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.

VIDEOS PHOTOS Skylar Laine from American Idol 11

ByDarren O

Houston, we don’t have a problem! The pretty gal you see is Miss Skylar Laine from Brandon, Mississippi. She’s a down home southern girl with a country twang and a Broadway background. She’s also a songwriter and has what you might consider to be an unhealthy Miranda Lambert obsession. I thought I’d put together a few pics and her bio as well as a couple of videos in one place so you can get a good idea of who Skylar is and decide for yourself if you think she’s got a chance to become the next American Idol.
