Gavin DeGraw When former contestant Gavin Degraw returned to Dancing With The Stars earlier this month to perform his new single , "Sweeter," host Tom Bergeron vowed to get the singer/songwriter back out on the dancefloor one last time to show off his moves. Tom got his way last night (May 22). Gavin returned yet again to the ballroom during the DWTS finale to show the world exactly why he was cut in week five of the competition. Gavin's Latin-inspired footwork was as pitiful as ever, but partner [...]

Katy Perry - Getty Many of the biggest stars in pop music gathered at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last night (May 20) for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. Before making it inside the venue for the big show, which included performances by LMFAO, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry , and Chris Brown , the stars graced the red, erm, white carpet. Katy, who was honored with a special award for her record-setting and -tying five No. 1 singles from her album, Teenage Dream , matched her purple locks with a [...]
Here’s to house music. A genre that thrives with millions of producers exuding a wide array of styles and sounds. Some fall short of the standard and others propel themselves far ahead of the pack, we’re focused on the latter. Every week, sometimes twice, this segment will bring you three brand new, exasperatingly good house tracks to stock up your music library. All we ask is that if you find yourself infatuated with a track, support the artist in their future releases and buy a little something. [...]
So apparently not everyone from Iceland comes to awards shows dressed in a dead swan costume. Case in point, up and coming Icelandic singer/songwriter Jón Jónsson. In listening to his new single, "When You're Around," Gavin DeGraw immediately comes to mind. Jónsson's got a smoothness to his voice that makes you hang on every word. "When You're Around" is definitely a singer/songwriter's
When I first heard that Colbie Caillat was pairing up with rapper/actor Common for her new single, "Favorite Song," I was a little skeptical. Sure, rappers have paired up with singer/songwriters in the past (Common paired up with Lily Allen on what would become one of my favorite songs!) but something in me just couldn't see Colbie's light & fluffy pop/rock style meshing with Common's

Gavin DeGraw Gavin DeGraw didn't quite cut it as a dancer when he competed on this season of Dancing With The Stars . But, thankfully, he returned to the show's results show tonight (May 1) not to display more not-so fancy footwork, but to do what he does best: sing. And boy did he sing, and sing well! Gavin oozed sexiness as he crooned his latest single, "Sweeter," the funky and soulful title-track to his current album. Gavin left the dancing to his former dance partner, Karina [...]

Karina Smirnoff and Gavin DeGraw If 'Dancing With The Stars' was about having the best personality, Gavin DeGraw would have taken home the trophy. But it's a dancing competition and it turns out, Gav just didn't have the moves. The singer/songwriter was given the boot on last night's (April 17) live results show after a dance duel against actor Jaleel White . Gavin and his partner Karina Smirnoff dropped by late night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, to talk about his time on the show. "As far as all the [...]

Karina Smirnoff and Gavin DeGraw After a few weeks in the bottom two and receiving just OK scores from the judges, Gavin DeGraw 's time on 'Dancing With The Stars' came to an end. The singer/singwriter became the latest star eliminated on the hit reality competition. Gavin and his pro dancer partner, Karina Smirnoff , were given the bad news after they were subjected to DWTS' new showdown, the dance duel. They had to face-off with former Family Matters star Jaleel White and his partner Kym Johnson in [...]

Karina Smirnoff and Gavin DeGraw Gavin DeGraw worked his way out of the bottom two with last week's performances of the tango on Dancing With The Stars. This week, he's hoping his samba will keep him out as well. Gavin and his pro dance partner, Karin Smirnoff , hit the dance floor with an adorable, almost child-like samba that featured row boats and hammocks. "I love the way you just go for it. You don't care," judge Carrie Ann Inaba said of the performance. She did note that the [...]

Karina Smirnoff and Gavin DeGraw Gavin DeGraw spent another week in the bottom two last week when the "Dancing With The Stars" results were announced but he survived yet again. Now, he's seriously trying to dig his way out of the bottom and towards the top. Here's hoping his performance of the tango will do it. Gavin, along with his pro dancer partner Karina Smirnoff , hit the ballroom floor with all black on ready to whip it to the Rolling Stones song "Paint It Black." He looked [...]

Photo credit: Debra Rothenberg/PictureGroup " Sweeter " serves as the title track and second single from American singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw 's fourth studio album. Written and produced by DeGraw and Ryan Tedder , "Sweeter" is a worthy follow up to " Not Over You ," which was released all the way back in May of 2011. Why the wait Gavin? " Not Over You " peaked at a reasonably [...]

Karina Smirnoff and Gavin DeGraw After landing in the bottom two last week during the first 'Dancing With The Stars' results show, Gavin DeGraw really needed to step things up so that he has a chance to stick around for a little longer. To do this, the singer/songwriter put his all into his performance of the rumba with his partner, pro dancer Karina Smirnoff . Gavin decided to set his dance to Billy Joel 's "New York State Of Mind." He chose the song because he remembers going to a [...]

Gavin DeGraw So the foxtrot and jive aren't really Gavin DeGraw 's thing. Hence why he landed near the bottom of the leaderboard on Dancing With The Stars with his first two dances. But luckily, he's at the top of his game with his chosen profession: singing. Video: Gavin DeGraw Performs The Jive On ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Gavin got the chance to show the world what he does best when he stopped by the Tonight Show with Jay Leno [...]

Gavin DeGraw and Karina Smirnoff - ABC/Adam Taylor It was a close call for singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw but the star survived to dance another week on Dancing With The Stars. During season 142s first live results show, Gavin and his partner, pro dancer Karina Smirnoff , landed in the bottom two against tennis star Martina Navratilova and her pro teammate Tony Dovolani . Both pairs scored 20 points during the first week of performances. While Gavin's score improved during the second week of dances-he received 21 points for his [...]

Karina Smirnoff and Gavin DeGraw Last week, Gavin DeGraw made his debut on season 14 of Dancing With The Stars, showing off his moves with a foxy foxtrot. The judges apparently thought the singer/songwriter's footwork could have been a little better and gave him a total of 20 points, causing him to be in a three-way tie for the bottom. Hoping to get higher scores this week and get out of last place, Gavin hit rehearsals for his next dance: The jive. Although it looks like fun, Gavin wasn't loving the dance. [...]
Hey folks, have you been wondering what Gavin DeGraw has been up to lately? Well, if you have, then this probably is the announcement you've been waiting for. The Dancing With The Stars star, along with Colbie Caillat and Andy Grammer (three artists who are making their respective first appearance on this blog) will be playing the Rumsey Playfield at Central Park Summerstage on June 2, 2012 . I don't believe that the show is free, but I don't have any ticket information for you yet. If [...]
That might just be Brooklyn in Gavin DeGraw 's new video for "Sweeter." In fact, we're pretty sure that's Williamsburg just by the JMZ train. DeGraw may not be what people think of when they imagine a Brooklyn hipster, but he seems to be embracing it.
