Rounds, who sang "I'm Every Woman," and Desai, who performed "Dim All the Lights," had both faced elimination in recent weeks by repeatedly placing among the bottom vote-getters, and both seemed resigned to their fates.
Streisand says she can "relax" after Obama victory
NEW YORK - Barbra Streisand's liberal political voice rose to a crescendo in last year's U.S. presidential race but the singing legend says the election of President Barack Obama has allowed her to relax. During her 2006 singing tour, she was joined onstage by an actor portraying former President George W.

Poor DVD sales hamper U.S. film financing deals
LOS ANGELES - As the credit crisis forces banks to scale back investments in Hollywood, a weak DVD market -- long an industry growth driver -- is adding to the challenges of getting films financed.

DVD sales are estimated to have fallen 6 percent last year.
