Scotty McCreery might need to practice his lip-sync techniques after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade flub, but he’s doing just fine on the music charts. After being bumped to number two on the country album chart by Miranda Lambert’s “Four the Record,” Scotty is back in the top spot this week. His “Clear As Day” debut…
Two of the final nine go home tonight on The X Factor. The low vote-getter automatically gets the boot. Astro, anyone? The second and third lowest vote-getters will get one last save-me performance to impress the judges. Not that the judges seem to have been very swayed by the save-me performances so far. In the meantime,…
At the end of Tuesday’s special Thanksgiving episode of The X Factor, it’s pretty clear Simon Cowell and company should be thankful for two things. 1. For any viewer who watched the entire two-hour episode live. We were more than 20 minutes into the episode before we heard the second song of the night. This…
When Rock Week turned into the train wreck Simon predicted it might, but won’t admit it did, I joked that the best rock performance all night was a snippet of Kelly Clarkson singing “Stronger” (aka “What Doesn’t Kill You”) in a car commercial. Well guess who will be performing on American Idol — oops, The…
If you missed the American Music Awards last night, you missed a performance of Daughtry’s new single, “Crawling Back to You.” Apparently, Chris wasn’t thrilled with the way the song sounded on TV. “Really bums me out when a performance sounds so good on stage, but the TV mix sounds so out of balance,” he…
Album release day has arrived for James Durbin, and fans are apparently loving what they’re hearing. The Season 10 rocker’s debut album — Memories of a Beautiful Disaster — is available for download today (at iTunes, you get two bonus tracks) and will hit stores tomorrow. James co-wrote five of the album’s 11 base tracks. …
Anyone who can do basic math knew this was coming. It’s double elimination week on The X Factor, where I imagine producers decided we need twice as much motivation to tune in since it’s Thanksgiving week. Or maybe they decided we needed twice as much motivation to tune in again after that Rock Week farce….
There wasn’t a single American Idol nominee at the American Music Awards Sunday night. But that didn’t mean they weren’t present for the annual event. The evening’s performers included Daughtry, which has a new album this week, and Kelly Clarkson, who just released her fifth. And the evening’s presenters included Adam Lambert, who turned in…
Adam Lambert has announced that his second studio album will be released in the spring of next year. The album will be called “Trespassing” and will feature a song by the same name that he wrote with Pharrell, Adam told fans via Twitter last night. Today he revealed the name of his first single from…
Not surprisingly, Stacy Francis spent most of her Friday conference call with the media talking about that bizarre eliminaton episode of The X Factor rather than her career moving forward. On one hand, she was hoping Astro’s attitude might buy her at least another week in the competition. On the other, she reminded people that…
