Grammy Awards 2010: Who Will Win Album Of The Year?
12:15 PM on Fri Jan 29 2010 by Robbie Daw
Now that we've thrown our money into the office Grammy pool for who will clinch Best New Artist, Song and Record Of The Year (not to mention which artists will walk away a golden phonograph in the Pop categories), there's just one more loose end to tie up: Album Of The Year. In the E.N.D., will it be fearlessness, fame or fierceness that wins out?

1:26 PM on Fri Jan 15 2010 by Becky Bain
After visiting Anderson Cooper 360 earlier this week to call a "state of emergency" for his home country of Haiti following the disastrous earthquake, Wyclef Jean personally flew down to the devastation to provide hands-on support.
While standing right in the middle of what Jean describes as "the apocalypse," he and his wife were interviewed by a Fox News reporter who calls the rapper/singer "Haiti's version of Bono [and] Bruce Springsteen." Interview after the jump, including other efforts made by Lady Gaga, Blink-182 and other notable names in music to help out the victims from Tuesday's tragic 7.0 earthquake.

Kelly Clarkson’s New Music And — Surprise! — New Covers Emerge From Live Gig
10:33 AM on Mon Dec 28 2009 by Becky Bain
Kelly Clarkson seems to have wrapped up her All I Ever Wanted Tour with one heck of a performance. A trove of new live Kelly recordings (including several new songs) is up, and now it's pretty much impossible not to be thrilled about the potential of her recording a new album. She's due to tour well into the new year, but for now, check out these first hints of her new direction — if nothing else, you have to respect anyone who writes a song for no other good reason than "I'm a nerd Twilight fan." Plus her cover of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."

The Golden Globes Are All Ears For ‘Glee’
9:43 AM on Tue Dec 15 2009 by Robbie Daw
Fox’s hit high school show choir series Glee may be on hiatus until April, but the love for Finn, Rachel, Kurt and and the rest of the gang of musical outcasts won’t be dying down anytime soon. Nominees for the 67th Golden Globe Awards were announced this morning, and Glee hit a high note by sweeping up the most TV nods with four.
The hour-long program nabbed nominations for Best Television Series—Musical Or Comedy, Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series—Musical Or Comedy (for Lea Michele), Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series—Musical Or Comedy (Matthew Morrison) and Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In A Series, Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television (Jane Lynch).
Kudos also to Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O for snagging a nomination in the Best Original Score—Motion Picture category, for Where The Wild Things Are. This comes only a week after she earned a belated Grammy nod.
Catch the rest of the Golden Globe music nominees after the jump. More »

Adam Lambert And Rihanna Glam Up The Vevo Launch
9:58 AM on Wed Dec 9 2009 by Robbie Daw
Last night’s New York City launch party for new online video hosting site Vevo boasted appearances by pop’s flashy elite. Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Adam Lambert, Sheryl Crow, Shania Twain, Bono, Lady Gaga and Pete Wentz all mingled at Skylight Studio with Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Interscope Records chief Jimmy Iovine.
Vevo, which is partly owned by music giants Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, hopes become the music video viewing destination online—the MTV for the iTunes generation, if you will. Theoretically, there will be no more YouTube-like slogging through clips of hamsters dancing around to “Since U Been Gone” or 12-year-olds doing cartwheels on their bed to “Big Pimpin’” while trying to find the artists’ actual videos.

Britney Spears: The Opera? New Kids on the Block: The Musical? Could these fake jukebox musicals really become a reality? Well, considering how much influence pop music has on Broadway already… More »

If We Can’t Believe In The Idea Of Miley Cyrus Being In A Taxicab While A Jay-Z Song Was On, What Can We Believe In?
12:00 PM on Fri Nov 6 2009 by Maura
Not really understanding the lyrics you’re singing is apparently another thing that falls under the rubric of “just bein’ Miley.” An interview with Billy Ray Cyrus’ spawn reveals that the lyric in her Velveeta-and-Miracle-Whip single “Party In The USA” about hearing a Jay-Z song while in a taxicab is, shockingly, not based on real events. Someone else wrote that lyric, and she just did her job and warbled it through eighty layers of post-production. In fact, she’s never heard a Jay-Z song! Because she doesn’t listen to pop music! At all! Wait, what? More »

Berlin To Bono: “Tear Down This Wall… No, The One Your Show Just Forced The Building Of”
10:45 AM on Thu Nov 5 2009 by Maura
As part of MTV’s Katy Perry-hosted celebration of the Berlin Wall’s destruction in the wall’s former home city this week, U2 will play a free show at the Brandenburg Gate later today. Freedom and free stuff! Yay! But with freedom comes responsibility, and those people who didn’t get their act together to get tickets for the gig—they, unsurprisingly, went pretty quickly—will have to watch on TV at home. They can’t even head down to the area near the Gate and try and hear the show… because a 12-foot fence draped with white sheets is being thrown up so ticketless people will have to stay at home and drive up the telecast’s ratings.

Bono: Ain’t That American
11:30 AM on Mon Oct 19 2009 by Maura
You may have forgotten that U2 frontman Bono was a very occasional guest columnist for The New York Times—after all, it’s been nine months since his Gray Lady debut, and the missive published in yesterday’s Week In Review section was only his fourth under this arrangement. It’s about Barack Obama’s recently bestowed Nobel Peace Prize! And it opens with a reference to Bono getting in hot water with the FCC earlier this decade. More »
