Back in March, when David Cook played a show at Penn State York, the 1,000-plus seat Pullo Performing Arts Center sold out in a week. His debut album had recently gone platinum; his tour of college campuses was well under way. Six months later, the season seven American Idol is still on tour and preparing…

Kat’s new album pushed back

September 15, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Katharine McPhee fans anxious to hear her new album are going to have to wait a little longer than expected. The release date, previously announced as Oct. 6, has been pushed back to Jan. 5. I’ve read some conjecture that Jan. 5 is just a dummy date because, after all, who releases an album right…

David Cook fans are all abuzz today. Someone discovered 30-second snippets of 11 songs many fans had not heard before on the Cherry Tree Lane Music Group Web site.

September 14, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Call it Ellen DeGeneres versus Paula Abdul round two. I asked several more Idol fans what they thought of Ellen replacing Paula on the show at the Bucky Covington concert Sunday night.

Bucky Covington rocks York Fair’s country stage

September 13, 2009 By Mark Franklin 1

Sunday’s show on the Great Country Radio Stage was listed as an acoustic performance on the York Fair schedule. Apparently, no one told Bucky Covington, because he showed up with his full band. Which turned out to be a good thing, since he planned on delivering as kick-butt a country concert as you’re likely to…

They showed up in raincoats, hoodies or covered in plastic. Some wore boots to wade through the mud. They turned out to see the gal they rooted for back on season one of American Idol, the gal they still follow. Kelly Clarkson is seven years and four albums into her post-Idol career. But a remarkable…

If you’re heading to what’s promising to be a wet Kelly Clarkson performance at the York Fair tonight, you might want to be familiar with this name as well: Eric Hutchinson.

Ellen: Expect honesty, without the bikini

September 11, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

What should we expect from new judge Ellen DeGeneres when season nine of American Idol starts next year? Expect honesty, she tells the Associated Press, in the story I’ve pasted below, which moved Thursday. Don’t expect her to get into a bathing suit duel with the likes of Bikini Girl. I, for one, am looking…
