Flo Rida Collabo Was ‘Kind Of Easy,’ Olly Murs Says – Olly Murs has been circling the U.S. market all year long. While he’s managed to top the charts back in his native U.K., now seems as good a time as any for the British pop singer to try to win the hearts of Stateside music lovers. And he’s had a pretty good setup. Having already toured with fellow former “X Factor” contestants, One Direction, over the summer, and with his current single, “Heart Skips A Beat,” taking over radio, his U.S. debut album, the aptly titled Right Place, Right Time, drops in December. And Murs has his fingers crossed it will help him make a successful swim across the pond. – Read more at MTV

    Congrats to Constantine. It seems not many on here are fans of him, but he has really carved out a great Broadway career for himself.

    Kris obviously made a very good impression on Jose Felciano this weekend :D

    @wheresjose

    #@xxxx  Aw, man, I agree! Kris is a fantastic artist: great musician, singer and most of all, human being! We had a great time.

    (in response to fan tweet praising the ANS performance & suggesting he perform with Kris again)

  • girlygirltoo

    all old performances, then, but still nice that they get shown on tv again

    Tom Selleck was introduced to the music of “Home” on The Kelly & Michael Show this morning – quite an extended clip, too.

  • tucker davis

    When PP is singing ‘Home’ at the Now and Zen festival this weekend, the audience was singing along so loudly that you could hardly hear him! You know you’ve got a hit when the audience sings every word with you!!

    He also covered Barkley’s ‘Crazy’ (one of my favorite songs) at the Bite of Vegas festival and did a very good job! I’ve never heard him do that song before. Sorry, I don’t know how to bring the videos to this site.

    From the “awww very sweet dept” — that girl who was bullied and the victim of a prom prank (and the town rallied behind her), was interviewed by Seacrest this morning.  He asked her who her favorite artists were/what artists she was inspired by and she said Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga.  Then he put Adam on the phone with her and they talked.  Here is link to the interview (it happened in the middle of a Carly Rae Jepsen interview…go to around 13 minutes for the Adam/Whitney part)…they played a little bit of Trespassing and plugged PLL a bit too.  No clue if it made the syndicated broadcast or not

    That was a pretty incredible interview on Seacrest. What a brave girl. Very cool they had Adam on the line. Ryan often bugs me, but this was a very sweet thing he did.

    TMZ is saying this is official: Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez are the new hosts.

    Kinda of an awkward moment there when they brought on Kidd Rock. Loved how he said he couldn’t compete with Adam Lambert. 

    Love that Adam and his music really does help others to see their true worth as human beings.

  • Nadine_Bitch

    LOL so awkward but Kidd Rock was cool. He said he can’t compete with Adam and the co-host said ”yeah, nobody can”. And Whitney sounded so sad but I smile how you can hear the joy in her voice when Adam talked to her.

    Trespassing sounds so good, I have to repeat the snippet for few times because it was just that damn good.

    this has nothing to do with idol (wait, was olivia ever a mentor? travolta danced with uma thurman, who was on smash, which stars Kat McPhee and now Jennifer Hudson..so that is less than 6 degrees of separation)…but lololololol

    The ‘fan’ suggested that they duet again with Kris playing piano.
