Steve Vai, Orianthi Panagaris and Mary J Blige do Stairway to Heaven..
With an all star cast on American Idol.

I found this browsing around Youtube, I don't normally care for American Idol but this was a pretty good cover of an old rock classic.

1. Don't worry, you can watch American Idol and still be a Progressive.

The contestants were mostly really bad this year, but they had some great current acts on the elimination nights. I thought that cover was pretty hot too.

Mary J Blige was a guest judge this season, she was pretty darn good at it.

3. I don't even own a TV..
All my entertainment comes over the net..

I'm starting to make my own videos though, here's one I did the other day, I used my digital pocket camera, VirtualDub, Deshaker and Windows Movie Maker.

6. I guess.
I don't usually mind covers, but covers of perfect songs like "Stairway" need to be special enough to justify the cover. This wasn't even close IMO, it sounded phoned-in.

5. I liked it, although
I don't think Mary J. Blige was right for the song. Blige was working very hard, and it showed.
