    TONIGHT: Idol Finale

    May 19, 2009 /

    Tonight, watch as underdog, Kris Allen, takes on the Season 8 front runner, Adam Lambert (aka Glambert) in the Idol showdown. Tonight’s episode will pit the two against each other, both performing three songs. The first round will feature the contestants favorite performances of the season. My guess is Kris will go with last week’s “Heartless”, while Lambert will likely choose “Mad World”. The second song choice will be that of ex-Idol producer, Simon Fuller. In the past this song choice was that of Clive Davis’, but I guess they’ve opted out of that this year. Then, finally, the contestants will sing the winner’s single, “This Is How I Want…

    So, I know that it was over a week ago and while I was under the impression everyone has seen this, seeing as it has become a internet sensation, I have been informed of a number of people that have not! So, I bring you the hilarious sequel to “Dick In A Box” by Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg. They score again…literally! Check out why it’s Mother’s Day all year long:

    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…
