Ferras is a new artist you might have heard on American Idol, though he was not a contestant. This song, Hollywood’s Not America, was used as exit music for the show; it’s a bit fitting I guess, and perhaps was written to sooth the feelings of the ones who don’t quite make it.
Great AC and I have a feeling it was originally written for country radio, just in the vibes and the way it sounds.

I had never heard of Leona Lewis before this song, but she was the winner of the third season of Britain’s American Idol equivalent, The X-Factor, featuring the great Sharon Osbourne as a judge. Leona’s song Bleeding Love is also the biggest selling single in the UK.
She also happens to hold the record of the fastest-selling downloadable song, for her remake of Kelly Clarkson’s ‘A Moment Like This’, selling out 50,000 copies of the song in just 30 minutes. I’m left a wretched heap that I completely missed this one for so long: and I thought I knew music…

Carrie Underwood again shows with her new song All American Girl why American fell in love with her in the 4th season of American Idol. Not only has she managed to bring country radio into the mainstream but she’s also done what few artists can do these days, and that is to simply put out music that is good for the genre she is in. She is very much like Kelly Clarkson all over again, which is exactly what the people want and American Idol continues to refuse to them. It must only happen once every 4th season, I guess, though I’m hopeful for a few I’ve seen coming up this season.
I really didn’t like this song the first time I heard it, but then I watched the video and changed my mind. One of the greatest talents that Carrie has is the ability to make people who hate country music like her: so if you’re one of those, now’s the time to give it a try.
Who do you think is better, Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood?

This track came out 89 seconds ago, and I had to review it simply because it’s Paula Abdul, pop diva who ruled the radio back when I was a little kid. It’s called Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow and besides the 90’s-ish poplollies-and-wishwash title (a tradition for Paula) the track is closer to Britney’s latest album with a cool club sound. Of course, only the best for Paula’s big comeback.
The full thing is even better. This is her first recording in 10 years. Luckily, I got it on advance from Randy Jackson’s upcoming collection titled Randy Jackson’s Music Club. On this song they could have skipped the bridge, but it’s easy to put up with. And she’s announced a new album coming soon.
As for Randy’s collection, it will be featuring people like Mariah Carey, Katherine McPhee, Elliot Yamin, Joss Stone, & more. He’s probably the only producer on the planet who can line that talent up on one CD.
If you like it, leave a comment for Paula’s comeback
