I’m usually not a fan of remastered or reissued albums. Give me the bumps, hiss and feedback. However, after hearing about Pearl Jam’s reissuing of Ten, their 1991 debut, I may have to reconsider:
The standard edition sounds like you...

David Cook. Finally, an end has come to this season's American Idol. It was a battle between two Davids: Archuleta and Cook.
After their last performances of Tuesday, it seemed that if the voters followed Simon's advice, Archuleta would be our idol right now. Cowell praised Achuleta on his brilliant song choice. He also, however, stated that he didn't care who won. He felt that both of the contestants were equally deserving of the title. It seems that some users of Youtube agree. I was watching a Youtube video of David Cook's performance of "Billie Jean", and a lot of the...

And we are now down to the last two contestants. Continuing on from my previous article, it looks like the hypothesis that the boys would be the last ones standing was correct. Whether or not that had to do with Syesha's performance or gender, one will never know, however, we do have a good set of finalists ready to go!

The drama continues.
I will admit that I have not been watching American Idol all too closely this year, but these past few weeks have proven to be interesting.
With Brooke White gone, the season is now down to three guys and one girl. Many people believe that this is because the majority of American Idol viewers are girls/women. That being said, the girls vote for the guys! Of course, it didn't help that Brooke sang a pretty bad version of "I'm A Believer" in the first round, but still, the guys definitely seem to have an "ups" in this competition. Syesha's...
Is Daughtry the Next Bon Jovi?
April 25th, 2008 Posted by LJ Dovichi
Ignoring hair -- Jon Bon Jovi has always had great hair and Chris Daughtry goes with a chrome-dome do -- there are a lot of similarities between these bands. Both bands have a charismatic lead singer with a great voice. In the case of Daughtry, his voice is stronger and richer than Bon Jovi's, but then again, he's also at least twenty years younger.
Both bands are named for their charismatic singers. In the case of Bon Jovi, there is more to the band than just Jon. But in 1983, when Bon Jovi hit the charts, it might not have...
