    EXCLUSIVE: Paradiso Girls In Denver

    May 15, 2009 /

    When The Paradiso Girls stopped in Denver for a performance at Club Beta, you know I had to be there. It was a beautiful Sunday night and one for the history books as far as partying is concerned. The club wasn’t packed due to some unfortunate promotion, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the night and these lovely ladies. The girls performed a short set of songs from their debut album, Crazy Horse, due out later this year, including “Who’s My Bitch” and their new single, “Patron Tequila”. The single, which is sure to become a summer smash and club anthem, is currently #64 on iTunes and climbing. The…

    Idol Update

    May 14, 2009 /

    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…

    Forgetting Danny Gokey

    May 12, 2009 /

    During his recent visit to his hometown of Milwaukee, Danny Gokey, chose to sing “Billie Jean”, his song choice for the Michael Jackson themed show. Unfortunately for Mr. Gokey, he didn’t bother to practice or learn the lyrics. At the very beginning of the performance, his lyric sheet blew away and he proceeds to spend the rest of the song stumbling around like a real amateur. I’m sure the Idol folks will “forget” to include this in his footage on tonight’s show. Lucky for us, a fan captured the whole thing…

    "I’m on Patron Tequila, I’m drunk on Margaritas"

    Hey kids, exciting news! Tonight I get to watch The Paradiso Girls take the stage at Beta in Denver to kick off their first club tour. Denver is their first stop and I predict it’s only going to explode from here. Their first single, “Patron Tequila” is already becoming a cult favorite and is sure to be summer hit and huge club banger! The single is available on iTunes now, so if you don’t have it, you should. The girls are the newest bunch of beauties hand picked by the one and only, Robin Antin, who created The Pussycat Dolls and Girlicious. If you watched the reality series, The Pussycat…

    Fight For Love…And The Spotlight

    May 8, 2009 /

    Idol’s Season 5 contestant, Elliott Yamin, celebrated mild success with his first, self-titled, album, but he’s back with his sophomore album, Fight For Love. Today, we bring you the video for the first single and title track. He’s definitely got a talent, but he’s missing the star factor that Carrie & Kelly have brought us from years past. He’s a fighter, so I don’t think this is the last time we’ll hear from him. Lois, this one’s for you!

    Results Show Spectacular!

    May 7, 2009 /

    Last night’s Idol results show really showed up in a big way. Although, I think the thing is rigged – Alison definitely should have stayed, while Danny should have gone-key! But, the performances from last night’s show were awesome! I wouldn’t have predicted this, but Paula Abdul performance was the highlight of the show. Her comeback performance screamed that she’s ready to be back on top and she was twirling, flipping, and dancing her butt off to prove just that. Then, No Doubt, performed one of their biggest hits, “Just A Girl”, which seemed a little off, but hey they’ve been out of the scene for a while, so they’re…
