Once
Under the watchful eye of Quentin Tarantino, the Idols took on movie anthems last night.
Allison was first singing “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” from Armageddon, a movie that makes us cry every damn time we watch it (“Daddy, don’t go!”) but a song we’re sick and tired of. She sang it with incredible power and verve but it was too close to the Aerosmith version, only not as good. Get that girl a microphone festooned with scarves. We give it a 6 out of 10.
That adorable Irish independent film from 2006 that won an Oscar for Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the movie’s stars/songwriters, who fell in love for real on the set?
They broke up.
Bummer.
The pair picked up an Oscar for Best Original Song award for their duet “Falling Softly” from the film’s soundtrack.
Even though their relationship is over, they continue to perform together.

Hollywood is taking over Broadway.
Once, the 2006 indie hit, is being adapted for the Broadway stage and is expected to premiere during the 2010/2011 season.
The film earned its unknown stars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova a Best Song Oscar for "Falling Slowly." We hope they’ll be included in this production. They were so amazing.
