Ellie Goulding burned up the stage at JetBlue’s Live At T5 yesterday — so much so that a fire alarm went off during the English singer-songwriter’s performance of “Your Song”. Ellie just laughed it off saying, “Bloody typical, the fire alarm would go off during this,” and simply continued to serenade the crowd of lucky travelers and Idolator contest winners. The Late Show performer’s killer set included acoustic versions of “Lights” and “Salt Skin”. Get up close at John F. Kennedy airport with Kelly Clarkson’s favorite artist.

Thu Dec 29 2011 by Becky Bain
Though we admittedly had a ball compiling the list of the 10 Worst Album Covers of 2011, we’re not just a bunch of haters here at Idolator. There were several album covers from LPs released this year — 10 to be precise — that we fell head over heels in love with, either due to the cover’s originality, its entertainment value, or just the sheer beauty of the particular piece. Last year we chose Katy Perry’s whimsical Teenage Dream as our favorite cover art, and this year’s #1 pick is just as dreamy. Check out the 10 best examples of how an album’s cover can elevate the entire experience of enjoying music. More »

Best Music 2011: Ellie Goulding Picks Her Favorite Album Of The Year
Mon Dec 12 2011 by Robbie Daw
Earlier this month, we kicked off our Best Music 2011 series with soul punk Patrick Stump, who chose Paul Simon's So Beautiful Or So What as his favorite album of 2011. (And the Chicago artist wasn't the only one smitten with folk rock legend Simon's return — Rolling Stone ranked So Beautiful Or So What at #3 on the publication's own year-end roundup of albums.)
Next we sat down with Ellie Goulding, who chose an album by a band from her home country of England as her favorite this year. You no doubt caught Ellie's mesmerizing Saturday Night Live performance in the spring, if not her gigs at Coachella and Lollapalooza, or her opening slot on Katy Perry's California Dreams Tour. Now head below to watch her describe the LP she found to be the most listenable in 2011. More »
