New American Idol Panel of Judges... Awesome New Vibe for the Hit Show!

American Idol- Ramblings by Lauren Fox

I don’t know about you guys. But I LOVE this season of American Idol! I thought that since Simon left, the show was sure to be cancelled. The judges have such a great chemistry. Steven Tyler is hilarious! His random comments always crack me up! He is a lot “softer” than I thought he would be. My 6-year-old sister asked me last night, “Is that a boy or a girl with the crazy hair on the end?”

The Twinkle ladies are big Jennifer Lopez fans as well. I especially like that she is always flashing some bling! What is not to love about that? J-lo definitely fits the *Twinkle* girl mold: "a little twinkle to sparkle wherever you go!"

Wednesday night’s auditions were in Austin, Texas. Here are some of my favorites:

Casey Abrams sang “I Don’t Need No Doctor” by Ray Charles. I think he will definitely go far this season! His voice was so soulful! I can’t wait to see what he will do with more conventional pop songs!

Corey Levoy was the guy with the “J Lo Booty”. He sang “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt. He and his sister (who was at the audition) didn’t meet until they were in their teens! It was so obvious how much they loved each other and how bad she wanted him to get that “golden ticket”. A “loving sibling” always draws a tear for me, so I hope he goes really far in the competition.

Jacqueline Dunford and Nick Fink were the couple that came into the audition room together. I have a feeling that they actually weren’t a couple, but just pretended to be one to get TV time. But who am I to say? Regardless, they both had great voices! Jacqueline sang “Mercy” by Duffy, which is one of my favorite songs! And Nick sang “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5, another favorite. I don’t think they’ll make it to the end, but they are both very talented!

John Wayne Schultz was the cute cowboy (no, really... he’s a cowboy) who sang “Believe” by Brooks and Dunn! I loved his voice and how he was there for his mom that was diagnosed with breast cancer! I hope he does well in the competition because I wouldn’t mind looking at him every week! Cuteeeee!!!!

Auditions this season have been very interesting and the competition will definitely be tough! I can’t wait to see who wins because there have been so many incredibly talented people audition! We’ll see if someone can take Kelly Clarkson’s spot as my favorite American Idol!

What about the BLING?!!

Our new Twinkle Fashion Intern, Lauren Fox, has this to say about the 2011 Golden Globes:
      

The 2011 award season started with a bang on Sunday with the 68th Golden Globe Awards. The red carpet was filled with Hollywood Stars wearing fabulous gowns and carrying exquisite handbags and designers shoes. The famous question of the night, asked by the like of Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Rancic, & Billy Bush, “Who are you wearing?”.  While the gowns are what everyone looks forward to on the red carpet, an Oscar-worthy gown isn’t nearly as glamorous without all the right accessories! I’m always left wondering, “what about the jewelry?”

My top jewelry picks for the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards are:

Dianna Agron from Glee in a platinum and diamond mesh collar necklace by Cathy Waterman.

Sarah Hyland from Modern Family in a gorgeous pearl accented diamond collar necklace by Mikimoto.

Jennifer Lopez wearing stunning diamond cluster earrings by Harry Winston.

Eva Longoria from Desperate Housewives in Neil Lane platinum wave brooches.

Jessalyn Gilsig from Glee in Chopard jewels. The white gold teardrop earrings boasted a whopping 53 carats of multi-colored sapphires and 17 carats of diamonds. And her gorgeous bracelet is made up of 282 carats of pink sapphires set in white and rose gold. That’s a lot of bling!!

Kyra Sedgwick!! She always looks gorgeous but she looked especially striking in a bright orange Emilio Pucci dress with an arm full of chunky, gold bangles.

Thanks Lauren, for your great eye!  Statement jewelry is definitely the trend again in 2011 as we'll be seeing a lot of bright bold colors - and Twinkle Boutique will always have gorgeous colorful  pieces to add to your accessory wardrobe! New merchandise coming soon!
