What would Idol do without Paula Abdul?

July 16, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Paula Abdul, leaving American Idol? Say it isn’t so. At least not if the alternative is Kara DioGuardi. The Internet has been buzzing with talk of Paula leaving Idol since Saturday. The speculation all stems from this story from the Los Angeles Times in which Paula’s manager says it doesn’t appear she’ll be returning to…

Will former Idols be Idolized in Vegas?

July 15, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

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?…

Time to rethink this coronation song concept, Idol

July 15, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

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…

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.

Brooke White delivers ‘High Hopes and Heartbreak’

July 13, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

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…

New music coming from Phil Stacey in August

July 11, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

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…
