If you were shocked to see Bret Michaels back up and performing on the American Idol finale, you weren’t the only one. According to the Poison frontman, his physicians were also kept out of the loop.
“The doctors, I didn’t tell them I was going to do this,” Michaels admitted to Us Weekly. “I never told them I was coming here. They’re going to find out in a few minutes!”

VIDEO: Reba McEntire Sings Beyonce’s ‘If I Were a Boy’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos, Country, Covers, R&B / Soul,
Listen up, American Idol wannabes. This is exactly how you “make a song your own.”
While covers of Beyonce songs aren’t an entirely new thing these days (you may/may not want to listen to Liza Minnelli’s version of “Single Ladies” here), good interpretations are still a joy to hear.
Never thought “If I Were a Boy” could be turned into a country hit? Well, then Reba McEntire - with this performance for CMT’s Unplugged - is about to prove you wrong.

Christina Aguilera Concert Tour Postponed
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Music Videos, Pop,
Christina Aguilera said she’s been doing things that she “normally won’t do” - and this might apply.
Although the singer was set to begin a 20-city tour on July 15, Aguilera has decided to postpone those stops until sometime next year.
While most have been blamed lukewarm response to her single “Not Myself Tonight” for the delay (the song currently stands at #89 on the iTunes chart), Live Nation claims the singer is simply too busy.
“[Aguilera] felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour date, this wasn’t possible,” the concert promoter said in a statement.

VIDEO: 13-Year-Old Boy Wows Audience with Lady Gaga Cover
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos,
UPDATE: Watch Greyson sing on Ellen - and talk to Lady Gaga - here.
If American Idol were ever to accept singers as young as 13 years old, Greyson Michael Chance would have an excellent chance of winning.
Thanks to this his amazing rendition of “Paparazzi” at a school festival, the sixth grader has already earned himself a number of female admirers. (He has also won over an additional 7,400+ Facebook fans.)
“I am very inspired by Lady Gaga and Augustana,” Chance writes on his YouTube profile. “Lady Gaga is a freak but she has so much talent and her style of music is what I would like mine to be when im older. Augustana is one of the most underated bands I think ever to step the planet. They have so much talent it is not funny. They have such a good concept with folk and rock. It is very sad that they are so unknown.”

VIDEO: Whitney Houston Gives Another Shaky Performance

(NOTE: Don’t try watching the video, just close your eyes and listen.)
Fans walked out of Whitney Houston‘s concert at London’s O2 arena last night because of her poor performance.
The singer’s Nothing But Love tour has been beset with problems since she came to Europe, and last night she admitted her voice wasn’t in the best condition as she failed to hit high notes and abandoned her song “The Greatest Love of All” halfway through.
After a shaky rendition of her most famous song “I Will Always Love You,” Whitney said of her voice: “She don’t want to come, my soprano friend. Sometimes the old girl sings, but not tonight. I want to do it, but she doesn’t want to. She’s getting a little - temperamental, even.”

What are you missing if you don’t have a ticket to Conan O’Brien’s road tour? Well, in addition to appearances from Andy Richter, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Coco himself, possibly some great musical numbers.
On Sunday (Conan O’Brien’s birthday), surprise guest Dave Matthews - with help from some audience members in Seattle - sang “Happy Birthday” to the late-night host before leading into a performance of “Bartender.”
The next day, Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready from Pearl Jam both visited the show and rocked the house with a cover of The Who’s “Baba O’Riley.” (You can see that performance after the jump.)

Ke$ha’s Horrible SNL Performance
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Performances, Videos, Pop,
Unless you were saved by the Tivo gods, you probably got stuck watching Ke$ha’s utterly horrendous SNL performance this past Saturday night. Her off-key warbling went on for an interminable four minutes, and the song itself is pretty horrible on its own merit (tell me, what does it mean, exactly, to “wake up feelin’ like P. Diddy,” and how do you know?).
Nonsensical lyrics, absolutely confusing costuming and out-of-sync choreography would have easily sunk Ke$ha’s ship even if she hadn’t opened her mouth to sing…which, unfortunately, she did. To her credit, I’m pretty sure she didn’t lip-sync the performance (something a few notable SNL musical guests have been ripped apart for doing), but in Ke$ha’s case that might have been the better route to take.

You can call Ke$ha‘s recent performance of “Your Love is My Drug” trippy, creative, colorful or strange—but whatever you do, don’t call it original.
After watching the singer’s appearance from last weekend’s Saturday Night Live, make sure you check out the two clips after the jump.
