‘American Idol’ Swaps Male And Female Performance Nights

Due to Crystal Bowersox’s illness, the guys will perform Tuesday and the girls will perform Wednesday. By Jocelyn Vena Photo: Michael Becker/ FOX On Tuesday (March 2), Fox announced that due to Crystal Bowersox’s medical condition that would prevent her from performing on Tuesday’s show, the 10 remaining male contestants would perform the night before the 10 remaining female contestants. The female singers are expected to perform on Wednesday instead. The 10 remaining male performers include Lee Dewyze, Andrew Garcia, Todrick Hall, Casey James, Aaron Kelly, Alex Lambert, Michael Lynche, John Park, Jermaine Sellers and Tim Urban. The 10 remaining girls include Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox, Lacey Brown, Michelle Delamor, Katelyn Epperly, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Lilly Scott, Katie Stevens and Haeley Vaughn. On Thursday’s show Danny Gokey, who was a season-eight finalist, is scheduled to perform his new single “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me” and fans will find out the next two contestants to be sent home. “I think a girl’s gonna take it,” judge Randy Jackson told MTV News . “I think the talent’s bigger this season with the girls. I think they came in better, more prepared and they probably were at home saying, ‘God, every season a boy wins. What happened to the girls?’ [Last season] Alison Iraheta was a great singer. She’s got a great voice. She’s got a big career ahead of her.” Despite the fact that the boys have triumphed the past two seasons, Jackson said the ladies’ post-“Idol” career choices have been a bit more solid. “Could it be that the girls are making better choices than the boys, or could it be the girls know who they are and have listened to us and [then] gone off the show and made better choices?” he asked. “Life is about choices.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Alicia Keys Explains Why Love Is Theme Of The Element of Freedom

‘It’s the one thing we can all understand,’ singer told Gotham magazine. By Hillary Crosley Alicia Keys on the cover of the March issue of Gotham magazine Photo: Niche Media LLC In addition to announcing her North American tour dates on Friday, Alicia Keys recently posed for the cover of Gotham magazine’s spring issue, which hits stands March 1. Keys donned two looks in the photo shoot, one a green drop-neck gown accented with a gold collar necklace, the other a light blue one-shoulder dress complimented with a head wrap. The New York native talked with the publication about the changes in her old neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen, as well as love as the theme for her new album, The Element of Freedom. “When I was growing up, [Hell’s Kitchen] was way darker, more dismal and more like the place where all the outcasts lived,” recalls Keys. “So now, to see it more like a tourist destination is really interesting. Even though Eighth Avenue was supergrungy with drug needles, Broadway always had those bright lights and it did always have endless possibilities.” As compared with the subject matter of her previous three albums, Songs in A Minor, The Diary of Alicia Keys and As I Am, Element focuses quite a bit on love, relationships and sustaining courtship’s spark against all odds. “Love does play a prominent role in the album because I believe love is the most important thing in the world,” Keys said. “It’s the one thing we can all understand.” Keys recently filmed a clip for her duet with fellow R&B powerhouse Beyonc

Method Man Wants Next Solo Album To Be ‘My Classic LP’

‘I feel like I have to prove myself to myself,’ MC says of upcoming The Crystal Meth. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Steven Roberts Method Man Photo: MTV News Method Man has been in a collaborative state of mind lately, after last year’s The Blackout 2 with Redman and the forthcoming Wu-related effort with Raekwon and Ghostface — but the MC is still a soloist at heart. He’s working on his new album The Crystal Meth, and the Def Jam star has his sights set high in terms of output, aiming for a classic on his next opus. “I just want my classic,” he told MTV News. “People always say, ‘You already got a classic first LP,’ but not to me. I want my classic LP, the five-mic-er for myself. Not based on The Source ‘s five mics but a five-mic-er to myself. I don’t feel like I have to prove myself to anybody. But I feel like I have to prove myself to myself. “It’s like when your child brings home an 80 on a test,” he continued. “That’s a good grade, but you know they can do better.” The Crystal Meth will be the veteran rapper’s fifth solo album and first since 2006’s 4:21 … The Day After. Method Man is currently promoting his joint project with Rae and Ghost and the trio recently shot a video in New York for the lead single “Our Dreams.” The three are set to travel overseas soon where Method Man will start writing more for his forthcoming effort. He told MTV News he only makes solo albums now because his fans keep calling for them . “This is the most comfortable I’ve been in my whole career, because I don’t have all those obligations that I’ve had before,” Meth explained. “You know, doing the Wu-Tang, then the Wu-Tang solo projects, then my project, then me and Redman. Right now, I can do it at my own leisure. Honestly, I don’t want to make an album by myself, but it’s something that’s required, and the fans want that, so I’m gonna do that.” Related Artists Method Man
