Jedward is SAFE After Queen Week!
John and Edward's Performance of Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby
Another great effort from Jedward. Ice Ice Baby is just too ridiculously awesome to ignore. Simon finally went to Jedward Land and appreciated it, so everyone else should appreciate it too. So if you're in England right now, stop reading this site, and go vote! Right now!
Is Adam Lambert's Label Already Ditching "For Your Entertainment"?
We're not sure exactly what it means, but Adam Lambert's official site is touting "Adam's new single For Your Entertainment" and then "Adam's new single Whataya Want From Me". Have they already given up on "For Your Entertainment"? The irony is "Whataya Want From Me" is a much worse song, and the lyrics include "don't give up on me, I won't let you down." Too late. You can listen to the song above to judge. It's clearly a reject from Pink's last album.
John and Edward Will Perform "Ice Ice Baby" on Tonight's X Factor
Seriously. We love Louis Walsh! Jedward will be performing a mashup of "Ice Ice Baby" and "Under Pressure" for Queen Week tonight. It just keeps getting better. Make sure you tune in tonight and vote for Jedward if you live in the UK. And if you don't, call all of your friends who do live there, and let them know that VFTW supports Jedward and needs their help to keep them in. By the way, here's a funny picture from the Belfast Telegraph:
Kris Allen Performs "Live Like We're Dying" on Conan O'Brien Last Night
His voice is sounding very tired, he probably needs a good rest. Definitely not the best he's done. Funniest part of the video: When Conan comes out and makes Kris look even shorter than he is.
Sting Calls X-Factor "Televised Karaoke"
Sting told BBC News that UK's X Factor, a British Idol show, is just "televised karaoke." Preach it, brother! But he didn't just stop there. He also said that the show is a "soap opera which has nothing to do with music", "they are either Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, or Boyzone and are not ecouraged to create any real signature or fingerprint", and "none of those kids are going to go anywhere, and I say that sadly." Oh snap! But he also reserved his harshest criticism for the judges: "you have judges who have no recognizable talent apart from self-promotion... it is appaling." Sting must be a Worster.
Adam Lambert's Single "For Your Entertainment" Fails To Chart in Its First Week
Wow, that's even worse than we expected. After "Time for Miracles" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #50 and then disappeared the week after, we expected a similar fate for his new single "For Your Entertainment". However, "For Your Entertainment" failed to even debut on the Hot 100 at all because it's so bad. It's currently on the Bubbling Under chart (for songs that aren't good enough to be in the top 100) at #107. Wow, that's pretty sad that his official single can't even top a bad movie song. Not even the rabid Sparkle Cows and their multiple iTunes accounts could help Adam debut in the top 100 songs of the week? It's not that hard to do. For comparison purposes, Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" debuted by selling 132,000 copies. Adam sold only 18,000. Where are all of the fans who voted for him on Idol? Did they finally realize he has no talent?
Chinese Idol Contestant is a Victim of Racism
Lou Jing, a contestant on a Chinese American Idol-like show called Let's Go! Oriental Angel, has been the victim of a storm of attacks after participating on the show according to The Age. It's not because she was a bad singer or because she did anything wrong, it's just because she's half Black. Lou Jing, who is half Chinese and half Black, was the victim of a large amount of racist attacks online and in the media when she appeared on the talent show. Lou Jing was part of the top 30 contestants, but was eliminated shortly after. It's kind of heartbreaking to read her quotes in the article about how she doesn't consider herself attractive anymore. See, Idol-like shows are ruining the world. It's now proven.
Hooray! John and Edward live to sing another day on UK's X Factor. Jamie's out. Simon didn't look too pleased. But of course, we're excited as all hell. You can't stop the Jedward train, it's on its way to the win!
