Lots of bands do one or two albums and then flame out. So how has Aerosmith managed to keep things going for four decades? Steven Tyler says it has a lot to do with him being a perfectionist.
Thursday night was results night on ‘American Idol‘ — with a twist. Instead of a straight audience vote-out as is usually done during the final rounds, the judges were again in charge of the death of a dream. Let’s see how resident nice-guy Steven Tyler handled it.
With Aerosmith now in its fourth decade of existence, Steven Tyler has been in our public consciousness for so long that sometimes it’s hard to remember what the rubber-faced singer and ‘American Idol‘ judge used to look like. Let’s jog our memories a bit, shall we?
Mark your calendars for June 18, Aerosmith fans.That’s when the band’s tour kicks off, according to frontman Steven Tyler. Tyler will be all done with his ‘American Idol’ judging duties by then and ready to hit the road hard!
On Wednesday night’s ‘American Idol‘, the judges began the process of winnowing down the 42 remaining contestants down to the final 24. Let’s see how many hearts Steven Tyler has a hand in breaking.
It’s the always drama-filled group and solo nights on ‘American Idol‘! Whee! Let’s see how our own Steven Tyler and the rest of the judges fared with this whole “shooting fish in a barrel” thing.
Steven Tyler took a lot of heat (including from us) for his rendition of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ before the Baltimore Ravens / New England Patriots AFC title game last month (Jan. 22) in Foxborough, Mass., but the Aerosmith singer insists he did a fine job. He says any eccentricities in his performance were on purpose and he knows he nailed the high note.
You gotta stand up for your friends, and for yourself. Surely somebody told Aerosmith singer and ‘American Idol‘ judge Steven Tyler that lesson at some point during his childhood. And yet, he sat there passively as three different classic rock songs were savaged by various ‘Idol’ hopefuls in Portland, Oregon, including one of his very own tunes.
OK, so maybe we got a little carried away when we said Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler massacred the National Anthem before Sunday’s AFC title game between the Baltimore Ravens and Tyler’s beloved New England Patriots. Maybe his version was just a little “pitchy,” to use the parlance of ‘American Idol.’ Or maybe he was like the 32-yard field goal that Raven kicker Billy Cundiff missed with 15 seconds remaining to lose the game: just a bit off.
Steven Tyler boarded an aircraft carrier for tonight’s (Jan. 22) episode of ‘American Idol,’ but not before complaining that he was about to “listen to 40 different people sing the same Adele song for six %$#$ hours.”
Steven Tyler will once again be a part of the Super Bowl festivities. The Aerosmith rocker and country superstar Carrie Underwood are teaming up to play a ‘CMT Crossroads’ special during the “Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam” on Super Bowl weekend.
