Steven Tyler: Old Rock Stars Never Die, They Just Forget Lyrics (video!) 2

Steven Tyler: Old Rock Stars Never Die, They Just Forget Lyrics (video!)

Keith Girard
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler proved without a doubt that old rock stars never die, they just forget the words to their biggest hit songs. Tyler, who is 66, but still looks every bit like a glam rocker, was enjoying the sights in Lithuania where the band recently toured. He came upon two female street musicians, who started performing “Crazy” from from Aerosmith’s 1994 mega-album Get a Grip....

Steven Tyler F-Bomb Rattles Al Roker, Today Show (Watch!)

Keith Girard
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler knows how to jerk someone’s chain. The iconic rock band appeared on NBC’s “Today Show” this morning (Nov. 2) and Tyler had some fun with hosts Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie. Tyler has been around a television set long enough to know what he’s doing. He recently wrapped up a stint as a judge on Fox’s “American Idol,” where he mostly minded his manners. But the “Today Show” was a different matter. The impish Tyler and bandmates were sitting in the studio before their performance, when the camera cut to them and Tyler hollered: “Good morning, America!”...

Simon Cowell Eyes Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato for X-Factor

Keith Girard
Simon Cowell reportedly is going younger in his search for judges on the U.S. version of his music show “X Factor.” Miley Cyrus, Fergie, Avril Lavigne, and Demi Lovato are all getting big mentions in the sweepstakes. Even Britney Spears! On the hit Fox show, Jennifer Lopez is the youngster, yet she’s over 40, while Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is 63, and Randy Jackson is in his 50s.

Keith Girard
Jessica Sanchez transcended “American Idol” last night and virtually assured she’ll have a major singing career whether she wins or loses the competition. Her performance of “How Will I Know?” was that good.

Demi Lovato Shows American Idol Hopefuls How Its Done (watch)

Keith Girard
Demi Lovato was the consummate pro on “American Idol,” despite all of her issues. She rocked the house with “Give Your Heart a Break.” Her supremely inspiring performance (a little pitchy) brought the audience to its feet. Lovato should give Idol contestants a lot to think about. Although some of the contestants probably have more raw talent than the former Disney teen queen, none come close to matching her polish and stage presence....

Jessica Sanchez Perfect on Whitney Houston Classic (listen!)

Keith Girard
Jessica Sanchez, a 16-year-old “American Idol” contestant, shocked judges and the show’s audience with a stirring rendition of Whitney Houston’s classic “I Will Alaways Love You.” It was pitch perfect and she didn’t miss note.

Symone Black Tumbles, Literally, on American Idol (watch)

Keith Girard
Symone Black, a promising young singer on American Idol, got the judge’s attention in more ways than one when she fell off the stage during Hollywood tryouts. Oddly, none of the judges rushed to her aid. Was it an act? It definitely didn’t look like it. But Black definitely got last night’s sympathy vote. The 16-year-old was singing a rendition of Otis Redding’s “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay....

Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger are paying the price for a less-than-stellar inaugural season for Simon Cowell’s U.S. version of “X-Factor,” the widely popular UK music talent show. X-Factor host Steve Jones is also out, but that comes as no surprise given his spotty performance during Season One.
