aaron sang "Aint No Sunshine"

Aaron was a top performer

4- Aaron Kelly – Aaron ended the show with Bill Wither’s Ain’t No Sunshine. This kid is getting better every week. He has great tone to his voice and he’s even starting to lose that stupid country twang that he had in the beginning. Love the Kris Allen twist he threw on it toward the end (which, by the way, might be the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard). Nice touch. Made it more acoustic than the original. On the downside, it took some of the soul out of it. Still, one of the top performances of the night.

Sonestown has "idol fever'

On Tuesday, March 23, Aaron Kelly pounded out a performance of Aerosmith’s "I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing" in spite of some difficulties he was experiencing with his voice earlier that week. This performance impressed the judges, and impressed the fans that vote for Aaron week after week. Because of his strong fan base, he landed in the Top 10 on American Idol, earning him a spot on the upcoming tour.




But in his hometown of Sonestown, Pa., Aaron is already considered a winner!

Aaron is what Idol is about..

Great song choice to me, this kid epitomizes what AI is all about. He has a great story, and you can tell he grows with confidence each week. I love his tone, and the way he uses his voice at 16 is pretty impressive. The performance wasn’t the greatest, but he held it down considering he is battling tonsillitis. I’m really pulling for him.

He tweeted that he lost it :(. So we dont know what's going to happen tonight. Lets all VOTE VOTE VOTE. We need to show our support.

Aaron Kelly birthday project.

Aaron is turning 17 next week. One of his fans on twitter inkamilla is doing some kind of birthday scrapbook for him. If you can try to do it.

So Aaron's turning 17 soon (April 2..that's next week!) and I'm sure he loves receiving fan mail...so why don't all of fans gather to make one big birthday project for him?




Basically...I'm thinking of making a scrapbook for Aaron's birthday and we can all collaborate to make it together. You can make it on the computer or you can send it to me by mail (although you might not get it to me in time...so I suggest e-mailing me your part). In the rare case that you'd like to send me your part by mail...tell me so and I'll PM you my mailing address.



It'll be a basic 8.5x11 sized book that I'll hole punch and string together. I have printers at my school...so decorate your page with whatever you wish! Also...I'm not sure how many of us there are...but I'm going to say that you can contribute a max of 2 pages to this birthday book...for now at least.



Your page can have anything on it! Make sure that it has a birthday wish and that it's for Aaron...hahaha. You can have pictures of him, yourself, a letter to him, graphics, etc. Be creative so he'll enjoy it when he receives it! Your page should also have your name on it (doesn't have to be a full name...could be your user name if you're uncomfortable giving your name out!). If you want...you can put your location so Aaron can know how many fans he has all over the world (like CANADA! XD ).



You can e-mail me your pages as attachments (mila_bordt92@hotmail.com) OR upload them and @reply me with your link! Make sure they'll print as 8.5x11!

Aarons itunes review

Aaron Kelly – “Angie” – Aaron’s recorded voice sounds good. I wouldn’t say he’s not connecting to the lyrics, but I’m not hearing the deep heartbreak the lyrics of this song convey. I found that when I listened to Aaron’s live performance, without looking at it, I liked it more. – Get it at iTunes

Aaron is safe for another week!!!

Aaron was safe for another week. How could he not be with how good he was singing 'Angie'. We need to make him safe for another week. Use two phones or power text. Use the gizmo. I dont care just vote,vote and vote!!!!

AARON KELLY FANS ARE TWANGERS!!!!

The Aaron Kelly poll was very successful. The name "Twangers" got the most votes. They had 13 votes. 23 people voted all together!!!  The least favorite was AaronAngels. We didnt want to upset Archie Fans with that name anyway. We just used it as another name.

Stay tuned for the next poll. What genre do you think Aaron will sing off-idol?

Aaron does "Angie" proud

I've thought for a while that Aaron Kelly might be one of the contestants to most benefit by being forced into theme weeks. It seems to have worked for him this week -- his version of Angie is sweet, tender and just the right amount of sad. And there's just the tiniest bit of rasp at the end of his phrases. Now that he's not having to try to sing like Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox or Lonestar's Richie McDonald, his own voice gets to shine through. That was pretty cool.

Aaron was one of the best last night..

Aaron Kelly — “Angie”

Sixteen-year-old Aaron, who hails from from Sonestown, Pennsylvania (where there are only about 50 houses, y’all!) ends up sounding like O-Town covering the Rolling Stones. But you know what? We’ll take it. The kiddo’s got star quality that Tim Urban and Andrew Garcia only wish they possessed half of. In his interviews he comes across as an “aw, shucks” shy guy, but when he’s on stage, Kelly really comes alive. Ellen correctly points out that Aaron and Siobhan gave the two performances that stand out for the evening. Simon adds that the teenager “absolutely 100% chose the right song.”

PA loves Aaron

On March 11, American Idol revealed the season's Top 12 finalists. Among those finalists was Sonestown, Pa.'s Aaron Kelly, a 16-year-old whose story of a struggling childhood won over the hearts of judges during audition week last summer in Orlando, Fla.




And Kelly has been stirring a buzz in his small hometown of Sonestown, Pa., where many of the locals already familiarized themselves with Kelly's stage presence at area events such as the Troy Fair in 2008, and performances at the Bloomsburg Fair for two of the past three years.

Rolling Stone Week....

Aaron is going to sing a Rolling Stone song. I know its not in his wheelhouse. He's more of a country-pop person. This is why we need to really really vote and hurt our fingers again. He's so going to
come back in a better performance. My idea is he's going to put a country spin on a rolling stone
ballad. Anyway...vote next week...

Pennsylvania loves Aaron Kelly

This week, singer Aaron Kelly, a finalist on Fox’s “American Idol” with Pennsylvania ties, kept his cool and a spot in the finals.




For Kelly and his fans, it’s been a great ride. The chance to cheer on a talented hometown kid has given the most jaded midstaters a good reason to watch the show. And Kelly’s will-he-make-it story line has provided a break from the bleak news elsewhere.

Aaron singing "Already There"

Aaron 'technically' might have the best vocals...

:39 – Aaron Kelly is singing Lonestar’s “I’m already There.” It’s not the most exciting song in the world, but he’s doing OK. He’ll be safe for sure. Technically he might have the best vocal talent among the guys.Randy: “The thing you should work on is the lower notes. a job well done, but still some work to do.”Ellen: “You have the confidence of someone so much older. I just didn’t think that was terrific.”Kara: “That song is not relevant to your life.”Simon: “What Kara said is rubbish. it wasn’t a great vocal, but what it did have was emotion. It’s just a nice song.”

http://tweetgazette.com/american-idol/spoiler-alert-were-live-blogging-tonights-american-idol-top-8-guys/

Aaron did a good job

Aaron Kelly: Solid version of "I'm Already There." We're glad Simon shut Kara up about taking the song so literally and making it seem like a young crooner couldn't take it on.

Who Is Aaron Kelly?

MYFOXNY - Hailing from Sonestown, Pa., 16-year-old Aaron Kelly is one of the youngest and "nicest" contestants to make it to the top 24 on season nine of "American Idol."

The Philadelphia Inquirer describes the country crooner as "babyfaced" and "shy", but says he "sang with enough confidence and style to survive the cut."

Aaron Kelly, the next american idol winner

American Idol, Season 9, there are few promising acts, but one who stands out right now is Aaron Kelly, the 16-year old singing sensation. I’m “guesstting” on him as the next American Idol winner for season 9.




Aaron Kelly is likeable, naturally talented, and he’s good-looking (cute), thus there will be lots of young girls, groupies, from all across America voting and cheering for him to the end.

Aaron impresses us with raw talent

Seattle Times tell's us that Aaron impresses with us with raw talent. Arent we already impressed?

Next to take the stage is young Aaron Kelly. He forgot the words during the Hollywood round, but still got through. Let's see if he can handle the pressure. He's singing "Here Comes Goodbye," by Rascal Flatts. And he's doing a great job! I truly am having David Archuleta flashbacks, especially with the high note at the end (and that bodes well for Aaron).

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/idolconfessions/2011178839_idolkelley24.html

"Our American Idol"

According to "American Idol" judges, Sonestown's Aaron Kelly should have no worries about advancing to the next round on the show, based on his performance Wednesday night.
At 16, Kelly is the youngest contestant in this ninth season of the show to advance to the Top 24. His rendition of Rascal Flatts' "Here Comes Goodbye" left judges Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres with one conclusion that Jackson put best: He's got some big pipes for a little guy.

Is Aaron David Archuleta and Kevin Covias put together?

I thought this was funny. He kinda doesnt look like Kevin and Archie put together.

Among the faces in the top 24 of American Idol’s season 9, one may be familiar — sort of. Aaron Kelly, 16, of Sonestown, Pa., looks a bit like a season 5’s Kevin Covias (a.k.a. Chicken Little) and a bit like season 7’s David Archuleta (a.k.a. Cutie Pie).

Aaron is a "rising star" on idol

This is a brief article about Aarons background and his future

Sonestown, Pennsylvania is a small town located in Sullivan County that boasts a population of just over 900. But Sonestown is also home to 16-year old Aaron Kelly - a hopeful on Hollywood’s American Idol.


Kelly’s story of a difficult childhood, combined with his strong vocal abilities, has helped earn Kelly a spot in the Top 24 performers of this season’s preview of American Idol.

But the story behind Kelly is one that won over the hearts of the judges, as well as many of the viewers that are tuning in to see who will earn this year’s title as an American Idol.

Teen pursues his "dream"

Kelly has become one of the front-runners in this year’s “Idol.” His renditions of such country pop tunes as “Angels” and “Here Comes Goodbye” have impressed the show’s judges and viewers. Many online pundits are comparing him to season seven’s runner-up, David Archuleta, and predicting he will likely make it to the final round.

Aaron just wants to make his fans happy.

Aaron talks to. He answers questions and more!!!

Theme night he'd enjoy: "A cool theme would be to have contestants write a song with somebody and perform it."



Theme night he'd be anxious about: "Maybe disco. I'm a terrible dancer."


Most proud of: His first night of Hollywood Week. "Watching it on TV, it was probably my best vocal performance."


Why should he be the next Idol? "I'm young, and I just want to make other people happy with my music. Even if I didn't win, I'd be happy with where I'm at right now."

Aaron Kelly could be a front runner

Sullivan County native Aaron Kelly is a front-runner to be next American Idol

If you’ve been watching the new season of “American Idol” — and judging by the ratings you probably have — you’ve no doubt taken notice of a fresh-faced teenage contestant by the name of Aaron Kelly.
Well, now you have an extra reason to cheer him on: He’s a local boy.
Well, sort of. The 16-year-old country music singer lives in Sonestown in Sullivan County, near Williamsport. Not exactly right next door, but not too far up the road, either.

BuddyTV.com wrote about how Aaron will win Idol.

On the final night of American Idol auditions before Hollywood Week begins, we met young Aaron Kelly. You'd be smart to remember that name, because you're going to be hearing it a lot over the next few months

The sweet 16-year-old Aaron is the perfect contestant coming in at the perfect time, and I feel confident that he'll get very far in this competition, with a strong possibility of winning the whole thing. How can I be so sure Aaron Kelly is American Idol material? All you need to do is look at the facts.
