Justin trends with GaGa along with new Synth jam.

2009-10-26T18:37:00.003-04:00

Look at our favorite guy, Justin Bieber as he released his latest song, Love Me, a day early on iTunes! He trended on Twitter today with Lady Gaga's new song "Bad Romance", also released. One Less Lonely Girl also trended the day of it's release. Unlike the R&B/Pop balladness of "One Less Lonely Girl" and the Hip sound of "One Time" Justin delivers and unexpected and incredible tune in his latest. "Love Me" a up-tempo Synthpop song even sounds a bit like his release date mate, Lady GaGa, and even remind me of a little RiRi. "One Less Lonely Girl" is not dropping so far down on iTunes, so maybe it won't drop anymore in the Hot 100, as it dropped out the top 50 last week, because of its exclusive iTunes release. But one might wonder why OLLG wasn't released to radio or Amazon.com. Hopefully his songs will still prevail, let's support Justin & get his songs high up the charts!

New Idolatry Interview!

2009-08-22T23:23:00.001-04:00

Click to viewww!

Here's the preview from EW!

Kris Allen is a man of contradictions. The American Idol season 8 champ is scared of Twitter, and yet at the same time, loves the concise social-networking site. He’s reluctant to give scoop about his hotly anticipated debut disc, and yet he gives Idolatry exclusive info about his two newest songwriting collaborators. He reads tour reviews — even the too-cool-for-the-room negative ones — and yet ultimately, he doesn’t give a hoot about what he refers to as the “blahdee blah blah-blah.” (And this is why we love him.) Press play below to see what Kris reveals about himself (and where he chooses to remain coy) from his tour stop in Albany, N.Y. There’s Bonus Wolfgang, and even a Bonus Anoop reference (from Kris’ own lips, so pay attensh)!

Excerpts:

Q. You’re working with a wide variety of people on your debut from hip-hop producer-writer Salaam Remi to singer-songwriter Mat Kearney to Joe King of the pop-rock band the Fray. Should we intuit that the record will offer a lot of different styles?

A. I think we were experimenting with some things. The Salaam thing was definitely an experiment to see what would happen. And then [we hooked up] with people like Joe who are definitely along the same track. We’re doing some things that obviously make sense in people’s heads and we’re trying to do some things that didn’t make so much sense. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve had a great time with everyone.

Q. Do you have any dream collaborators?

A. I’m a big a John Legend fan, I think he’s incredible so that would be really nice. Since I was a kid I’ve always liked Matchbox Twenty and I think Rob Thomas is a great writer.

Q. How do you think “Idol’’ will fare without Paula Abdul?

A. I think the show will definitely miss her, but it is “American Idol’’ and it’s huge and it will go on, I am sure of that. I am glad that I was part of a year Paula was there though, to be honest, I thought she was incredible.

Q. You were the first person to win an actual trophy. Where do you keep it?

A. The real truth is I have not seen that trophy since I held it on the show.

Q. You’re not likely to get a real break for about a year. Have you come to some sort of peace with that?

A. I’m a pretty calm guy, so I came to that very quickly. Someone told me that, I think it was David Cook. He was like, “You’re not going to have a day off for a long time.’’ And I was like, OK. For me, I would like to go home and hang out with my family and friends, but I do also get to do exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life, so that’s kind of cool.

TC Magazine Interview

Read full interview

Excerpt:

TC: How has the tour been so far?

KA: I feel like it’s been great. We’re kind of getting used to everything, and the shows are going really well. The crowds are amazing, and we are getting used to all the press stuff that we have to do and the meet and greets and all that. I’m excited because I haven’t been to a whole lot of places in the States, and so we’ve been getting to go everywhere, which has been nice.

TC: Do you get to see much of the cities you are in, or is it just on and off the bus?

KA: There are days off sometimes. Today we got here at 4 a.m., and we’re leaving right after the show. We were in Portland for a long time. Portland is a great town. It was really nice. We were in San Francisco a few days, and I had never been there before. So you get to see a little bit — not a full tour or anything.

TC: You sing last on tour, so what do you do while everyone else is on stage?

KA: I’m just maybe making some phone calls — calling [my wife] Katy or calling friends. I might be listening to music or playing my guitar. I have a lot of downtime because I am on for only like 25 minutes, and the show is three hours long. Sometimes I take naps…very needed naps.

TC: How did you pick your songs for the tour?

KA: Obviously people want to hear the songs we did on the show, so I’m doing a couple of those. The other ones — two of them are actually ones I wanted to do on the show but wasn’t able to, and so I was actually able to do them on the tour. The other one is just one that I had sung before when I was doing music. It’s a crowd pleaser. People can sing along with it, so it’s nice.

TC: Was it your decision to take out the “American Idol” coronation song, “No Boundaries?”

KA: A lot of people kind of came in and said that it wasn’t a detriment to the set or anything like that, but it was kind of bringing it down just a little bit. So we decided to replace it with the Killers song “All These Things I Have Done” just because the energy in that song is very crowd-happy.

TC: So has that kept the crowd energy up better?

KA: Yeah, it really has so far. It’s been good.

TC: Are you excited to be back in your home state tonight?

KA: We pulled up this morning, and I was like half-dead, but it just felt like home. You see familiar things and weather and all that. It’s familiar. I’m used to it, which is good.

TC: Are you expecting complete madness when you take the stage? Are you ready for it?

KA: I’m a little scared actually. Obviously we have big crowds every night, but Arkansas is going to bring it to a whole new level. I am very excited about it. It’s going to be home. I know that people in Arkansas really get behind the people that come from here.

TC: So you’re going to be singing the same songs over and over for the next three months. Are you getting tired of them yet?

KA: I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. We’re kind of early. Maybe it will happen, but I don’t think so. Every crowd is different so it makes every show different.

TC: I hear all the guys are on one tour bus. Does it get a little cozy?

KA: Yeah, all seven guys. It’s a little cramped. It’s hard to walk around. It’s going good, though. We’re having a good time on the bus.

TC: You are working on your album while you are on tour, right? Is it hard to switch from performance mode to writing and recording mode?

KA: It is! One day I’ll perform, and the next day I’ll fly to L.A. and do some writing or something like that. It’s hard to switch your mind, but it’s something I’m getting used to.

TC: Are you writing most of the songs on the album?

KA: I’ve been co-writing some stuff and writing some stuff on my own as well. People are sending songs in, too. We’ll kind of put together a whole jumble of songs and then pick the best ones. I would love to be [a writer] on all of those, but we’ll see what happens.

TC: Do you feel like you’ve had a voice in the whole album-making process?

KA: I do. I feel like they really trust me and respect me, which is good.

TC: You’ve been saying the album will be pop-rock, but what do you mean by that?

KA: I think that would be the genre to put it in, but that genre is so huge.

TC: Will you be playing guitar and piano?

KA: I think so. It will definitely have that organic feel, but it will bring something else as well.

TC: Do you have a name for the album yet?

KA: No, I don’t think so. We’ll probably come up with that after we get a better feel for the album.

VOTE FOR KRIS IN THIS MSNBC POLL!

Excerpt. Read full review.

And finally: Kris Allen. Coming after a presentation as spectacular (in "spectacle" sense) as Lambert's, it would be easy for the actual winner to fall pancake-flat, but he doesn't. Instead, the grandiosity of the Lambert set makes the relative intimacy of the Allen set work better. They're so different that they don't suffer from comparisons. No, Kris Allen can't sing "Fashion" while stroking his own face with polished nails, but Adam Lambert couldn't sit at a piano and pull off Allen's affecting "Ain't No Sunshine."
