No More Stage Fright For American Idol's Alex Lambert

Alex Lambert says that his nerves got the best of him during his early American Idol days, according to MTV News. Judging from his recent performances, the singer appears to be choosing songs that suit him while improving his performances every week. Unfortunately, this was not enough to keep Labert on the show. On Thursday, March 11, 2010, Lambert didn't make the top 12.

Lambert was not alone, however. Lilly Scott, Katelyn Epperly and Todrick Hall were also booted from the stage. I wish them all the best of luck.

Pants On The Ground

This song became disturbingly catchy. For anyone that missed this on American Idol I posted the video below.
