Michael Lynche wins the day

The ten remaining male finalists took their shots on American Idol last night, and it looks like Michael Lynche came out victorious out of the whole lot. It looks like his cover of “It’s a Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World” by James Brown really hit the spot, even Simon Cowell thought so: “That was exactly the right kind of song for you.” Kara DioGuardi was of course the one to utter the biggest words: “You went from being a singer to someone who could potentially be a great artist.” The other judges weren’t far from her opinion either. Michael Lynche really sold it so he doesn’t have to worry about going home this week. The future, however is as of yet uncertain and the next disciple to the Earl of Exigency must be ready to face the many daunting tasks ahead.

You can find some of the craziest stuff going up on auction and not even the property of James Brown is exempt from that list. Tons of the music legend’s stuff will be sold by Christie’s in August. The auctioning off of the items has already drawn the ire of Brown’s kids and the supposed fourth wife Tomi Rae Hynie Brown but it still has to take place as a judge has ordered back in February that some of the gear be auctioned to pay legal bills and overdue estate taxes. According to reports, the late singer’s estate is in financial trouble and needs $1.6 million to pay just this year’s bills.
