American Who??

Are producers sure they want to call the show American Idol? I think it may be time for a title change.
After last nights top 12 ladies sang, I think many of us can come to an agreement that not one lady who performed has the chops to be an “Idol”. From the looks of things, the judges became lazy. After Paula’s departure from the show and Simon announcing it’s his last season, I guess they didn’t feel the need to choose real talent to make it to the top 24.
Despite the high number of painful performances, I will say that Crystal Bowersox and Haeley Vaughn, both of which strummed their guitars last night, performed very well. The two have a unique sound for the show. But like Simon said to Crystal, a million other girls are on the street singing the same way she does. However, for American Idol, their sounds work.
On another note, Ashley Rodriguez who sang Leona Lewis’ “Happy” gave me little hope for her singing career, but as far as style goes, she gets two thumbs up! She wore a glossy cream-colored crew neck motorcycle jacket with fitted skinny jeans, open toe pumps and a gaudy but extra fashionable ring on her index finger. She may not have the best voice, but she has the hottest style on the show.



Tonight the top 12 guys will give it a shot. Hopefully they will bring the heat or my television may say so long to Idol!

Okay, so Kanye loves to interrupt people...we all know this! You still cannot deny that his music is amazing. This week I have not been able to stop listening to his song "See You In My Nightmare", hence it being my pick for song of the week! Song clip (via youtube.com) is located below so if you haven't heard it, please give it a listen! Oh, I guess a little credit needs to go to Weezy (I have never understood why Lil' Wayne also goes by Weezy...I hate that all these people have like 87346720874 names) cuz he does little diddys throughout the whole song.

Did you know..

*Sometimes I find myself listening to both songs often because they are both great!*

Grammy award winner and Twitter dress wearer, Imogen Heap, is kind of the one behind new-comer Jason DeRulo's hit song "Whatchu Say". Just take a listen below. (Fast forward to 2:52 if you would like)




Now here is Jason's take on the verse.




We admire both talents! Both Imogen Heap and Jason DeRulo are creative artists who know how to belt out a fierce tune!

Daily dose of Gaga

So I was surfing GagaDaily.com, Lady Gaga's number one fan site, and I came across two amazing photos! These pics are from her concert in Manchester that kicked off the European leg of her Monster Ball tour.






First of all, Gaga got a donk! Watch out JLo. There's a new sheriff in town! Second, the Gaga a la bettlejuice photo showing her accompanied with a guitar just makes me love her even more! She is such a talented woman. Being able to sing live, dance and play multiple instruments is hard to come be these days, but Lady Gaga is a true talent and fashionista!!!

*Lady Gaga will be releaseing tour dates for the second leg of the Monster Ball tour on March 1st.

Kelly, is that you?

New York Fashion week is a time for not only fashion designers to showcase their work, but also for the paparazzi to have a ball over runway show attendees. One of this year's stars to attend was the daughter of the Prince of Darkness, Kelly Osbourne. Take a look at the photo below. I am absolutely LOVING her new look. Since her almost-win on "Dancing with the Stars" she has shed some pounds, cut her hair, and now has a beautiful glow about her. Not that she wasn't pretty before, but she is just looking extra fab now! Way to go, Kelly! Also pictured is singer/designer/mommy/wife, Gwen Stefani. This power girl is looking good as always as she debuted her second L.A.M.B collection. "Gwen really out did herself i cant say enough good things about L.A.M.B she is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen in my life," Kelly tweeted, according to InStyle.com.

he is NOT a sensation

Okay, I was just reading yahoo news, and it was an article about former American Idol runner up Adam Lambert. First of all, the article referred to him as being a "sensation", and then went on to talk about his diva-esq attitude he shows to audiences at his shows. Lets get something straight right now (no pun intended). Adam Lambert is NOT a sensation...he is a joke! Second of all, his diva attitude...he needs to probably get over himself right quick, because there is no reason for him to be a snob, or for him to think everyone wants him. Letting people grab his crotch during his shows, telling people about how everyone wants him, and stopping his show to yell at an audience member that was on her phone...no Adam, you are not a diva, so therefore you need to get over yourself and realize that your ten fans are going hate you soon if you don't drop the cocky "everyone wants me and you better show me you want me too" attitude now. Please, I ask you the reader of this, join me in an anti-Adam Lambert movement...for the sake of music...he needs to be stopped! (ps. here is a video of him stopping his show to yell at a fan.)

We love you, Betty!

Best known for her role as the ditsy but lovable air head in “Golden Girls”, Betty White is taking over the world!

We have seen her in other productions like “Lake Placid”, the terrible movie about the killer alligator and “The Proposal”, a recent comedy starring the beautiful Sandra Bullock. But it seems as if her popularity skyrocketed when her Snikers Super Bowl commercial aired.

Everyone loves them some Betty White, including us! She is talented, funny and still pretty hot to be 88. Betty’s fans are showing their love by joining a Facebook group petitioning to get SNL to bring her on as a host. Personally, I don’t watch the show much anymore, but if my hommie Betty White were to host, I would be all over it!

Unfortunately, the lovely Ms. White feels as though this sudden craze is all a phase. She told PEOPLE.com, "It will go away, I promise...”

Oh, Betty! Even if this all goes away, we are still gonna love you!
