Steven Tyler said Paul defines “a cool dude in a loose mood” (whatever that means!). Jennifer Lopez praised him for his style, soul and star quality. Randy Jackson thought it was a bit pitchy and ordered him to get the notes right.

You heard the Dawg. Paul was sick. I expected more from Paul, but his raspy voice and incredible attitude on stage totally made up for some pitchiness here and there. Paul really enjoys being on stage and performing for an audience. Love it.

Naima Adedapo delivered a poor performance of Tina Turner’s 1984 hit “What’s Love Got To Do With It” at the American Idol season 10 Top 12 live show dedicated to songs from the contestants’ birth year on Wednesday (March 16)- watch video below.

Steven Tyler cannot speak the truth when confronted with the contestants. Ugh. He says it’s beautiful. Jennifer Lopez finally understood Naima has serious pitch problems and Randy Jackson said the vocals were all over the place. Naima defends herself claiming “it’s all about feelings” to her.

Emotions won’t take Naima very far, if she really wants to be singer. This was probably her worst performance on the show. It was horrible. And it looks like she is making this huge effort to hit the high notes and that should come naturally. Naima is in danger!

Adam and James have power voices and presences on stage. They sound and look so much alike. James actually admires Adam, but he does not want to be compared to the Idol alum because he wants to be able to have his own style, personality and vibe as an artist.

James said, “I’m kind of tired of answering that question. We’re completely different people stylistically, tone-wise. The only similarity that we have is the high note. … He put his foot in the door; I want to try and put my foot straight through the door. He did some rock, I liked it. I want to do some metal like Iron Maiden, ACDC, Ozzy, Sabbath.”

Adam and James finally had the chance to meet and hit it off during the last American Idol live results show last week. They even posed for a picture together and Adam is a confessed fan of James. OH. Idol LOVE! Love them both!

According to OK!, Kim has already picked her wedding dress designer – it’s Vera Wang! A source close to the couple claims everybody is expecting them to finally make a big engagement announcement and set the date for their dream wedding. Kim will be the biggest Bridezilla ever!

“She’s in love!” testifies a close pal in the new issue of OK! “Kim falls fast and hard, and this time is no exception. Kris makes her laugh, gives her confidence, makes her smile and just feel really loved — all things that are important to Kim in a relationship. Plus, with Kris, things are different.
