Lee DeWyze isn't the only Season 9 finalist celebrating a birthday today -- finalist Aaron Kelly turns 19 today! He tweeted, "Can't believe I'm 19 today, wow thanks for all of the birthday wishes everyone :)"

Remembering Whitney Houston
It's an unreal feeling to even type that subject line. Whitney Houston has had one of the most profound impacts on singers today, including the American Idols. Her vocals are unmatchable, as judge Randy Jackson always advises the Idol contestants to avoid singing a song by the big three: Whitney, Mariah, and Celine.
