‘The Voice’ Season 2 Premiere: Blind Auditions Recap & Performances
Sun Feb 5 2012 by Idolator Staff
As everyone knows, the post-Super Bowl slot is a coveted spot for any show, and this year NBC gave the honors to The Voice, hoping to hook new fans as the fab foursome of judges takes a break from playing Guesstures to usher in Season 2. As anyone who caught the inaugural outing knows, Javier Colon (of Team Levine) emerged victorious, closely followed by Dia Frampton. What's in store for Season 2? Well, for starters, an all-star roster of mentors including Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke, and Alanis Morrisette, and Adam gloating about last season's win about 400 times per episode. But as the title of the show implies, it's the pipes of the contestants that really matter. So how'd this season's lineup of talent do? See how the premiere went down below. More »
Lana Del Rey’s ‘SNL’ Performance: Now An ‘SNL’ Skit
Sun Feb 5 2012 by Idolator Staff
One rather obvious and tiresome joke after Lana Del Rey's Saturday Night Live performance, at least among her critics, was that it resembled a Kristen Wiig skit. (Indeed, Newsday said Del Rey's rendition of "Video Games" was "so awful it could easily have been a Kristen Wiig skit, maybe one where she impersonates a Fiona Apple wannabe.”) Never one to let a meta-joke slip idly by, SNL's Weekend Update segment last night featured — what else — Kristen Wiig channeling Del Rey in a methodical defense of her appearance as the show's musical guest. Watch below. More »
Mary J. Blige Performs “Mr. Wrong” And “The Living Proof” On ‘Wendy Williams’
Sat Feb 4 2012 by Idolator Staff
Leave it to Wendy Williams to get right to the juicy stuff. Mary J. Blige made her first appearance on the colorful talk show, and its effervescent host sure didn't shy away from heavy topics like motherhood, marital problems, and substance abuse. The Oscar-snubbed songbird opened up about all this and more when questioned about how she can continue drinking even after a long battle with cocaine addiction. Said Mary: "I don’t need alcohol to get me out of a depression or get me out of a bad moment, but I have occasional drinks with my friends." The diva also had time to perform "Mr. Wrong" and The Help soundtrack's "The Living Proof." Watch it all below.

Wiz Khalifa Explains His ‘O.N.I.F.C.’ Album Title
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Becky Bain
We've been racking our brains trying to decipher the title of Wiz Khalifa's upcoming album O.N.I.F.C., and whatever terrible meaning we came up with (Outrageous Names Inspire Fabulous Choices? Only Nougat In Fun-size Crunch bars? ) was nowhere near what the acronym actually stands for. “It’s the Only N-Word in First Class,” Wiz explained during his appearance on “Sway in the Morning” on Shade 45. “It’s inspired by [Mobb Deep's] Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. When he dropped that, I felt like that sounded so strong.” More »
Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’” Video: Review Revue
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Becky Bain
When Madonna drops a new video, people are going to talk about it — it's a law of pop nature, folks. And there certainly is a lot to discuss in the MDNA singer's "Give Me All Your Luvin'" video: Golden rain! Trick photography! Triple Marilyns! (Or are those Triple Madonnas during her Marilyn era?) Though no one is naming this one of Madge's best videos (the woman has so many good ones, where would we even begin to name the best?), the reactions are far more along the lines of "touchdown" than "fumble". Okay, enough sports euphemisms — head below to read what the web thinks of Madonna's latest campy clip.

Spice Girls’ Album ‘Spice’ Turns 15: Backtracking
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Robbie Daw
Backtracking is our recurring look back at the pop music that shaped our lives. Friends may come and go, but we'll be spinning our favorite albums forever.
It's hard to imagine now, but 15 years ago, there was no Britney Spears on the radio. Nor was there Christina Aguilera or Pink or Lady Gaga. Apart from the reigning divas at the time — that would be Madonna, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey — the pop landscape was filled with post-grunge rock chicks like Alanis Morissette and Courtney Love, and fresh R&B female acts like TLC, Mary J. Blige and Aaliyah. That's when American Idol creator Simon Fuller, then known best for managing Annie Lennox, took a gamble that our lives could all use a little spicing up. More »

The Best — And Worst! — National Anthem Performances Football Has Ever Seen
Thu Feb 2 2012 by Idolator Staff
In just three days, Super Bowl XLVI will be under way in Indianapolis. There will be touchdowns, Madonna, M.I.A., LMFAO, maybe Cee Lo Green, bets won and bets lost. There will also be flags flown and an anthem sung, as is the custom for big American sports spectacles. This, to many, is the biggest of them all, and the very worthy Kelly Clarkson will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner", bringing her range and power to a song that many have attempted but few have mastered.
There have been some incredible — and some unforgivable — versions of the national anthem sung at football games past. Take a trip down memory lane with us while we recap the five very best and the five very worst. More »
