3 Lady Idols In Danger
March 11, 2010
American Idol Season 9 contestants Katie Stevens, Paige Miles and Katelyn Epperly are in danger of not making it into this season’s top 12. All four judges are not that impressed with their performances.
Katie Stevens sang “Breakaway” and judge Randy Jackson thought it sounded close to karaoke. Kara DioGuardi thought Stevens is yet to find the kind of artist she wants to be.
19-year-old Katelyn Epperly’s rendition of “I Feel the Earth Move” didn’t impressed DioGuardi either. The lad judge thought that Epperly was just “going through the motions”. Judge Simon Cowell likened her performance to request night at a restaurant.
Paige Miles sang “Smile”. Randy thought that the song was too big for the Houston-based contestant. The way Miles interpreted the song can serve like sleep-pills. Judge Ellen Degeneres said instead of being inspired, she felt sad.
Now who among three will say goodbye to their Idol dream or does America has someone else other than these three in mind?

Michael Jackson’s Death Was Homicide
August 25, 2009
We may have initially shrugged off the idea of Michael Jackson being a homicide victim probably because we hate the fact that the king of pop was untimely taken away from us. However, the Los Angeles county coroner’s findings declares that Michael’s death was indeed homicide and may mean criminal charges for his doctor. Dr. Conrad Murray told investigators that he administered a mix of powerful drugs to treat the pop star’s insomnia hours before his death.
