Move over, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez. Ace Young just stole your spotlight. About a half hour prior to American Idol announcing its season 11 champion tonight, Young and Diana DeGarmo – who met during a production of Hair – were called on to the stage by Ryan Seacrest. Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo Get Engaged on American Idol Finale Young then got down on one knee, and in a proposal/product placement for Dave Webb Jewelry, said to his live-in girlfriend: “I want to make this last forever, and I will do anything in my power to have the most amazing life together, if you will have me.” Through tears, DeGarmo accepted! “I’m so speechless right now,” she said after Young put the engagement ring on her finger. “My makeup’s running!” Diane finished second on the third season of Idol in 2004, while Young placed seventh on season five. Congrats to the happy couple!

American Idol Results: Who Won?

Posted on May 24, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Following a record 132 million votes, performances from Neil Diamond, Rihanna and Aerosmith and a proposal , American Idol crowned a season 11 champion tonight. Was it ballad singer extraordinaire Jessica Sanchez? Or Dave Matthews prototype Phillip Phillips? Unlike Ryan Seacrest, we won’t keep you in suspense for very long. The winner is… American Idol Winner: Announced! PHILLIP PHILLIPS! Not exactly a shocker, huh? The guitar-playing crooner was considered a favorite from his very first audition, considering his similar qualities to every other American Idol champion of the past five seasons. Jessica appeared genuinely happy for Phillip upon hearing the announcement, as Ryan handed Phillip his guitar, Phillips took the crowd ” Home ” and eventually dissolved into tears, heading into the crowd to hug his parents. Did Phillip Phillips deserve to win?

Lauren Froderman Wins So You Think You Can Dance

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

So You Think You Can Dance ended its season finale last night with two broken hearts, one dancer $250,000 richer and everyone in need of a crash cart. The three finalists – Kent Boyd, Lauren Froderman and Robert Roldan – danced eight routines between them, and the All-Stars got quite the workout, too. When the votes came in, Lauren was the winner. The 18-year-old cheerleader from Phoenix, Ariz., pulled a modest upset over Kent, the judges’ and fans’ golden boy from the first audition of the season. “There’s a ton of things I’d like to say,” said Lauren, battling shock, laughter and tears as her name was announced over Kent’s (Robert was ousted first). “But I can’t!” AMERICA’S FAVORITE DANCER : Lauren Froderman deserved the honor! Despite being the only female dancer in the show’s top six this year, Lauren proved week after week that she was a force to be reckoned with, even against Kent. She couldn’t be confined to one particular genre and managed to be sexy, feminine and technically proficient in ways most dancers, even elite ones, struggle to. One awesome, random surprise of the So You Think You Can Dance finale ? Ellen DeGeneres filling in for the injured Alex Wong to get down with some hip-hop. The woman loves to dance. Wonder if there’s something to the fact that producer Nigel Lythgoe is returning to American Idol , which Ellen just left the panel of. In any case, congratulations again to Lauren (and Kent and Robert)!
