Idol fans send Ace Young packing 

Ace Young was voted off the Idol island last night, leaving a final six to fight it out for this year's crown. Suprisingly, one time favorite Chris Daughtry was in the bottom three vote-getters last night. Could the "rockers" be losing favor with the American Idol faithful?

More Soundbytes:

Seems as if Queen got a boost from their music being featured on Idol, as their greatest-hits collection Stone Cold Classics, opened at number 45 on the charts selling over 25,000 copies the first week out.

Mamma Mia! The stage show based on Abba's tunes will hit the big screen as a movie. Tom Hanks and his Playtone production company are set to produce and release the film next year.

Liz Berlin of Rusted Root fame will play with her band Jazzam tonight at her club Mr. Small's Theatre in Pittsburgh. The show will also feature acts from her CREATIVE.LIFE.RECORDS label.

Ken Tizzard, formerly of Canada's The Watchman and Thornley, has released a few new songs of his own in a dramatic departure from the sound of his old bands.

Amos Lee will headline a concert at LaSalle University in Philadelphia for a "Free Tibet" group. Melody Gardot is also on the bill.

Hip-Hop video star Karrine Steffans aka "Superhead" has danced in videos alongside some big names, including Jay-Z, R. Kelly and LL Cool J. Steffans is now starring in a new "adult film" for Vivid Entertainment (home of Jenna Jameson) appropriately titled "Superhead." She was also recently rumored to be in a romantic relationship with comedian-commentator Bill Maher.
