  • Kevin Covais Will Be Offering His Thoughts on This Season's Idol Performance Episodes Exclusively for Usmagazine.Com
    Idol's Siobhan Stands Out "Like Snooki's Pouf" on Top 12 Night Wednesday – March 17, 2010 – 9:31am Season 5 finalist Kevin Covais will be offering his thoughts on this season's Idol performance episodes exclusively for UsMagazine.com. In the time since his 2006 run on the show, Covais appeared in the films College and Labor Pains, alongside Lindsay Lohan. When he is not in the recording studio readying new music, Covais works with the Diabetes Research Institute. He lives in Los Angeles. Here is Kevin's first blog entry. With the first Top 12 performance round kicking off last night, the American Idol stakes are officially raised and the contestants under a pressure like you couldn't imagine. I can't help but recall my pulse racing right before I hit the stage four years ago around this time. Ah, what fun it was! But I digress. See photos of the singers vying for your votes this season! We start off theme weeks with a band that is a bit before my time, but undoubtedly one of the best ever: The Rolling Stones. And I must say, when comparing last night's show to some of the lackluster semifinals weeks of the show thus far, I found myself quite excited and impressed when it was all said and done. My biggest issue the past few weeks has been song choice, but it appears that having a theme was a blessing in disguise for this very unique, talented group. I don't know that there was a single song choice I didn't agree with last night.
