    Music Again: For Your Entertainment

    November 23, 2009 /

    If you watched last night’s American Music Awards, you might still be feeling some of the shock from the…performance? … Adam Lambert put on. Aside from the fact that it was WAY too over the top, his vocal left me wondering what happened to the voice that America had come to know during his run on American Idol. He was winded and nervous, which was apparent when he tumbled across the stage in a tuck and roll formation after tripping on his pointed black boots. He recovered, but only to continue delivering one of the most racy and sexually in-your-face performances ever aired on TV, screaming “can you handle what I’m…

    Check out the new video from Idol contestant, Allison Iraheta. The single “Friday I’ll Be Over U” is the lead single from her debut album, “Just Like You” out December 8th. The video is a little too Miley in “7 Things”, but I guess she can be the P!nk for the tween market.

    Idol Updates

    November 3, 2009 /

    It seems everywhere you turn these days there’s an Idol alum in your path, mostly because that’s the truth. About to enter its 9th season, American Idol, has run through some of America’s best talent and with each season it seems more and more of the contestants go on to be winners, despite their loss on the reality program, leaving the majority of our playlists, car stereos, and download logs to include some Idol association somewhere. This will be illustrated at this year’s American Music Awards, airing November 22nd on ABC, when Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, and Adam Lambert will all take the stage to perform their latest hits…

    Oops! She Did It Again

    In 2005, the world watched as a new country diva was born on the fourth season finale of American Idol. The first country star to come from the now juggernaut series has gone on to become not only the most successful Idol winner, but has become one of today’s biggest selling acts in music. Along side her reality competition title, Underwood has broken a number of industry records, won countless awards, including her reign as Female Vocalist of the Year, and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry only three years after her Idol win. Her successful run capped off earlier this year when she took home the Academy of…

    Falling Back and Playing On

    Hey all! Did you turn your clocks back an hour?! We are just two short days away from the release of Carrie Underwood’s third full length album! Play On is already doing quite well in pre-sales and has created quite a bit of hype with the release of one new track on iTunes each week up to it’s release. Carrie also took to her vlog to chat about the released tracks, “Mama’s Song”, “Temporary Home”, and “Undo It”. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of the album last week and am excited to share my thoughts with all of you on the eve of the album’s release.…

    Adam Lambert’s new single, “Time For Miracles”, from the movie 2012 has been released today and is getting tons of attention from the online community. While, Lambert says this is not his first official single, it is definitely creating buzz for his album, out at the end of November. Check out the video, which I think is pretty typical for a disaster movie soundtrack, but still great to see the Glambert doing his thing. |
