Teen Choice Awards Preview: Nominees And Performers
Sun Aug 7 2011 by Idolator Staff
When it comes to choices, teens make plenty. Which colleges to apply to? Whose house to tell Mom I'm sleeping over at? And, most crucially of all, Team Edward or Team Jacob? That last Major Life Decision is prominently on display as Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson face-off for a number of prizes, including Choice Male Hottie — against stiff competition like Homme Fatale Joe Jonas and supposedly-on-hiatus Justin Bieber. And naturally, no choice a teen will ever make is as paramount a decision as which pop idols to worship. Thus many of our faves are represented tonight as nominees and performers. Head below to see what to expect this evening!

Ryan Tedder Looks Fly Like A G6 On The Set Of FM’s “Rocketeer” Vid
Thu Aug 26 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Though electro-hop collective Far East Movement is busy prepping for its upcoming Up In The Air tour, the hard-partying "Fly Like A G6" squad is also screaming down the runway toward the release of its new album, Free Wired. Their latest move: shooting a video for new single "Rocketeer". The track—penned by FM, The Stereotypes and "Nothin' On You" crooner Bruno Mars—is a collaboration with prolific hitmaker and Kelly Clarkson on-again-off-again buddy Ryan Tedder. Check out this exclusive shot of the OneRepublic-an tickling the ivories as part of his cameo role in the vid.
Tamar Kaprelian Comes Marching In With ‘Sinner Or A Saint’
Fri May 7 2010 by Idolator Staff
While we discover most of our favorite new songs on the Interwebz, we do still find that a song will stick in our head if it's used at just the right moment in a TV show. And that's exactly what happened last year when we heard Tamar Kaprelian's "New Day" on MTV's The Hills as the show bid a final farewell to its big star, Lauren Conrad.
Now we know where Tamar learned to create such honest-but-catchy choruses — she was weaned on the classic, anthemic pop of Paul McCartney, Billy Joel and The Sound Of Music. Since then, she's been honing her songwriting and paying her dues (she wrote "New Day" partly about overcoming setbacks in both life and the music biz, she says). We're thrilled to be able to unveil the cover of her debut album, Sinner Or A Saint, and to introduce a talent you need to know. More »

OneRepublic Have “All The Right Moves” On The ‘Today Show’
Fri Apr 9 2010 by Becky Bain
Humoring the often incoherent ramblings of Kathy Lee Gifford on the Today Show is a difficult task that early in the morning, but Ryan Tedder managed to make it through a conversation with the host without either bursting out laughing or just giving up midway through. You're a better man than us, Ryan.
Tedder and OneRepublic performed their single "All The Right Moves," which is slowly creeping its way up the Hot 100 (it's currently holding steady at #18). Check out their early morning performance below. More »

The Idolator Interview: Ryan Tedder
Tue Dec 8 2009 by Robbie Daw
It’s been one hell of a year for Ryan Tedder. In addition to his band OneRepublic releasing sophomore album Waking Up last month, the singer-songwriter is also reveling in the fact that “Halo,” which he co-wrote with Beyonce (as well as co-produced), has been nominated for a Record Of The Year Grammy. Additionally, Beyonce’s full LP containing “Halo,” I Am… Sasha Fierce, is also up for Album Of The Year.
But with “Halo” came controversy after Kelly Clarkson basically accused him of using the same melody for her own Ryan Tedder song, “Already Gone.” And then in the fall, while tackling a break-neck pace of work that saw him crafting music with everyone from Adam Lambert and Natasha Bedingfield to Adele and Leona Lewis, Tedder says he came down with H1N1: “It nearly killed me. I was sick for three weeks.”
But, hey, why not add more work to the schedule—Tedder also says he’s been asked to contribute material to a forthcoming episode of Glee that’s set to contain original music for a change.
Hop below the jump to read our interview with possibly the busiest man in music at the moment, OneRepublic frontman and 2010 Grammy nominee Ryan Tedder. More »
