American Idol Updates
John and Edward To Perform the "Ghostbusters" Theme on This Week's X Factor
Late Halloween Scare: Listen to Snippets of Adam Lambert's Upcoming Album
If Halloween didn't frighten you enough, Amazon has Adam Lambert's album preview up so you can experience a new form of horror. The lowlights are the hilariously bad "Music Again", campy "Strut", terribly cheesy Broadway sounding "Soaked", and his ridiculous sounding vocals on "Fever". Adam's voice sounds absolutely horrendous on the ballads, which are by far the weakest tracks in the previews. We can say though that the album clearly has higher production values than the standard Idol rush job. And tracks like "Sleepwalker" and "Whataya Want From Me" would blend in easily to top 40 radio (if you can consider that a compliment). But will anyone be able to look past the stupid album cover to even listen to the music? Adam better count his lucky stars that people can now download the album anonymously or he'd have negative sales the first week.
Kelly Clarkson Mocks Her Song "Already Gone" in Concert Last Night
Awesome. After the whole Already Gone/Halo situation, Kelly Clarkson decided to add a few bars of the Beyonce song to her performance last night to mock her own song. Pretty funny.
Adam Lambert and Drake LaBry Split Up
Apparently, Adam Lambert has broken up with his boyfriend, Drake LaBry. Even though Drake didn't seem like much of a catch, bad move on Adam's part. He's probably believing the hype about himself and sees himself as a "sex symbol" who can have his pick of men. So we feel we need to step in and do what we do best here. No one with any taste would fantasize about a crater-faced, Liza Minnelli looking, double-chinned Twilight impersonator with a terrible haircut. It's our job to put Adam back in his place so he retains a realistic outlook on life. See, and people say we don't do anything positive. (News via MJ's Big Blog)
Michael Sarver Actually Gets a Record Deal. I Know, Right?
Seriously? Michael Sarver has signed with Dream Records, a small record company affiliated with The Dream Center, which does non-profit work around the country. It seems odd that a non-profit organization would have a record label, but we didn't see Michael Sarver making a profit from singing anyway, so this seems about right. The label is apparently a Christian label, and Michael plans on releasing a country album. At least he finally listened to us and dropped the pretense that he's an R&B singer. But hey, the guy got himself a record deal, which was more than we expected, so good luck to him and we'll see how it goes.
Happy Halloween to all of the Worsters out there. If you're looking for a last minute, scary costume that is guaranteed to give people nightmares, we have a suggestion for you. Be careful though, little kids may run away in terror.
Ryan Seacrest's Stalker Arrested
Ryan seacrest's alleged stalker, Chidi Uzomah, was arrested yesterday inside the E! building. Uzomah had a knife and requested to talk with Ryan. Uzomah has in the past assaulted Ryan's security guard and shown up at the radio station where Ryan works. He's now being held in prison on a charge of felony stalking. Ryan has been granted a temporary restraining order. So we guess it's not just the Idols who have creepy stalkers. Remember kids, no matter how much you don't like someone, don't stalk them. Get a life.
Adam Lambert - "For Your Entertainment" Premieres
Well here's Adam Lambert's "official" single. Top 40 radio might possibly embrace this because it's so cookie cutter. His voice is so processed, anyone could be singing this. The song sounds like something Britney Spears was offered, but she passed on it because it was too cheesy. Except for the awful screaming in the bridge... that's just pure Adam. Guess we'll see what happens next.
This is awesome news! Digital Spy is reporting that our favorite terrorizing twins, John and Edward, are performing the "Ghostbusters" theme as their song selection on the upcoming episode of the X Factor. And yes, they'll be wearing the Ghostbuster outfits. We hope this is true. John and Edward are now in their 5th week of competition. One more week, and they'll be tied with Sanjaya's VFTW record of longevity.
