My current tip for the American Idol live shows
Spyke
With all the hype being around the US version of The X Factor I still couldn't resist watching this season's American Idol. With J-Lo's charm and Steven Tyler's spontaneousness I love the chemistry between the judges in the audition room. In this week's episode (4) the final audition in Nashville came from Lauren Alaina, who was singing for her cousin. With her rendition of Like We Never Loved At All she completely won the panel over and got her ticket to Hollywood. At the young age of 15 this girl is bursting with talent and I can't wait to see how she'll progress.
You can't beat shows like this for introducing you to great pop/country hits you've missed along the way (see Adele's Make You Feel My Love). Faith Hill is most popularly known for her contribution to the Pearl Harbour Soundtrack in the form of There You'll Be, however this track is a nice little gem. It peaked at #5 on the US Country Chart and #45 on the Hot 100 but I imagine Celine Dion could have mustered a global hit out of this at the peak of her career.
