Casey Abrams Saved On ‘American Idol’

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Stefano Langone, Thia Megia join seeming front-runner in bottom three. By Gil Kaufman Casey Abrams Photo: FOX The thing about being a front-runner on “American Idol” is you never know when America’s voters are going to turn on you. Unlikely bearded sex symbol Casey Abrams learned that lesson the hard way on Thursday night (March 24) when he made a surprise visit to the bottom three. Actually, he was not only in the bottom three, he was the lowest vote-getter and, in the biggest surprise so far of the season, he had to sing for his supper to keep from being eliminated in one of the most chaotic finishes to an “Idol” results show in history. He ended up being bailed out by this season’s one and only judges’ save, but the scare was hopefully enough to teach all the remaining top 10 that nobody is immune this season. In fact, after two weeks of all-female bottom threes, on Thursday night’s show, not only did a male contestant almost go home, but the two bottom vote-getters were both boys, reversing the gender tide that had been building. In the end, it was Abrams on the chopping block. He began singing “I Don’t Need No Doctor,” the song that got him on the show in the audition round, but he had barely begun when Randy Jackson cut him off and asked for the musicians to stop. The tension filled the air as a confused Abrams looked around to see what he might have done wrong to anger the judges. “We were wondering when we heard the results, ‘Why is Casey at the bottom?’ We don’t know. You deserve to be here,” Jennifer Lopez explained, telling Abrams that when the judges heard the results, they knew immediately that they would pull the ripcord on the save. Casey, who has already taken two trips to the hospital to deal with a stomach ailment tied to stress, looked like he was going to be sick and was clearly overcome with confusion over the decision. “Are you kidding?” he said, visibly shaking as he went and embraced the judges, repeating the words, “I can’t believe it!” He fell to his knees as host Ryan Seacrest embraced him then raced out to hug his mother as the rest of the contestants welled up with tears at the emotional moment. “I thought that they … I knew if there was someone that got cut tonight … I thought they wouldn’t use the save,” Abrams stammered. “It’s unreal … I started singing and the fact that you cut it … scared the stuff out of me.” Lopez said when the judges heard the results they were confused and they knew they had to act. “We just want you to get back to the musician that you are,” she said. “No more antics … you deserve to be here.” Randy told Casey to cut out the growling and use his formidable skills and not lean on gimmicky tricks, such as his widely derided emo-funk take on Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” last week. What all the drama means is that two people will go home next week, but, as previously decided by producers, for the first time, 11 singers will go out on this summer’s tour. It was a wild cap to a night that never quite went the way many experts had predicted . Lauren Alaina, Pia Toscano and Scotty McCreery were the first trio brought out as Seacrest began building the bottom three early in the show. And, no surprise, all three made it into the top 10. The second group featured James Durbin and Paul McDonald, both of whom seemed like sure bets to make it through as well. And, of course, they were safe, though Durbin nearly had a heart attack when Seacrest called out the wrestling maniac’s hero, Hulk Hogan , to deliver the good news, as well as a smackdown to Seacrest. The third group was bound to feature at least one bottom-three dweller, but it was both Stefano Langone and teen Thia Megia who got the hook and headed to the cellar for the first time. There was more bad news when Abrams, Haley Reinhart and Naima Adedapo stepped up. When Ryan said he was sending someone back to safety, Naima pointed at Casey, assuming he was the one escaping the bottom, but she was shocked to get the pass herself. And then things went way off-track when season-long favorite Abrams was sent to the naughty stools for the first time in the finals after seemingly nailing “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.” the night before. Megia was the first one sent back to safety, and after three weeks in which the judges have shown him endless love, suddenly Abrams did not have as self-satisfied a look on his face and seemed like he was feeling the pressure of potential elimination. It was a roller coaster of a night, all right, one that began with the top 11 wearing contrasting black suits and white sparkly dresses for a group sing-along to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” But instead of the usual bland medley, none other than Motown legend Stevie Wonder came out to serenade them with his funky hit “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” Wonder then called out judge Steven Tyler and serenaded him with “Happy Birthday” on the rocker’s 63rd birthday. The show also featured a performance of the country-pop ditty “Stuck Like Glue” by twangtastic duo Sugarland and a visit from season three “Idol” finalist and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson , who performed the first single from her second album, I Remember Me, the funky, dramatic ballad “Where You At?” What do you think of the judges using their save on Casey?

Ozzy Osbourne Justin Bieber Best Buy Super Bowl Ad

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber is teaming up with an unlikely co-star for his Super Bowl Sunday ad debut: None other than the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne . Though it was only a few months ago when Ozzy admitted that he has absolutely no idea who Justin is, the musicians co-star in Best Buy’s first Super Bowl ad as the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers in next month’s NFL Championship Game. The electronics giant is trying to appeal to both younger and mature consumers and reportedly forked over somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 million to snag the rock great and the beloved pop crooner. “ Justin Bieber is the biggest star out there, but that’s not why he’s in the spot,” Best Buy’s Marketing Chief Drew Panayiotou explained to USA TODAY Wednesday. “He symbolically represents something important to the brand message. Very rarely do you get a big brand looking to evolve into something else. We want to get this brand to a different place.” Details of Ozzy and Justin’s 30-second ad have not been released, but it was filmed earlier this month at Universal Studios in Hollywood and is expected to premiere during the third quarter of the Feb. 6 game. We hear Best Buy has also tapped The Biebs to appear in even more ads and Facebook updates for the retailer throughout the remainder of 2011. Tags: Justin Bieber , Ozzy Osbourne

Prince Keeps It Fresh At Welcome 2 America Show

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

At New York’s Madison Square Garden, the artist dug deep into his vault for two hours of hits. By Jem Aswad Prince (file) Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images NEW YORK — Prince hasn’t had a hit single in more than 15 years and has gone even longer without a legitimate hit album. And at 52 — after all those years of splits, spins and pivots in high heels on hard stages — he can’t dance like he used to. But he can still sing and play guitar, he’s got a band as tightly drilled as the Special Forces, and most of all, he’s got a plush featherbed of hits. And that’s how he’s managed to fill five New York-area arena shows over the course of six weeks on his Welcome 2 America Tour : by promising — and finally delivering — the hits that his fans want. His show at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night was certainly a crowd-pleaser. See, Prince used to mess with his audience’s expectations so flagrantly, it verged on self-sabotage. He followed Purple Rain with the fan-confounding Around the World in a Day. He gave hits like “Nothing Compares 2 U” and “Manic Monday” to other artists. During stadium concerts at the peak of his popularity, he’d play “Little Red Corvette” for 45 seconds and vamp on an unreleased song for eight minutes. Even his hit-driven 2004 tour was way too heavy on unspectacular, then-new songs. Tuesday night’s show had very little of that — although it did start off with him playing annoying snippets of those cherished hits like an obnoxious dude repeatedly hitting fast-forward on a CD. But after that, it was a lush, two-hour-long dive into his golden era. There were mega-hits (“Kiss,” “Take Me With U,” “Raspberry Beret,” “U Got the Look,” “Purple Rain,” “Let’s Go Crazy,” “1999”); mezzanine hits (“Delirious,” “Controversy,” “Let’s Work,” “Anotherloverholenyohead,” “If I Was Your Girlfriend”); falsetto-dripping slow jams crammed together in the second encore (“Insatiable,” “Scandalous” and “Adore,” which are basically the same song); and a few curveballs for the die-hard fans (“She’s Always in My Hair,” plus two songs he wrote for others: Sheila E’s “A Love Bizarre” and the Time’s “Cool”). He didn’t play all of the songs in their entirety, but he played most of a lot of them. There were still a lot he left out: “When Doves Cry,” “Little Red Corvette,” “Diamonds and Pearls” and “When U Were Mine,” to name just a few. He hardly played anything from the past 15 years. And he’s still weird. He played the first half of the show wearing a shirt with his own face on it. He made two references to getting his picture taken even though the ushers individually warned audience members not to take any. He jumped on, lay on and even dry-humped the purple grand piano several times but played it for only about two minutes. He repeatedly held his mic to Maceo Parker’s saxophone, even though it had its own. He was nearly upstaged by a hapless stagehand who spent several minutes crawling around the stage, brushing off (by hand!) the purple confetti that earlier had rained down on the crowd. He brought a girl onstage from the audience and serenaded her tenderly with the bitter “I Love U, But I Don’t Trust U Anymore.” He heaped praise on opening act Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings but hurried them off the stage after they joined him for “A Love Bizarre.” Prince has promised to shuffle the set for every night of the tour, and while that kept things fresh, it did make for some uneven pacing. The band missed a couple of cues (prompting evil glares from their boss), and it’s hard to say if there were three or four encores, as the musicians followed Prince offstage at one point only to come back seconds later. But the energy peaked as the evening drew to a close. He brought a couple dozen audience members — including Jimmy Fallon, ?uestlove, Leighton Meester, Sharon Jones and a few Dap Kings — onstage for “Baby I’m a Star.” (Donald Trump and Madonna were also reportedly in the audience — Prince made an obscure joke about the latter.) And he milked the evening for all it was worth: The last encore saw the band roaring through “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Delirious” and “1999,” and at 10:55, as they were reaching the end of “Peach,” Prince pretended to look at his watch (going past 11 p.m. usually means overtime pay for venue staff at the artist’s expense), and launched into another three or so minutes of soloing. He then threw his Telecaster into the crowd, thanked New York one last time, and left the stage — this time, for good. Have you seen Prince in concert recently?

Bozell Column: Charlie Daniels, Unsung Singing Hero

Posted on September 10, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In recent years I’ve come to know Charlie Daniels personally, enough so that I can say with confidence that this man just isn’t looking for tributes. But for all that Charlie has done for this country and its fighting men and women, he deserves every honor that comes his way. It was some thirty years ago when I first caught a Charlie Daniels concert.  He was the back-up to the Marshall Tucker Band at the old Capital Centre outside Washington DC, and that night, he stole the show. When he finished his blazing set the audience erupted and brought him back for an encore. When the Marshall Tucker Band finished their rather good performance, it made no difference: the capacity crowd roared for yet another performance from Charlie Daniels. It’s a metaphor for his life. At a time when he should, deservedly be disappearing into the shadows, he’s back – with the crowd roaring once again.  Despite recovering from a stroke and nearing his 74th birthday, Charlie still plays about 100 concerts a year, including Sean Hannity’s “Freedom Concerts” to benefit the children of our fallen and disabled U.S. soldiers through Ollie North’s Freedom Alliance. So much has Charlie become ingrained in the “Freedom Concerts” (he performed in all eight shows this year) and in the effort to support our military worldwide that he deserves his own tribute. He is America’s unsung singing hero. It would be nice if patriotism were in style in the music industry. It is so in the country music universe but in other circles there is no quicker way to become a pop culture pariah than following this path. Months after 9/11, ABC anchor Peter Jennings scratched out country singer Toby Keith from an Independence Day special because his songs were deemed too “mean” in their anger at our attackers. NBC put on country singer Steve Earle to sing sympathetically about American Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh and his prayers for martyrdom. The Dixie Chicks publicly declared their embarrassment with President Bush for his declaration of war against terrorism and were hailed by the elites. That’s what one does to earn accolades. In recent years I’ve come to know Charlie Daniels personally, enough so that I can say with confidence that this man just isn’t looking for tributes. One gets the feeling that at his age, having accomplished so much, he just doesn’t need them. He does it because he loves America and wants to honor the military by performing at the “unique and heartwarming” Freedom concerts to entertain crowds full of “hard-working, God-fearing patriotic folks, the salt-of-the-earth middle Americans who have fought our wars, raised good citizens, and kept the wheels of progress moving forward in this nation for over 200 years.”  “Patriotism to me is always in style, but now – especially now – we need a little shot in the arm,” he says.  He remembers that it can take a catastrophe to make people remember their common national bond: “9/11 was definitely a wakeup call to everybody about our country and about how precious it is – about what can happen here and what did happen here. It never happened here before, and it showed we’re a lot more vulnerable than we used to be. So as we go along, we forget about those pictures of the planes crashing into the trade towers and all the things that went on that day.” In 2006, CBS “Early Show” weatherman Dave Price asked him why at his age he was performing for soldiers in Iraq. Charlie’s answer was precious: “I can’t carry a gun…you know, I can’t fight, but I can darn sure carry a guitar and pick, so that’s why I’m here.” On CBS last year, Price recalled, “With all the great acts that are generous enough to give their time, when Charlie Daniels steps in front of these soldiers and sailors and Marines, it’s like… unreal.” The Charlie Daniels Band has performed for U.S troops all over the world, not just in Iraq, but everywhere from Germany and Bosnia to South Korea to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Their brand-new album, “Land That I Love,” underlines a strong theme in Charlie’s music. That’s a snapshot of his career, an apt description of a love affair with his country that Charlie Daniels has expressed in music for over a half-century.     Daniels was welcomed into the Grand Ole Opry Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2009. The Opry honor was announced while he was working for charity again, picking and fiddling for the Christmas For Kids benefit at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Martina McBride walked on stage with a small gift box containing the honor. But Charlie has brought a much larger basket of gifts to this country and its fighting men and women. He deserves every honor that comes his way. Those of us who can consider Charlie Daniels a friend are honored that way.

Beach Boys’ Label Threatens Suit Over Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’

Posted on August 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Threat comes after both writers of the original ‘California Girls’ praised Perry’s song. By Gil Kaufman Katy Perry Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/ WireImage Katy Perry is having an epic summer thanks to her smash hit “California Gurls,” which has sold more than 3 million copies already and topped the singles charts for weeks. But the soon-to-be-wed pop star and Rolling Stone cover girl may end up sharing some of the proceeds from that track with the pop icons who first sang the praises of West Coast beauties. According to the New York Post , representatives for the Beach Boys are threatening to sue Perry for including the classic line “I wish they all could be California girls” in her tune. The line is lifted from the Boys’ 1965 rock classic “California Girls,” and the paper reported that publishing reps at the Boys’ Rondor Music have sent a letter to Perry’s label demanding that the original song’s writers, Mike Love and Brian Wilson, be given a writing credit on “Gurls” as well as a share of royalties. Spokespeople for Perry and the Beach Boys could not be reached for comment by MTV News at press time. An unnamed recording industry source reportedly told the paper: “Rondor Music has sent a letter to Capitol on behalf of Mike Love and Brian Wilson, saying Katy has cribbed one of the most famous lyrics in history, so Love and Wilson should be entitled to a writing credit and a portion of the royalties.” The iconic line is rapped by Snoop Dogg near the end of Perry’s song (“California girls, man/ I wish they all could be California Girls”), which, ironically, was recently praised by Love. “The subject matter is still in vogue — just ask Katy Perry. I think the part she did is pretty cool. There are a lot of writers on it, and I think it’s probably a stroke of genius to have the king of canine cool, Mr. [Snoop] Dogg, do his thing. But I think her creative part, her musical part, is pretty hooky. I think it brings the Beach Boys’ 1965 classic to mind, that’s for sure,” Love told Billboard. Wilson has called the song “infectious.” Sources reportedly told the Post that Wilson and Love asked Rondor to send the letter, but spokespeople for the musicians said it was Rondor’s decision. “Rondor owns the track and called Brian and Mike, saying they were going to complain. Brian likes Katy’s record and doesn’t know where the situation stands,” according to Wilson’s rep, while Love’s rep added, “Mike and Brian wrote the song … but any legal action is up to Rondor.” Related Photos Concept Art For Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’ Related Artists Katy Perry The Beach Boys

All Time Low, Third Eye Blind Frontmen Bond At Bamboozle

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I was nervous when you guys first joined on,’ ATL’s Alex Gaskarth tells Stephan Jenkins. ‘I’m a fan.’ By Joel Hanek All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth and Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins Photo: MTV News The eclectic traveling carnival that is the Bamboozle Roadshow came to an end over the weekend in Boston, but the “bro”-bonds that were formed on tour will go on. MTV News followed the action all week, catching up with all of the acts, from pop-punkers Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte to electro-funksters LMFAO and 3OH!3. While the acts were diverse, one common theme among the musicians was their near-unanimous tendency to geek out over fellow headliners Third Eye Blind, with many calling the band one of the biggest influences on the current generation of rock groups. On the penultimate tour stop, at New York’s Nassau Coliseum, we caught up with All Time Low singer Alex Gaskarth and listened in on his talk with one of his musical idols, Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins. It turns out the two were not only fans of one another, but also formed a newfound friendship. “A couple days [into the tour], I saw you guys play, and you guys are like this ongoing sea of energy,” Jenkins told Gaskarth. “That, and you guys have the best banter, because what you do every night it’s so changed up … it’s really authentic.” Gaskarth repaid the compliment, recounting how nearly every night on the Bamboozle fest, everyone met up by the stage to catch a glimpse of Third Eye Blind’s set . On a few dates, Gaskarth was even lucky enough to join the band onstage for a performance of their mega-hit “Jumper.” “I think that was the craziest thing about when you guys actually did join on the tour — one of the big things was we’re a different generation of bands — a lot of us were nervous,” Gaskarth admitted. “I can say I was nervous when you guys first joined on,” he added. “I’m a fan. It’s always like kicking down that wall of ‘do I approach?’ ” With the Roadshow over, both bands are keeping busy. Third Eye Blind plan to record a new album, while All Time Low will be on the road through 2010. Did you catch the Bamboozle Roadshow this year? Who was your favorite act on the lineup?

‘We Are The World’ Remake Producer RedOne Aims For ‘Current’ Sound

Posted on February 11, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I didn’t want to mess it up, because it’s too good,’ the Lady Gaga hitmaker says of the original. By Kelly Marino Stars gather for “We Are the World” remake Photo: Getty Images LOS ANGELES — Grammy-winning producer RedOne has worked with a slew of top artists, including Akon, Shakira, Little Boots, Sean Kingston and, most notably, Lady Gaga. But when he received a phone call from Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones, asking him to produce a remake of “We Are the World,” he was in complete shock. “I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ ” RedOne told MTV News at the Henson Studios, where the track was recorded last week. “This is Lionel and Quincy, you know, the fathers of music, of hits, of music, of charity, of everything. It was big. So that night, before I started working on it, I had nightmares about the whole track. ‘They didn’t like it. Oh they need a new track.’ But, thank God, they loved it.” Twenty-five years after the all-star recording of “We Are the World” was put together to help combat African famine, a new collection of stars came together February 2 to make a new version for victims of the Haiti earthquake. But RedOne was careful not to change up the original version too much. Instead, he opted to keep the song the same but bring a more current sound to it. “I just keep the class of the original one,” RedOne said. “But I didn’t want to change any course. I didn’t want to mess it up, because it’s too good. I tried to keep it on the same level and tried to make it sound more now and current. I kept the whole core progressions, the feeling and the vibe, but brought fresher sounds that are more now.” Producing the track was relatively easy, RedOne said, considering Richie and Jones had already picked the artists and selected which parts of the song the musicians would sing before bringing the hitmaker onboard. “Everybody wanted to help,” RedOne said about the stars checking their egos at the door. “I remember Jamie Foxx came to me and said, ‘Red, don’t worry about me. I am here. I can wait. Do your thing. Whenever it is my time, I’ll be here. Don’t think about it.’ So that was a beautiful sign. It wasn’t about me as a producer or Quincy as a legend producer or Lionel or any artists. Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Akon, Enrique [Iglesias] — everybody was there. And it was amazing and beautiful.” After a week of fine-tuning the song, RedOne couldn’t be happier with the outcome. “‘We Are the World’ is done, and it sounds incredible and the video is incredible ,” the producer promised. “So I think the world will be touched by it, and hopefully people will be touched that much to help, because that is the whole purpose for the song. “It is so easy to forget about them for a little while,” Red said of keeping Haiti in people’s minds. “But music goes on and on, so all the money that is going to be generated can be for Haiti, and it’s a beautiful thing. We try to raise the money to build, like, seven cities and help the children and schools and things, so it’s good thing. I think you are going to love it.” The song, accompanied by the video, is slated to premiere Friday night at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics on NBC. All proceeds will go to the newly formed charity We Are the World Foundation LLC and will then be distributed to Haiti.
