SEASON 5 BILLBOARD NEWS: From Christmas to Country, the season five Idols are still making headlines in music news. Billboard reports that Elliott Yamin’s holiday album, My Kind of Holiday, dropped just last week on 10/7. The album reportedly gives some holiday classics the funky, soulful spin for which Elliott is known.
Taylor Hicks has aligned with Artist to Market, the artist services company, for the release of his next album, which is due out February 10, 2009. Those who fell in love with Taylor by seeing him perform live on AI will also be glad to know that he is releasing "Whomp at the Warfield," a live DVD taped at a San Francisco venue.
Kellie Pickler proves that her successful debut album wasn't just beginner's luck, as her sophomore self-titled CD debuted at #1 on Top Country Albums and #9 on The Billboard 200. Kellie is the sixth artist in the Nielsen SoundScan era to debut at #1 with her first two studio albums. All of her predecessors were female, one of whom was Carrie Underwood. By entering the country chart at #1, Kellie's second album is the 205th chart-topper to come from American Idol. WHAT??? 205 idols have been on Billboard? Wow? I would never have guessed.
1. CryBaby Car Boy, Josiah Lemming: Remember him? The homeless runaway that made it to Hollywood week and then got cut for being too cocky? Well, immediately after he was 'let loose', Warner Bros. signed him for a record deal. And he is about to release his first album. Hold On...Screeech. The money machine known as 19???whatever got the news and Lawyer'd Up. As in, file a "Oh no you DIN'It" on his ass, and is stopping him from the gig. Seems that signing to be on the show is the same as selling your soul to the Devil, only more painful to your future.
Let's see how this plays out.
2. David Cook's on Saturday Night Live in like 1.5 hours and I am about to pee my pants. OMG, can't wait.
3. Carrie Underwood is hosting the CMA Awards this week with Brad Paisley. She is a rocket ship of hotness. She also just got a wax figure at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
4. Jennifer Hudson news continues to be the saddest of all. I guess there was a Dreamgirls II casting that has been put on hold.
5. Simon's girlfriend dumped him. Terri Seymour. She wanted kids and family. He likes rolling around in money and himself. Not in that order.
6. Ace Young is on Broadway starring in Grease. AmyB sent a pic from her phone...since she is cruising Broadway in a fancy pair of Nikes...running the New York City Marathon! Good Luck AMY. (She's the chick from work that beat cancer...and is like doing better at life than ever before. I tell her she won the cancer lotto! ha ha)
7. Two weeks until the David Cook and David Archuleta Showdown: Round 2 "This Time It's About the Music and the Cash Register". Oh yeah...it's going to be ugly. Prediction: Archuleta will outsell Cook. Look...that little CRUSH song is awesome. I listen to it like 4 times a week. And I don't listen to music alot. I'm a newstalk Junky, especially with the election. I like Cook's new song, but the whole album better not sound like that. There better be a slow song. I love his voice when it's calm and soothing.
8.Saw that dumbass Constantine Maroulis on that Wayne Brady lyric show as I was channel surfing. He lost. He's so weird.
9. Melinda Doolittle has a debut CD
10. Kristy Lee Cook made her Grand Ole Opry Debut last week.
Well, that's about it for me. Did I miss anyone or anything. I mean Bucky has a new single, but really? Bucky? Ok, I guess I am missing it.
xoxo,

Run, Amy, Run

Thanks, Cole! I did it, I finished the NYC Marathon. You're funny. My friend from grade school that I reconnected with on Facebook asked me "Was your life this fun pre-cancer?" ha! Not really :)
