PopWatch Confessional TV Jukebox edition: What songs do you wish you'd heard on TV this year?

5 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

As I wrap up another season full of moving, sassy, romantic, and knee-slappingly funny music moments at TV Jukebox, I’ve been excited to single out some amazing tunes by new-to-me acts: Brooklyn’s sultry-spooky duo Ms Mr, soulful piano balladeer Sara Jackson-Holman, L.A. poppers Milo Greene, and singer-songwriter Adam Agin, to name a few. That said, I realized after taking stock of the nearly 300 songs I name-checked this past season that there were a few surprising omissions.

Perhaps these songs were too big or (more likely) expensive for their own good. Then again, that didn’t stop »

Kellie Pickler on Flawless DWTS Freestyle: 'I Let All of My Walls Down'

21 May 2013 6:25 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »

It wasn't just teary-eyed viewers who were left speechless after Kellie Pickler's flawless, dramatic freestyle performance with Derek Hough on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars finals. The country starlet herself was also at a loss for words. "I just feel like I let all of my walls down and I just got out there and just did my little dance," Pickler, 26, told People backstage after her performance. "I just let myself go. There was a freedom, in a sense, that I felt. I really don't even know how to put it into words. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, »

American Idol Season 12 Finale Recap: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Finalists [Updated]

16 May 2013 7:10 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

“Either way, we’re gonna celebrate tonight.”

With six simple words, Kree Harrison summed up what most American Idol fans have been feeling for the last fortnight. I mean, seriously, once we got down to what Loleatta Holloway once referred to as “the reeeeeallll nitty gritty” of the competition — by which I mean a righteous Top 3 of  Candice Glover, Kree and third-place finisher Angie Miller — how could you really be too upset about where the chips ended up falling?

Oh sure, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe stacked the Top 20 deck with powerhouse ladies and guys with questionable voter appeal in his »

Jay-z "totally nailed" 'The Great Gatsby', says Baz Luhrmann

10 May 2013 9:17 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Baz Luhrmann has praised Jay-z for taking on the role as executive producer of the soundtrack for The Great Gatsby.

Emeli Sandé, Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, Jack White and Florence Welch are among the artists who have contributed vocals for the film.

"Jay-z and Swizz Beatz were two of the first people to see a rough cut of the film," Luhrmann told MTV News.

"Jay watched it, and he was fantastic. He and Swizz were talking. I'm like, 'What are they talking about?' And at the end, [Jay-z] said, 'This story is not about how Jay Gatsby made his money; it's is he a good person or not?'"

He continued: "He totally nailed that the book was aspirational. That the book was really about, if you've got a cause, you can move towards a green light. That you don't reach it isn't the point; that you aspire is."

'Dancing With the Stars': Week 8 elimination?

7 May 2013 7:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Spoiler ahead! After a results show featuring performances by Emeli Sandé and Jason Derulo — plus Derek Hough dancing on the freakin’ ceiling! — the seventh couple of season 16 has been booted from the ballroom. Week 8′s eliminated dancers are….

Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd

Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff were “not necessarily in the bottom two” with Sean and Peta. Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough were also “in jeopardy.” So pretty much that means nothing. We only know who’s out.

Did the right couple go?

Stay tuned for my recap later on. Here it is!

American Idol Recap: Amber Alert

3 May 2013 8:41 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Tonight, Ryan solemnly tells us, the stakes are incredibly high, as the lowest vote-getter won’t get the Hometown Hero Visit. Our fourth-place finisher will of course be going home, but she’ll be shunned and vilified by their communities, as tradition dictates. And honestly, it could go any of four different ways tonight; each finalist has her own unique brand, each one gives a clear impression of what kind of artist she wants to be — it’s a toss-up. A toss-up that is branded and product-placed up to its eyeballs. The show opens with the gals doing their own version of Emeli Sandé’s own version of what Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” would sound like if it came out in the twenties, because The Great Gatsby is coming out in a week and we’re just going to have to cope with this nonsense for a little while. »

'Gatsby' Releases 'Crazy In Love' Cover

30 April 2013 10:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Emeli Sandé's cover of Beyonce's hit song "Crazy in Love" has made its debut. The UK popstar recorded the track with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra for the upcoming "Great Gatsby" soundtrack.

Originally released in 2003 as a single off of Beyonce's debut solo album, "Dangerously in Love," "Crazy in Love" was covered by the 26-year-old Sandé. The song begins with the orchestra playing the chorus that Bey sang in the original track, leading into Sandé's rendition of Beyonce's lyrics -- take a listen above.

Born Adele Emeli Sandé Gouraguine, the singer is a major force in the UK, nabbing the Brit Awards for Best Female Solo Artist and British Album of the Year earlier this year. She has recently made moves towards the U.S. charts, hitting cities across the country this summer as a part of a U.S. tour.

Emeli Sandé urges new talent to avoid 'The X Factor'

24 April 2013 2:33 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

Emeli Sandé has urged new talent to avoid entering The X Factor.

The singer insisted that the talent competition isn't the ideal way to enter the music industry, as it limits people's opportunities to write their own material and be creative.

"I find it quite depressing. I find it sad that four people are judging these people and really knocking their confidence," Sandé is quoted by the Daily Star as saying.

"I don't think I would have considered appearing on The X Factor. I would have been able to sing but I don't like the fact that nobody creates on the show. Writing needs to be encouraged."

She added: "Finding an entry into the business isn't easy so I understand why people do it. You can tell when people want to be musicians or want to be famous.

"The kids who need music in their lives should just focus on their craft. »

Emeli Sandé Does a Jazzy Cover of ‘Crazy in Love’ on The Great Gatsby Soundtrack

16 April 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

As more and more track snippets are (purposefully!) leaked, it's becoming more and more apparent that the soundtrack to this summer's The Great Gatsby might be better than the film itself. The latest reveal is 12 of the 21 total tracks, leaving off Jay-z's "100$ Bill" and Beyoncé and André 3000's version of "Back to Black." Many of these songs have been hinted at throughout the film's various trailers, while Fergie's "A Little Party Never Hurt Nobody" is already out in full. Most promising? Lana Del Rey's very Lana Del Rey–ish "Young and Beautiful," the xx's haunting "Together," and an intriguing cover of Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" by Emeli Sandé and the Bryan Ferry Orchestra. A cover of Beyoncé on an album where Beyoncé also does a cover of Amy Winehouse? Oh no you didn't, Jay.If you want to skip to the specific tracks: 1) "Bang Bang," will. »
