‘American Idol’ Needs to Bring Back Alex Lambert

It’s definitely not possible to bring a contestant back at this point.  That being said, the fact that Alex Lambert didn’t make the top 12 on American Idol, further proves my point that they should have had a wild card round this season.  Lambert might end up with a great career though.  His online following is growing.  Watch him perform below so that you can join me in my disappointment. 

Lady Gaga’s Sister is in her ‘Telephone’ Video

If you thought one of the girls in the ‘Telephone’ video was Gaga in disguise, you might have been looking at her sister, Natali Germanotta.  ‘Telephone’ was originally written for Britney Spears, but the plans fell through and Gaga recorded it herself.  The video has over 13 million hits on YouTube so far.  Fast forward to the 2:17 mark to see Gaga’s sister standing behind her.

Charlotte Church Announces Music Comeback

Charlotte Church has teamed with an investment company that will fund her new album.  She claims that this is better than a record deal, because she will have more creative control over the album.  You may remember Church as a young opera singer, who went on to sing pop music, and later hosted a talk show in England.  She has sold over 10 million albums throughout her career.  Listen to her sing below. 

‘American Idol’ Top 12 Announced, no Wild Cards This Year

I am not sure if anyone is as disappointed as I am that there are no wild cards this year.  The wild card choices by the judges happened to be one of my favorite parts of the season.  You may remember it from the first three seasons of the show.  They brought it back last, and have nixed it again.  Without the wild cards, none of the following contestants would have advanced to the top 12: Clay Aiken; Matt Giraud; Kimberly Caldwell; and Jennifer Hudson.  There were other wild card choices by the judges over the years, but I left them off the list because if I told you who they were, it might not serve my point that the wild card round is a good idea.  Actually, I think Jennifer Hudson might be the only person that proves my point.  Oh well.

‘American Idol’ Will Cover the Rolling Stones Next Week

‘American Idol’ needed to plan something big next week for the top 12, and I think they’ve done it.  The singers will perform songs by the Rolling Stones.  No word yet on whether any members of the band will show up, but my guess is that they won’t.  I can’t even believe that the Stones agreed to release their songs on Idol, though its probably great promotion. 

Bruce Willis Makes ‘Gorillaz’ Very Popular

The new ‘Gorillaz’ video for their song ‘Stylo’ has become very popular thanks to Bruce Willis.  It has become one of the most successful music videos on the web, already garnering over 1.8 million hits on YouTube.  The video beat both U2 and Weezer, the previous record holders.  Click on the link below to watch it.

American Idol Must Return to the Three Judge Format Immediately

I find myself cringing throughout the entire show.  With Paula’s unconditional positivity gone, the show has become a bloodbath.  If the singer is bad, is it really necessary to have four judges bash the singer one after the other?  It’s painful to watch, and it’s just plain mean.  Four?!  Watch the slaughter fest below.
