No Idol

Seems Todd's expected appearance (other than in audience on the 6th) was pulled. According to Michelle's Facebook page: "Sorry Everyone...i wish i had better news. American Idol decided to go in a different direction with their musical theme so they didn't use Todd. I think we should show them what they missed by focusing on The X Factor!" Seems in addition to her facebook page , she has also joined Twitter

More records that have caught my attention in 2011 Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes Swedish songstress delivers one of the finest pop records of 2011 thus far. Youth Knows Know Pain live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oApxDMGZEw&feature=fvst Anna Calvi - Anna Calvi One of the more interesting new female talents to come out of the UK. Great voice and very talent guitarist. Her version of Jezebel by Edith Piaf is quite something. Anna Calvi 'Blackout' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx7rkcEvFm4&feature=fvsr Ron Sexsmith: Long Player Late Bloomer Seems to have been around forever without 'making it'. This album combines classic sounding elvis costello with teddy thompson style vocals. Believe it When I See It http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3dw3Qcr8u4
