    The Video and Backlash

    November 25, 2009 /

    In the wake and backlash of Adam Lambert’s controversial performance at the AMA’s his label has released the video to accompany his first single, “For Your Entertainment”. The video, however, features no man-on-man action, leaving me to wonder why he didn’t just opt for a similar performance to mimic the video – it would have given him more range to showcase his talented vocals. Take a look and leave your thoughts. In related news, Lambert has been canceled from his GMA this morning. ABC released a statement yesterday saying they didn’t want to take any chances that early in the morning on a performance that might resemble Sunday night’s. CBS,…

    AMAze Balls!

    November 24, 2009 /

    Sunday night’s American Music Awards coverage might have been trumped by Adam Lambert’s over-the-top performance, but if you missed the awards then you missed some great performances. So in Idol Insider fashion, here is all my highlights – and if you’re looking for Whitney’s “comeback”, look elsewhere as I give it the most over-hyped performance of the evening. Janet Jackson’s Medley of Hits, including her touching rendition of “Together Again”: Kelly Clarkson beautifully delivers her latest single, “Already Gone”: Jay Z and Alicia Keys kill it on Empire State of Mind: Carrie Underwood leaves me speechless with another incredible performance of “Cowboy Casanova”: Lady GaGa is weird and creepy in…

    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…

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.…
