Loading ...Like many of you who watched last night’s movie-themed American Idol, I was a little mystified by the second Bryan Adams song of the evening, Matt Giraud’s take on “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?” Not because the selection—a song from Don Juan DeMarco that Adams co-wrote with Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen—pushed the night over into having too much of the Canadian rocker, but because there wasn’t enough. With only seven contestants left at this stage, everyone could have had their own Bryan Adams song from a film. Wouldn’t you have enjoyed hearing Adam Lambert’s take on “One Night Love Affair”? Six other Adams songs that made their way onto soundtracks are below the cut. (Add them to last night’s selections, and you have more than enough material to fill a show.) Here’s hoping the producers will start running their theme-night ideas by me in advance.

Britons Wander Through Their Playing Cards Almost Anywhere They Go
or a while, I could not go anywhere without hearing Three Doors Down’s atrocious “Kryptonite”… and that was three years after it was a hit.

This cosmic joke went on for few months, each time sending me into the spastic fit of the Hate Shakes™. To figure out how this phenomenon plays out across the pond, BBC Radio 2 and the British licensing organism PPL have attempted to quantify the most inescapable songs of the last 75 years. The results are rather surprising:

Live-Blogging The “American Idol” Finale, Part II: This, Right Here, Is Our Now
Welcome to our second night of live-blogging the American Idol finale, two hours of spectacle leading up to the crowning of a David as the favorite pop singer of this very phone-equipped nation. I’m watching the TV Guide Channel’s preshow, which has Kimberly Caldwell screaming a lot and Justin Guarini laughing dumbly a bunch and Janice Dickinson saying that she’s in the tank for Archie too. (For that the producers denied Danny Noriega a ticket? Hmph.) Also, apparently Simon Cowell told Justin Guarini that it was a draw while I was on the phone?! Looks like someone saw our poll! Coverage begins after the jump…

“American Idol” Encourages Americans To Be Somewhat Interested In Mika
Mika’s “Grace Kelly,” which got the cover treatment from the famously cast-off Josiah Leming during last week’s Hollywood week episodes of American Idol, reappeared on the digital-tracks charts thanks to a 422% gain in sales; it sold 11,000 copies and came in at No. 133. More »
