Simon Cowell did a mighty fine job organizing and finding artists to sing on the cover of REM?s hit ?Everybody Hurts?. The cover features some of the biggest artists on the UK and US music scenes. The song will be available for download on Sunday, February 7, and released on CD the following day. The song features the voices of Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, Jon Bon Jovi, Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus, Susan Boyle, Mika, Michael Buble and more. According to HMV, the single will split proceeds 50/50 between Disasters Emergency Committee and The Sun?s Helping Haiti appeal. Go out and buy the single and help the earthquake victims!
With Simon Cowell planning to bring his British hit The X Factor to America, rumor is going around that he will be leaving American Idol as a result. His contract with the show expires in May and is currently in talks for The X Factor to begin in 2011. If that happens, Simon will almost certainly leave AI which could make this upcoming season the last one, because let?s be honest, it wouldn?t be the same without him. Fox hasn?t made any formal announcements about any programming changes yet so stay tuned! I wonder who is in the running to judge and mentor the US X Factor contestants alongside Simon.
If you?re like me and thinks that a crappy album would inevitably equal a crappy tour then you better brace yourself because Mariah Carey is going to be hitting the road. The Angeles Cry tour is expected to make its way around the US next year with the pop singer still shamelessly promoting her horrific album ?Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel?. Mariah even threw her husband Nick Cannon a bone as the curvaceous diva agreed t let RydazNrtist, who are signed to Nick?s NCredible Entertainment, open the shows. I don?t think this is going to be a disaster ? I know for a fact that it will.
