The Prophet of Pop

Last night the Academy of Country Music Awards happened and Taylor Swift took home the big prize for entertainer of the year.  For anyone who has a radio or a teenage daughter this should be no surprise as Taylor Swift has been dominating radio and television for nearly four years now.  This past year that…

Happy April everyone!  I hope that Spring has arrived at your house like it has here.  I just wanted to post a couple of fun videos to help you get your week started! Friday night Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, and Taylor Hicks gathered together to perform the Rebecca Black hit “Friday” on Jimmy…

Superstar Broncos QB and outspoken evangelical made a big announcement today – he is releasing a Christian pop album.  The pigskin slinger isn’t known for his musical ability, but with the recent success of Rebecca Black I guess he figures that anyone can do it.  Not a bad assumption there, I think. Few details are…

Tonight two contestants had to be sent home, and the unfortunate ones were Naima Adedapo  and Thia Megia.  Joining them in the bottom three was future Crest spokesman Paul McDonald.  Stefano Langone and Casey Abrams were both safe after last week’s scare, and apparently Casey’s numbers took a huge leap this week. While both ousted…

Reports have been surfacing that Katy Perry’s mother is writing a tell-all book about her hugely successful pop singer daughter.  The book was rumored to detail Katy’s life and how her racy lyrics and outfits have effected the ministry of her evangelist parents.  Unfortunately for scandal loving evangelicals and fortunately(?) for fans of Katy Perry,…

Last week the judges opted to save Casey Abrams from elimination and as a result the entire Top 11 is back!  Additionally, Fox will probably get a nice little ratings boost tomorrow night since not one but two people will head home.  But I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s find out who rocked/made a mockery…

In another victory for art in music, Arcade Fire took home the Juno award for Album of the Year Sunday night.  The Canadian band bested teen pop star Justin Bieber, whose album My World 2.0 was nominated in the same category.  Also falling to the indie-alt outfit was superstar Drake, who I didn’t even realize…

38 artists across many genres of music have teamed up to bring you Songs for Japan.  This 38 song compilation is available on Itunes for the ridiculously low price of $9.99!  Wow, do I sound like an informercial or what?  Well, that’s fine because it’s for a good cause since all the proceeds go to…

Tonight Casey Abrams came in last in votes on American Idol – but he didn’t go home.  The judges invoked their one save of the season with 11 contestants left, and they did it without even hearing 30 seconds of Abram’s swan song.  Sharing the bottom two with Casey was Stefano Langone, and when it…

It’s IDOL TIME!!!  You may notice that the site looks just a little different, that’s because we are now using a different blogging platform.  It also explains why I’ve been so quiet this week, but I’m back baby!! Tonight’s Idol theme is mo-town, let’s see what happened! Casey Abrams – Casey is a natural fit…
