The remaining seventy contestants of American Idol were up for a challenge this week, being put into groups of three and four, singing music from the 50s or 60s. The Idol hopefuls took over the stage in Cirque du Soleil’s Viva Elvis Theatre at Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and gave the performance of their lives. Finally, Idol delivered two hours of nonstop musical entertainment.
Cari Quoyser, Chase Likens, Skylar Laine, and Colton Dixon brought such a sweetness to the stage and opened the night with great satisfaction. This era fits Quoyser perfectly, don’t you think? The judges did not think that this performance was her best though and unfortunately, she was cut. What a disappointment. Laine was the one worrying about hitting her notes and not ruining the sound of the group with her distinct country sound… but she wasn’t the one the judges were concerned about.

What happened in Vegas? American Idol revealed its top 40 contestants. It was a tough night as the 70 remaining singers were asked to perform tunes from the '50s or '60s in groups. "It isn't just about the vigorous vocal rehearsals," Ryan Seacrest said. Contestants had to put together a "complete performance package," including choreography and costumes before taking the stage in front of the judges. Some sailed through as a group, like youngsters David Leathers, Jr., Jeremy Rosado, Ariel Sprague and Gabi Carrubba, who sang "Rocking Robin" in a "job well done," according to Randy Jackson. Adam Brock, Erika Van Pelt,...

Last night, we saw American Idol hopefuls sing in groups and by themselves and then learn their respective fates in those garish, chairless rooms.
Over the next two hours, the 69 remaining contestants will travel to Las Vegas to perform on the Viva Elvis stage in their last bid to make it to the Top 40. What happens in Vegas tonight isn't staying in Vegas. Some contestants will return to La while some will be going home.
Ryan's voiceover promises that tonight will be full of drama and surprises. I mean, it is Vegas after all, and anything can happen.
Prior to leaving La, contestants formed groups of 3 to 4 for their Vegas performances and were assigned a song from the 50s or 60s. Upon arriving in Las Vegas, they immediately got to work rehearsing with one of the American Idol vocal coaches. All contestants will face the possibility of elimination immediately upon the end of their performance.

With 70 contestants still standing, “American Idol” kicked it old school in Las Vegas with songs from the 50s and 60s. Singers performed in groups of three and four and each team was styled and costumed for the first time. And unlike pretty much every episode so far this season, nobody fainted, fell off the stage, or got rushed to the hospital. But there was drama, and there were, of course tears.
That’s because what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay…...

Yes, K. D. Barker's On the Shoulders of Giants is more sci-fi than horror, but once you get a look at its ridiculously fun teaser trailer, we think you'll dig on the flick's retro vibe and agree it's worthy of coverage here on Dread Central.
Plus, as Barker tells us, one of the film's underlying themes is the 'horror' of how a technology, once invented with all the best will, can ultimately be put to terrifying destructive use.
On the Shoulders of Giants stars Sarah Wood and Adam Lee, and the filmmakers are aiming for a release in the summer of 2012. We'll keep you posted on their progress, and in the meantime check out the rather lengthy synopsis below along with the teaser, a few stills, and an early poster design by one of the SFX guys.
