Didi Benami Voted Off American Idol 2010 March 31

Didi Benami, a 22 year old waitress from Knoxville Tennessee got kicked off American Idol Top 10 March 31 results night. The judges refused to give her their save option. Didi is very emotional about the bad news that Simon Cowell told her. Tim Urban and Katie Stevens was with her in the Bottom 3 in the R&B/Soul performances of the American Idol Top 10.

PARTY RECIPE: Kooky Kids Table

As promised at the beginning of this month of Makeover Madness, here's the recipe The Redecorators used to transform a sedate corner of our favorite local bookstore into a colorful and kooky kids table all the adults wished they had been invited to sit at. (Yes, my decorating company does events and parties, too.  For more info click here or The Redecorators link above.)
  1. Cover a bland brown wood table with a bright neon-yellow cloth (this one's a polarfleece blanket).
  2. Roll up colorful washcloths to use as napkins.
  3. Set each place with real china. Choose something modern, fun, and not too expensive, like these cartoon Blurb plates (Mmmm, Yum!, Help. Sigh...)
  4. Add flashing glasses for pizzaz and crazy curly straws for silliness.
  5. Create a centerpiece with vintage Mr. & Mrs. Potato Heads.
  6. Bring in Ikea's sturdy, thick plastic Mammut chairs of lime and blue.
  7. Give out Dr. Seuss books as party favors.
  8. Have fun!

"We just completed this brand makeover for what many consider New York City’s best skincare facial expert for celebrities. How to convey the caliber of her service? By creating a branding system and brand identity that uses the texture and materials of the stationery to do the unexpected. After all, the salon’s clients come for that, so shouldn’t the salon’s brand rise up to that standard?

“This uses foils and a very intricate embossing/debossing technique and design that would create one effect one side and another on the backside of the card since we laminated two sheets together to create this effect. The front side uses Gmund stock from Germany (the debossed side) and the backside uses Mohawk (where the embossed treatment comes to life). Numerous pressures and depths were tested to get the exact right effect and the elegance desired,” states David Brier, Chief Gravity Defyer.

The design, logo, concept, hand-lettering and “filigree” are by David Brier of DBD International, who counts Estee Lauder and Revlon amongst the firm’s client list."

Aaron Kelly Ain’t No Sunshine American Idol Top 10 March 30

Aaron Kelly is quite comfortable doing an R&B song and he's choosing "Ain't No Sunshine". I think the song is too overused in American Idol but Aaron smoothly gets through it.
Aaron Kelly Aint No Sunshine American Idol Top 10 March 30
Randy is not jumping up and down with Aaron's performance but he liked it. Same for Kara and Ellen. Simon compared him to a cupcake up with those with bigger performances for the night. Watch Aaron Kelly Aint No Sunshine American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Crystal Bowersox Midnight Train to Georgia American Idol Top 10 March 30

There's something new about Crystal Bowersox this R&B week. She's doing the classic Gladys Knight song "Midnight Train to Georgia". Crystal is wearing a stiletto and playing the piano. It's the same old Crystal Bowersox on stage - nailing the song and keeping the audience in awe of her amazing voice.
Crystal Bowersox Midnight Train to Georgia American Idol Top 10 March 30
Randy loved her version of the song. Ellen says she's showing another side of her. Kara is glad to see her take risks. Simon observed that she's overthinking the piano - he would not want to change her. Watch Crystal Bowersox Midnight Train to Georgia American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Lee Dewyze Treat Her Like A Lady American Idol Top 10 March 30

Lee Dewyze wants to show his R&B side with "Treat Her Like a Lady". As usual, Lee Dewyze delivers an impressive number, although you still can see his doubts in his face when he's on stage. But who cares? Lee Dewyze is bound to make it big.

Randy thinks it was "the bomb" and Ellen says it was an "amazing" performance. Kara says it was amazing. Simon reminds him that this was the night he's going to remember for the rest of his life. Watch Lee Dewyze Treat Her Like A Lady American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Katie Stevens Chain of Fools American Idol Top 10 March 30

Katie Stevens is doing Cha-Cha-Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin. Actually, Katie says she met Usher before. I like Katie's performance but she's kind of off-key at times for taking on a major diva song.
Katie Stevens Chain of Fools American Idol Top 10 March 30
Randy Jackson compared her to a young Christina. Ellen wanted to make the song a little current. Kara says Katie Stevens that she found her music niche. Simon thought Katie was robotic during the performance. He also disagreed that Katie is the "next Christina Aguilera". Watch Katie Stevens Chain of Fools American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Andrew Garcia Forever American Idol Top 10 March 30

Andrew Garcia is showing us his version of Forever by Chris Brown. In the practice session, Usher sees that Andrew is nervous. Watching Andrew Garcia on stage doing a complete remake of a Chris Brown song, I think there's a good vibe in the song which will put him out of danger of going home this week.
Andrew Garcia Forever American Idol Top 10 March 30
Randy Jackson exclaimed that Andrew Garcia is back and this is his best performance in a long time. Ellen Degeneres thinks it was good. Kara says it was a one giant leap. Simon tells him is he is miles,miles better. As a person, Simon says that Andrew is boring as a person. He advices him to start having a personality. Watch Andrew Garcia Forever American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance video:

Tim Urban Sweet Love American Idol Top 10 March 30

After a total diss from the judges last week, Tim Urban is singing "Sweet Love" by Anita Baker. For veteran R&B singer Usher, he saw that Tim's problem is connecting with the song. The song was okay and mostly in tune – so no disasters – he will stay for another week.
Tim Urban Sweet Love American Idol Top 10 March 30
Randy Jackson is looking for some vibe and some swagger to the song - it sounded too pedestrian. Ellen always thinks he's adorable. Kara Dioguardi took out the soul of the song. Simon thinks it makes no sense what the judges say. Smiling would make him stay for another week. Watch Tim Urban Sweet Love American Idol Top 10 March 30:

Didi Benami What Becomes of the Broken Hearted American Idol Top 10 March 30

Didi Benami is performing "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" by Jimmy Ruffin. With Usher, Didi Benami was moved into tears because she got too emotional. The performance was as forgettable, but I can see her effort struggling through the R&B night because she's not that type of singer.
Didi Benami What Becomes of the Broken Hearted American Idol Top 10 March 30
Randy didn't observe any good "moment" while she's singing - it was all flat line. Ellen did not like it either - she says its "way too dramatic". Kara is also now confused about what Didi now as artist. Simon thinks the performance is so over-the-top and Didi has lost her way. Watch Didi Benami What Becomes of the Broken Hearted American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance:

Michael Lynche Ready For Love American Idol March 30

It's definitely Michael Lynche's night in American Idol Top 10 R&B Soul Night. He's singing Ready for Love by India Arie. Usher, being the mentor, is happy to see Mike's engaging performance.
Michael Lynche Ready For Love American Idol March 30
Randy Jackson tells him that it's not very exciting but Ellen thought it was beautiful. Kara thinks he mastered singing from the heart for the audience to see his true intentions - it was lovely and it's her favorite performance for the night. Randy sees him as an oringinal artist - the performance was terrific. Watch out for Michael Lynche Ready For Love American Idol March 30 performance:

Casey James Hold On I'm Coming American Idol Top 10 March 30

Casey James tried to impress Usher with “Hold On I’m Coming” by Sam and Dave. And Usher had no qualms about it saying that this long-haired American Idol Top 10 finalist is "a rockstar".
Casey James Hold On I m Coming American Idol Top 10 March 29
Randy Jackson thinks Casey James is in his element - it was a hot night for him. Ellen Degeneres thought "it was generic" and wants to see more from him. Kara agreed that Casey James should increase his range. Simon surprisingly liked his performance and though he sound authentic. Simon is "really,really impressed". Here's Casey James Hold On I'm Coming American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance video:

Siobhan Magnus Through the Fire American Idol Top 10 March 30

Siobhan Magnus performs "Through The Fire" by Chaka Khan. It's R&B night in American Idol 2010. Usher is tonight's mentor. For the first contestant going on stage, Usher asked Siobhan what's she wearing so that he can give her styling tips.
Siobhan Magnus Through the Fire American Idol Top 10 March 29
Although I think the performance was satisfactory, the judges thought otherwise. Randy, Ellen and Kara thought that it's not Siobhan's best perfomance. Simon said the it was "all over the place". Watch Siobhan Magnus Through the Fire American Idol Top 10 March 30 performance video:
