Pia Toscano

Pia Toscano and Jared Lee are taking the advice of Buddy the Elf.

The former American Idol finalist and the singer/songwriter understand that the best way to spread holiday cheer is to sing loud for all to hear.

With Jessica Sanchez already in negotiations to appear on Glee Season 4, sources now say the Fox hit may not be finished with American Idol finalists:

Pia Toscano is rumored to be closing in on a guest-starring gig.

The reality show romance between Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas has come to an end.

The ballroom guru and the American Idol finalist - who started dating soon after the latter was shockingly eliminated from season 10 - "both decided with everything going on that they couldn't give each other what would be fair," says a source. "They mutually decided this."

It's debut music video week on THG!

First, Lauren Alaina came out with "Like My Mother Does." Next, it was American Idol champion Scotty McCreery's turn with "I Love You This Big." Now, another Idol contestant has stepped into the spotlight.

So You Think You Can Dance named its final four last night, and it was a tad ironic. How so?

Because Pia Toscano, a singer many believed should have advanced at least that far on season 10 of American Idol, took to the stage and belted out a version of "This Time." The track is the first off Pia's upcoming album, which is expected to hit stores some time this fall.

Pia Toscano is officially a recording artist.

Signed to a major label, the American Idol favorite released her first single on Ryan Seacrest's radio program today. Titled "This Time," the track is off Pia's upcoming debut album.

An official member of Interscope Records, Pia Toscano will soon release her debut single.

Titled "This Time," the track will drop on on July 12, just in time for American Idol Live!, which kicks off a few days earlier and runs until September 10. Look for Pia to belt out this new track while joined on tour by Scotty McCreery and company.

It was expected for weeks, but is now official: Pia Toscano is a recording artist.

The beloved American Idol finalist has reportedly signed with Interscope Records, according to producer Antonina Armato. He told ABC News Radio this week:

Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina have both released their first singles, but many American Idol fans are actually more anxious to hear from another season 10 finalist.

When might Pia Toscano release her debut album?

American Idol castoff Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas, who are dating in real life, teamed up for a beautiful routine the Dancing With the Stars results show last night.

Pia's early exit from Idol a few weeks ago shocked many, but the girl is still in high demand. Toscano's rendition of The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You" proved why.

Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas have put those dating rumors to rest.

There's no rumor about it - this is a real relationship! Pia was introduced to Mark's mom and friends on a night out in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas are reportedly together. Romantically.

They'll definitely be together next week as the gone-too-soon American Idol outcast sings and the Dancing With the Stars pro dances on the results show!

The American Idol judges were shocked that Pia Toscano was ousted on last week's results show, and some fans are petitioning to bring her back.

Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, however, is not up in arms.

Irate American Idol fans are bombarding the show and Fox after the elimination of Pia Toscano, demanding that the singer be allowed back on this week.

To make room for her, they also demand Stefano Langone remove himself from Idol, since, not to put too fine a point on it, he sucks and has no shot.

In fun celebrity couple news bringing the worlds of American Idol and Dancing With the Stars together, Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas are dating.

Pia and Mark became acquainted while shooting their respective shows and went on their first date Friday. According to reports, it was a 10!

The stunning elimination of Pia Toscano on American Idol Thursday night will no doubt go down as one of the show's most controversial in 10 seasons.

Despite her lackluster stage presence, her talent outclassed much of the field, with many predicting she would make it all the way to the May 25 finale.

The first two elimination rounds of American Idol featured the surprising save of Casey Abrams, followed by a double ouster of Naima Adedapo and Thia Megia.

Was the third contestant voted off tonight someone we expected, or did the voters have another surprise up their sleeves after Wednesday's performances?

Pia Toscano murdered Tina Turner's classic "River Deep, Mountain High" on American Idol last night. That's meant as praise by Steven Tyler - she rocked!

"Murderer! Murderer! You killed it!" Steven says.

If it ain't broken, Pia Toscano isn't gonna fix it.

The American Idol finalist went back to the ballad well last night, covering Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and doing it very well.

Celine... Whitney... Stevie.

It's safe to say that Pia Toscano isn't afraid to take on the classics, as she stood in front of millions last night and covered "All in Love is Fair."

Tasked with singing a song that was released the year of her birth, Pia Toscano chose Whitney Houston's "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" last night.

Prior to taking the stage and wowing the judges yet again ("You are why this show is called American Idol," Steven said), we learned via montage that Pia has been covering classics since she was young.

Making an apt statement, Pia Toscano chose a Celine Dion classic last night and covered "All By Myself" during the first night on stage for the American Idol finalists.

To many, including the judges, this New York native is all by herself atop the current leaderboard.

She seemingly came out of nowhere, but Pia Toscano is here to stay.

The American Idol finalist, who received little air time prior to last week's sterling rendition of "I'll Stand By You," was thrust to the forefront of the competition after earning the first standing ovation of the season from the judges for her semifinal performance.

Do you hear that sound, Jacob Lusk? It's the beautiful voice of Pia Toscano, and it's coming for your title as Early American Idol Favorite.

This 21-year old from New York stood proudly at the microphone during last night's semifinal round and belted out a version of The Pretenders "I'll Stand By You." Finishing with a powerful flourish, she earned the first standing ovation of the season from Steven, J. Lo and Randy.
