    Of course you enjoyed it JLo, it nabbed you your first top 10 single in years, lol. Maybe that’s why Steven Tyler didn’t enjoy it. No top 10 for him. :’(

    I will never forgive you MJ. Everytime I hear the song “Call Me Maybe” I can’t get that guy in the bikini out of my head.

    Taylor sure gets around!  The Jersey Boys was such a fantastic Broadway production!  At the rate he;s going, he’s going to hit everyone of the shows!  Too late for DWTS.  Now, has he met with Donny and Marie?  :o)

    Carrie is such a wonderful representative for American Idol!

    As a matter of fact, Taylor met Donny Osmond a few weeks ago for the Special Olympics at Caesar’s Palace!  Yes, he does get a round…. a lot!

    The special project that Kelly mentioned a few weeks ago has just surfaced and it does have to do with Pepsi, the NFL and the Cowboys.  She along with Travie McCoy, Kid Rock, Wiz Khalifa and Ice Cube were asked to write songs for their hometown teams.  Kelly’s “Get Up” is available as a free download right now on http://www.pepsianthems.com/

    Here’s the USA Today article on it with quotes from her: http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/story/2012-08-14/exclusive-nfl-anthems-kelly-clarkson-wiz-khalifa/57039496/1

    I think JLo genuinely did enjoy her Idol stint but then I don’t really have a problem with the judges getting a career boost out of the show. Like Paula didn’t try? So are we supposed to hold her in higher esteem than JLo because she signed onto the show back when only hasbeens and nobodies would agree to do it and “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” flopped while “On the Floor” was a huge smash? Whatever.

    Phillip’s been dethroned from #1. Taylor Swift’s new song is already at the top of iTunes and it was just released tonight at 10:00 or so.

    Here’s video of Adam performing Trespassing on a Japanese TV show.

    He sounds great and looks amazing!  Really love the light hair.  If Trespassing is the single in Japan, it does not mean it will be the single here, but if it is I’m fine with that.  He has so much fun performing it.  I figured it would be between Trespassing and Cuckoo. Either one is great.

    His PR flack said one single WW, so I’m guessing that its Trespassing everywhere…who knows…

    Do you have a link to the interview from that Japanese morning show?  I heard its lulzy but I can’t find it

    Interview here:

    It’s just too cute.  I don’t envy him trying to respond to interview questions under those circumstances, with two or three people speaking in Japanese at the same time he’s trying to pick up on the questions being put to him in English, though!

    Adam sounds good, like the outfit, hair color not so much (the black is more flattering). I like the funk of this song but the lyrics are just too wordy. It’s an almost. The funk is good though. I just don’t see this taking off on radio. But I wish him well and hope that this or another song works out for radio.

    oh pity, was soo hoping for Cuckoo…

  • mmb

    lol that is lulzy….still hate the hair….

  • fuzzywuzzy
