Ellen DeGeneres Talks American Idol
Posted in American Idol, Radio Show on the September 15, 2009
Ellen DeGeneres made a call to Ryan Seacrest’s radio show last Thursday to talk about being the new judge on the upcoming season of American Idol. The talk show host spoke on her qualifications to be a judge, saying “The people are the ones that choose the American Idol. Ultimately it doesn’t come down to some expert in the music industry, it comes down to everybody at home that says ‘that’s the person I relate to, that’s the person that I’m going to buy music from’.” Ellen also talked about her judging style, saying “I’m not going to be mean, I hate when Simon [Cowell] is that mean. You can be constructive and criticize somebody that’s helpful instead of mean spirited.”
Christina Aguilera Keeps Coy on New Album
Posted in Christina Aguilera, MIA, Radio Show on the August 21, 2009
Christina Aguilera is still keeping quiet about the details of her upcoming album but the singer recently told APE radio station last week that “I can’t let too much out the bag too soon. I just can’t, ‘cause I really want you guys to be surprised and to experience firsthand what I’m talking about or what I’m not talking too much about. Too soon in the game, but wrapping everything up now. I think I’m most proud of this work than I’ve ever been, just because I worked with so many amazing and incredibly talented people. [Sia and I] did a lot of work on this record together, and she’s just a complete gem. She’s truly just such a talented force to be reckoned with. And I so enjoyed her company, and I think we really created some super crazy magic together. I got a chance to sort of write with Santigold, M.I.A., Lady Tron — artists that I really love.”

Michael Jackson Rises to Top of Charts
Posted in Billboard's Top Music, Michael Jackson, Radio Show on the July 3, 2009
When your music is universal, it’s going to live on forever. That’s the case with the music performed by the late King of Pop Michael Jackson. In spite of his sudden death, his music lives on in his absence by receiving a lot of radio airplay. It should come as no surprise that the singer has returned to the top of the Billboard charts. Industry experts say that three of the singer’s albums, ‘Number Ones’, ‘The Essential Michael Jackson’, and ‘Thriller’ each sold around 100,000 in the past week. All 3 titles will be the top 3 albums on Billboard’s Top Pop Catalog chart and Michael may secure anywhere from 6 to 9 slots in the tally’s top 10 with some of his other albums.
Mariah Carey Hangs Up
Posted in Divas, George Michael, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Radio Show, Records Sale on the April 2, 2008
Mariah Carey turned every bit the diva when she was on Radio One on Sunday. The curvaceous singer did her very best Madonna “I’m a Brit†impression but then got her panties in a bunch when the radio host inadvertently said she’s only sold 80 million records. ONLY!!! Mariah then countered the number and said that her record sales are actually closer to 160 million when the call was mysteriously dropped. Did she hang upon the radio interview? Talk about being a diva. It’s almost as egotistical as George Michael saying there’s going to be movies made on his life.
Rihanna Takes a Bow
Posted in Chris Brown, Hit Song, New Single, R&B, Radio Show, Rihanna on the March 18, 2008
Rihanna made the world premiere of her latest single ‘Take a Bow’ on Friday morning on Ryan Seacrest’s ‘On Air’ radio show on 102.7 KIIS FM Los Angeles. The song is about a break up with the girl just being spiteful and pitying on the guy. Much like Rihanna’s previous singles, let’s hope this one becomes a hit too. Let’s make 2008 her year as well. I’m just hoping that the song’s subject doesn’t happen to her though. Despite still not admitting it, everyone already knows that she and R&B crooner Chris Brown are dating. I’m hoping they last. They look cute together.
