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…

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.
