Tim Urban Loses American Idol But Does He Win A Career?
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
Tim Urban Loses American Idol, But Does He Win A Career?
AMERICA SAT THROUGH TWO HOURS AND 25 MINUTES OF SINGING AND SOLICITATIONS before saying ta ta to Tim Urban, the sparkly boy who never stopped smiling despite being the brunt of the joke.
Ultimately, Tim's shiny aura and pinup boy appeal couldn't carry him and he was sent packing, leaving just 6 contestants to battle for the American Idol title.
Seriously, though, can it be long before he's back, maybe deliverying a doo wop on Glee, or strutting his stuff on Dancing With The Stars? I think not.
Hollywood's bound to come knocking on the door of the boy with the megawatt smile and the blooming Q rating. Keep watching.
Before Tim said ta ta for now, viewers enjoyed -- or in some cases just endured -- performances by Alicia Keys, Black Eye Peas, Mary J. Blige, Joss Stone, former Idols David Cook and Carrie Underwood, Annie Lennox, and Sir Elton John.
Also popping by to help Idol give back: Queen Latifah, Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck, Jonah Hill, Russel Brand, Carlos Mencia, Morgan Freeman, Jim Carrey, Bill Gates and Wanda Skyes.
The fundraiser opened with a taped message from President Barack Obama who reminded viewers that Idol always been about "changing lives." The recorded message ended with the lovely First Lady reminding Simon to "be nice."
Tune in next week when Shania Twain mentors the singers on how to sing her own songs. The competition is heating up.
