Leave a “Light On” for DC!

The long awaited après Idol single from David Cook debuted on iTunes today. As a die hard Cookie fan, I really wanted to luv this song. (My Kid says it’s very Daughtry-ish which is a compliment, cuz she and I both still adore that North Carolina guy!)

“Light On” is okay, but I do not think it is as good as the songs on DC’s real first album Analog Heart. As a matter of fact, the more I hear this new song from Rocker Dave, the more I wanna hear his pre-AI stuff.

Oh well… he’s still pretty, and his voice is amazing especially the deep husky parts. *SIGH* You can hear the single on his official web site.

In more DC news, the album debuts on November 18th. Just in time for Thanksgiving. :-)

Fans Have a “Crush” On Archie

Little David Archuleta’s first single called "Crush" was released to iTunes today. Already climbing the charts! Go Archie!! The video is very nicely done and he is as adorable as ever.

In more Archie news, he will be appearing on the tweener show iCarly. Dunno what this show is, but My Kid says it’s awesome.

The 4th Horseman … er … Judge

Remember a couple of seasons ago, when American Idol had a couple of female “guest” judges for just a few episodes? What I recall most is the tension that seemed to be at the table, especially the uncomfortable vibes coming via Abdul Way.

Well, fans - get ready for more of that friction because for season 8 there is a brand new female judge who is in for the long haul.

Her name is Kara DioGuardi, she is a songwriter from New York, and the www is abuzz about her first day on the job and her career so far. She is described as being outspoken yet compassionate, two good qualities to have in an AI judge. (Hopefully she is coherent as well, and has more than three descriptives phrases.)

Show of hands if anyone is sensing an All About Eve moment? Or a Pauley/Norville déjà vu? Anyone? (Bueller?)

Perhaps it is not really a sign of the apocalypse but it certainly is a show-altering change. I personally can not wait for the show to start again, no matter how many new judges they add...
