American Idol season 8 runner up, Adam Lambert, was on the red carpet earlier this week for the premiere of 2012.  His song “Time for Miracles” appears on the soundtrack (watch the video!) and I really couldn’t be happier for him.  I think the song is going to do pretty well and it’s definitely perfect for the movie.
I also spotted some great images over on MJ’s Big Blog from the event which I’m sure all of you Glambert fans will enjoy!

David Archuleta performed at Trump’s Taj Mahal resort in Atlantic City over the weekend and there’s a huge collection of great videos on YouTube but I had to pick his performance of “Your Eyes Don’t Lie” to share.  David gets better and better on stage every time I see him and it’s hard to believe he is that same timid kid who we saw on American Idol.

American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, performed on Good Morning America this morning and she looked and sounded amazing.  Did you see her?
Here are some great pictures from the appearance.  Have you had a chance to listen to her new album, Play On?  I think it’s awesome!

Watch her great performance of “Cowboy Casanova.”  She really is an incredible live performer.  Make sure you check out the other videos after the jump!

Last week, Adam Lambert revealed his new single “For Your Entertainment” from his upcoming album of the same title and I have listened to it several times over the weekend and I seriously cannot decide if I like it or not.  On the one hand, it’s got a decent beat but then the actual melody isn’t working for me. 
I love Adam and I think that “Time For Miracles” from the 2012 soundtrack is great but I’m just not sure about this single.
Tell me what you think!  If you haven’t heard it, listen to it here:

If you live in Canada, you’ve probably heard “Cha Ching” by Hedley which features former Canadian Idol contestant, Jacob Hoggard, as the lead singer.  I know the video came out last month but I really didn’t pay too much attention to it at first but it seems like it’s just blown up all-of-a-sudden.
I can’t lie – the song is completely addictive.  If you haven’t heard the song, check it out and if you aren’t familiar with Jacob consider yourself forewarned about his (loveable) oddities!
The single, which pokes fun at reality television shows, is from Hedley’s upcoming The Show Must Go …read more

American Idol season 7 runner-up, David Archuleta, sat down with ABC News Radio yesterday where he talked about his Christmas From the Heart album (it’s great, isn’t it?!?!?) and talked about his family and all of the traditions they observe during the holiday season.  He also mentioned that he’s been writing songs in Nashville and that the4 tracks are intended for his sophomore album which is due some time next year.
There are two videos from the ABC News Radio interview.  Watch the second half and David’s vlog after the jump!

The video for Adam Lambert’s song, “Time for Miracles” has been released.  The track will be included on his For Your Entertainment album that is coming out on November 23, 2009 but it will also be included on the 2012 soundtrack. 
In the video, Adam walks through a disaster-stricken city looking both grimy and optimistic among a sea of panicking people.  I’ve got to say that this is a perfect song for this type of movie and I think it could do very, very well.
Check it out and tell me what you think!

Do you remember Danny Noriega from the seventh season of American Idol?  I really liked him when he was on the show.  I really liked his larger-than-life personality, his confidence and his voice (for the most part) but I guess he just didn’t connect with the at-home audience enough to stick around longer.
A few months ago, his song “24/7” showed up on YouTube and I’m not going to lie – there are times when I still sing this song in my head.  I thought it was catchy but, obviously, it wasn’t necessarily radio-ready. 
Now he’s back with “Inside My Head” …read more

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!
In the meantime, check out this preview of Kris, Allison and Adam’s interview!

American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest, was spotted leaving a cooking class in Hollywood Hills.  He wasn’t the only celebrity learning to cook.  Katy Perry and rumored boyfriend, Russell Brand, were also seen leaving the event that was held at a private home.
I wonder who Ryan is hoping to impress.  I guess he could be learning to make some food for himself but part of me hopes this means he’s leaving his bachelor lifestyle behind and is getting ready to settle down.  He’s good friends with Simon Cowell, though, so if he uses him as an example, Ryan will be single …read more
