The Top 10 boys not only made a huge impression on the judges, but also on the MyIdol message boards. Read below for some snippets written by people about last night’s show. Think you could describe the night better? Start your own thread or write your own recap on the MyIdol message boards. If we like your fan recap, we might even use it as our official Americanidol.com show recap. Or we might just use a portion of it to spread the word on the “Idol Grapevine.” Either way, we want to know your thoughts on the number one show in America! Phil Stacey sang one of my all time favorite songs in the world. And he already starts out a thousand times better on his first line than last week! Gotta say folks...I really dig the timbre of his voice. It's unique and familiar all at the same time...that's a really interesting quality. –ProVocalist Nick Pedro– he seems to have a Fever tonight – and it is a bit sharp……I do like the Rod Stewart quality to his voice –and really like the delivery on the word Fever! He was a little rushed and that was too bad – but I think he was settling in better as he went along. –FairyTaleAusie Next up, Brandon Rogers dedicates his song, "Time after Time", to his grandmother who isn't around to see him "bloom". That is one of the great sadnesses of life. The people who matter most aren't always there to see our highs. I love his husky, Jamaican twang. He is very handsome and I think does a very nice job vocally. –Deanie79 Sanjaya Malakar is dedicating tonight’s performance to his grandfather, who passed away when Sanjaya was five. Taking the stage, Sanjaya makes it easy to solve the mystery of who inherited grandpa’s old clothes and even older record collection. With his flowing locks obscured by a fedora, The Mighty Samsanjaya lacks power on Tony Bennett’s “Steppin’ Out.” -onemanswarm Blake Lewis sings Jamiroquai! No way! I love him. The song’s called “Virtual Insanity.” This guy is so great..amazing voice, amazing rhythm, so creative… love, love, love. I can even forgive the hat. He does a little beat box breakdown in the middle, and I thought I’d hate if he did that, but he balances it perfectly. If ever a man was born to be on stage… -claena Chris Sligh is playing the AI game like a poker whiz. He chooses the right song, portrays a lovely personality that warms to people's hearts, and he DOES HAVE a very good voice. Hearing him sing 'Trouble' was just soothing. He didnt oversing or overdramatize. He simply brought it. –idolize_me_again AJ Tabaldo - Technically, I think he is probably one of the two best male singers. He is on key all the time and has a beautiful tone to his voice. He is passionate about his music, and you can see that when he performs. I like this guy a lot, but I think that even with his vocal prowess, he will struggle in this competition. He looks like your next door neighbor; just an average guy...and I think that will inevitably hurt him. –BellaVoce188 Sundance showed real emotion talking about his son and, personally, I thought his son would have been proud of his dad tonight. He seemed to go back to his Southern bluesy roots with this song….lots of personality, lots of range and overall a very good job. –crislovesmusic Next comes Jared, who's unapologetically going for the female vote with his unbuttoned suit and choice of the Love Master himself, Marvin Gaye's love anthem "Let's Get It On.” For the most part, I think it worked. He made a big step up in both the voice and the charisma department. –The_Right_Stuff Chris R - Geek in the Pink dedicated to his outspoken grandma – I would remember this just for the weird title. I’m not familiar with this song but that’s probably because I’m old, like Grandma. But I know a good performance when I see one, and this was it. -kkppwm

FremantleMedia, co-producer and licensor of American Idol, in conjunction with show creator, 19 Entertainment, today announced the inception of Idol Camp, the first performing arts summer camp for kids between the ages of 12-15 based on the nation’s most watched television show and #1 talent search. Born out of the desire to foster passion and creativity in young teens, Idol Camp will be a fun-filled and non-competitive training ground for America’s future stars. “Utilizing the power of the American Idol phenomenon, we can provide a truly one-of-a-kind experience,” said Mark Brittain, Head of Commercial, American Idol, 19 Entertainment. In fact, the Idol Camp experience will include master classes from surprise celebrity guest performing artists, favorite former American Idol contestants and other top industry professionals. Daily instruction will also be provided in a variety of classes from singing, dancing and acting to song writing and audition techniques as well as traditional camp activities such as swimming and field sports. Idol Camp is located on a picturesque campus in Northfield, Massachusetts and acceptance into the camp is based on limited enrollment and applicants demonstrating enthusiasm, dedication, a desire to perform and a passion for the arts. In addition, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment will reward a certain percentage of students with fully paid scholarships based on financial need in an effort to reach a wide range of the country’s most eager performers. “We want to honor a diverse cross-section of educational backgrounds and opportunities and provide a valuable experience to kids displaying a passionate motivation to learn and grow within themselves through the performing arts,” said Keith Hindle, Executive Vice President, FremantleMedia Licensing Worldwide, North America. “As in American Idol, the goal for our kids is to soar beyond their expectations; however, because Idol Camp is not a competition, every kid goes home a winner.” Starting today, anyone interested in learning more about Idol Camp, including sample class schedules and how to apply on-line for the 2007 summer sessions, can visit the official American Idol website at www.americanidol.com/idolcamp.

The saddest part of American Idol is definitely when we have to say goodbye to certain Idols each week. Hopefully, by that point, they've already had some great exposure and some wonderful experiences to send them back out into the world. Take a look at the exit interviews for the first four that were voted off on Wednesday. Watch as Paul and Nicole, and Rudy and Amy discuss their future plans, the best part of being on American Idol, and their parting message to those who are still on the show.

PEOPLE Magazine's Michelle Tauber checks in with Kelly Clarkson on her upcoming album, her take on this season of American Idol, and her newfound love of NASCAR. Kelly was recently chosen as NASCAR's ambassador, which means that she will help to promote their charities. As she dishes to PEOPLE, "My family's been into it for, like, ever. They're all huge fans from North Carolina, so I don't know how I missed that whole train." But she's definitely all aboard these days. She's fallen so in love with it, she even admits to PEOPLE that it's a bigger thrill to her than winning a Grammy! As she explains, "I mean, you're going that fast-honestly, you feel like you could crash at any moment. It's like, 'Okay, I hope I'm at peace with myself!'" The speed made her come close to vomiting after taking a few spins around the speedway with NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson. Kelly also talks to PEOPLE about what to expect from her upcoming album, which is due out this spring. She calls it "Everything from very low-key stuff to much harder rock than people are used to." Kelly's also been able to take advantage of some recent free time by watching the show that has made her an icon. As she tells PEOPLE, "This is the first [season] I could [watch]-during all the others, I was on tour." She even names Chris Sligh as a favorite of hers, calling him "funny-very dry." Read the full article in the March 5th issue of PEOPLE, which is on sale right now. Download some of your favorite singles by Kelly Clarkson right now.

The word on the boards seems to be that Simon was right when he claimed that the women “laid down the gauntlet” this week. Read the comments below from the MyIdol Message Boards for more on the Top 12 girls’ performances. If you have something to add, we encourage you to do so! Start a thread or write a recap using the MyIdol Message Boards. If we like your fan recap, we might even use it for our official Americanidol.com show recap. Or we might just use a pearl of wisdom or two for our “Idol Grapevine.” Either way, we’re looking for your take on American Idol. While Dolittle and Lakisha certainly ripped the competition to shreds, let us not forget probably my most “favoritest” performance of the night - Miss Stephanie Edwards. She went first so it's easy to forget that she tore down the house. When she fell to her knees, I leapt to my feet. Amazing. –Icoffman Singing fourth was Sabrina Sloan, singing “Never Loved a Man the Way That I Love You” by Aretha Franklin. Song Choice: Whoa! Now that’s what they mean by “song choice.” It completely worked for her voice. –dchambers59 Amy Krebs = 6 out of 10 / Before I get to the meat, I want to say that I thought she sounded all right...she didn't do badly. However, she sounded like someone singing karaoke. I have heard many females sing better than this in bars. –heathalvarez The taped intro for Nicole Tranquillo focused on her fondness for group performances. Seconds into Chaka Khan’s “Stay,” it is easy to see why. How do I say this tactfully? Nicole lacks the soul for a cut like that. –onemanswarm Gina Glocksen, 22, Naperville, Ill.: Really hard song to sing and she sang it well. She has a big voice and she chose a song where she could show that off. –sportsgirl33 Jordin Sparks was fun and I love her voice. She will stick around. At only 17 she has quite a future before her and I look forward to seeing her grow. –Loriann Our last performer of the evening is our single mom, Lakisha Jones, aged 27, from Michigan. Her hair is much more becoming than in auditions and her dress works. She gives her daughter an amazing performance to remember her fourth birthday. She belted out, "And I am Telling You, I’m Not Going,” and we believe her. –Deanie79 Melinda Doolittle - song: Since You've Been Gone - another Aretha Franklin classic but she pulled it off. Lots of personality and confidence and she is definitely a frontrunner for me. The judges take: Randy thought it was Da Bomb, Paula thinks she is a frontrunner, and Simon said incredible. My grade: A. –crislovesmusic Alaina Alexander-I'm glad she's got Brass In Pocket, cuz she'll get no platinum on her wall. –ibrmg Leslie: I liked her performance; it was very strong, maybe a little too strong. Simon said she performed like she was embarrassed and ungainly. Simon, you should be embarrassed by those comments. She was actually quite good. I started to wake up at this point. –spaceyfi7 Antonella Barba – First of all, I must say that this girl is some kind of gorgeous! That being said, this was horrible. Absolutely everything about it was horrible. Her voice sounded bad, she was out of tune, she didn’t perform very well, she picked the wrong song, she looked nervous…etc. I wish I could be nicer than that, but I can’t. –Guyfromnowhere Haley Scarnato is a band singer from San Antonio. We get another Celine song, "It's all Coming Back to Me Now". Her voice and tone are very nice. She needs to work on her phrasing. The tempo drags...don't know why these girls are slowing down in the middle of their songs??? Love her voice though...she will sound great with the right song. This wasn't it. –karledan It’s like watching season three all over again, when we had 'power belters' like Fantasia, Latoya, Jennifer, etc, ‘cuz now we have at least 5 big voices out there. –idolise_me_again
