American Idol Update


Katie Stevens kicked off last night's show with Kelly Clarkson's "Break Away." For the third week in a row, Stevens picked the wrong song, but she was given points for trying. Siobhan Magnus was the next girl to perform. Although she impressed three of the judges, Simon Cowell was left wanting more. Lacey Brown sang "The Story," which the judges thought was her best performance of the season. Compared to last week, Didi Benami delivered a much better performance, according to the judges. Katelyn Epperly and Paige Miles were among the girls who disappointed the judges last night. Once again, Crystal Bowersox blew the judges away with her vocal and guitar skills. The show closed with a performance from Lilly Scott who was praised for her performance.

Tim White



About Tim:

Born and raised here, I’ve had the privilege of being on the radio in Des Moines for the last 20 years.  I began my career even before graduating from North High School.  Most fellow classmates didn’t even believe it was me on the radio…some still don’t.  A few years later I also graduated from Grand View College.

I live north of Des Moines with my wife Michelle and I have four kids to keep me busy.  I fill up my free time (what little there is) running and playing golf occasionally.  Most of the time I chase kids around and sometimes catch em’. 

You can hear me on Lite 104.1 weekday mornings from 5 to 10am and Saturday mornings from 6 to 10am. 

Catch me on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/home.php
