The event raises money for the New York City food bank and also featured appearances by John Mayer, the Fray, Pitbull and Taylor Swift. Jordin was joined on stage by Justin Bieber for a performance…
Let’s do a little comparison. The most successful three Idol albums of 2009 have been from Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry and Carrie Underwood. Kelly’s “All I Ever Wanted” debuted at number one, stayed there for two weeks and spent three weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. Daughtry’s “Leave This Town” also debuted at…
Rolling Stone has announced its top music of the decade, and Kelly Clarkson is among the honorees. Fan balloting was announced earlier this week; Rolling Stone announced its top 100 songs and top 100 albums of the decade on Wednesday.

Looks like you can add Anoop Desai to the list of season eight Idol contestants planning to release music in 2010. Anoop has signed on with JS2 Communications, and the firm sent out a press release earlier this week indicating Anoop plans to release his first single in the spring. No word on a record…
Below, you’re treated to a video of a disguised Allison Iraheta buying her own debut album. Apparently, a few other people bought it as well. Allison’s “Just Like You” debuted at number 35 on the Billboard 200 charts released Thursday morning. That debut isn’t as good as those for Adam Lambert (number three) or Kris…
Kimberly Caldwell’s long-awaited debut album has a name, a release date, and at least one song you can hear. The title: “Without Regret.” The release date: April 2010. The cover: It’s at right. Kimberly revealed all this in a recent MySpace blog inviting fans to enter a contest to win tickets to a private show…

Voting for the People’s Choice Awards ends at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday (Dec. 8 ), so today marks your last chance to support the Idols up for honors. Several are, including Adam Lambert and Kris Allen in the category of Favorite Breakout Artist. Other nominees in that category include Lady Gaga, Susan Boyle and Demi Lovato….
One of my favorite Idol contestants from season eight has released a holiday album that’s available for download. Kristen McNamara, aka KMac, may not have made it past the Idol semifinals, but I still attribute that more to the show’s flawed format in season eight than to any shortage of vocal talent. The same fate…
Contestants keep telling me an appearance on Ameircan Idol opens doors to all sorts of opportuntiies. Well, here’s another example. Judges were just announced for the 2010 Miss America Pageant.
