet wet, and fans are getting used to his wacky judging style. And J.Lo appreciates her fellow judge’s “zaniness, ” as she called it.

“He’s a very spontaneous person in that sense, ” she told MTV News. “You never know what’s going to come out of his mouth, [and] probably half the show is me kind of looking at him like, ‘What? Did he just say what I think he just said?’ It’s very funny, but I enjoy every second of it — every second of the zaniness and craziness. You never know with him, and it’s awesome.”
