Wednesday night, top three American Idol contestants, Candice Glover , Kree Harrison and Angie Miller sang their hearts out in three grueling rounds and they didn't get to pick the songs a single time. The first was chosen for them by resident music mogul, Jimmy Iovine . The second was a choice made by the four Idol judges, Mariah Carey , Randy Jackson , Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban . The third and final selection was made by the producers of the show. [...]

Haley Reinhart recently unveiled the artwork and track listing for her upcoming debut album, Listen Up!, due May 22nd through 19 Entertainment/Interscope Records.  The album artwork highlights Reinhart's affinity towards all things retro, fabulous and glamorous as she plays the part of a sexy lifeguard.  Check out a 'Behind The Scenes' video of the album photo shoot BELOW where Haley talks

Haley Reinhart was EASILY my favorite contestant during season 10 of American Idol . There was just something about the quality and tone of her voice that was just so beyond her 20 years. Every performance sucked me in and left me in a heap on the bed. Unfortunately, after she appeared in the Bottom 3 four times during the run of the show, it became clear to me that Reinhart's days were numbered. When it came down to the final three, I knew it was going to [...]

A un anno esatto di distanza dall' annuncio dell'inizio delle registrazioni , arriva finalmente il nuovo album degli Aerosmith . Il successore di "Honkin' On Bobo" non ha ancora un titolo, ma - stando alle dichiarazioni di Steven Tyler - è praticamente ultimato. Manca il missaggio finale e qualche ritocco alla scrittura di un paio di pezzi . Il produttore è il leggendario Jack Douglas, l'uomo che ha realizzato con la band "Toys in the Attic" e che il batterista Joey Kramer descrive come "parte del DNA degli Aerosmith. Dal primo giorno di [...]

The judges were forced to dash somebody's hopes last night, and so we're down to the dirty dozen, but only after performances by Mary J. Blige and Season 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina, plus a group-sing of Stevie Wonder's "As". And has anyone ever stood out during those ensemble performances the way Jermaine Jones does? You can't NOT hear his crazy baritone, so dude better bring his A-game to all of those. But Wednesday night was not his A-game, and he found himself on the bottom along with Elise Testone , Shannon Magrane and  Jeremy Rosado . [...]

Lauren Alaina Before the bottom three guys and girls were revealed on the very first live results show of American Idol's 11th season, the contestants and audience got some entertainment. They were treated to performances from last year's runner-up and the queen of hip hop/soul. First up was season 10 runner-up, country cutie Lauren Alaina . The singer took the stage and got sassy to her latest single, "Georgia Peaches." The song is taken from her debut album, "Wildflower." American Idol Recap: Jessica Sanchez Wows With Whitney [...]

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 [...]

Lauren Alaina is kicking off 2012 with a video for her latest single, "Georgia Peaches." The clip - directed by David McClister (The Band Perry, Lady Antebellum) - stars some of Alaina's best friends, and was filmed at the Sylvan Park Melrose restaurant in Nashville. "Making the 'Georgia Peaches' video was a blast," she said, "I got to have some of my closest friends in the video, and we were laughing and having a good time throughout the night. I love that I was able to have them there." [...]

As American Idol begins ramping up to its season premiere, we get last year's runner-up Lauren Alaina releasing the video for her Wildflower single "Georgia Peaches" . The country gal debuted her innocuous clip, which features the Idol alum at the center of one knee-slappin' good time at a neighborhood diner, on CMT. If you thought her single "Like My Mother Does" was a bit too slow and schmaltzy, this toe-tapper kicks it up a notch. Check out the 17-year-old's feisty new video below. [...]

There were plenty of noble efforts to come out of the 2011 pop scene — Adele's crowd-pleasing, chart-dominating album ; Lady Gaga's various charitable commitments ; Justin Bieber's surprisingly impressive freestyle raps , just to name a few. But even though we like to highlight the good stuff, the fail-worthy moments from the past year are too unforgettable (and too funny) to ignore. We've picked the 13 Biggest Fails from the past year for your reading (dis)pleasure, and if you thought nothing could be worse than Chris Brown's chair-throwing temper tantrum at Good Morning America , [...]

Lauren Alaina is celebrating the end of her biggest year yet with a performance on the American Country New Year's Eve Live special in Las Vegas. The New Year's Eve bash airs live on Friday, December 31 from 11:00pm-12:30am EST (CT/MT/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

"Christmas for me is always about spending time with friends and family," says Alaina. "We eat, laugh, eat [...]

Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, Scotty McCreery - Wireimage Country music stars like Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, The Band Perry, Scotty McCreery , and Lauren Alaina , plus a few pop stars, like Jordin Sparks , gathered at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last night (December 5) for the 2011 American Country Awards.

Carrie Underwood didn't just clean up at the 2011 American Country Awards, she looked darn good doing it too. The triple winner stepped out in Las Vegas last night in a ravishing white strapless dress. New Artist Of The Year Scotty McCreery posed on the red carpet along side his lovely American Idol competitor Lauren Alaina. Also turning heads at the ACAs was another Idol alum, Jordin Sparks who looked fabulous in her form-fitting ensemble. As for country/pop star Taylor Swift, she was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps Billboard' [...]

In case you were too busy sleeping off the effects of tryptophan this weekend — or were out having a life that didn't involve the blogosphere — we must alert you to the important things you missed: namely, American Idol alumni Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina having a pretty difficult time getting through their respective Thanksgiving Day gigs. During his performance on a float, Scotty let his pre-recorded vocals for "The Trouble With Girls" begin up-lip-synced, while Lauren had one of the most embarrassing "oops" moments a singer can have — forgetting the words to the [...]

Lauren Alaina Boy, was it a tough day for American Idol season 10 contestants yesterday. Runner-up Lauren Alaina found herself in an embarrassing situation as she flubbed the lyrics to the national anthem at the Detroit Lions VS Green Bay Packers Thanksgiving football game. Alaina's performance started off well until she got to the "What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming" line. Instead, she sang, "What so proudly we hailed through the twilight's..." then paused to gather herself. But even with the bump in the road, [...]

It had to be hard being Carrie Underwood last night. The country-singing powerhouse pulled quadruple duty at the 2011 Country Music Association Awards, held in Nashville, Tennessee: co-host, nominee, performer, and absolutely radiant red carpet goddess. Video: Brad Paisley And Carrie Underwood Perform “Remind Me” At 2011 CMA Awards But Carrie wasn't the only one working it on the CMA Awards red carpet. On the way inside to celebrate one of country music's biggest nights, tons of stars posed for pics in their finest duds, including [...]

Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood - Wireimage Ahead of one of the biggest nights in country music, the 45th annual CMA awards, many of country's biggest names attended the 2011 BMI Country Awards held last night (November 8) in Nashville, Tennessee. The always-sparkling Taylor Swift donned another glittery dress to pick up her multiple songwriting awards for songs like "Back To December," "Fearless," and "Mine." Carrie Underwood wasn't nearly as shimmery, but looked equally as beautiful as she walked the red carpet in a one-shoulder, animal print number. She picked up [...]

Following the release of their respective LPs Clear As Day and Wildflower , American Idol Season 10 alums Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina are set to hit up the American Country Awards next week (November 9). This will mark the non-romantic ( we think ) pair's first public appearance at the same event since the Idols Live! Tour. There's no word on whether or not they'll be presenting together (possibly), performing together (doubt it) or simply sitting near each other. McCreery is up for New [...]
