Susan Boyle Underwhelms

May 29th, 2009 | Category: Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle really wants to win ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ because she keeps practicing nonstop. The finale takes place this Saturday and the singer has been practicing all day and night while staying at the Wembley Plaza Hotel in London where guest have complained about her constant singing until 2AM. All that practicing may have caused her a cold which we can all blame for her lacklustre semi-final performance of ‘Memory’ from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Cats’ this past Sunday. After winning the public vote, Susan said “It was totally unexpected — but I’m feeling pretty good about the result. It was a pretty rocky start because to begin with I sort of had a croaky note. That’s because I had a cold. But I said to myself, ‘Pick yourself up, keep going.’”

Adam Lambert was Done a Favor

May 22nd, 2009 | Category: Adam Lambert, American Idol, Kris Allen

While most are calling Kris Allen’s win over Adam Lambert an American Idol upset and some are thinking that Kris was the right choice when it comes to the marketability, some are also saying that Adam was done a big favor by not being named the winner. Adam won’t be stuck singing the song ‘No Boundaries’ for the next six months to a year. Considering that it was co-written by Kara DioGuardi,. It’s pretty much a given that Adam is going to get a record deal. The challenge now is for him to make a great album that not only has his stamp but is also marketable.

Katy Perry Talks John Mayer

May 10th, 2009 | Category: John Mayer, Katy Perry

In a new interview with Popeater, Katy Perry talks about the odd facial expressions that John Mayer makes when he’s performing. The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer revealed “John Mayer said he’s trying to get rid of his “O” face. Oh, I think it’s sexy. Why would he try to get rid of something that’s just so cool?” If John’s so-called O face is what Katy thinks to be sexy, then I’m highly turned on by overweight plumbers who show their butt cracks as their fixing the leak under the kitchen sink. John’s facial expressions have been the center of some of my nightmares.

Danny Gokey’s glory note

May 07th, 2009 | Category: American Idol, Danny Gokey

The American Idol contestant managed to redeem himself over the relative failure of the duet he did with Kris Allen by performing Aerosmith’s “Dream On”. Apparently the key to the whole song was the final scream which Danny Gokey managed to nail very… luckily. In the rehearsals he does it cool and by the books, but during the performance, it apparently spirals out of proportion… which is good as far as the judges are concerned. Regardless of Simon Cowell’s comment on it and namely that it was like watching a horror movie, it seems Danny Gokey is safe for the time being. Now ain’t that just peachy: a horror scream finally saving somebody for a change.

Simon Cowell plans to take Susan Boyle on US talent show

May 02nd, 2009 | Category: Simon Cowell, Susan Boyle

Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell is planning to take Susan Boyle on the American version of the show, he has revealed.

But Cowell, 49, said the Scottish singer will have to win the show before he offers her the chance in the US.

He said: “I would say to anybody who won the British show that we guarantee them a spot on the American show. I think that’s a great incentive. So if it is Susan, yes.”

Cowell, who also admitted he isn’t a fan of Boyle’s new makeover, said the singer will still need to work hard at the semi-finals.

He told British newspaper The Sun: “Susan has four weeks to prepare for the biggest night of her life. She has got to sing better than she ever sang before.”
