Season seven Idols have been making all sorts of music news lately. David Cook just performed at the Major League All-Star Home Run Derby. Brooke White and Michael Johns just released albums. Carly Smithson joined a new band. Ever wonder what became of David Hernandez, the guy who finished 12th on Idol last year. No?…
Turns out “No Boundaries” had all sorts of boundaries. First, the Idol coronation song failed to become a hit for Kris Allen, peaking at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 200 then dropping like a rock off Idol judge Kara Dioguardi’s imaginery mountain. That’s as badly as one of these songs has ever done. Now…
Chris Daughtry and the other members of Daughtry appeared on the Today Show this morning, celebrating the release of their second album, “Leave This Town.” The Today Show set included performances of “Home,” “It’s Not Over,” and “No Surprise,” the latter the lead single from the new album. You can check out video of the…
Folks anxious to catch the new live version of “Dreamgirls,” starring Syesha Mercado from Idol season seven, are in luck. Tour dates were announced Monday and Baltimore, Md., is the first stop after the show debuts at the Apollo Theatre in New York from Nov. 7 to Dec. 6. The show will be at the…
Album release day is here for the guys from Daughtry, and fans of the band will have an opportunity to hear lots from them in the days to come. Not that I imagine they’ll be complaining. The Daughtry blitz begins Tuesday morning with an appearance on NBC’s Today’s Show to celebrate the release of “Leave…
There’s a story behind Brooke White’s latest single, “Radio, Radio.” It has to do with a decrepit TV. And Brooke shared it during a live Webcast last week. “When I was a kid, we grew up listening to music non-stop pretty much because we had a piece of crap television that was about 15 inches…
Hey, for Idol fans, the next two weeks are a big deal. Daughtry’s long-awaited second album hits stores Tuesday. Season six winner Jordin Sparks will be back with album number two next Tuesday. Brooke White, from season seven, releases her post-Idol debut Tuesday on iTunes and next Tuesday in stores. To celebrate the occasion, I…
Add Phil Stacey to the long list of Idol contestants with plans to release an album this year. When last we heard from Phil, he had released a country album in April 2008. It wasn’t exactly a smash hit for the top-six finisher from season six of Idol. The best-performing single from the self-titled disc…
In spite of two versions of the awful “No Boundaries” (one by Kris Allen, one by Adam Lambert), the American Idol season eight album debuts at number 34 this week on the Billboard Hot 200 albums chart. That means the album sold nearly 14,000 copies, according to AmericanIdol.com. In case you missed the earlier blog…
Brooke White announced a pre-release of her new album and sang three songs from the CD during a live Webcast Thursday evening. After technical difficulties delayed the start of her USTREAM concert on Facebook for 34 minutes — and even then the broadcast was in audio only — Brooke started the show with her current…
