Candice Glover.  Kree Harrison.  Angie Miller.  One of those ladies will be the next American Idol.  One of them will finish this season in third place.  Last night, our remaining Idol hopefuls took the stage and performed three songs a piece with one goal in mind . . . making the Idol finale.  So, who stepped up?  Who, as Randy Jackson would say, is really "in it to win it."  And who may be missing her ultimate dream by just a single episode.  Let's check in with WBKR's American Idol expert, Steve Thompson!

Faith Hill announced last month that her intro duties for Sunday Night Football would be ending after six seasons. As a big football fan, I've grown accustom to watching Faith kick off every Sunday night game. And, to be honest, I sing along with her and get up and dance too! So, for me to think of anyone else but Faith performing "Waiting All Day For Sunday Night', I get a little concerned. But, they've recently announced who her replacement is, have you heard?!? SHE is a fellow country music superstar AND has equally hot legs! Any guesses??

Today on Confessions of a Country Music DJ!  I never buy CD's.  Seriously, I really don't.  The summer I graduated high school I worked at Disc Jockey inside Towne Square Mall and I think I gave just about every paycheck back to Terry Woodward.  I used to buy CD's all the time and then, with the advent of ITunes, stopped cold in my tracks. ITunes is to music what Whitman's was to the Sampler, right?   But, the other day, I caved and bought my first CD in years.  And it wasn't country (insert gasp)!  And it's a CD that is setting HUGE records in the UK!  It's not even American (insert another gasp)!  In fact, Emeli Sande (who is my new non-country obsession and my favorite new Brit) just broke a record that was held by The Beatles for nearly five decades . . .

Country music icon, Willie Nelson, is coming to The Centre in Evansville TONIGHT.  Willie  is bringing his Willie Nelson & Family tour to town and we have been celebrating over the last couple of months with ticket giveaways and more.  A few weeks ago, we had a TAD POLL about Willie during The WBKR Waking Crew.  And that poll was . . . What is YOUR favorite Willie Nelson song?  I don't have to hesitate a second to name mine.  It's Willie's classic "Always on My Mind."  And, I must say, there are several versions of that song I absolutely love.  While Brenda Lee recorded the original version, it's a handful of covers that are on my mind.  Check these out.

I have been there and it really sucks.  It is very disappointing when you find out that the concert you bought tickets for and that have been looking forward to has been canceled.  But it happens . . . for a variety of reasons and, sometimes, just cannot be helped.

Okay, I will admit it.  I don't know where I have been or how I missed this show.  But, over the weekend, I was flipping through channels and came across an episode of The Will: Family Secrets Revealed.  Have you all heard of this?  It's a show about deaths and family struggles over wills and inheritance.  It's really bizarre and, quite frankly, embarrassing.  And, get this.  The episode I happened across was about Conway Twitty.  Check this out!
