Summer Music Festival Preview
10 April 2013 10:31 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Nashville, Tenn. -- Coachella and Lollapalooza are sold out. Bonnaroo's nearly there, too. But eager fans need only be patient: Wait a few years and chances are you'll have a star-studded music festival of your own within driving distance.
New music festivals are popping up more quickly than you can count in the U.S. As the summer festival season gets under way this week with the sprawling Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival down in the desert in Indio, Calif., some of the most successful promoters in the scene are looking ahead to next year and beyond when they'll launch new ventures in untapped markets.
"I do think that there's really plenty of opportunities for people to create some great festival experiences," said Ashley Capps, a co-founder of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. "In fact, I think in many ways the audience in America is just »

"American Idol" Sudden Death Recap: The Twilight Zoanette
28 February 2013 5:52 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Ten dames stepped up to the mic on Wednesday night. Nine of them sang. One of them exploded.
And was rewarded for it.
And... I'm fine with it? Let this be a lesson to everyone: If you are a fine singer who gets an opportunity to wow the nation on American Idol, but you choose the lite-fm nonchalance of Alicia Keys' "No One," maybe you deserve to finish between 20th and 40th place. Maybe I think that's justified, Cristabel Clacky. And maybe if you're a howling claymation clown sorceress named Zoanette Johnson who sets the bar for unthinkable camp monstrosities with a performance of (wait for it) "The Circle of Life," maybe you really do earn your place in the Top 20 -- even if you can't sing, control yourself, or really do anything except blubber and wail like a watercolor-drenched Pagliacci. Maybe.
Actually, I'm not sure. Zoanette Johnson was »

'American Idol' Top 20 women: Zoanette Johnson over Jett Hermano, what is happening?
27 February 2013 7:10 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
It's time for the second half of the "American Idol" Top 20 women. Last week, there were a handful of killer performances -- can this week live up?
Once again, we've previously seen about half of the women performing. It's a good thing the public isn't voting yet, half of them wouldn't stand a chance.
1. Melinda Ademi, "Nobody's Perfect," Jessie J
This is the same song Angela Miller did last week, but it's barely recognizable this go-round. The verse is way too low, her voice is inaudible in parts and muddy when you can hear it. Not a great key for her. The chorus gets better, but this still isn't showing off her voice at all and it's all very lackluster.
Keith Urban is strangely complimentary. We found that to be a pretty big dud. Nicki points out how it's hard not to compare her to Angela from last week, which is true. »

American Idol Recap: It Moves Us All, Through Despair and Hope [Updated]
27 February 2013 7:06 PM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Cue your local locust swarm and saddle up the proverbial four horses, American Idol fans: The end times are definitely nigh!
How else to explain Zoanette Johnson being named by the show’s rebooted judges’ panel as one of the 10 most promising unsigned female singers in the country? Yes, Zoanette Johnson, the same chick whose tattered, Season 12 audition cover of “The Star Spangled Banner” caused Keith Urban to literally fall out of his chair — and was punctuated by an alarming booty drop.
Honestly, is it time to put down the remote control and pick up the Book of Revelations? Or »

If you’re looking for new music to latch onto, perhaps the indie rock band Falling Still is the band for you. The Los Angeles based band, consisting of Eric Podnar (vocals / guitar), Brett Hamilton (bass / vocals) and Jeremy Cull (drums), is set to release their self-titled Ep on Feb. 26. “Falling Still” includes six anthems that are full of grit and heart. If you’re already a fan of their previous releases, you’ll be excited to know that the upcoming Ep channels the energy from those releases and intensifies it, thanks to band’s producer and engineer Michael Parnin (Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Rage Against The Machine), who also [ Read More ]

'American Idol' Recap: And Then There Were 40
15 February 2013 6:15 AM, PST | Rollingstone.com | See recent Rolling Stone news »
It was the final day of Hollywood Week and there were 47 women angling for a spot in the top 20. In order to move from Hollywood to Las Vegas, the women had to sing for their lives (or at least for that part of their lives they wanted to spend on reality television). Contestants were given the choice of singing a song from a list of Idol-approved numbers or performing a royalty-free original song. Opting for the latter was 18-year-old Angela Miller, who easily earned herself a spot in the »
‘American Idol’ Recap: Hollywood Week Finally Comes To An End
14 February 2013 7:00 PM, PST | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Hollywood week continued, giving us all the highs and lows we’ve come to expect this season of ‘American Idol’. But you might be surprised to learn which singers were sent home!
Now that Hollywood week has (finally) come to an end, will we be seeing the first signs of a potential female winner on American Idol after a six year absence? The way they’re framing the season so far, it looks like they’re hoping for that to happen!
As the Feb. 14 episode began, we were greeted with a video reminding us that a girl hasn’t won the show in six years. Even though Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban basically forced down our throats that this has been the best set of girls ever on the show, I’d like to see what they’d say if Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood walked in the room!
Now to the performances… »

American Idol Recap: This Is 40 [Updated]
14 February 2013 6:07 PM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Thirty-nine talented young singers stand on the precipice of superstardom. And so does one kinda crazy chick who has only one drum stick (musical, not chicken) as well as the potential to turn American Idol bandleader Ray Chew’s job into the kind of situation that might pique renewed interest in a revival of Discovery Channel’s recently departed Dirty Jobs.
Yes indeed, tonight’s final installment of Season 12 Hollywood Week put the women through their final paces, narrowed their numbers to a lean 20, and — if the “we need a girl to win this year, Please!” intro is to be »

American Idol Review: Top 20 Girls Revealed!
14 February 2013 6:05 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The end of American Idol's 12th Hollywood Week is upon us, as the girls battle it out during solo rounds. At the end of the day, 20 will be left standing to join this season's top male contestants.
Let's find out who will be moving on to Las Vegas, shall we?
Each female singer will have the option of choosing a song from the Idol song list or singing an original number for her solo audition. This is a new twist for this stage of the competition, one which doesn't seem to have been offered to the guys last week.
Angela Miller chooses option two and decides to sing an original song for the judges. She plays piano with Idol musicians backing her and it gives me chills it's so good. Angela just set the bar so incredibly high it's going to be hard for the other girls to compete with her. »

American Idol Recap: Who Run the World? Girls!
13 February 2013 7:12 PM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
American Idol wants a female winner worse than Simon Cowell wants you to believe in the steroid-induced relevance of The X Factor: USA. It wants a female winner more desperately than Randy Jackson needs to repeat his fifth-grade vocabulary lessons. It wants a Kelly Clarkson-Fantasia Barrino-Carrie Underwood-Jordin Sparks “I Believe This Is My Moment in Heaven” moment with the burning intensity of Jennifer Lopez’s jealousy listening to the dulcet tones of Haley Reinhart. (File that last memory under: #YouAndI #NeverForget.)
Ryan Seacrest wasn’t bashful about pushing this agenda, either. “It’s »

American Idol: Early Favorites Eliminated in Hollywood
7 February 2013 7:30 PM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
At the beginning of Thursday's American Idol, there were 43 men left in the competition. The next hour was a bloodbath, with many tears and a few tantrums - as well as some standout performances. Curtis Finch Jr., for example, performed a version of Christina Perri's "Jar Of Hearts" that was arguably the strongest of the evening. It may be the season's most overdone song, yet Finch successfully infused it with a rising gospel vibe. Like every reality show, the contestants learned valuable life lessons as they fought to stay in the game. Here are five: 1. Never Let Them See »

Live @ Cmt: Grace Potter - "Stars"
4 January 2013 12:00 PM, PST | Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news »
Grace Potter had a whirlwind of a year in 2012. Known for her high-energy performances with the Nocturnals, their non-stop touring schedule and acclaimed release The Lion The Beast The Beat has catapulted Potter and the Nocs into genre-crossing fame. When the tour stopped in Nashville, Tenn. for a two-night run of sold-out shows at the Ryman Auditorium, Potter took time out to stop in the Cmt studios for an unplugged performance. The performance is available on Cmt.com, but for her standout track “Stars,” Potter performed two takes. You can catch the acoustic guitar version exclusively in the player below. »
