Hello,
Above is the amazingly gorgeous Teri Hatcher. (Thanks to babble.com for the picture.) Wow! If you remember she and "American Idol" have a connection. Hatcher sang Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" on "Idol Gives Back" last season. A lot of people didn't think she did a very good job singing the song, however I thought she did a pretty good job. I even bought her version from iTunes and have enjoyed it many times. Although Underwood's version is definitely the superior version. Underwood sings that song with a lot of power and feeling.
AMC has officially announced a third season of "Mad Men", it's coming this summer. Also Clint Eastwood's new movie "Gran Torino" opens today. It has been receiving generally positive reviews. I plan on seeing it when I can. Video of the day: u2's historic "Sunday Bloody Sunday" live at Red Rocks. That performance really propelled them to stardom. They are still one of the few bands that survive from the 80's. Also one of the even fewer bands that survive from the 80's that are still relevant. Remember their new CD "No Line On The Horizon" is out this spring.
Also coming out soon is Melinda Doolittle's new CD. The name of her first CD is "Coming Back To You" and it will be released on February 5th. This CD has 13 songs on it. Go to her official website, melindadoolittle.com, and get the MP3 title track from the upcoming CD free. themusicaddict has been a fan of Melinda Doolittle since her audition performance on "American Idol" Season 6. In much more unfortunate news, Sanjaya is also releasing a 5 song ep pretty soon. Sorry I just did not have the heart to look more into that. I think along with William Hung and David Archuleta that Sanjaya is one of the most annoying "AI" contestants ever. All three of you please go away!
AOL.com has a feature detailing the Top 16 "American Idol" performances of all time. I checked out this feature yesterday and I agreed with some of their choices. However some of their choices really sucked. Those include David Archuleta's "Imagine", David Cook's "Billie Jean" and Ruben Studdard's "Superstar". Studdard sang that last song with all the emotion of a pretzel.
However they were right on some of their choices. For instance, Jason Castro's "Hallelujah", Chris Daughtry's "Hemmorrhage", the amazing Jennifer Hudson's "Circle of Life". The two of the 16 songs I liked the most were Lakisha Jones' "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" and Tamyra Gray's "A House Is Not A Home". This last one you must watch, it is an amazing, amazing performance. Her voice sounds great. Her first CD is pretty good and I am not sure why she has not become a star. She has not even been on the pop culture radar for a few years now.
Remember to set your DVR for Tuesday, January 13th for the opening night of Season 8 of "American Idol". It will be two hour episodes on both January 13th and January 14th. I hope new judge Kara DioGuardia brings some spice to the show. Apparantally the men this year will be the show's highlights. Also check out votefortheworst.com to keep things from being too serious.
Have a great weekend, themusicaddict
