Gotye‘s dissatisfaction with the ‘Glee’ cover of ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ may have been blown out of proportion. The singer said at a private performance on Monday that the media misinterpreted his remarks and he actually believes the show’s remake was “clever.”

Remember how Gotye called the ‘Glee‘ cover of his hit song “dinky?” The Australian singer-songwriter is backpedaling rather quickly from his comments, even throwing in some self deprecating remarks for good measure. What does the ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ singer have to say now?

The ‘Dance With Somebody’ ep of ‘Glee‘ is set for this Tuesday (April 24), as the New Directions will perform the music of the late great Whitney Houston. In this preview clip, they offer up an absolutely stunning (and semi-rearranged) version of Whit’s early dance hit ‘How Will I Know.’

Colton Dixon was eliminated on tonight’s episode (April 19) of ‘American Idol.’ It wasn’t a shock, especially after hearing mentor Jimmy Iovine, who has about a billion years of record business experience, break down his performance earlier in the episode.

Party rock was in the house tonight (April 19) on ‘American Idol.’ While Kris Allen doled out a breezy rendition of his new single, LMFAO brought their potent and patented blend of party rock, lightening the someone-is-going-home mood of the elimination episode. Someone had to bring the fun, and Sky Blu and Redfoo answered the call with a rousing, zebra-filled and colorful rendition of their apol

Season 8 winner Kris Allen had a homecoming. The Arkansas native performed his new single ‘The Vision of Love’ from the forthcoming ‘Thank You Camellia’ on the live elimination episode of ‘American Idol‘ tonight (April 19). No, it wasn’t a cover of Mariah Carey‘s debut single, either!

Joshua Ledet kicked off his ‘American Idol’ double header with the winning song by his personal idol and ‘Idol’ alum, Fantasia. He made believers out of all of us with an inspiring performance of ‘I Believe.’ And he couldn’t have matched it any better with is second round performance.

“Jessica doesn’t deserve to be in the bottom three if she sang ‘Yankee Doodle Dandee,” mentor Jimmy Iovine said of Jessica Sanchez on ‘American Idol‘ tonight. Sanchez was nearly booted from the competition last week — she got a second chance after she was saved by the judges — but she made a triumphant comeback with covers of Alicia Keys‘ ‘Fallin” and Otis Redding’s ‘Try a Little Tenderness.’ Read

If Season 11′s rocking country girl Skylar Laine wants to make it country, baby, it’s okay. She was born that way. She countrified two non-country songs on ‘American Idol‘ tonight (April 18) during both her performances. The contestants were asked to perform a modern song as as well as classic soul tune this evening and Laine did what she does best.

It was double songs all the way on ‘American Idol’ and who better to sing a double than the guy with a double name? Phillip Phillips started his “final seven” battle with some delicious ‘You Got It Bad’ by Usher. And now we’ve all got it bad, and can’t wait for our chance to meet up with Phillips in the midnight hour after his ‘In the Midnight Hour.’

Elise Testone found herself in the bottom three once again last week, and this week she seemed more than determined to stake her claim in the competition and get herself off that lower rung.
