Paula Abdul to judge dance show

Monday, May 24th, 2010

According to an Associated Press article today, CBS said that Paula Abdul will be a judge on “Got to Dance,” a competition expected to make it on the air sometime next season. She’ll also be an executive producer for the series, which is based on a successful competition that airs in Britain.
There’s no immediate word on when “Got to Dance,” which will feature various forms of dancing, will go on the air.

So with this announcement, does this mean that Paula is no longer in the running to be a judge for Simon Cowell’s “X Factor” in the fall?

Great ‘Idol’ moments on stage

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

We’re only a few weeks away from the finale of “American Idol” and I’m trying to recall some of the great performances on the “Idol” stage by the contestants.

There are so many for me: Bo Bice’s acapella performance of “In A Dream” and “Vehicle”; Carrie Underwood singing Heart’s “Alone”; and more recently David Cook’s “Billie Jean” and Blake Lewis’ “You Give Love A Bad Name.”

So let me ask you this: What “Idol” performances do you remember the most?

(Be sure to watch the end of this video … Ryan Seacrest is hosting in a T-shirt!)

Jason Castro

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Season 7’s Mr. Dreadlocks has a new CD coming on April 13 and his latest single – “All Wrapped Up” — got a first listen on People.com’s website. This is his second single since “Idol.” The first – “Let’s Fall In Love Again” – was my favorite, but this new tune is still pretty good. It definitely has a Beatles sound to it. Click here to listen to “All Wrapped Up.”
Let me know what you think of it? Is this a top 10 hit?
