Singer, Matt Morris, has had a very busy week in promotion celebration of his debut album, When Everything Breaks Open, available now.  He had his record release party at New York’s Drom, where he was interviewed by a slew of publications, including US Weekly.  Last night, Morris appeared on David Letterman and then again on The Early Show this morning on CBS,  singing his single, “Money”, on both programs .  A smart choice by camp-Morris, seeing as the song became quite topical last week in the wake of the disaster in Haiti.  Matt performed with a full band, including Denver musicians Dave Preston and  Jon Powers.  If you missed Matt’s…

And so it begins, Matt Morris appeared on Fox61 this morning to promote his album, When Everything Breaks Open.  You can catch Morris’ interview and performance of the track, “Love” here.  And don’t forget to check out Matt when he performs live tomorrow night on David Letterman, this weekend on CBS’ Early Show, and next Tuesday on Ellen.  But if you miss any of the action, you can, of course, check back here for all the footage.   We will have more Morris-related videos posted over the weekend to celebrate the release of his album, so check back.

If you haven’t heard the name Matt Morris, or found yourself jamming out to his tunes, you soon will.  Matt, a resident of Denver, Colorado, is prepping the release of his debut album, titled “When Everything Breaks Open”.  Coincidence?  I think not.  The soulful, pop tracks delivered on his first effort indicate that Matt is destined to break wide open. But this won’t be Morris’ first time in the spotlight.  He got his start on The New Mickey Mouse Club (and there is plenty of footage to prove it), where he acted, sung, and danced his way into the hearts of many alongside Britney Spears, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, and…

Now that it’s the new year, I think I am finally over the news of Carrie Underwood‘s engagement, and am ready to move on with my own, real life. Ha!  But, since it took us so long to recover from the devastating blow, I’ve left you gossip-less and surely in need of an update.  So, what is the world of pop music talking about to ring in the new year? Starting with Underwood news, we’re excited to announce that Carrie will make her acting debut in an upcoming episode of How I Met Your Mother.  Underwood will play Tiffany, “an enigmatic pharmaceutical sales rep and love interest” for lead character,…

  It’s a new decade – welcome to 2010 – and Idol Insider decided it was time for a new look, layout, and plan for this blog.  I am still going to report on the latest pop music news, but I will also be reviewing some of the newest releases, introducing you to new artists, and, of course, keeping you up to date on all things Idol.  I am sure that 2010 is going to be a great year for music and I am eager to share all of it with you.

Yesterday Carrie Underwood’s rep confirmed the news that Mike Fisher, her boyfriend of a year, had proposed to the country cutie. Of course, this news devastates me, leading me to spend most of the night in a dark room, drinking a bottle of whiskey, and singing “Jesus Take The Wheel” on repeat. But, now I have emerged to bring you the first photo of the bling that blinded Carrie as she accepted the proposal. Quite a Christmas present, I guess. No date or details have yet been planned for the big day, which I guess is a glimmer of hope, but it’s rumored Carrie will take her fateful walk down…

Leona Lewis provides the theme song to the upcoming blockbuster event, Avatar. And while the track is no “My Heart Will Go On”, I am sure that producers are already clearing Leona’s schedule so she can take the stage at the Academy Awards to perform the song, “I See You”. I’ve seen multiple trailers for this film and I am still unsure what it’s about, but I guess I’ll check it out when it arrives in theaters. In the meantime, here’s the theme song’s music video with the lovely and talented Leona Lewis.
