IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 3 Results (5/19/10)
Tonight's results show proves to be one of the most anticlimactic in recent memory (like on the same level of Season 7). Thus, it's only fitting that we all join tonight's blogcast to point and yawn at its events together. If all else fails, at least we have Justin Bieber to perform not one, but TWO songs! Everywhere cheer with me now...
To see who I everyone predicts will be leaving tonight, see here. And as usual, please feel free to add your two cents throughout the one-hour blogcast. Coverage starts just prior to 9 p.m. ET.
Tonight's blogcast features the music of Amy Krebs, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Elliott Yamin and Haley Scarnato.

IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 9 Results (4/7/10)
Tonight's results will either be very boring or very annoying (if the judges use their cursed "save" gimmick). Hopefully neither happen and we get some excitement going, but short of Rihanna performing "Te Amo," it doesn't look like that will be happening.
Also, word on the street is that Clay Aiken will be performing as well, but I'll believe that when I see him walk out onto the stage. Scratch that, David Archuleta will perform "Imagine" (ugh) and Jason Derulo will sing "In My Head."
To see who I predict will be leaving tonight, see here. Please feel free to add your two cents throughout the one-hour blogcast, with coverage starting just prior to 9 p.m. ET.
Tonight's blogcast features the music of Alexandrea Lushington, Daughtry, David Cook, Felicia Barton and Haley Scarnato.

Flashback: Haley Scarnato's "Tell Him"
Over the course of her stay on Idol's sixth season, Haley Scarnato was never really able to excite the judges with her singing abilities. She was, however, able to raise a few eyebrows in addition to generating a few positive comments when she kicked off "British Invasion" night on Top 11 week. Relive the moment below:
This night marked the beginning of the "leg fascination" that swept the nation, which stayed with (or haunted) Haley until she left the show during "Latin" night on Top 8 week. Although she could never live the legs thing down, Haley's display here was one of the most memorable moments of the season.

Jordin, Haley to be bridesmaids at Gina's wedding tomorrow
It's going to be a mini Season 6 reunion tomorrow at the Naper Settlement chapel in Naperville, Ill. Gina Glocksen will wed her fiance, Joe Ruzicka, while Jordin Sparks and Haley Scarnato will fill two of the eight bridesmaid spots.
Gina had originally asked Jordin and Haley to fulfill the roles back during the Idol Tour last year, on which Gina got engaged to Ruzicka in Aug. 2007. Unsurprisingly, the two have kept their word. Gina is definitely appreciative giving the date of the wedding. She told The South Town Star:
"New Year's Eve is one day you can't ask a performer to take off."Jordin and Gina will also perform at the reception at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. As for other Season 6 alums that may attend, look out for Chris Richardson and LaKisha Jones to be among the 300 expected guests.

Poll of the week: Cook is undisputed champ
In a poll of the week that was set up to be a battle of the ages amongst the 12 most admired Idol finalists of all seven seasons in the eyes of IDOL LIVE readers, one fan base surely did not disappoint. Just days into the voting, the two-week competition was proving to be promising as David Archuleta and David Cook were neck and neck with 48% of the vote on Aug. 30. But things quickly deteriorated for the Arch Angels, most likely because of a slew of competitive polls that were preoccupying them. But that's no excuse for completely giving up on the poll, and the Word Nerds were able to capitalize. It's not like they were the only ones that had access to the MOAB or robo-voting.
As for the poll's results, the numbers tell the story. Cook garnered a gargantuan sum of 105,019 votes, good for 82% of the total take. Arch on the other hand was only able manage 22,075 votes, or 17% of the total vote. Of the poll's 10 other finalists none were able to manage 100 votes, although Chris Daughtry came close with 97. There were even two finalists who failed to muster a single vote over the entire two weeks - Stephanie Edwards and Melissa McGhee - which begs the question of how they got to the champion poll in the first place.
Despite the lopsided result, the total of votes was the most impressive tally to date for an IDOL LIVE poll of the week, especially compared to the previous poll's total of 12 votes. For all the milestones achieved from this poll, IDOL LIVE would like to say...way to go D-C.org! And thanks to the Arch fans that also gave the poll a shot.
Moving on, for this week's poll of the week we ask readers to vote for their choice of a fourth judge if they could have picked anyone other than Kara DioGuardi to add as a fourth judge from the selection of eight different females from the music industry. You have exactly one week to vote.
David Cook 105,019 (82%)
David Archuleta 22,075 (17%)
Elliott Yamin 57 (0%)
Chris Daughtry 97 (0%)
Brooke White 6 (0%)
Kellie Pickler 26 (0%)
Kristy Lee Cook 18 (0%)
Haley Scarnato 1 (0%)
Chikezie 5 (0%)
Stephanie Edwards 0 (0%)
Melissa McGhee 0 (0%)
Total votes: 127,304 (IDOL LIVE record)

Carmen Rasmusen and husband expecting
Carmen is currently starring in the "America's Favorite Finalists" show at The Grand Palace in Branson, Mo., with other alums Brandon Rogers (Season 6), Haley Scarnato (Season 6), RJ Helton (Season 1), Scott Savol (Season 4) and Vonzell Solomon.
Carmen told ReserveBranson.com that the most memorable aspect of being on Idol was the fact that she was a role model to many young girls:
“That has meant more to me than any amount of money or fame — to know that maybe I’ve influenced someone in the way that I’ve lived my life. Some people might say they don’t want to be in an example, but like it or not, we are in the spotlight. To me that’s the neatest thing,”
So which Idol alum will be the next to announce that she is with child? For the record, IDOL LIVE's money is on Juanita Barber.

Keeping up with Chris Sligh
Aside from releasing an album since wrapping up his stint on Idol, Chris has performed at the 2008 Dove Awards with fellow alums Phil Stacey and Season 5's Mandisa.
Chris has also been known to stir the pot, as he created a controversy in late 2007 by posting about the breakup between eighth-place finalist Haley Scarnato and her fiance, Bobby, on votefortheworst.com. Although he said he was doing it to stick up for Haley, it came across to many as airing their dirty laundry, especially considering it was coming from someone close to her. The following is a sampling of the post:
"Breaking up with Bobby was the incredibly best thing that Haley could've done and knowing what I know, I'm telling you, there was no other option. And just so there's no confusion, Haley paid for the engagement ring...the ring Bobby bought her was a small, less expensive ring and after she got off the show, she bought a more expensive ring (I know that sounds bad, but I'm putting it into perspective - she bought it with her money).
Bobby was a jerk, and I'm being incredibly, incredibly kind by saying that"
Running Back to You will be available everywhere, and at Target for $9.99 beginning tomorrow.

Keeping up with Haley Scarnato
When Haley returned to American Idol Extra in March, she faced tough questions from host JD Roberto, who asked her about a possible relationship with runner-up Blake Lewis, to which she said "next question!" after appearing flustered. She performed the Roy Orbison classic "Crying" on the show.
Haley has sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at many events, including the third game of the western conference semifinals between her hometown San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns, the 2008 NHL Final Four and at Sea World's 20th Anniversary in San Antonio, Tex.
Haley's new single, "Girls Night Out," was posted for sale on her official Web site, along with a studio version of "Crying." A clip of "Girls" has been posted on Haley's official music MySpace. She is signed with T.H.E. Records and expects her debut album, tentatively titled StrongHeart, to be out sometime this year.
