31 March, 2012 8:37 AM
Once again, through an unfortunate series of events, I was unable to publish my Top 9 power ranking on time but since I had the draft ready, we shall publish it anyway. There was a decent amount of moving and shaking in this week's ranking. Did your favorite's rank go up? Keep reading! Now onto the Top 9 rankings...
American Idol 2012: Top 10 Perform: Billy Joel
30 March, 2012 11:52 PM
After last week's elimination of Florida teen Shannon Magrane, our Top 10 move forward to tackle the songbook of Billy Joel and mentoring from Diddy and fashion advice from Tommy Hilfiger. Being a fan of Joel's, I was really happy to hear of this week's theme. It'll be interesting to see how the contestants can make these songs their own, especially the younger ones. Anyway, let's move on to the performances and results. This... Is American Idol!

The Voice Sverige: Season 1: Top 12 Perform!
8:14 PM
We lost 8 contestants in the last two weeks, Freja Blomberg, Christian Hedgren, Adrian Modiggård, Saga Björling, Daniella Hernandez, Mikaela Samuelsson, Edvard Bisof and Marcus Sennewald. Most of them had a lot of potential, even more than some of the contestants that stayed but unfortunately, Swedish public doesn't always vote only on talent. One more act from each team will be saying goodbye tonight. Who'll have what it takes to advance? ... This is The Voice!

Rochelle: "You vs Me" Out Now
2:29 PM
XF Netherlands 2011 winner, and very possible the final one (that is if XF doesn't come back in spring 2013 as it's stated to), is finally unveiling her debut album, out today, March 30. I've always said that Rochelle sounded like Jessie J during her XF run but in her debut record, "You vs Me", the girl totally unleashes the innner Jessie she always had, specially on first album single, "What a Life", which sounds like something the own "Price Tag" hitmaker would perform. The album's title track isn't exactly showing all the swagger Rochelle has, instead, it shows the Jordin Sparks wannabe she first showed in her debut single, "No Air", an ok effort, just not good enough. Thankfully, the album tracks are more Jessie than Jordin, a relief if you ask me, cause honestly, the whole album sounds quite fantastic, so go get your copy now!

Haley Reinhart: "Free" Music Video
29 March, 2012 5:21 PM
Fan fave Haley Reinhart is debuting her first music video! The growl goddess first single is titled "Free" and was released on March 20, 2012 via Interscope, the label she was signed soon after placing third on S10 of Idol. The song serves as the lead single of her debut album, "Listen Up!", which is due out May 22. Haley's jazzy tone is in full display during the 4 minutes the video lasts and also her signature hair and legs. Despite it was written by Lucie Silvas and busbee, it seems Haley wrote it herself, her connection with the song is amazing and the fact that her first single is this strong only points that the album will be equally good!

The Voice Of Ireland: Season 1: Top 20 - Part 2 - Perform!
27 March, 2012 7:46 PM
So after the third live show, we have now established that the voting
public's ability to choose the right contestant to go is so inaccurate,
it's almost ridiculous. I'm still not quite sure how Claire went last
week especially after the bizarre Lady Gaga song choice for Alan in Team
Brian. Hopefully with Kian and Sharon, things will be better but with
one of my favourites, Fauve Chapman going in Live Show 2, I'm seriously
hoping that we don't have another bad bottom two for each team. Only
time will tell.

I'M LOOKING FOR A DANISH TRANSLATOR, IF INTRESETED, EMAIL ME
We lost Morten Benjamin last week, cause an all Unders final was too good to be true. Thankfully, my two girls remain and they'll battle against Sveinur in the hopes of becoming the winner. By the end of the night, one of Line, Ida or Sveinur will be taking the crown but that's not before they duet with Denmark's biggest artists, Oh Land, Alphabeat and Lukas Graham, plus a special Medina performance. Who'll be the winner tonight?! ... It's time to face the music!

Iris Kroes: "Just More" Out Now
24 March, 2012 1:28 AM
Two months after winning the second season of The Voice of Holland, Iris Kroes is releasing her debut single with 8ball Music, "Just More", which is a cover of deutsch pop band Wonderwall, now disbanded. The single was released on March 10, and despite the little promotion it recived, it managed to climb to the 35th position of the top 100. Previous winner Ben Saunder's singles didn't cope well with the charts either but his debut album got a lot of praise, so this low position for Iris doesn't worry me and it does even less considering how much I like the single. Although there are many similarities with the original, Iris's signature harp and soft vocals totally sold it for me, even when it's a cover, which is a huge no in my debut single guidebook.

Moa Lignell: "When I Held Ya" Music Video
22 March, 2012 10:36 PM
She wowed everyone with her original song, "When I Held Ya", at her audition for Idol Sweden 2011, eventually making it to the top 3. Soon after that, it was announced that Moa had signed with Universal Records, who made her popular song a hit in Sweden, placing #4 in the charts. I'm really surprised we've not heard of any other fellow finalists being signed, cause honestly, the final season of Idol Sweden probably had the best top 11 in a long time, I'm sure some more signings will pop up eventually. Back to Moa, the Sherpas Cinema produced music video for her debut has finally arrived and it's as good as you imagined. I won't spoil any details, so be sure to watch!

Apologies to everyone that reads my posts. I know I've been running late with the post publishing. Early last week, I lost my internet connection for a few days and when it came back on, I couldn't muster up the excitement to write these posts. Haha...

After the not so shocking exits of Ryan and Gavin two weeks ago, Bressie and Brian's teams of each are now readying themselves for another performance infront of the live audience at The Helix as they try desperately to get through to yet another week of the competition. Standouts from the last Bressie/Brian performances were Claire and Kiera/Connor for Teams Brian and Bressie respectively so let's hope those three and the rest of the acts can keep up that high standard for tonight's performances.

17 March, 2012 4:58 PM
After Bressie and Brian's team stepped up last week with some of them namely Conor, Kiera and Claire in particular delivering show stopping performances, it's over to Kian and Sharon to impress as their teams perform in front of the live audience at The Helix. And considering that I more or less disagreed with every decision Kian made in the Battle Rounds but finally agreed with him partially last week, it will be interesting to see how he is with his own team. Some of my favourites performing tonight are Fauve, Elliot and Kellie. So, the question that remains to be seen is who will perform and what will they perform? Oh and will they pull it off? We'll have to wait and see!

American Idol 2012: Top 24 Girls Perform & Results
10:20 AM
After watching the Boys perform, I gotta say, that was fairly disappointing for a first live show. Next up is the girls and hopefully they are better. After they perform, America will vote again and decide who makes it into the Top 5 of each gender, creating a Top 10. The Judges will then pick 6 contestants to sing once more in hopes of being one of 3 Wildcard choices picked by the panel to round out Season 11's Top 13. Who survived the dramatic cut? Who got a second chance? This... Is American Idol!

However, still remaining are some incredible talents including Sinead Fox, Kellie Blaise, Elliot Canavan-Doyle, Conor Quinn and Fauve Chapman and that's just the start of it! So now that the public are involved, let's hope that the talent survives and the judges', at times bizarre decisions don't lead to the departure of some of the show's most talented!

Our Swedish quirky goddess is back with not one but two new music videos. "Sever" which premiered on February 14 and "Drops" which premired on February 28. I'm really liking this new stuff! Her previous material wasn't listenable enough, they were amazing videos but not amazing songs to play on the radio, however, this two new singles depart from the previous trend and are wonderfull iPod material, not radio cause they are obviously not commercial enough but it should make an enjoyable listen on your iPod.
