Lotsa buzz over new singer Duffy. She seems a bit TOO Amy Winehouse'esqe so I don't hold high hopes for her to take over radio and have massive sales. But expect critics to line-up. Adele, another UK newcomer will be release here this summer. Already a London hit, her "Chasing Pavement" single is really remarkable. A great old school sound in a new way. The horns on the chorus remind me of the wonderful, under-appreciated James Morrison song, "You Give Me Something." That song not being a US hit made me officially declare that radio is deaf.
I like Ruben Studdard's "Celebrate Me Home" single. Cheesily used on Idol, the Kenny Loggins classic has always been a favorite. Get it at iTunes.
Over the Overmeyer: I think her demeanor killed her. She seemed so unlikable and it seems this show was getting in the way of her rockdom. Ya know? Did you see how the bottom 3 girls were embraced but Mandy O was stiff and not touching the Carly or KL Cook. Cold. We all know the Cook shoulda gone and while Mandy was good TV, she wouldn't have lasted another week or two. As for that PAINFUL Beatles medley?! It was, well, painful. A big wish: don't do Beatles at all next season. That's wishful thinking though. I guarantee it'll happen again.
MAMMA MIA! Check out the new movie trailer. It looks pretty cheesy, more so than the stage play. See, on the stage you can play big with extra cheese. On the screen however? I'm sure I'll personally love it, but I'm concerned. And I still feel the fab Meryl is a bit to mature by 10 years for the role. (Pictured)
Dancing: Brava to Pricilla Presley! She was wonderful, as was Marlee Matlin. Still this show, at 2 hours, is a bit too much for me in the beginning but entertaining nonetheless.

Honestly, Jerry! You're gonna get all Tim Gunn on MAMA MIA? It's ABBA songs of the 70's...it can't be anything but cheesy! ...and that's how we'll love it.
Hot tranny mess!
