The singer was also among the acts that performed at the Award Ceremony. Lady GaGa chose to sing “Born this Way”. Her performance was reasonably interesting and she even brought a sort of egg-capsule on stage, not to mention the rather large outfit she chose for the performance and the wig that went with it. She did change the suit for something a little more comfortable a bit into her show. She didn’t have any problems with performing the song which is not surprising since she does seem to take her music seriously… even if she does exaggerate with it from time to time.

Round three of American Idol performance night saw the top 2 singers take on the songs that they’ll record if they win. Scotty McCreery got “I Love You This Big”. This was actually a good song, especially for the finale. I guess it pays to have Jimmy Iovine involved. It has a good hook and I think it would do well on the radio. Scotty owned it too. Lauren Alaina got “Like My Mother Does”. This was actually better than what Scotty got. After her performance, I think it was pretty much nailed down that she’s going to win. While she sang it very well, I think it will have little to do with that. Round three for me, as well as for the judges, goes to Lauren.

We finally found out which two singers will be battling it out on American Idol season 10’s finale next week. After all the commercials, video packages and guest performances, Ryan Seacrest was handed the envelope, the lights were dimmed and someone was sent home. I was hoping for the top 2 to be Scotty McCreery and Haley Reinhart but after the performance night seeing Haley deal with some of the toughest songs and the judges siding more with Lauren Alaina, I was really nervous about the elimination. And apparently, I had reason to be when Ryan revealed that it was Haley that was going home. They may be touted as the most talented bunch but this season had robbed so many great singers that I’m saying this sucks the most.

America was shocked last night when American Idol favorite James Durbin didn’t get a coveted spot in the top 3. Most fans expected Haley Reinhart to be going home, especially with the amount of negative comments that she’s been getting from the judges. I actually thought this season was James’ for the taking. He may not have the best vocals each and every week but he’s the only guy who really went out there to perform and gave the crowd an amazing show. I always felt like he was doing his solo concert every week. Needless to say, I think James will be fine once he hits the real world of music. However, that doesn’t prevent me from saying that he got robbed.

Last night’s Rock n Roll Hall of Fame episode of American Idol was a rare one, at least for this season, because no one was terrible. I guess the singers finally figured that it’s crunch time. I’ll just make one review of performances and it’s for Pia Toscano. She’s been choosing ballads for the longest time ever and she promised last week that she’d do an up tempo song this week. And finally we got it in the form of “River Deep, Mountain High”. Her vocals were amazing but she’s lacking in stage presence. Pia’s a great singer but not a performer. Now for my thoughts on who’s safe and who’s going home. I think Scotty McCreery, James Durbin and Casey Abrams are 100% safe, with Pia, Lauren Alaina and Jacob Lusk likely to be safe as well. I think the bottom 3 would be Haley Reinhart, Stefano Langone and Paul McDonald, with Stefano going home. What do you think?

A 12-year-old US child prodigy has become a YouTube sensation with his rendition of the Lady Gaga hit Paparazzi.
Greyson Michael Chance was filmed performing the song on the piano at Edmond middle school’s ?Chorus Performance Night’.
And the video has so far clocked up over one and a half million hits after being posted on his own YouTube page last week.
Chance, who bears a slight resemblance to other YouTube favourite Justin Bieber, can be seen in the clip whipping the audience of teen girls into a frenzy with his spot-on vocals and adept key strokes.
As well as posting his version of Paparazzi, Chance has also included videos of him performing two songs he has written – ?Stars’ and ?Broken Hearts’.
It?s pretty amazing to believe that he actually has something like that, but apparently it?s true. It looks like Simon Cowell is quite partial to screams? he must be a closet metal fan. Siobhan Magnus decided to go with ?Any Man of Mine? on Shania Twain week and she ended it with a really powerful scream of which the fabled Earl of Exigency had this to say: “The screaming at the end may have gone a little bit … it was almost like you were giving birth up there.” He just doesn?t know how to say he dug Siobhan Magnus? performance. It looks like we may have a winner on our hands? at least for this week.
Alice in Chains are currently being featured on Yahoo Music’s Maximum Performance! The band stopped by the Yahoo studios to perform an acoustic set featuring songs off the new record Black Gives Way To Blue. The band rocked through amazing acoustic renditions of their new hit single “Check My Brain”, “Black Gives Way To Blue”, and “Your Decision”. The band also sat down with Yahoo for an exclusive video interview, where the band talks about life after Layne, and their amazing re-birth with new singer William DuVall.
Watch KSM’s newest webisode to get a behind-the-scenes look at their last show on Demi Lovato’s tour. After giving Kate, Shelby, Shae, Katie and Sophia some words of wisdom backstage, Demi surprises the girls during their farewell performance dressed in a KSM T-shirt and sunglasses along with other friends on tour for a dance party. The band talks about how much they’ll miss the road and the great friends they’ve made along the way.
Be sure to tune in to Good Morning America this Thursday October 8th between 8:30-9:00 AM to watch KSM rock a performance of “Read Between The Lines.”
Alice in Chains have just unveiled a “Making Of” video for the trippy “Check My Brain” video. Go behind the scenes with Jerry Cantrell and co. as they try and visually recreate the “Seasick” feeling of the “Check My Brain” riff with director Alex Courtes (U2 and White Stripes). The band has also released a live video of “Check My Brain” from their performance on the Jimmy Kimmel show on September 29th. The performance celebrated the release of the bands first new album in 14 years, Black Gives Way To Blue. The album is available everywhere now.
To celebrate the release of their eighth studio album, Crash Love, AFI took to the stage at the world famous Roxy on Sunset thanks to local Los Angeles radio station KROQ. In front of an intimate crowd of hundred’s, rather than thousands that typically fill AFI shows, the band played a thrashing 14 song set filled with classics of the past, and a handful of Crash Love gems that are soon to be just that. Highlights of the night were too many to capsulize, but front man Davey Havok’s front flip into the waiting crowd on “Kill Caustic” and the stunning rendition of The Cure’s classic “Just Like Heaven” marked just a few of the moments that lit up the night. Reminiscent of 1995, AFI welcomed Nick 13 (Tiger Army) and Geoff Kresge (ex AFI/Tiger Army) to the stage to sing “Nyquil,” a track from the band’s first album, Answer That and Stay Fashionable. Electric performances of AFI’s radio singles “Miss Murder” and Crash Love’s “Medicate” put a cap on a night that will not soon be forgotten by the fan’s lucky enough to be present that night.
Fans of AFI who could not be at the show now have the chance to watch a handful of videos from the epic evening on KROQ.com. To find out when and where you can see AFI live, visit www.AFireInside.net/events. Crash Love is in-stores now and available everywhere good music is sold.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has said that singer Lady Gaga’s VMA Performance will be “Next-Level”.
This year’s MTV video music awards is set to be jam packed and Perez has said GaGa’s performance will be especially good.
Gossiper Perez can’t wait to see what GaGa, 23, real name Stefani Germanotta, has up her sleeve for this year’s Video Music Awards on September 13.
Hilton promises that the star, known for her wacky dress sense, will deliver.
The 31-year-old told MTV: “I was with Gaga in Japan recently, and we absolutely talked about the VMAs.
“I’m going to be Gaga’s date. Well, I’m not going to be on the carpet with Gaga, because Gaga might be having some special guests with her ? that’s all I can say. I can’t reveal too much. Special guests!”
Hilton described the performance as “next-level.”
He added: “I think, without a doubt, Gaga’s gonna be that big star of the night, just because her performance really is next-level.
“That’s the thing about her: She’s always trying to top herself, and I think she’s going to.”
The singer and actress surprised people in Georgia when she took a break from filming ?The Last Song? and sat in with a band performing at a beachside seafood restaurant and played two songs. The restaurant?s owner related the reactions of those present there: “By the time she finished the first song, there must have been 50 little girls and their moms who came rushing up.” Apparently, they also had a bit of a hard time getting Miley Cyrus out of the restaurant afterwards, the owner relates: “We asked her, `What do you wanna do?’ and she said `I want to get out of here.’ So we walked her to a side entrance nobody knew about and got her in her car.” Oh, Miley Cyrus? promoters will probably be furious about this one. Singing unscheduled songs for free just for the fun of it? How utterly unartistic and unprofessional!
Meet Charice – a seventeen year old Filipino superstar whose powerful voice shines wise beyond her years. Charice was originally discovered by Oprah’s producers via a YouTube video which was filmed when she was just fifteen years old. The internet sensation has impressed both fans and industry professionals after racking up over thirteen million hits online.
Charice recently premiered her new single, “Note To God,” on “Oprah’s Search for the World’s Smartest and Most Talented Kids.” The haunting and emotionally charged track was produced by the legendary David Foster and written by Grammy winner Diane Warren.
Charice is currently in the recording studio working on her new 143/Reprise Records debut, scheduled for a late fall release. Get to know the up-and-coming singer – and be blown away by her voice – by watching her live performance of “Note To God” on Oprah.
Lady Gaga paid a visit to ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ and performed a stirring rendition of her international smash, “Poker Face”. Watch her tear it up on the keys AND the dance-floor!
“Poker Face” on Ellen:
Brand new remixes of Lady Gaga’s latest single “LoveGame” by Dave Aude, Space Cowboy & Robots To Mars are available today! Download them from iTunes now!
The American Idol contestant blew away with his performance yet again. For last evening he went with ?Cryin?? by Aerosmith and his vocal coverage was supposedly excellent? but the band didn?t quite perform up to the singer. Still, the reactions were no less than what was expected. Randy Jackson himself said this about Adam Lambert?s performance: “You should be a rock star! That’s who you are, baby!” It looks like Simon Cowell?s statement is slowly becoming a reality? Adam Lambert has apparently dodged the oncoming bullet once more? gee, what a surprise! Still, there is also tonight to be considered? who knows, the show may yet hold more surprises.
