Glee-Full Emmy Opening
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Specials, NBC, Video,
Despite Jimmy Fallon’s truly horrible singing (he’s no Neil Patrick Harris), the opening number of the 62nd Primetime Emmy awards was a huge success. Thanks, Jane Lynch.
Lynch and several of her Glee co-stars, including Emmy nominees Lea Michele and Chris Colfer, helped start the Emmy Awards off right with a funny, tuneful Bruce Springsteen tribute that YouTube won’t soon forget. Watch the video above to see it for yourself!

American Idol Denies Use of Auto-Tune Technology
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
“We have never, nor would we ever, use Auto-Tuning during the American Idol competition.”
That statement from Idol producers was prompted by the unfolding Auto-Tune X Factor scandal, which is taking on gargantuan proportions in the British press.
Auto-Tune is a pitch-altering technology used to make singers sound perfectly in tune. Auto-Tune has been used by many famous performers during live concerts and recording sessions, and it has also been used by British reality singing competition The X Factor. Producers of the show admitted as much in recent statements, though they have denied using the technology during live events.

In one of the funniest Web Redemptions ever, Daniel Tosh of Comedy Central fame flew three young American Idol fans to LA to meet David Archuleta. Of course, it wouldn’t be Tosh.0 without making the girls jump through a number of hoops before meeting their American Idol.
