Adam Lambert Is Here For Your Entertainment

noreply@blogger.com (Kirsten) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:54:00 +0000

I feel like I have so much to cover with Adam. He's got a lot of stuff going on lately.

Let's start with the album cover...

My reaction: o_O

Seriously.

But, then I got over the cover, when his single, "For Your Entertainment" of his album of the same name debuted last Friday.

Fantastic, right?

Well, it gets even better, because clips from his album leaked this week, and for not being an early adopter Adam fan, I have to say that I am very excited for his album. It's 80's dance/pop with power ballads. I cannot wait!

You know that you're excited, too!

November 24, 2009, I think we're all in for one heck of a storm brought to us by none other than Adam Lambert!

noreply@blogger.com (Kirsten) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:47:00 +0000

Maroon 5 has just kicked off their Fall college tour, and no I am not bitter at all about them not playing any California tour dates at all. Not bitter at all.

Anyways, they debuted a new song called, "Last Chance" and it's awesome.

Take a listen!

And can I just say how much I am enjoying the understated tour. That's the Maroon 5 I know and love.

And for bonus, they also covered Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You".

You know you love it.

I do!

Dancing With The Stars Honor Michael Jackson

noreply@blogger.com (Kirsten) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:31:00 +0000

How fantastic was that?

I always enjoy when the professional dancers from DWTS perform together, they all have a really great energy to their dancing.

This makes me all nostalgic about my dance class days! Haha!

Throughout the seasons on DWTS, a lot of the dances have been done to Michael Jackson music.

My favorite?

Drew Lachey & Cheryl Burke's Paso Doble to "Thriller"!

Still one of my favorites!

Again, the tribute to Michael Jackson was amazing last night and it really makes you realize how his talent touched people and affected their lives.

Dancers come and go in a twinkle of an eye, but the dance lives on.

Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell Diagnosed With Swine Flu

noreply@blogger.com (Kirsten) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:46:00 +0000

Here is the official statement from BackstreetBoys.com:

BRIAN LITTRELL DIAGNOSED WITH SWINE FLU

Posted on 05. Oct, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized

The Backstreet Boys are sad to announce they have canceled today’s NYC PINKTOBER Hard Rock Café signing due to member, Brian Littrell having been diagnosed with the Swine Flu. The other 3 members, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean have seen a doctor and are not showing any symptoms. As a preventive measure, the doctor has prescribed Tamiflu to the group and their touring party, who had just returned to the states from Tokyo.

This unfortunate occurrence will also result in the cancelling of the group’s CBS Early Show performance tomorrow, Tuesday October 6th. BSB was scheduled to perform their new single “Straight Through My Heart.” The intimate performance at PC Richards (downtown) has also been cancelled and rescheduled for a later date.

“We were really looking forward to spending time with our closest fans and friends in NYC and take part of PINKTOBER, an unbelievable and important program” Littrell says. “I hope we can come back soon and do everything we can to help.”

The Backstreet Boys are in New York in support of their new album THIS IS US, out tomorrow, October 6th on Jive Records. The rest of the band’s promotional schedule for this week has not been determined. Details to come.

I would have been content with this press release, but then this video message from Brian was put up.

I sincerely hope this was something he wanted to do and was not the result of the record label telling him he needed to address the fans, cause seriously as a fan, it was very hard to watch.

Who wants to see their favorite Backstreet Boy feeling miserable? Not it.

Could have lived without this, but for those who want to hear what he has to say, check out the video.

And I am not faulting Brian for this video, I think it was above and beyond anything he needed to do as far as addressing his health.

And FYI, the Backstreet Boys' latest album, "This Is Us" hits the stores today, so don't forget to pick up a copy!

Support BSB!

Make sure to head over to iTunes and download this track as soon as it becomes available!

Kris Allen's New Single "Live Like We're Dying"

noreply@blogger.com (Kirsten) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:41:00 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen, we have the first single from the season 8 winner of American Idol!

Kris Allen's first single is called, "Live Like We're Dying".

The song made it's radio debut on New York's z100 earlier this morning.

TAKE A LISTEN!

What do y'all think?

I like it a lot!

It's really catchy and I hope it does well on radio.

I think it is a great bridge from what he did on Idol going into his debut album, because I don't think it will alienate his Idol fans. Always a good thing!

Congrats, Kris!

Summer 2009 Recap - June

noreply@blogger.com (Kirsten) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:50:00 +0000

Summer 2009 has officially come and gone.

I definitely have had a lot of fun with various partners in crime throughout the past few months.

So, I decided to recap summer with mainly videos from shows I attended this past summer.

Enjoy!

June contained the show I had been waiting for since Sarah and I randomly decided we were going to drive our butts to San Diego in order to finally see David Cook live, post-Idol.

It was more than worth it.

Kiss On The Neck

'Til I'm Blue (MWK cover)

Shattered Dreams (Johnny Hates Jazz cover)

June seriously was just the tip of the iceberg of what would be to come for the rest of the summer!

David Cook Performs "Permanent" in Lancaster, CA

Last night at David's Lancaster, CA show, he performed "Permanent" for the first time, since last performing it on Idol.

And yes, you can tell I was shocked. LOL.

It was pretty awesome. And completely unexpected.

Overall, it was a great show last night, and you know a recap is coming, so be on the lookout!

Sac show tonight! Wooo!!!
