One of the entertainment world’s most popular and beloved couples, Beyonce and Jay-Z, celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary – on 4/4 no less. The ultra-private music moguls launched a special Tumblr page on Thursday, featuring personal pics, and Beyonce also re-launched Beyonce (dot) com. Here’s one of the never-before-seen Jay-Z and Beyonce pictures they posted. Besides an artful gallery of stylish photos, the multi-media site includes sections on Bey’s music catalog, upcoming concert dates, latest news and more. Somewhat unexpectedly, the power couple’s first foray into Tumblr came earlier this year, shortly after the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy Carter . When she turned four weeks old, Jay-Z and Beyonc
Have you ever wondered who handles the huge, ridiculously scandalous crises for politicians, sports stars and all the headline-grabbing A-list celebs and musicians? Look no further than Washington, D.C.-based crisis communications consultant Olivia Pope played by actress Kerry Washington. Multi-faceted visionary and creator of such wildly popular shows such as ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice , Shonda Rhimes has set her latest drama in the world of Washington D.C. politics in the new show. Leading lady Kerry Washington stars as crisis management expert Olivia Pope, known as a professional “fixer” inspired by a real Black woman named Judy Smith, who is infamously known as the behind the scenes “fixer” for “Yayo and Hoes” lovin’ Mayor Marion Barry’s drug bust. Washington, leads the cast of investigators, high-powered lawyers and “movers of shakers” that includes Columbus Short, Guiilermo Diaz as well as ABC’s Lost actor Henry Ian Cusick’s return to the small screen. Here’s a quick summary: “Pope dedicates her life to protecting and defending the public images of our nation’s elite. After leaving the White House, the power consultant opened her own firm, hoping to start a new chapter—both professionally and personally—but she can’t seem to completely cut ties with her past.” You will never look at scandals the same way again. Scandal premieres April 5 on ABC at 10|9c p.m.
We count down our favorite Batman rides, in The Weekly Rising. By Kevin P. Sullivan The Batmobile Photo: AFP/ Getty Images Warner Bros. recently shot a bonus feature from the eventual Blu-ray release of “The Dark Knight Rises” (early, I know!) that featured all five Batmobiles from the movies, starting with Adam West’s Lincoln to Christopher Nolan’s Tumbler. The video makes for a cool stunt, seeing all the vehicles in one place, but it also provides insight into just how different the Batmobiles have been over the years — so much so that it begs the question: Which Batmobile was best? Here is our countdown of the top five Batmobiles from the movies: 5. “Batman and Robin” Joel Schumacher ‘s run as the director of the Batman series brought around the two worst Batmobiles by far. Both cars stand as perfect symbols of everything that was wrong with the director’s take on the Caped Crusader. They are both too over-the-top to actually function as vehicles, in the same way that Schumacher’s Batman simply doesn’t work. But of the two, the painful swirling light of the final Schumacher Batmobile from “Batman and Robin” remains the worst Batmobile of all time. The one-seater looks like an oversized Happy Meal toy, and the convertible design puts the Bat out in the open air where everyone can make fun of him. 4. “Batman Forever” The first Schumacher Batmobile gets a pass simply because it’s not as bad as the one from “Batman and Robin.” The enormous fins remain, but the body doesn’t extend nearly as far out. It also gets the added benefit of a closed cabin, so Batman can hide his shame from behind the privacy of tinted windows. At the very best, the “Batman Forever” Batmobile wins the losers bracket. 3. “Batman: The Movie” The Batmobile that Adam West drove during his stint as Batman on the television series and in the 1966 film is the only one of the Dark Knight’s cars that actually looks like a car. Completed in three weeks, the original Batmobile was made from a modified 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car. West’s Batmobile scores points now for a retro style that can’t be beat and just the right amount of camp. 2. “Batman” and “Batman Returns” Admittedly, this is the ride that inspired the two worst Batmobiles ever, but Tim Burton’s take on the Bat vehicle has a certain charm to it. Burton’s films in the series had a look all their own, but they never quite went over-the-top insane like Schumacher’s, and the same applies to his Batmobile. It had the same long body but had a more refined and battle-ready look to it. As impractical as it probably was, the Burton Batmobile was badass in its own way. 1. “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises” Is there really any other choice? The Tumbler not only fits the realistic take on the series, but it also could eviscerate any and all other Batmobiles. Did I mention that his has a motorcycle hidden inside the front of it? How about the newly added flight feature? It may have been meant originally for building bridges, but all the Tumbler ended up doing was being the toughest ride the streets of Gotham has ever seen. It’s only fitting that the greatest iteration of Batman gets the all-around best version of his car. Which is your favorite Batmobile? Let me know on Twitter via @KPSull!

Teams Blake and Christina hit the stage as audience voting begins on ‘The Voice.’ By John Mitchell Jesse Campbell on “The Voice” Photo: NBC After weeks of blind auditions and battle rounds, “The Voice” finally went live Monday night (April 2), with Teams Blake and Christina taking the stage. America now gets to vote on the best of the best, and the top three from each team will move on to the next round. Twenty-four contestants survived the blind auditions and brutal battle rounds to make it to the live shows, and now their fate lies in the hands of viewers, who will take over for judges/mentors Adam Levine , Christina Aguilera , Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green in deciding who continues on and who goes home. Entering the ring for Monday’s two-hour performance show (results will be broadcast live Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET), the teams were as follows: Team Adam : Karla Davis, Katrina Parker, Kim Yarbrough, Mathai, Pip and Tony Luca Team Blake : Charlotte Sometimes, Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul, Jordis Unga, Naia Kete and RaeLynn Team Xtina : Ashley De La Rosa, Chris Mann, Jesse Campbell, Lindsey Pavao, Moses Stone and Sera Hill Team Cee Lo : Cheesa, Erin Martin, Jamar Rogers, James Massone, Juliet Simms and Tony Vincent Aguilera was looking great with a simpler style and a whole lot less hair, but the judge to watch on the fashion front was Cee Lo, who rocked a strange disco clown-meets-Elvis costume and shaggy ’70s wig. “There’s something a little different about you tonight,” Adam joked to the “Forget You” singer. Referring to the dashing Levine’s newly shaved head, Cee Lo said, “Adam cut his off, so I decided to grown mine out.” Now, on to the actual competition. First up was Team Blake’s Jermaine Paul. Paul made a big impression, entering from the back of the theater amid blinding lights before making his way to the stage, but Aguilera commented that the song Shelton gave him, Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer,” was an unconventional choice for the former Alicia Keys backup singer. “I didn’t see the connection with the song choice,” Aguilera said. “[But] you brought soul to it.” Shelton disagreed. “I think girls tend to like you singing that song a lot,” he said, to much screaming and applause. Team Christina’s Chris Mann was much more subdued when he hit the stage to sing “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” and his classically trained voice had all the judges swooning over his pitch-perfect delivery. “You really owned it,” Xtina said. “You made it your own.” Shelton gave his next contestant, 17-year-old Texan RaeLynn, a tall order: to turn “Wake Up Call” by “Voice” coach Levine’s own band Maroon 5 into a country/rock song. “It is a risk taking a famous pop song and turning it country, but I think America’s going to like that,” RaeLynn said before stomping around the stage confidently in her cowboy boots and frilly dress. “You’re a sassy little thing,” Aguilera commented. “Are you allowed to grind your hips at your age like that?” Christina then called out what we already know: that there is a romance going on between Levine and Shelton . “You and the Maroon 5,” Aguilera joked about Shelton’s choice of Levine’s song. (We know, Christina! We know!) Moses Stone of Team Xtina was up next with a medley of Kanye West’s “Stronger”/”Power.” Backed by a fleet of dancers, the lone “Voice” rapper showed off his ability to move and stir up the audience. “I think you’re a natural onstage,” Cee Lo said. Adam agreed, saying, “There’s no doubt [that] you know how to entertain.” The performance was one of many that was pretty much professional level, including everything from backup dancers and flashy costumes to abundant lighting and a massive backing band/orchestra. Blake even (we assume inadvertently) complimented Aguilera when he said, “She’s already working for you,” while praising Stone’s singing voice. “You do it all,” Aguilera cheered, talking up Stone’s ability to sing, rap and perform choreography. In one of the rare occasions where a “Voice” coach recommended that one of his singers stay true to the way a song is performed on an album, Blake pushed street performer Naya Kete to stick to the original arrangement of “Turning Tables” as it was recorded by Adele. Aguilera unsurprisingly disagreed, and she and Shelton clashed. He thought Naya brought a lot of personality and tenderness to the song, while the “Beautiful” songbird wished Kete would have included more of her own jazz style to the performance. In the night’s strangest performance (fully dressed division), Aguilera paired raspy-voiced Lindsey Pavao with Gotye’s “Somebody I Used to Know,” and she brought, um, creepy burlesque dancers and clowns in masquerade masks onstage for her performance. Even with the strange distractions, the judges were listening closely, and Adam thought she was missing the power Gotye brought to the chorus. Her coach Christina was pleased, though, saying that every time she hears Paveo sing she thinks “Where is her record? I could listen to this girl all day.” Team Blake’s rocker Jordin Unga was strong and hit all the right notes in a memorable take on Heart’s difficult “Alone,” inspiring her coach to say, “I’m just so glad America has the chance to find out who you are.” That’s the thing about “The Voice” judges: They always know the perfect thing to say. (It must be the influence of smooth, newly single lady’s man Levine being on the panel.) For the night’s oddest performance (shirtless edition), enter Team Christina’s Sera Hill, who not only made Drake’s “Find Your Love” all her own (and practically unrecognizable) as a Mary J. Blige-like R&B slow jam, but also turned the stage into a Chippendale’s review (green lasers and all). “I know this was your idea,” Shelton told Aguilera of Hill’s studly backup dancers. (We know it too; she’s “Dirrty” and we like that about her.) “I was waiting for Christina to start stuffing some 1’s in those guys’ pants,” Blake continued. He didn’t have much to say about Hill’s actual performance, because “it’s hard to get past the male strippers onstage. … There were male strippers on the stage on ‘The Voice.’ ” For Team Blake’s Erin Willett performance, the stage was transformed into a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Willett started into her Stevie Wonder cover at the piano before joining the swinging dancers for a Broadway-like performance. Shelton called Willett’s performance the “best vocal performance of the night,” and even Aguilera had to begrudgingly agree. The next two performers took alternate routes to putting the best spin on their talents now that America is voting. Rocker Ashley De La Rosa chose to play it safe, sticking to her rocker-girl wheelhouse with “Right Through You” by Alanis Morrisette. And it worked for her: Levine called her “the most improved by far.” When Aguilera agreed, he joked, “We just got along,” stoking those rumors that Aguilera can be a little diva on set. Unlike De La Rosa, Charlotte Sometimes changed things up so the live audiences would get a chance to hear a different side of her unique voice than they had at this point in the competition. She chose to rearrange Paramore’s “Misery” to create a softer showcase to show that she can be a delicate singer as well as a fiery one. The night’s final performance was a fine (if very safe) one: jazzy crooner Jesse Campbell singing “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. “If someone from my team doesn’t win, I’m looking for you to win this,” Cee Lo told Campbell. Adam agreed that Campbell was “the one to beat.” But Aguilera must have been worried her “Moves Like Jagger” duet partner was going to turn negative, because the two ended the show in a (non) lovers spat, bickering back and forth as the credits rolled.

This just in at ML HQ: Esteemed Mad Men creator and occasional director Matthew Weiner will make his feature filmmaking debut with You Are Here , to co-star Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis in a “funny, charming, and deeply honest film about who we were, who we are, and discovering the power to embrace life, no matter how much you screw it up.” There is also a road trip! And possibly Amy Poehler! Read on for full details from producer Gilbert Films. ========= LOS ANGELES, March 28 — Gilbert Films announced today that their next theatrical film project, YOU ARE HERE, will start production in May 2012 in North Carolina. The film, written and to be directed by Matthew Weiner (creator of Emmy and Golden Globe winning series MAD MEN, writer/executive producer of THE SOPRANOS) will star Owen Wilson (MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, WEDDING CRASHERS) and Zach Galifianakis (THE HANGOVER, DUE DATE). Discussions are underway for Amy Poehler (PARKS & RECREATION) to co-star. Weiner will be making his big screen debut after having directed numerous episodes of the award-winning MAD MEN through its five years of production. Gary Gilbert, Scott Hornbacher, and Jordan Horowitz will produce. Lionsgate is handling international sales. Local weatherman and freewheeling bachelor Steve Dallas (Wilson) and bi-polar man-child Ben (Galafinakis) are childhood best friends who embark on a road trip home after Ben discovers that his estranged father has passed away. Once there, Ben is shocked to learn that his eccentric father had big plans for him and he’s inherited a whole lot more than his father’s money. As Ben struggles with his new responsibilities, his friendship with Steve is tested by the complications of his inheritance, his sister Terry’s (Poehler) ambition, and Steve’s desire to be with his father’s beautiful young widow Angela. YOU ARE HERE is a funny, charming, and deeply honest film about who we were, who we are, and discovering the power to embrace life, no matter how much you screw it up. “This movie has been my passion for eight years and to see it come together with Owen and Zach and Amy is a dream come true,” said Weiner. “I can’t wait to get started because the movie is about everything I care about and I’m tired of reading it out loud to my friends.” Noted Gilbert: “We are thrilled to finally bring this project to the screen. Matt is one of the brightest creative minds in television, and we are confident that this project will solidify the same reputation for him in the world of narrative film.” ###
From Ned’s beheading to Tyrion’s tumultuous journey, we recount the key moments to remember heading into Sunday’s premiere. By Josh Wigler Lena Headey in “Game of Thrones” Photo: HBO Swords, kings, dragons and things (and by things, we mean an absurd amount of sex and violence): Where else but “Game of Thrones” can you get all that and then some? Those who’ve been thirsting for blood and fire are about to get plenty of both when “Thrones” returns for its second season this Sunday, but considering how much time has passed since poor Ned lost his head, you’d be forgiven for not remembering much of what happened all the way back in season one. Well, never fear, true believers; that’s what we’re here for! Keep on reading for everything you need to remember about “Game of Thrones” season one before returning to Westeros later this week. “Winter Is Coming” The words of House Stark echo all throughout “Game of Thrones” season one, beginning with King Robert Baratheon’s royal visit to old friend and war buddy Eddard Stark all the way north in Winterfell. Robert all but commands Ned to take on the role of Hand of the King — the ruler of Westeros’ right-hand man — and Lord Stark begrudgingly accepts. His reason: to investigate the death of the pervious Hand, Jon Arryn, an old mentor of Ned and Robert’s, who he believes was murdered by Queen Cersei and members of her wicked family, the Lannisters. Kids These Days Ned’s investigation does not go smoothly. After arriving in King’s Landing to serve as Robert’s Hand, Ned learns that Robert fathered many bastard children and that his own supposedly trueborn heirs — Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen — were not his trueborn children at all, but bastards of Queen Cersei’s incestuous relationship with her twin brother, Jaime. Robert dies from a freak injury before Ned can tell him the truth, and Ned takes it upon himself to see that the late Baratheon’s younger brother, Stannis, is the next man to sit upon the Iron Throne, as is his right. Hopeless, Headless Ned Once again, Ned’s plan does not go well. When Lord Stark attempts to persuade the court to recognize Stannis’ claim to the throne, newly minted King Joffrey and Queen Regent Cersei have him arrested for treason. A deal is later brokered where Ned will confess to his treachery and recognize Joffrey’s claim, in exchange for the safety of himself and his children. But after he publicly confesses to his “crimes,” Joffrey pulls a fast one on everyone — characters and audience included — by ordering Ned’s beheading . With one stunning stroke, the main character of “Game of Thrones” was dead, before the season finale, no less. Stark Reality While they still have their lives, the Stark children aren’t faring much better than poor Ned. The youngest son, Bran Stark, is pushed out of a window and subsequently paralyzed after catching twins Cersei and Jaime doing the nasty. Ned’s two daughters, Arya and Sansa, are left in very different and very awful positions following his death too. Arya is posing as a boy, traveling north with a group of young men to join the Night’s Watch; she’s to be dropped off at her home in Winterfell before reaching the Wall. Sansa, meanwhile, is still in King’s Landing and still betrothed to the wicked boy king Joffrey, who abuses her physically and emotionally with brutal regularity. The King in the North Lord Eddard Stark’s eldest son, Robb, on the other hand, is in a position to actually do something about his father’s death. Robb has called upon House Stark’s bannermen in the northern part of Westeros to wage war on Joffrey and the Lannisters. His goals are threefold: the safe return of his sisters, the official succession of the North from the Seven Kingdoms’ purview, and vengeance for Ned. Robb becomes known as the King in the North, an ancient title not held by anyone since Torrhen Stark bent the knee to Aegon the Conqueror nearly 300 years earlier. Here a King, There a King … Robb Stark is not the only man in Westeros calling himself king. There’s Joffrey Baratheon, of course, who sits on the Iron Throne. Three other men have their eyes on the crown as well: Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands and the two remaining Baratheon brothers, Stannis and Renly. Though Renly is a charismatic and well-liked figure in Westeros, he is also the youngest Baratheon, making his claim weaker than the less-beloved Stannis. It won’t matter which Baratheon has the better claim, of course, if one of the other three kings vying for power has their say. … And There a Queen There’s another player in the game of thrones, and that’s exiled princess Daenerys , the last surviving member of House Targaryen, the clan who ruled over Westeros for nearly three full centuries. Dany spends the entirety of season one across the Narrow Sea among the Dothraki, a barbaric people who pride themselves on war and horses. Bad things happen to all “Thrones” characters, but Dany has a particularly rough go of it in season one: Her husband, Khal Drogo, and their unborn son both die, as does her brother, Viserys. (Indeed, that guy is super dead.) On the other side of all that tragedy, Dany is now the proud owner of three brand-spanking-new dragons, the first of their kind in hundreds of years. That’s a plus! The Perks of Being a Wallflower Elsewhere, in another remote area of this fantasy world, Ned Stark’s bastard Jon Snow serves as a man of the aforementioned Night’s Watch, an ancient order of warriors who patrol the great ice Wall to protect the people of Westeros from the dangers lurking further north. Shortly after becoming a sworn brother of the Watch, Jon saves Lord Commander Mormont from dying at the hands of a reanimated corpse (zombies, ftw!), the latest and most dangerous evidence yet that the Others — a long-forgotten force of evil with unspeakably cold crystal swords and voices that sound like crackling ice — still exist beyond the wall. To investigate further, Mormont takes Jon and other members of the Watch beyond the Wall, where they’ll continue to explore throughout season two. Paying Their Debts Clearly, season one was crazy busy for Ned Stark and his family, but how about House Lannister? Though Cersei’s son sits on the Iron Throne as she had always hoped, the queen suffers a severe blow in the capture of her brother and lover, Jaime, at the hands of Robb Stark. Jaime remains in the northerner’s captivity. Meanwhile, the third Lannister sibling — the imp Tyrion Lannister — went through hell and back again as well: He starts in Winterfell as part of Robert’s royal party, ends up on the Wall for a time, is captured by Ned Stark’s wife Catelyn for his suspected role in Bran Stark’s paralysis, is brought to the miles-high Eyrie to pay for his crimes, is eventually liberated from his fate with the help of his own cunning wit and the talented sellsword Bronn and ultimately relegated to the frontlines of lord Tywin Lannister’s war against the Starks. As King Joffrey’s Hand, Tywin can’t exactly win a war and worry about the goings-on of Westeros at the same time. Accordingly, he temporarily passes off his duties as Hand to Tyrion, who is about to prove that a very small man can cast a very big shadow. A Dink and a Nod Speaking of very big shadows, you heard about Peter Dinklage’s Best Supporting Actor wins at the Emmys and the Golden Globes this past year, right? Well, given what happens to his character in “A Clash of Kings” (the novel that the second season of “Thrones” is based on), Dinklage has only scratched the surface of Tyrion’s enormously satisfying arc. If he’s as smart as his character, the gifted actor has left some room on the shelf for a few more trophies come the end of the new season. Are you all caught up for “Thrones” season two?

Batman and Katniss duke it out to be champion of the 2012 box office, in The Weekly Rising. By Kevin P. Sullivan Tom Hardy in “Dark Knight Rises” Photo: Warner Bros. What is going on with “The Dark Knight Rises” and its lack of a marketing campaign? We’re four months out from what is supposed to be the biggest movie of the year, but all we have to show for it are two trailers and new theater standees . This past weekend’s box-office domination of Jennifer Lawrence and “The Hunger Games” stands as a testament to the power of a strong marketing campaign when you have a rabid fanbase helping to carry the load. Warner Bros. has so far taken an entirely different route when it comes to promoting the final film of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. It’s no secret that “The Dark Knight Rises” is coming out and that everyone wants to see it. The mania around “The Dark Knight” established a subculture of raspy-voiced Batman parodies and every male teen attempting Heath Ledger’s Joker makeup and ensured a huge box-office take for the eventual third film. But with so much of the movie industry now focused on “The Hunger Games” and its “bigger than we could have imagined” success, can “The Dark Knight Rises” afford to coast into theaters in July without a similarly mega-huge marketing campaign? And how high can a big-budget movie like “The Dark Knight Rises” fly without the increasingly common deluge of marketing? Box-office experts weighing in on the success of “The Hunger Games” give credit to the balance of a hard marketing push and dedicated fanbase. Lionsgate got the word out early and often that “The Hunger Games” was a phenomenon that wouldn’t and couldn’t be missed. For the most part, the campaign fit the property. The three best-selling books had a huge following, but Katniss Everdeen wasn’t exactly a household name heading into last weekend. If a 30-year-old guy didn’t know the Suzanne Collins novels, the commercials could have been enough to entice him. The approach to marketing “The Dark Knight Rises” should be different. No one needs to be told who Batman is. Everyone and their English butler went to go see “The Dark Knight” in 2008 and would probably be interested in seeing a third film. But what’s new? Fans can look forward to Bane, Catwoman and the Batwing, but there isn’t a news hook like Ledger’s death that makes it something more than the next big movie to see. When the returns from “The Hunger Games” rose and rose and crept ever closer to the record previously held by “The Dark Knight,” there may have been a slight panic from Batman fans. What if 2012 has already seen its biggest weekend at the box office and Katniss Everdeen has already been crowned the champion? It would be ignorant to suggest that “The Dark Knight Rises” can’t succeed without an all-encompassing viral marketing campaign and commercials airing every other minute, but what “The Hunger Games” may have proven is that without those elements, Batman might have to settle for second place. Are you disappointed with the level of marketing/images/previews/trailers from “The Dark Knight Rises”? Hit me up on Twitter @KPSull and we’ll discuss later in the week over on the Movies Blog !

Leave it to a supermodel like Doutzen Kroes to finish off the week in style. Obviously everything a supermodel does is stylish, that’s why they’re supermodels, but short shorts and a bikini top? Amazing. And I thought Paris Hilton’s little boobies looked good in a bikini top. I’m not sure supermodels should be allowed to walk around like this, it’s just going to cause trouble. Bitchy comments from other girls and awkward public boners from pretty much every straight male in a two block radius. Do women this hot know the power they have?
With the American Ido l top 10 taking the stage again tonight, and with this shaping up to be one of the more hotly-contested seasons to date, it’s time for the first THG Power Poll of the season. Who do you see as the favorite right now? 10. Deandre Brackensick : Would have been our choice to leave after last week’s debacle. He can hit the high notes… and that’s about it. 9. Heejun Han : Love the personality, don’t see anything on stage that makes him standout above the rest. It’s solid and nothing more or less. 8. Elise Testone : Might suffer some likability issues. Did you notice her NOT applauding for Erika last week? Or not hugging Skylar? Yes, we’re forced to nitpick when the talent is this even. We did love her version of ” Let’s Stay Together .” 7. Joshua Ledet : We expect plenty of disagreement here. It’s not a question of his voice, just of his theatrics. Ledet’s ” When a Man Loves a Woman ” may have been the single best of any contestant this season, but we can see his act growing old. 6. Skylar Laine : She has the energy and the attitude, that’s for sure. She also has the identity: a rocking country chick. She just lacks the range. 5. Erika Van Pelt : Loved her take on“Edge of Glory.” A smooth, consistent voice makes it hard to see this finalist faltering in the next few weeks. 4. Colton Dixon : Love the risks he takes – a song by White Lion ?!? – and love his confidence on stage. Most definitely stands out on a weekly basis. 3. Jessica Sanchez : Will go down in Idol history for her version of “ I Will Always Love You .” That should be enough to keep her around for awhile. But can she go outside the world of ballads? A less-than-impressive take on “Turn the Beat Around” causes us to wonder. 2. Hollie Cavanagh : Has she had an off week yet? Memorable auditions of “Reflection,” “All the Man That I Need,” and “The Power of Love” prove she has staying power. Could work on her versatility and stage presence. 1. Phillip Phillips : He’s a cute young white guy with a guitar. Until American Idol viewers prove they are capable of crowning someone else, he has to be the favorite. WHO IS YOUR AMERICAN IDOL FAVORITE?
