Check this kid out rockin’ on Randy Houser’s “Boots On.”

I am seeing dollar signs in this kid’s future. He is going to hit it bigger than Taylor Swift. As soon as he is old enough to not need a high chair, he’ll probably move to Nashville.

American Idol heartthrob Kris Allen performed “All She Wants To Do Is Dance”.

He did performed with a guitar surrounded by the audience.

This guys is a good singer but I thought this song was pure nonsense. Not a good song choice and the judges agreed with me - yes, I actually called it first!

The women votes will get him through no problem.

Watch his video below:

Anoop Dogg! He sang “True Colors”.

A brilliant song choice. I am glad this guy is back in the running. He really does shine more in the softer songs and I thought it showcased his great vocals.

Too bad he said something back to the judges last week but at least he apologized to Kara.

Watch Anoop’s performance below:

According to BBC news, Rock guitarist Joe Satriani has filed a lawsuit against the Grammy nominated band Coldplay for using one of his riffs for the song Viva La Vida.

The alleged plaguiarism is from his 2004 instrumental “If I Could Fly”.

I am a big fan of Joe Satriani’s music and I can only hope that he gets his share of the profits from the sales of La Vida songs. That song has been a steady chart topper and has probably made Coldplay quite a few bucks.

Coldplay is up for 7 Grammys including song of the year.

Go ahead and listen for yourself and tell me if Satch got ripped off:
