Steven Tyler said Haley delivered the right amount of style and sexy. Jennifer Lopez claimed she showed them a lot of different things she can do with her voice and declared Haley deserves to be there. Randy Jackson was shocked – he didn’t like it at all, calling it a karaoke performance. That was harsh.

There is a lot of soul and flavor in Haley. There’s no singer like her in the competition. The question is: can she evolve or is this it? I’d vote for Haley to stay.

Oh. No. Steven Tyler told Julie that was a wrong song choice for her! Jennifer Lopez was disappointed, but claimed Julie was more connected to the song this time. Randy Jackson said she brought nothing new, didn’t sing well and just paled in comparison to Kelly Clarkson.

2011 American Idol 10 SPOILERS: 13 Finalists

HUGE mistake! Julie had some fabulous moments during the auditions, but she blew it. Julie is most probably out of the Idol stage for good. This is sad…

Steven Tyler called her Jonesy and said she had the confidence of a queen, while Jennifer Lopez thinks she is a diva in the making (big hair, big voice and big attitude!). Randy Jackson was really impressed, saying “You’re Diana Ross, baby!”

2011 American Idol 10 SPOILERS: 13 Finalists

Ashthon owned that stage. She looks pretty comfortable up there. For a diva, I think her voice isn’t all that powerful, but that was not exactly the perfect song to show her range. Good luck, Ashthon!

The judges loved it! YES! Randy Jackson loved Lauren’s bluesy soul vibe, the power and said she could be a mix of Amy Winehouse and Florence + The Machine. Steven Tyler just loved the Lauren Turner meets Lauren Turner performance. Jennifer Lopez told her to not hold back and give it to the camera.

This girl can sing. Too bad the public hasn’t seen much of Lauren in the previous audition rounds. That was a contagious performance. Lauren deserves to be in the final Top 5 girls.

Jennifer Lopez was very pleased with Karen’s performance, claiming it gave her goose bumps. Steven Tyler loved it (of course!) and suggested Karen to join Jacob Lusk (our diva!) for a duet. Randy Jackson was pleased with the end result, saying Karen owned the song.

2011 American Idol 10 SPOILERS: 13 Finalists

Can I say “YAWN”!?! Really? Karen probably sang it pretty well, but it was boring… there were really no big high notes and it was all so contained. It was very beauty pageanty for me.

Rachel Zevita tried to spice it up a bit with a rendition of Fiona Apple’s “Criminal” at the American Idol season 10 Top 12 Girls semifinal on Wednesday (March 2)- watch video below.

Rachel is in trouble. Steven Tyler was not convinced and said it was a “little too Broadway” for him. Jennifer Lopez was frustrated and asked Rachel if that’s how she wants people to see her. Randy Jackson did not like it at all. “It didn’t work and it wasn’t great,” he said.

2011 American Idol 10 SPOILERS: 13 Finalists

Rachel is so much better than that. The vocals were terrible when she moved around the stage, but I liked the fact she tried to change the song and give it some new energy. Rachel is most probably going home and become one of the victims of Idol’s sudden death semifinals.

Kendra Chantelle delivered a sweet soulful rendition of “Impossible” by Christina Aguilera at the American Idol season 10 Top 12 Girls semifinal on Wednesday (March 2)- watch video below.

Jennifer Lopez said Kendra had to fight her way into the Top 24, but she is finally showing what she is capable of. “There’s more in you”, she said. Steven Tyler just thought she looked hot and sounded hot. Randy Jackson compliments her vibrato, which reminded him of Lauryn Hill.

2011 American Idol 10 SPOILERS: 13 Finalists

Kendra belongs in the Top 24. It’s incredible how the words come out of her mouth – she gives a deeper meaning to them with her beautiful tone. That was also a bit jazzy. Love it. Kendra has a big chance of making it into the Top 5 most voted girls tonight.

Idol’s Cinderella, Naima Adedapo, performed a jazzy rendition of “Summertime” by George Gershwin at the American Idol season 10 Top 12 Girls semifinal on Wednesday (March 2)- watch video below.

Steven Tyler loved it and compared her to an “early Ella Fitzgerald”. Jennifer Lopez liked that last note and called Naima an exotic flower who brings color to the stage. Randy Jackson thought it was a bit lounge acty and claimed to have liked the second half more than the first.

2011 American Idol 10 SPOILERS: 13 Finalists

Naima can definitely do better than this. I like her style and her colorful jazzy vibe. What really scares me is her wardrobe choices. That big yellow dress was designed by Naima herself. And I hate it! But, the color is fantastic for her.

Steven Tyler must be totally high. He said that was a beautiful way to open. Jennifer Lopez thought she started off shaky, but “brought it home”. WHAT? Did they just watch the same performance we did? Randy Jackson begged to disagree, claiming she brought nothing different to the song and it paled in comparison to Rihanna.

2011 American Idol 10 SPOILERS: 13 Finalists

What is this girl doing in the Top 24? Seriously? Ta-Tynisa is one of the contestants I cannot understand how they got this far. I don’t see anything special. No powerful voice. No style. I’ve seen karaoke singers do better than that.

MTSU Blue Raiders women’s basketball player Clantina ‘Tina’ Stewart was fatally stabbed earlier tonight in her Murfreesboro, Tennessee apartment.

The killing took place around 7:00 pm at a local apartment complex near the MTSU campus according to News Channel 5.

Police received an anonymous 911 call from Raiders Crossing Apartment on Hazelwood Street just before 7:00 p.m. Wednesday. Police said that two females assaulted Stewart. Stewart was taken to Middle Tennessee Medical Center with multiple trauma wounds, where she died from her injuries.

One suspect was arrested and taken in for questioning along with an eye witness. A second suspect escaped the scene of the crime as police officers were arriving.

UPDATE: Murfreesboro police arrested Stewart’s freshman roommate Shanterrica Madden who has been charged with 1st degree murder according to the Daily News Journal.

“There was an argument,” Murfreesboro Police Spokesman Kyle Evans said. “During that argument, Madden stabbed the victim.”

Madden describes herself on her Twitter page as: “I am a freshman at MTSU. I am a sweetheart to be around and I love my family and friends.”

Middle Tennessee State University is located in Murfreesoboro, TN and boasts an enrollment of well over 22,000 students.

A very sad day for all Blue Raiders and for the Murfreesboro community.  My personal thoughts and prayers go out to Tina’s family and friends for their loss.

Jim is alive! Jim was not even snowboarding! Jim, who was seen with a new girlfriend, Anchal Joseph, last month, is most likely enjoying the California sun at his place or playing with his grandson, Jackson Riley, son of the actor’s daughter Jane Carrey.
