American Idol's Pia Toscano from the American Idol Season 10 finalists party

Before the 10th season of American Idol began airing a month and a half ago I decided to pick one of the performers that reportedly received a Golden Ticket (There were many “spoiler” lists circulating online at the time) and do a profile.

After surfing through numerous MySpace pages and watching an endless string of audience-recorded YouTube videos I chose 21-year-old Pia Toscana from Howard Beach, New York because it seemed like she had everything it takes to attract a large fan base (an interesting story, she’s charismatic, and I concede that she is VERY attractive) and also the raw talent to actually win the competition. (CLICK HERE to see the post and read up on Pia’s background, including her mildly successful run on American Idol in Season 6.)

Pia did not disappoint! Her performance of the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand By You” Wednesday night brought the first standing ovation from the judges’ table and even inspired Randy Jackson to say it was one of the greatest performance in the ten-year history of the show. Here’s Pia’s performance of “I’ll Stand By You” in a great high-definition video clip:

ANYWAYS… Pia and the other finalists were in attendance at the American Idol finalists party at The Rooftop Parking structure at The Grove in Los Angeles, California last night and I thought I would share some photos of the mind-blowing American Idol dominator Pia Toscano from the event.

Nicki Minaj calls Steven Tyler a racist after he uses Bob Dylan to make a point

ByDarren O

Sometimes I just have to write these bad rascals up because of the wonderful pop name associations. I figured the opportunity may never come again to refer to Nicki Minaj, Steven Tyler and Bob Dylan in the same post so I better get to it before the times they start a changing. Tyler called out Minaj using Dylan as a reference and Nicki fired back via Twitter calling Tyler a racist based on his statements. Get the blow by blow that was blowing in the wind and find out why both Tyler and Minaj were way off base with their assumptions.

Former American Idol runner-up Justin Guarini says he “skips meals” so his family can eat

ByStarcasm Staff

American Idol alum Justin Guarini, who was runner up to Kelly Clarkson in the first season of the hit competition singing show, is going through a rough time. Just last Sunday he appeared on Oprah’s Where Are They Now Show describing how hard it was to experience failure after achieving pretty massive success in the world of pop music. He also took to his website this week to vent about his family not always having enough food to eat, and being terrified of his financial situation. After People magazine and other sites picked up his blog posting, he deleted it and complained on Twitter. “Obviously you completely missed the point of my letter @peoplemag,” he tweeted. “News isn’t news anymore, and I’m nowhere near poverty. #twistedmytruth’.”

ByAsa Hawks

Watch 20-year-old Casey Adams perform a version of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” from the American Idol Top 12 show earlier tonight. The judges seemed to like it, but it left my eardrums a little bloody and I can’t help but think ol Kurt Cobain rolled over in his grave a little.
