Ayla Brown is getting set to release her new live album, Ayla Brown Live!, this Tuesday, November 10. Ayla's been a guest on our radio show and is a good friend of the site, so we want to make sure everyone knows about the upcoming album and its release on iTunes and other digital retailers. Ayla's voice sounds great on the live tracks, and the brand new track "Come Together" is extremely catchy, so you should definitely pick up the album. You can also stream the album live on Ayla's Facebook and iLike pages starting on Monday. Help support an artist who's selling albums on her own and who actually sounds great singing live. It's a no-lose situation.
The always hilarious Alex Wagner-Trugman will be our guest on VFTW Radio for the first half of the show this coming Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Listen in to hear about Alex's time on Idol and find out what he's up to now. Alex is an incredibly entertaining guy, so we're sure this is going to be an oustanding show you don't want to miss.
On 11/11, there are 3 ways to listen live:
So tune in and enjoy, and make sure to follow Alex on Twitter.
Popeater premiered Kris's first video today. It's not bad, but what's the point in having a clock counting down if the numbers constantly jump around and nothing happens when it hits zero? Kind of anticlimactic, don't you think?
Oh God, Danny Gokey has a single. It's terrible as you'd think it would be, trying to be inspirational but sounding corny as all hell.
Is Syesha super short or is Wendy super tall? At least Wendy didn't pull out a slim jim and start lighting it on fire. Where's Joel McHale when you need him?
As if the #50 debut last week wasn't embarrassing enough, Adam Lambert's "Time for Miracles" has completely fallen off of the Billboard Hot 100 after 1 week. That's right, people hate the song so much, it just completely disappeared. Just goes to show the low #50 debut was completely due to Sparkle Cow purchases, as no one else buys Adam's music. Hate to say we told you so, but...
That fast, huh? According to Star Magazine, Adam Lambert has moved on from Drake LaBry in a matter of minutes and has found himself a new man: singer/songwriter Ferras Alqaisi. You may remember Ferras because he sang that stupid song "Hollywood's Not America" that was featured in the Hollywood rounds of American Idol a few years back. Now, we're just waiting for the tell-all from Drake about what a loser Adam is. Come on, Drake. Open up to any media outlet you choose and spill.
Each week, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten. These are the songs that people just can't seem to believe exist, because they're just so terrible. There is a good mixture of guilty pleasures (the awfully funny) and complete crapfests (the awful with no merit). At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the worst song of the decade.
2003 was a year for songs that were so bad, they're good. So many guilty pleasures came out of this year, as people apparently were trying to be terrible to sell records. It worked! Here's a recap of the songs that made 2003 a terrible year for music.
10. Amanda Perez - Angel
Some people get record deals because they sing well. Some get record deals because they're attractive. Some get record deals based on buzz. Then there's Amanda Perez, who has none of the above. How she became famous, and how this horribly written and horribly sung song became such a hit on the radio is a mystery. Showing how one note she is, Amanda released a second single called "I Pray" which sounds almost identical to "Angel". Thankfully, Amanda never repeated the success of her first song.
