Kelly Clarkson Covers Madonna’s “Crazy For You”
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
Current chart ruler Kelly Clarkson was apparently in the mood for a little old-school Madonna recently. (Not surprising, given that the two performed at the Super Bowl on Sunday.) During a tour stop in Bossier City, Louisiana, the Stronger singer took a fan request and belted out a cover of Madge's ballad "Crazy For You". Kelly said of the audience pick, "We've been doing this on tour, because I got here from fans voting for me ten years ago. So it's still cool that you all are involved in my show."

Dia Frampton From ‘The Voice’ Covers Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games”
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
The second season of The Voice kicked off last night, and though we've got a whole new batch of contestants to get excited about, we've still got one ear tuned to last year's runner-up, Dia Frampton. "Day off. A good day to do a cover of @LanaDelRey," tweeted Frampton, attaching a video of herself performing an gentle, acoustic rendition of the Born To Die singer's single "Video Games" on the guitar. Did Dia sing it better than Lana? Judge for yourself below. More »
Catch Katy Perry’s Pre-Super Bowl Party Performance
Sun Feb 5 2012 by Idolator Staff
Everyone may be most enthused about Madonna's halftime performance, but to hold us over until that show-stopper, Katy Perry performed a slightly-smaller scale show at the DirecTV's Pre-Super Bowl party last night in Indianapolis. The newly blue (and newly single) songbird appeared in a sporty outfit with similarly-athletic backup dancers to perform "Teenage Dream," "Hot N Cold," "E.T.," and "Peacock." (Has she finally decided to let "The One That Got Away" be the one that got away?) Let the mer-girl get you ready for some football below.

Nick Carter Honors Fallen Sister Leslie Carter With “Falling Down”
Sat Feb 4 2012 by Idolator Staff
Nick Carter is no doubt still reeling from the news that his sister Leslie has died in an apparent drug overdose, but he hasn't let that stop him from sharing his music with fans: "Performing is cathartic to me and I am dedicating the rest of my tour to my sister since she loved to watch me perform,” he said in a statement. Nick carried on with that sentiment Wednesday night at Irving Plaza in New York City, where he said: "I've never done this before, and I never thought I'd ever have to, but I'd like to dedicate this song to my sister," before launching into "Falling Down" from his solo album I'm Taking Off. Watch the "Beautiful Lie" singer tribute Leslie below.

Watch Madonna Answer Stupid Questions At Her Super Bowl Press Conference
Thu Feb 2 2012 by Becky Bain
When you sign up to perform at the Super Bowl, you also sign up to be asked dozens of asinine questions by journalists. Madonna attended an NFL press conference earlier today, where she was asked hard-hitting questions, like, "What do you think of Indianapolis?" and "What's the craziest thing you've seen in Indy so far?" and "Is it true that [your ex Alex Rodriquez] has an oil painting of himself depicted as a centaur, half man, half horse, in his home?" (She has no idea, but she is pretty sure A-Rod has a picture of her on a horse somewhere.) We didn't expect people to throw grenades at her, but c'mon — this is Madonna. Don't waste the lady's time with your softballs! If you've got a spare 22 minutes, watch the entire press conference below. More »

Christina Aguilera Tributes Etta James With “At Last” At Her Funeral
Sat Jan 28 2012 by Idolator Staff
Christina Aguilera already made our list of the top 10 Etta James covers to honor her memory, but we must say, the body-confident diva has outdone herself by performing at the soulful legend's funeral. One week after her passing, today mourners gathered to remember the late great, and of course, the most fitting tribute of all for the four-time Grammy-winning icon is a musical one — thus performances from Christina Aguilera and Stevie Wonder were amongst the remembrances.

Lana Del Rey Gives Impressive “Video Games” Performance On BBC Live Lounge
Thu Jan 26 2012 by Robbie Daw
Each successive performance Lana Del Rey has given after her widely-discussed one for Saturday Night Live has been pretty decent, and her latest, for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, is no exception. Below you'll find the New York songstress knocking out a stripped-down “Video Games” with her band. Who knows, naysayers — you may just have to chalk up the SNL drama to the Complex cover girl's nerves, not lack of talent.
