David Archuleta traveled to the Philippines this week to promote his new album with a concert near Manila. And, judging from the coverage I’ve seen, he received something akin to a hero’s welcome. “The Other Side of Down” could use a boost somewhere. It disappeared from the Billboard 200 last week, after just five weeks…
Considering what I’ve been reading from critics, my expectations were pretty low when I popped Lee DeWyze’s new album into my car’s CD player this morning. I figured by track five, I’d want to hit the eject button. I didn’t. It made for pleasant listening. An Idol classic? No. But, come on, folks, this isn’t…
Remember that acoustic album Adam Lambert talked about in an interview during the Glam Nation world tour a couple of weeks back? Well, it’s official. There will be an acoustic Adam Lambert EP. And it will be available Dec. 6. Adam made the announcement on his website today. The EP will include five tracks. They…
Head to Walmart Soundcheck now and you can watch and hear Lee perform five songs from his “Live It Up” album, which hits stores Tuesday. The tracks featured on Soundcheck include, of course, the single “Sweet Serendipity,” plus the title track, “Earth Stood Still,” “Dear Isabelle” and “Beautiful Like You.” Of the five, I think…
If you were watching the CMAs closely Wednesday night, commercial breaks and all, you caught a snippet of a new song by Carrie Underwood. Come Tuesday, you’ll be able to download that song.

Lee DeWyze continued the media tour to promote his post-Idol album, “Live It Up,” on Monday by appearing on Today and performing the lead single, “Sweet Serendipity.” Tuesday, he’ll celebrate the release of the album by appearing on Live with Regis and Kelly. This is certain: So far, Lee can’t celebrate too much love from…
Give Jason Castro credit for this. If Plan A doesn’t work out, he wastes no time moving along to Plan B. So a few months after releasing a self-titled pop CD, he’s back at it, pushing his new CD/EP on Christian radio. The slash is there because “Who I Am,” released Tuesday, includes five new…
Little doubt, Tim Urban is smiling right now. After all, he smiled through some pretty brutal critiques on American Idol. So there’s no reason not to smile now that he’s among the first season nine finalists to release new music, especially since he wasn’t supposed to be in the Idol finals in the first place….
The season nine Idol album I’m most anxiously awaiting now has a cover and a track list. Crystal Bowersox announced both earlier this week. According to her website, the track list below includes eight songs she wrote, two she co-wrote, a Buffalo Springfield cover (“For What It’s Worth) and the first single (“Hold On”), which was…
Gotta say, I’m a bit distraught. Earlier this week, I read an interview producer Nigel Lythgoe did with People.com about what to expect from the upcoming season of American Idol. He said the show is discovering lots of talented country singers. Great news. He said he doesn’t think the show will use guest mentors and…
