The top 3 singers on American Idol season 10 each got to perform 3 songs last night – 1 being their choice, another being Jimmy Iovine’s choice and the last being a judge’s choice. For the first round (singer’s choice), Scotty McCreery sang “Amazed”; Lauren Alaina did “Wild One”; and Haley Reinhart performed “What is & What should Never Be”. All 3 judges agreed that round 1 was for Haley. For the second round (Jimmy’s pick), Scotty sang “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not”; Lauren sang “If I Die Young”; and Haley did “Rhiannon”. Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez give this round to Scotty while Steven Tyler votes for Lauren. For the last round, Scotty did “She Believes in Me”; Lauren sang “I Hope You Dance”; and Haley did “You Oughta Know”. Who do you think will be going home tonight?

Steven Tyler recently released his first solo track off of his upcoming album. However, the rock singer admitted that the song, “(It) Feels So Good”, was originally penned for his band Aerosmith. The rest of the crew turned it down though. Steven reveals that he’s had the song written for a few years and when he brought it to his band mates, they just didn’t like it so it got tossed. Steven explained “I wrote the song at the Sunset Marquis hotel in Los Angeles a few years ago. I swear it’s going to be a hit. I can hear it coming out of people’s cars this summer. I’m a fool for melody, man. I’ve got to have melody. I miss it, and there it is.” There’s a reason the rest of Aerosmith decided to toss it but it’s Steven’s solo career so he can take whatever risk he wants to take.

Steven Tyler – (It) Feels So Good – Lyrics
Something cool went down
As I was walking with a friend of mine
And I, I still remember,
How she was smelling like the summer time
And oh, how it changed my mind
Changed everything, about that, come on girl
It feels so good, loving you
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, and I need oxygen,
Little bit of heaven doin’ 24-7 again
Yeah, again and again
Like I was sayin’
My little cupid was real super freak
By the time that I came down
I’ll get locked up in a room for a week
And oh, how she changed my mind
Changed everything about this crazy world
It feels so good, loving you
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, yeah and by the way
Little bit of heaven 24-7 times a day
A long hair
A double dare
And I swear
A Little bit will do you some good
Say where
I’m goin’ there
And I swear
Can’t get enough of you, oh yeah yah
Ma bonsoir
Excuse moi
Ya oh la la
Is gonna doing to me good
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, it feels so good, loving you (loving you)
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, yeah I need oxygen
Little bit of heaven doin’ 24-7 ah
Oh yeah, it feels so good, loving you (loving you)
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, lovin’ you (loving you)
It feels so good, making love to you
Uh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah eah

If I had any doubts that the judges’ save drama from last week’s American Idol was staged, they were crushed in the first minute of last night’s episode. Ryan asked the contestants last about the judges’ save like they already knew it was going to be used. I was offended then and I’m offended now. Pimping out Casey Abrams excessively is so unfair and definitely overkill. I’m also creeped out by Ryan’s obviously botox-treated face and highly annoyed at Jennifer Lopez’s constant interruption of Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler during their critiques. Speaking of Steven, I’m beginning to think that he’s the useless judge this season. He’s just not giving any solid advice.

After being the very first American Idol contestant to use a stand-up bass as an instrument, Casey Abrams has once again broken new ground by singing Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. Last night’s American Idol episode was all about songs from the contestant’s year of birth so Casey Abrams made a very interesting and unique choice. He also used a bass on stage. As for the performance itself, Casey Abrams is definitely no Kurt Cobain and his rendition wasn’t really one hundred percent accurate, but he did manage to get into the spirit of things and that seems to have counted a lot with the judges. Steven Tyler actually said that Casey Abrams is “so crazy, so good and so talented and that is the perfect match”.

For last night’s American Idol episode contestant Lauren Alaina chose for her personal idol performance Shania Twain’s “Any Man of Mine”. It seems that even though Lauren Alaina did a pretty good job with the song, that’s all it was: a pretty good performance. The judges were expecting something more extraordinary and that was their main point of criticism. Steven Tyler however did seem to be on Lauren Alaina’s side more then the others. It does look like this was her first slip-up of the season, but hopefully this won’t hinder her chances of making it to the end of the show.

The show recently had auditions in San Francisco, California and apparently they hit a pretty big jackpot there as well. It seems that a lot of the contestants had their own tragic life stories and among them there was James Durbin. He’s unfortunately diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome and Asperger’s Syndrome and his father died when he was only nine years old. But to top it all off he has a very broadly ranging voice and a loving family and his rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “You Shook Me” almost blew the judges off of their seats. He also did Aerosmith’s “Drive On” which impressed Steven Tyler a lot so it was an all yes from the judges and James Durbin might just be another important figure to look out for on the race for the next American Idol prize.

Or at least this is his daughter’s opinion… no, not Liv Tyler, his other daughter, Mia Tyler. Apparently she thinks that Steven Tyler is what American Idol has been missing for a very long time. This is what Mia Tyler had to say about her dad being a judge on the show: “He’s the funniest man I know. He’s saving the show because it was kind of boring before. There’s only so many times you can watch Simon be mean to people.” So it’s clear… the fan base is polarized: there are those who couldn’t stand Simon Cowell and those who watched the show just because he was there. Well, Steven Tyler surely is a refreshing change to how the show was being done so far.
Check a few auditions from the American Idol aired last night, there is a new contestant btw she is my favorite named Lauren Alaina, she is AWESOME!

If the reports are true that Steven Tyler will become part of the new panel of judges on American Idol, the rock singer will have a crazy schedule travelling the country on top of his band being on tour all over the country. Aerosmith is currently in the middle of a nationwide tour and its scheduled to roll through the end of September. If you know your timelines, that puts it long after the production begins on the reality TV talent show. A rep for the band still wont confirm that Steven is locked up for AI but she did say that no matter what The Aerosmith tour will continue on for its full scheduled run with Steven Tyler.
Even though they were on the verge of breaking up some time ago, it seems that the tour the guys from Aerosmith have planned is still on the roll and in addition to their European dates, the band is planning a few American shows as well. This is what their still acting front man, Steven Tyler, had to say on the matter: Were gonna rock you into the middle of next week! Interesting Aerosmith concerts in the middle of the week some might take a dim view of that, but hey, every lame-ass rock band concerts in the week-end. Aerosmith are just being their special selves.
Steven Tyler went to Palm Desert karaoke bar after he got released from rehab. Though Aerosmith has announced that their lead singer won?t be performing with the band for the time being, no one ever said that he couldn?t sing some of their music by himself. Steven showed up and sang the hit ?I Don?t Want to Miss a Thing? after two other drunks got booed off with their versions of the song. The place went nuts for Steven and the DJ recalls it being an unforgettable moment. People in the audience also said that Steven was very gracious and kind.
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has checked into a rehab clinic for pain management and an addiction to prescription painkillers.
The 61-year-old singer, who developed an addiction to the lethal pills after performing for 10 years with crippling injuries, released his own statement Tuesday.
It said: “With the help of my family and team of medical professionals, I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio with my bandmates Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford.
“I love Aerosmith; I love performing as the lead singer in Aerosmith. I am grateful for all of the support and love I am receiving and am committed to getting things taken care of.”
The hell-raising star has suffered with orthopedic injuries for the best part of a decade that leave him in “severe chronic pain” and will require surgeries on his knees and feet, revealed Dr Brian McKeon.
“Managing and controlling his pain has been challenging, and despite our use of alternative therapies and the creation of custom shoes built by a team of engineers from Timberland, Steven’s pain has progressed,” Dr McKeon said.
“The balance between managing his pain and avoiding addiction is tenuous and difficult and his bravery in persevering through rigorous touring is admirable.”
Aerosmith were on the brink of splitting after Tyler’s bandmates expressed their concern for his well-being after he fell off a stage and broke his shoulder back in August.
The first-ever items to be auctioned off by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler – including his boxer shorts – have been revealed.
The legendary rocker has donated clothing and memorabilia to raise money for the MusiCares MAP fund, which helps musicians in their recovery from addictions.
The items to be auctioned off in New York include a Betsey Johnson pinstripe black suit, which is expected to sell for $600, and a Helen David English Eccentrics shirt, which is expected to fetch $800.
Two pairs of Tyler’s boxer shorts, one reading Light My Fire, are also going under the hammer and are expected to sell for more than $200.
Also up for auction on 21 November are signed guitars belonging to Ronnie Wood and Paul McCartney, and guitars hand-painted by Carly Simon, David Lee Roth and others.
Steven Tyler has quit Aerosmith, according to the group’s guitarist, Joe Perry.
The singer has said he is ready to work on solo material, and the rest of the band are now said to be considering their options.
Perry said: “Steven quit as far as I can tell. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever.”
Perry also tells the Las Vegas Sun that Tyler often refuses to talk to other band members.
He added: “He’s notorious for that. That’s one thing I’ve learned to live with. I try to overlook it. I like to pick my battles.
“Frankly, the last few months I’ve been wanting not to rock the boat. I don’t want him cancelling any more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We just kind of didn’t want to get him any more p***ed off, for whatever reason.”
With Steven Tyler out with a serious injury, Aerosmith is left without a lead singer and thus will not be finishing up their tour this summer. The band released a statement apologizing to fans and explaining the situation saying ?Due to injuries Steven Tyler sustained last week when he fell from the stage during a concert in Sturgis, South Dakota, doctors have advised the lead singer to take the time to properly recuperate from the accident that resulted in a broken shoulder and stitches to his head.? Guitarist Joe Perry added to that statement saying ?Words can’t express the sadness I feel for having to cancel this tour. We hope we can get the Aerosmith machine up and running again as soon as possible.?
