'Idol' odds 'n ends: Syesha Mercado performs on 'Wendy Williams'

The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:

>Syesha Mercado performed with her co-stars of the national tour of the musical Dreamgirls on Wednesday on The Wendy Williams Show. Watch a clip of the appearance below:



The tour kicks off at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y., tomorrow night, where it will run until Sun., Dec. 6. It will close 13 cities later in Philadelphia, Pa., on June 27, 2010.

>Kris Allen's music video for his single "Live Like We're Dying" premiered this morning on AOL's PopEater blog. Watch the video below:



About the video, Kris told PopEater at first it was "frustrating" that people "weren't getting it" during the production process about the vision for the video, but they were finally able to come up with a product everyone was satisfied with.

>Carrie Underwood stopped by Live with Regis and Kelly yesterday to perform for and chat with the show's co-hosts about her "brute" (aka Regis-speak for Carrie's boyfriend Mike Fisher) among other things. Watch her perform "Cowboy Casanova" below:



One of the funniest parts of the interview came when Carrie was asked if she knew how to skate. When she responded "no," she was asked if she was going to attempt to learn how to skate, which she followed up with another frank "no."

>Jason Castro's album might have been delayed until early next year, but he was in a cheerful mood last weekend when he proposed to his girlfriend. According to an article on ACESHowbiz:
Jason and Mandy are said to have been dating since 2008, but have known each other since high school. The twosome dressed as Beauty and the Beast on Halloween. He got down on his knees when he proposed to her and presented her with a ring. Besides, the singer also carved "Marry Me?" into a pumpkin.
Jason's single "Let's Just Fall In Love Again" is now available to purchase on iTunes.

>Danny Gokey premiered his new single "It's Only" on Milwaukee's country radio station 106.1 FM. Listen to the single below:



According to MJs, the song was written by Dave and Charles from Lady Antebellum and will be available to download on Tues., Dec. 14.
