Fresh off her Grammy win for Best R&B Album, Jennifer Hudson is heading out on tour with Robin Thicke. And two of the first shows of the tour are in this area, an April 4 show at the Lyric Theatre in Baltimore; and an April 5 show at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. Tickets…
Alexis Grace isn’t quite 5 feet tall. She weighs less than 100 pounds. But she has a big voice. And no one should be too shocked by her ability to belt out soul songs. Her father is a bass player in the Memphis area and has backed Ann Peebles, a pretty accomplished singer/songwriter who recorded…
She laughed her way into our hearts during the auditions. Her aura is so transcending, she infected not one, but two groups of singers during Hollywood Week’s Group Night. She has been selfless, tearfully thanking all the little people who have had a hand in her success. Clearly, Brent Keith isn’t quite sure what to…
Last week, I introduced you to The Idol Experience, the new attraction at Disney World in Florida. This week, Randy Flaum, assistant managing editor and visuals editor at The York Dispatch, visited the attraction. Here’s his blog on the experience: “Remember this name: Aaron Kelly. “The 15-year-old Tennessean won the right to get to the…
Remember season two Idol winner Ruben Studdard? Thursday morning Ruben announced plans to release his new album, “Love Is,” on May 19. The first single from the album, “Together,” is going to radio this week; his MySpace page lists a March 17 release date for it. “Love Is” will be the fourth album from Ruben….
Did you hear that loud whooshing sound Tuesday night? That was the sigh of relief from tens of thousands of American Idol fans when they found out Tatiana Del Toro did not win a spot in the final 12. Oh, those sly folks at Fox sure know how to make us worry. First they credit…
Good news, Michael Johns’ fans. He’ll have a new album out this spring. Michael and Carly Smithson sang “The Letter” together on American Idol’s results show Wednesday night. And Michael shared the good news about his album, though he didn’t provide a specific release date. Meanwhile, Michael said his new single, “Heart on My Sleeve”…
Well, we’re 20 minutes into tonight’s results show, and we’re already getting some results. That might set an Idol record. But they’re starting off with the easy ones. Casey Carlson, gone. Stephen Fowler, gone. And now they’ve called Alexis to center stage. She’d better not be gone, or America got it wrong. Great news, Alexis…
Have I mentioned that I hate Idols’ new format for the semifinals? Have I mentioned how unfair it is to have so many of these semifinalists ousted after singing just one song? Have I mentioned how unfair it is that the judges are playing favorites? I mean, last night, it was pretty obvious they were…
Okay, here we go, live blogging on episode one of the semifinals. VoteForTheWorst.com posted a list of songs the contestants are supposedly going to sing tonight … one song per contestant. Man, I hope they’re wrong. This is a two-hour show. In Idol-land, a song lasts 1:30. One song per contestant would translate into 18…
