Jimmy Fallon impersonations can brighten up any day, and last night brought out a whole pop-heavy assortment of them. During his post-Super Bowl special, Jimmy auditioned for the halftime show while dressed up as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Eminem, Josh Groban, LMFAO's RedFoo and Shufflebot, of course, his own hybrid creation, Tebowie . Even better, his Super Bowl-skewed performances were judged by the coaches of The Voice (thanks to some well-edited stock footage). Watch below.

In just three days, Super Bowl XLVI will be under way in Indianapolis. There will be touchdowns, Madonna, M.I.A., LMFAO, maybe Cee Lo Green , bets won and bets lost. There will also be flags flown and an anthem sung, as is the custom for big American sports spectacles. This, to many, is the biggest of them all, and the very worthy Kelly Clarkson will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" , bringing her range and power to a song that many have attempted but few have mastered. There have been some incredible and some [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-18T16:06:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3997292/arcade-fire-y-vampire-weekend-entre-los-msicos-que-obama/

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music Getty Images (2) You have to be a certain kind of person to let Ke$ha tattoo you. Only someone slightly outrageous would offer up their flesh to Nashville's wildest pop star, someone like Andrew W.K. , a guy who isn't afraid of taking risks -- or, ending up with a life-long scar. "It got infected," W.K. tells Spinner. "It's an unfortunate aftermath and [...]]]> text/html 2011-09-05T02:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3697276/vocal-harmonies-the-prayer/
Josh Groban and Charlotte Church : The Prayer [ purchase ] Speaking of power ballads, here's one from 1801. No, sillies, this one wasn't recorded then. This one's a classical-pop cover of the more recent version by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. But I like these two singers more: I present classically trained pop crossover artists Josh Groban and Charlotte Church. I can't listen to this without tears from the sheer beauty of the vocals. Just sayin'. There's [...]]]> text/html 2011-08-19T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3661006/the-morning-mix-will-smith-recording-a-new-album/
Did You Hear? :: Will Smith is apparently tired of being the world's biggest movie star (or he's just jealous of his daughter Willow), and wants to release another rap album. He's reportedly "working" (however vague that means) with producer La Mars Mars Edwads, who's collaborated with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa. [ PopCrush ] :: The Justin Bieber Way street sign in Texas was stolen two days after it was erected. Was it a Belieber, or a Bieber hater ? Either way, a new sign is being put up, so [...]]]> text/html 2011-07-21T01:03:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3590421/review-josh-groban-w-elew-conesco-fieldhouse/
Review - Josh Groban w/ Elew @ Conesco Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, IN -06/12/11 This review of Josh Groban 's and Elew's performance at the Conesco Fieldhouse comes from one Mr. Benny Nova. I meet Benny Nova a few years back and have to say this dood def knows how to rock and never seems to let anything keep him down or from going to a show. Benny had expressed interest in YTC almost immediately, and even helped out with a few videos back in the day. Needless to say I was excited [...]]]> text/html 2011-07-11T11:18:57+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3573135/josh-groban-at-the-target-center-7811/

Josh Groban's "Straight To You" tour is the singer's first full-scale global arena tour since 2007 and will bring the feel of a theater experience to an arena setting.

Pint-sized opera singer Jackie Evancho returned to Oprah yesterday for the second (and last) time for the show's farewell episode. Along with Josh Groban and Patti Labelle, the America's Got Talent contestant serenaded Mama Oprah a surprise performance of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" so moving, it could easily be added as the 10th Most Memorable Music Moment in the daytime talk show's history .

In May 2009, three fresh-faced teenagers, Piero Barone (17), Ignazio Boschetto (16), and Gianluca Ginoble (16), appeared on the popular Italian talent show Ti Lascio Una Canzone and dazzled television viewers with their flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard O Sole Mio. The boys, who won the competition easily, decided their group needed a name. Il Volo, meaning flight, was chosen to signify the feeling that these three young tenors were about to spread their wings and fly.
