In a statement about his decision to leave the show, Steve said, “It’s time to bring rock back.”
He added, “I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go of my mistress American Idol before she boils my rabbit…
“I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I’m back – but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band.” Read more & comment »

This week’s American Idol bottom two was a close call and anyone who watched the show this week, would know that it was a tough choice when it came to picking who should leave the hit talent series this week.
After a few less than wonderful or awe inspiring weeks on the show, this time round, the top nine all shone and really went to town with their recent performances and we have to admit that for the first time in a long time, we wanted the judges to cancel elimination all together for one week at least.
We were surprised when Jessica Sanchez chose to do ‘I Will Always Love You’ on last night’s American Idol show. It wasn’t just any Whitney Houston song….it was THE biggest Whitney Houston song of all time.

“She will be here on March 6 and stay at a suburban five-star. Due to her rehearsals, they will ensure her hotel is not too far away from the venue.”
