Fri Sep 24 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
The end is near for Friday Video Time, and as we prepared our penultimate list of the best songs that begin with a specific letter of the alphabet, we managed to do something never before done with our previous 24 letters. This week, not only do our top songs from the past 50 years start with the same letter, they also start with the same word: "you". Jump below to check out the best "You" songs from the last five decades.

‘American Idol’: Lee DeWyze Wins, Simon Says Goodbye And, Oh, The Performances!
Thu May 27 2010 by Robbie Daw
So how do you feel, American Idolators, after Lee DeWyze clinched the Season 9 crown in what Ryan Seacrest declared was a narrow two percent difference in amount of votes? Our poll in the right sidebar shows that the majority of you were supporting Crystal Bowersox. Personally, we were supporting the awesomeness that was Daryl Hall and John Oates performing "You Make My Dreams"! (Hey, it's better than Lee's lackluster cover of "Beautiful Day"—which is now available on iTunes, BTW.) After the jump: we've got all the performances of the night—Janet! Alanis! Carrie Underwood! Bret Michaels! GENERAL LARRY PLATT and WILLIAM HUNG!!!—and, in case you missed it, the final moments when Lee won this season of American Idol.

Live Blog: The ‘American Idol’ Finale
Wed May 26 2010 by Becky Bain
We've come to the bittersweet end of American Idol Season 9. Yes, this has been a spectacularly dull season full of some questionable contestants and bizarre behavior from Ryan Seacrest—but that's all part of the fun! We're sad to live without Idol for another year, and even more heartbroken we'll have to live without Simon Cowell for even longer. Keep your head held high and your pants down on the ground, and follow along with our live blog as we find out whether America is Team DeWyze or has finally crowned a female winner with Mama Sox.

7 Artists That Need To Be “Madonna’d” On ‘Glee’ Right Now!
Tue Apr 27 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
While we think it's great that Glee creator Ryan Murphy sees some seriously potential in an all-Britney Spears episode of his hit musical dramedy, why stop at kooky blondes? We figured there must other artists who would be a perfect fit for New Directions. We got our Glee-gears spinning and came up an all-star list of pop artists who have more than earned their own Madonna-style Gleek-ing. Sadly, Mariah Carey and Phil Collins did not make the cut, but check after the jump to see the seven stars we'd like to see with an "L" on their foreheads.

Did you hear?
:: Ke$ha unveiled the glitter-gel artwork for her third single, "Your Love Is My Drug," which looks like she made it her summer camp arts-and-crafts class. [Just Jared]
:: Check out a preliminary list of the Best Songs of 2010 so far. How come "Pants on the Ground" isn't on this list? [Spinner]
:: Still reeling from the Auto-Tuned-to-death "We Are The World" re-recording? It could be worse. Here's 20 other horrible charity singles. [Stereogum]
:: Nicole Scherzinger denies that she is romantically involved with her Dancing With The Stars partner, Derek Hough. If she wants these rumors to stop, maybe she should reconsider her less-than-modest wardrobe. [Wonderwall]
:: Remember Coolio? Well, even if you don't, the law does—the "Gangsta's Paradise" rapper has been hit with a $10,000 bench warrant for failing to appear in court, stemming from an incident from March 2009 when crack cocaine was found in his luggage at LAX. [The BoomBox]

Mamma Mia, This Article On “The Decline Of The Soundtrack” Has Some Major Problems
Tue Aug 11 2009 by Maura
Today the fancypants Hollywood site The Wrap ran a lengthy piece on what author Dominic Patten saw as the demise of the soundtrack, using as evidence the weak performance of the Linkin Park-led tie-in album for Transformers 2; lousy sales for the 500 Days Of Summer soundtrack compared to Zach Braff’s Garden State juggernaut; the lack of soundtracks Bruno and Obsessed (the latter of which starred Beyoncé); and the generally crummy atmosphere for album sales this year. But despite having a bit of reportage and a few statistics sprinkled into its stew of bad news, the whole article felt kind of off to me. I asked Courtney Smith, a sometime music supervisor and writer for the music-in-movies blog The Playlist, what she thought of the piece. Our back-and-forth, after the jump. More »
Mickey Mouse And Minnie Mouse Engage In Some (Creepy) “Digital Love”
Fri Feb 13 2009 by Dan Gibson
Those copyright cops at YouTube deleted the account of Trunks6, a genius at combining peculiar pop songs with clips from Disney films, late last year. (They must hate love.) But the man is back—and he’s brought back his greatest hits for us to enjoy again. If you love romance and the somewhat icky feelings that watching animated dogs and cats frolicking to a particularly erotic Marvin Gaye song arouse in your soul, you’re in for a treat today.
