Tim Urban, 20, from Duncanville, TX smiled for the last time on the big Idol stage Wednesday night. Tim, who was first cut from the show, then asked to return, took a beating from most of the judges every week. He earned the nickname Teflon Tim because no matter critique he received from the judges, he kept on smiling.
Urban leaves the show with a positive attitude stating "I love music, that's what I love, but I've always had a desire to act and just be in that side of the entertainment industry, so I would be really excited if I got the chance to be on that side as well. I'm really just excited about the whole thing."
Good luck, Tim. I'm sure your great personality and smile will take you far in life.
American Idol presented it's fifth annual "Idol Gives Back" show last night. The show managed to raise a staggering $15 million dollars during the two hours in which it aired. The money raised will benefit the following charities: The Children's Health Fund, Feeding America, Malaria No More, Save The Children and The United Nations Foundation.The show featured musical artists include Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, The Black Eyed Peas, Annie Lennox, Mary J. Blige, Jeff Beck & Joss Stone. As always, Underwood gave a perfect and heart felt live performance. Alicia Keys, however, sounded nothing like her recordings and the performance left much to be desired. Using the show and the judges as subject matter for their acts, comedian's George Lopez and Wanda Sykes had me "busting a gut" during their guest spots on the show.I am thrilled that Idol Gives Back focused a bit more on the problems within the United States considering one in five children live in poverty within this country. After all, it is Americans that watch, vote and donate. All of which have made the show an astounding success. DONATE
The hit series 'GLEE' aired on Fox network last night. The show focused on empowering women, and who better to showcase "girl power" than Madonna. The show featured several hits by Madonna in
cluding: 'Like a Virgin, 'Open Your Heart', 'Like A Prayer' and 'Express Yourself.
Jane Lynch, who plays the part of Sue, cheerleader coach for the 'Cheerios', is featured in the video link above. The video is a rendition of Madonna's 1990 hit 'Vogue'. The video features Lynch as Madonna. "I am so very proud of that video" Lynch said.
Lynch's character brings many laughs to the show with her "tell it like it is" attitude". I have been a fan of 'GLEE' since the first episode and am thrilled the show depicts the importance music and teamwork can bring to our youths.
