Fw: 'American Idol' recap: Jelly Roll mentors as judges make questionable choices for Top 24
From: Sharon Pohlman it's a shame they don't have a second chance play off. I do not agree with who all is TOP 24. 'American Idol' chooses Top 24 singers as Jelly Roll mentors 'American Idol' recap: Jelly Roll mentors as judges make questionable choices for Top 24 KiMi Robinson USA TODAY With four people through to the Top 24 and 20 spots left in the competition, "American Idol" contestants are running on fumes. In Monday night's episode, the remaining 42 singers, sleep deprived from overnight rehearsals, paired up for the head-to-head round. It was sink-or-swim as the aspiring stars struggled to memorize lyrics, went on vocal rest to preserve their overworked vocal cords and — for some — adapted to singing with another person for the first time. While some pairings both made it through to the next stage, other duos only had one successful contestant. In a few rough cases, neither singer earned a spot in Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan's Top 24. Jelly Roll returned to the show as the first-ever artist in residence to dispense advice and encouraging words from side stage. He even got a celebrity cameo for one lucky pair. Here are the top moments from Episode 7.Carnie Wilson defends Lola: Daughter received 'cruel' comments from 'American Idol' fans Judges give a floundering Baylee Littrell another chance Were we watching the same performance as the judges? After a powerhouse delivery from Keilene (who has received almost no airtime thus far) in the second of three "Shallow" performances tonight, the judges instead chose to focus on her stage partner, Baylee Littrell. Underwood said, "Baylee, you were more comfortable singing with somebody else. It’s like we got to see a different side to you." Uh, yeah. We saw that when he did a duet with his dad, the Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell, in the season premiere. It was true that he mostly sounded solid when complementing Keilene's vocals, but alone? His voice understandably sounded tired and overused, and he couldn't reach some notes while her Broadway-ready voice had the ability to pierce through Kevlar. Richie had very fair feedback when he pondered whether the cover was on the verge of being "too powerful," while Bryan insinuated that Keilene was too overwhelming in the closing notes. The country star also accurately pointed out Baylee was "timid" in his verses. Despite Baylee's roughest performance yet, it was Keilene who was shown the door. But Baylee was sent into the Top 24 with a warning from Underwood: "It was not a unanimous decision, so moving forward, I need you to step it up!" Brandon Lake reacts to Breanna Nix and Rylie O'Neill's cover of 'Gratitude' Breanna Nix and Rylie O'Neill, who'd bonded over being moms, paired up to cover a song by Christian worship singer Brandon Lake. Little did they know, the songwriter himself was listening to their performance.After the women delivered their song, eyes gazing upward and arms reaching toward the heavens, Jelly Roll cut off the judges' feedback to bring Lake in via FaceTime. "That was the most gorgeous version of 'Gratitude' I've ever heard," he told Breanna and Rylie. Underwood was emotional as she delivered her comments. "I know how difficult it is to come into the entertainment industry and bring your faith with you," she told the singers. "It is a brave thing to do because there are a lot of outside forces that are going to tell you not to do that. I want to tell you that I’m proud of you guys," she added.There was only one spot left in the Top 24, however, and the judges passed over Rylie to offer it to Breanna. The self-described 25-year-old "just a stay-at-home mom" sank to the floor crying with relief and happiness. Unfortunately, some of the less successful duets were cut for time, and not every one of the 22 eliminated contestants received acknowledgement. Here are the singers who didn't make it into the Top 24.

Fw: American Idol' recap: Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll admit song covers are better than their versions
From: Sharon Pohlman 'American Idol' recap: Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll admit song covers are better than their versions American Idol' recap: Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll admit song covers are better than their versions Jelly Roll and Luke Bryan admit contestants' covers were better than their original songs "Luke, we're 0 for 2," artist-in-residence Jelly Roll yelled back at Bryan after watching Mississippi's Jamal Roberts "beat up" Jelly Roll's own song, as Richie put it. Both Jelly Roll and Bryan seemed humbled after watching these aspiring stars one-up them with their own songs. Jamal brought Jelly Roll's "Liar" to the stage in dramatic fashion with a stool kick, an uncompromising attitude and grit to his voice. As Richie put it, whenever Jamal goes on stage, he performs "like it might be the last time you ever sing." "I would feel disrespectful to call this my song in this moment," Jelly Roll said after Jamal's performance. "This is now Jamal’s song. I was singing Jamal’s song tonight." Bryan had some attitude about the situation, though: "I am mad at Jelly Roll. He has over-mentored," the country star said. Earlier, Illinois' Victor Solomon boldly took on Bryan's "That's My Kind of Night" — and the risk paid off. The judges were up on their feet early on in the performance, as Victor massively upstaged Bryan with his hip-swinging, foot tapping moves. Wearing a cowboy hat, suspenders (that soon came loose due to the aforementioned dancing) and tight jeans, Victor showed impressive voice control as he worked the stage while not missing a single note. The fast-food director from Peoria was the last person Bryan would've guessed would take on his country rock music, and "You can truly out-dance me" at that, Bryan said. So much so that Ryan Seacrest encouraged the judge to come up on stage and learn some new moves ahead of his summer tour. Your voice is perfect for every genre of music, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before — or heard that before," Underwood said. Carrie Underwood gets emotional: Singer reflects on 'how difficult it is' to be vocal about her faithKolbi Jordan makes roaring comeback after sickness Sinus infection who? Platinum ticket winner Kolbi Jordan brought some "New Attitude" (Patti LaBelle's, that is) to the stage after suffering from an illness during Hollywood Week's Showstoppers round. Because she had something to prove. 'American Idol' premiere: Carrie Underwood cries, a Backstreet Boy duets... Highlights from Sunday's season premiere included Brian Littrell's son singing an original song and a high schoo... Kolbi's voice is like a rubber band; it makes you want to play with it and see how far it will stretch. Her vocals went high, they went low, and she left it all out on the field. Hers was the first performance that the judges stood for, with Bryan commenting, it was "one of my favorite performances I’ve seen on this island." "America, she is back," he said.

From: Sharon Pohlman ‘American Idol’ Top 24 sing for America’s vote: Who gave the best performance on Sunday, April 13? Denton Davidson Reality TV April 13, 2025The power shifts this week on American Idol. Judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan have narrowed the pool of contestants down to the Top 24 and now it's up to America to decide who stays and who goes home. Tonight, half of the Top 24 will perform from Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii. The other half will perform on Monday, April 14. After America's votes are counted, two singers from each night will be eliminated when the Top 20 are revealed during a special "Songs of Faith" episode on Sunday, April 20. Mentoring tonight's group is American Idol's Artist in Residence, Jelly Roll, and Grammy winner Ashanti. Ché Age: 28 Hometown: Essex, England Performance: "Master Blaster (Jammin')" by Stevie Wonder Carrie's comments: "It was so much fun. You seem so at ease on stage. You're just so stinkin' talented. It was perfect." Lionel's comments: "You don't just jump on a Stevie Wonder song and be that cool. Honestly, I was waiting for you to sweat just a little. Some of those notes were ridiculous! Tonight you were on a rocket." Luke's comments: "I keep waiting for you to miss a note and you will not miss a note. I'm just jealous of you. Don't be scared to keep giving us new interpretations of who you are." Penny Samar Age: 23 Hometown: Williamsport, Pa. Performance: "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappel Roan Carrie's comments: "You occupy your own lane in this group of talent. From your look, to your sound, to the way you pull us all in along for the ride with you. You feel everything you're singing and that leaves us no choice but to just feel it right along with you." Lionel's comments: "You worked the stage. You gave us drama, you gave us attitude. That's the whole part about being on a stage. You're not just singing, you're performing." Luke's comments: "You're comfortable being you. You're comfortable with your own style of artistry. The stage is your playground — keep it that way!" Kolbi Jordan Age: 26 Hometown: Tulsa, Okla. Performance: "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle Carrie's comments: "You represent our home state so wonderfully well. You have this light in you and around you and it just comes out of your mouth. I'm so jealous!" Lionel's comments: "You were not feeling well in Hollywood, but you are on fire! In fact, you might want to check the stage to see if there's still some of it there. Your attitude on stage is infectious." Luke's comments: "One of my favorite performances I've ever seen on this island. You controlled everything. You just owned it!" Baylee Littrell Age: 22 Hometown: Alpharetta, Ga. Performance: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams Carrie's comments: "I feel like you're owning your voice and your moment more. I love seeing you work the stage. I want more of that." Lionel's comments: "He hasn't even started his career yet — he walks out on stage and the girls start screaming. It took me 40 years! You're finally getting comfortable." Luke's comments: "This show forces you to grow and you answered the call." Victor Solomon Age: 26 Hometown: Peoria, Ill. Performance: "That's My Kind of Night" by Luke Bryan Carrie's comments: "There are so many artists who try to switch up genres and it's almost believable ... you fit everywhere. Your voice is perfect for every genre of music." Lionel's comments: "I did not know what you were gonna do. Every time you walk out you invent a new person. It was amazing — I loved it!" Luke's comments: "I gotta retire the song after that. That's what this show is about — surprise. The nuances of the arrangement, the thoughts behind it that made it you — I'm super honored, you did a great job." Gabby Samone Age: 22 Hometown: Baltimore Performance: "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion Carrie's comments: "I felt all the things. Your voice is so powerful, but you have so many nuances in it. Just when I think you're going to wallop us over the head ... you pull back and flip up into your head voice. It'

Fw: Ancient Origins Premium Preview (April 14)
News Articles Shop Account The First Wartime Comic: Eupolis of Athens, the Poet, Playwright, and Chronicler of the Peloponnesian War The most famous Athenian comic dramatist was Aristophanes (c.446-386 BCE). His plays Frogs, Wasps, Clouds and others remain the most well known of ancient comedies. In his plays, Aristophanes launched scathing attacks on the prominent figures of Athens at the time, mostly during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE). This was the inevitable and devastating war between the two most powerful states in Greece, Athens and Sparta, and their allies. The conflict embroiled virtually all of Greece and the conflict spread to Sicily and the Black Sea. What is less common knowledge, however, is that Aristophanes was not the first wartime comic. He was only one of an entire movement of authors known as Old Comedy who were active during the war. The three acknowledged masters of Athenian Old Comedy were as Aristophanes, Cratinus and Eupolis. Tantalising details of Eupolis’ life and plays reveal that he represents the first wartime comic, criticizing, lampooning (and occasionally praising) the conduct of the war and the individuals involved. Eupolis reveals remarkable possibilities for the role of comedy during wartime, a tradition which continued down the centuries and into today’s conflicts virtually unchanged. Old Comedy We know relatively little of the lives of many of the authors of Old Comedy and Cratinus and Eupolis are no exception. They, along with the other writers of Old Comedy exist only in fragments or testimonia and no full plays survive. Even for Aristophanes, only eleven of the forty plays he wrote survive. Unsurprisingly then, Aristophanes dominates Old Comedy for modern commentators; Cratinus has come to take second place whilst Eupolis has been relegated to a distant third. There are many other authors of comic plays (almost sixty) who we know from the surviving lists of victors at the Dionysia and Lenaia festivals, the two dramatic festivals on the Attic calendar. There are, however, remarkable insights to be found in even the briefest of anecdotes regarding these other authors. We do have a list of victories for Cratinus and Eupolis (whose record of seven prizes, four at the Dionysia and three in the Lenaia from only fourteen or fifteen plays submitted is a remarkable strike rate; four of his seven plays submitted for the Dionysia won). Cratinus’ career was long, his first play coming in around 454 and his last in 423. In that career of approximately 24 plays he achieved nine victories. Aristophanes won much less often with perhaps only two victories at the Dionysia (Babylonioi may have won in 426 and he won again in 387) and three at the Lenaia (Acharnians, Knights and Frogs). Yet we know some of his plays came second at the Dionysia (Wasps, Peace, and Birds), and Clouds came third. Ian Storey compares Aristophanes with Steven Spielberg, a great artist largely ignored by the establishment of his day. Plato certainly uses Aristophanes as the key representative of Comedy in his dialogues the Apology and the Symposium. The question then is how Aristophanes came to be regarded as the greatest exponent of Old Comedy even in antiquity, but that is not one not a question which can be answered here! Continue reading...

Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 14 The Galactic Center in Radio from MeerKAT Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, SARAO, S. Crowe (UVA), J. Bally (CU), R. Fedriani (IAA-CSIC), I. Heywood (Oxford) Explanation: What's happening at the center of our galaxy? It's hard to tell with optical telescopes since visible light is blocked by intervening interstellar dust. In other bands of light, though, such as radio, the galactic center can be imaged and shows itself to be quite an interesting and active place. The featured picture shows an image of our Milky Way's center by the MeerKAT array of 64 radio dishes in South Africa. Spanning four times the angular size of the Moon (2 degrees), the image is impressively vast, deep, and detailed. Many known sources are shown in clear detail, including many with a prefix of Sgr, since the galactic center is in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. In our galaxy's center lies Sgr A, found here in the image center, which houses the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole. Other sources in the image are not as well understood, including the Arc, just to the left of Sgr A, and numerous filamentary threads. The inset image shows a small patch recently imaged in infrared light with the James Webb Space Telescope to investigate the effects of magnetic fields on star formation.
