Britney Spears: Femme Fatale
With only a week remaining until the reigning Princess of Pop, Britney Spears, drops her seventh studio album, you can already hear the music industry’s most well-oiled machines greasing up to embark on the next era in the entertainer’s career. It doesn’t seem long ago that those keyboard power chords of “Baby One More Time” first impacted our stereo. Yet with so much personal turmoil and public scrutiny it’s hard to remember some of the professional highlights from the seasoned star, who’s closing in on 20 years in the industry. One thing that is not hard to forget however, is the formula. Each of the last six Spears albums delivered…

The Best Of 2010
As I prepare to celebrate another year’s end, I can’t help but reminisce about the whirlwind year that has passed by so quickly. If 2010 brought one thing, it was great music. Some of the best albums of the new millennium’s decade popped up in its last year and I was there salivating over each and every note. This year also granted me access to some new discovery, as I traveled to music festivals across the country, including South By Southwest and The UMS, discovering bright new gems to add to my ever growing playlist. And finally, my year ended with a move east to the “Crazy Town”: Nashville, Tennessee.…

Katy Perry Is A Long Shot
She has one of the hottest albums of the 2008/2009 season, she’s penned some awesome, radio-friendly tunes, and landed two of the stand out tracks on Kelly Clarkson’s latest, All I Ever Wanted. Thankfully for all of us, Kelly did a much better with the track “Long Shot” than Katy’s original demo. Here’s a extremely low budget music video for the song that Katy put together before her days of kissing girls. THOUGHTS?

Idol Update
As you may have noticed, I gave up my Idol recaps – mainly due to the fact that the show has become a little bit of a joke this year. Don’t get me wrong, the contestants are better than ever, but the judges banter, Ryan’s staircase, the news that the bottom three are not “accurate”, and the overly hyped pre-taped performances each week. It’s just a little sad that this show has become more generic than ever. And why are the judges all over the magazine covers, rather than the contestants? Does anyone really care if Paula and Kara are feuding? I certainly don’t and I since my recaps started…

Idol Update
As we know, next week’s theme is Rock Week, which should suit most of the contestants left, and Slash will be the guest mentor. Does he actually talk??? I guess, we’ll see. But the really exciting news we have for you is not about the contestants performances, but, instead, the results show. Not only will No Doubt be performing their new single, “Stand And Deliver”, but past Idol contestant, Chris Daughtry, will also be debuting his band’s new single from their sophomore album. We can’t wait – it promises to be a great show. And the new Idol songs don’t stop there. Jordin Sparks, season 6 winner, will debut her…
