Fans of Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert?  If so, you might want to check out their interview on the Walmart Soundcheck site starting November 1, 2009.

I’m not completely sure why none of them is performing but I am interested in seeing the full interview.  If you like this sort of thing, check out Carrie Underwood’s Walmart Soundcheck performances.  She’s great, of course!

Have you had a chance to listen to Blake Lewis’ new album, Heartbreak on Vinyl?  If you haven’t, you definitely need to check it out (it’s out today!  Buy it on Amazon or iTunes!). 
It’s a lot closer to what you would expect from Blake than the music he released on Audio Day Dream and I really can’t say enough about how happy I am for him.  I had the opportunity to chat with Blake this morning.  Here’s the quick interview!
Idol Stalker: What were your main inspirations for the songs on Heartbreak on Vinyl?
Blake Lewis: My ex-girlfriend, actually.  When I …read more

Kearney told MTV News that they joined together in August actually made some great music. He reveals, "We wrote a song and it’s awesome." On how the two started working together, "I think [Kris] was just a fan. What he told me was that he was just picking bands that he liked [to collaborate with].”
When the two finally got to recording the song, Mat says it was like magic. "He sang it in, …read more

American Idol season 8 finalist, Matt Giraud, was interviewed earlier this week about his experience since appearing on the show. 
He said that he’s been enjoying a little time off since the grueling 52-date Idols Live! tour ended.  He said it was great being able to actually meet the Idol fans since he was used to performing and going straight home when he was on the show.  I can imagine that it was fun to see how people were truly reacting to them in real life!
Matt talked about his upcoming show, Make the Cut, which is a Michigan-based online singing …read more

Incredibly, Paula Abdul has managed to remain fairly silent about everything that has been happening since she shockingly announced her departure from American Idol on Twitter.  In her first real interview since dropping that little bombshell, Paula spoke to TV Guide in an attempt to clear the air.

She claims that she didn’t leave because of her reportedly lower salary.  “I stand on principle where many people stand on money,” Paula said.
Would she ever come back to the show?  “That’s a hard question to answer right now. I mean, I don’t think I can answer that right now.”
Is she …read more

Nigel Lythgoe is no longer the executive producer for American Idol but he definitely had some things to say about Paula Abdul’s decision to leave the show.  While he said that it’s unfortunate (and he said that he doesn’t know if it’s an official thing) but he stressed that she’s only part of the show since it is the talent that makes Idol the popular show that it is.  He did go on to say that Paula was the heart of the show and she was always there to pick up the contestants and dust them off after a bad …read more

Kelly Clarkson was a guest on So You Think You Can Dance this week and Access Hollywood caught up with her to ask her how she felt about appearing on the show.
The original American Idol winner explained that she loves all kinds of dance styles and said that she grew up learning hip hop and said it might be cool to learn ballroom dancing.  I have always wanted to learn too!  She made it clear, though, that she would never agree to be on Dancing With the Stars (she actually said “hell no” and that she would look like “a …read more

David Cook appeared on The Fuse’s No. 1 Countdown where he talked about his eclectic taste in music.  I also love music from all genres so I think that’s pretty cool.  He also mentioned how weird it was to see his own face all over iTunes after he won American Idol – I can’t even imagine how crazy that must have been.  He credits his father for encouraging him to play the guitar and for shaping David’s musical style. 
He also talks about a lot of different topics including what it was like when he moved out on his own …read more

The original American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, was on MuchMusic’s Much On Demand (for those of you not in Canada, it’s similar to MTV’s now defunct Total Request Live) where she was asked about the whole Perez Hilton vs. Will.i.am controversy – Perez alleges that he was assaulted by the Black Eyed Peas’ front man and/or his manager and/or some security guards when he was in Toronto over the weekend to attend the MuchMusic Video Awards. From the footage that TMZ released, it seemed like Perez was the instigator but I digress…
Kelly, ever the outspoken woman that she is, …read more
