VIDEO: Lady Gaga Performs Brand New Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Pop,
UPDATE: Lady Gaga said in a tweet that the song was “written in NY on the piano” she grew up on.
It wouldn’t be an authentic Lady Gaga performance if the singer didn’t do something to keep the audience on their toes.
During the recent 12th Annual White Tie & Tiara Ball, Gaga chose to introduce a song no one had ever heard before. The record, titled “You and I,” was perfectly suited for an event benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. (Couldn’t you just imagine those two artists playing it together at their own pianos?)
Although Gaga said she didn’t think the “rock ‘n’ roll tune” would ever be released as a single, I actually think it could do quite well. What do you think?

Christina Aguilera: Autotune is Okay with Me
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Videos, Pop,
I’m sure at one point, Cher never imagined she would ever use something like Auto-Tune on her vocals - but then she scored a huge hit with 1998’s “Believe.” So should we be so shocked to hear that her Burlesque co-star, Christina Aguilera, is open to implementing the technology as well?
Although Christina clearly has no problem performing vocal gymnastics when she sings, the Grammy winner admits she’s not a total purist anymore.
In this interview with Sirius FM Satellite Radio, Aguilera - who used the tool on her new album for songs like “Elastic Love” - says she “doesn’t get annoyed with the Auto-Tune thing, but only if it’s used in a creative way.”
So what do you think about Auto-Tune? Is there really a “creative way” to use it?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Videos,
Poor ticket sales are forcing season 9’s American Idols into smaller venues. Host Ryan Seacrest is even to promote special deals on his Twitter account, personally schlepping tickets to his 3 million-plus followers.
And we think we know why. If you listen to the terrible, terrible rehearsal performance of Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” in the video above, you might, too.
If you want to remember more tuneful, happier times, you can read all our American Idol 9 posts over on TV Envy.
