Thanks for your time, Mike Bivona Please share this video on twitter & facebook! This is my interpretation of Justin Bieber’s brand new song “Pray”. Instead of playing a straight “copy” version, I freestyled my own bridge and I played a different ending. Most of the song is the same, but I thought to make it more my own The video shows me playing the main piano part, but I later played 2 other background pianos, strings, and bass. I also added a drum beat that I made using FL Studio. This was the most complicated instrumental I’ve ever played. I knew I had to pull out all the stops to do this song the justice it deserves. Hope you like it! Notes: (**Note- I do not have sheet music. I play by ear. This is the best I can do. If you have any questions just message me and I will try to explain it more clearly. Your best bet is to write these notes down on paper and bring them to the piano with you!)

‘There is a market for what I do and what I can do,’ latest castoff says. By Gil Kaufman Stefano Langone Photo: FOX You have not seen the last of “American Idol” finalist Stefano Langone . Actually, based on what the seventh-place finisher said Friday (April 22) in a call with reporters, you may not have even seen the first of him. In between moments of comparing himself to icons such as Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Justin Timberlake, self-proclaimed “lucky number seven” contestant Langone explained that he purposely held back on “Idol” because he wanted to save some of his patented special “swag” for his fans to hear on his debut album. “It’s hard to really show your chops on the show,” he said. “One thing I wanted to save and keep close to myself was my original music and my piano playing. That’s something that I want to bring out and really show the world, and I think it will be very, very special.” Saying that he purposely chose to not showcase his full range of talent on the program, Langone said he has big plans to carve a unique lane in the vein of Justin Timberlake and John Legend by playing piano, writing his own material and collaborating with rappers. “Right now, there is a market for what I do and what I can do,” Langone said when asked how he was going to become the rare #7 finisher who does not fade into obscurity after leaving the show. “The producers know it, my management knows it, and I know it. … I’m ready to pounce on it. I’m ready to attack.” Curiously, Langone said not only did he choose to keep his piano talents under wraps, but he also picked songs that weren’t necessarily the best ones for the show, but ones that he thought might help him in his post-“Idol” career. “When I get on that piano, I don’t want to be remembered as getting on the piano and having 20 million-plus people see me on a piano doing a cover,” he said. “I want people to see me sitting on a piano and singing my songs, my heartfelt, real songs that came from my soul.” Asked whom he might compare himself to or want to work with, Langone ticked off the kind of list that is probably on every wannabe star’s bedroom wall at the moment: Bruno Mars, Legend, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Usher and Ne-Yo. Though he wouldn’t reveal who has been in touch, Langone promised that he’s already heard from a number of rappers who are ready to get in the studio with him. Stefano also admitted that he was conflicted by lasting longer than his pal Pia Toscano , a singer many thought would finish higher than him. “When I came out for [the show], I was never wanting to be the American Idol; it was getting that foot in the door in the music industry and taking a step forward in that way,” explained Langone, who hit the bottom three times before his luck ran out Thursday night. “I knew how bad Pia wanted to be the American Idol, and I almost wanted it more for her more than me.” Stefano said he was not rattled by landing in the bottom three so many times, instead focusing on what he was going to do the following week and working hard to improve. “It doesn’t really reflect on who I am as a musician or a performer at all,” he said. “Now it’s time for me to really move forward and become that footprint that I know I can put on this industry.” When good pal and Hollywood roommate James Durbin jumped on him at the end of Thursday’s show after shedding many tears for his eliminated friend, Langone just chalked it up to Durbin being a “cry baby” and said it was all good. He counseled James not to worry about him and revealed that he will be the best man at the rocker’s upcoming wedding. So we now know he held back on his talents, but given his apparent sex appeal, was Langone mad that it didn’t dawn on him to plant a kiss on Jennifer Lopez’s cheek first? “Not at all. That’s cool for Casey,” he said of bearded fellow sex symbol Casey Abrams, who made headlines with his judge’s smooch on Wednesday night. “It’s probably the first kiss he’s had in a long time, so I ain’t mad at him.” As for when he expects to snag his first Grammy? “A year,” he said without missing a beat, then rethinking it a second later. “Two years.” Don’t miss “Idol Party Live” every Thursday at noon on MTV.com for analysis, celebrity guests and even some karaoke — get in the conversation by tweeting with the hashtag #idolparty!

Paul McDonald, 26, is also pumped because, he says, he really wanted to play the piano and show off his other talents. “I have this other side that I didn#39;t even start to show,” he says. “I play keys. It#39;s hard to do in a minute and a half of a cover song so I#39;m looking forward to doing my own thing and getting creative again.” Fans of Paul McDonald may be upset that the singer was booted off American Idol on Thursday#39;s elimination but actress Nikki Reed – whom he says he is “offic

Joan Rivers is still talking yang yang about our beloved FLOTUS, Michelle Obama: “We’ve bonded. We have bonded over shitty phone service all over the United States,” Joan Rivers remarked to us on Friday, after a few frustrating rounds of phone tag, thanks to AT&T and some botched lines. But “Can you hear me now?” aside, the comedienne is totally impossible to catch up with, anyway. As of late, she’s been making the media rounds, promoting her new reality show for We TV and sounding off on a variety of subjects all along the way. Check out what Joan had to say to HuffPost Style about Michelle Obama’s State Dinner dress, Tiger Mom and how she got into the fashion commenting business to begin with. HP: One thing that has been making headlines in the fashion world this week is Michelle Obama wearing McQueen to the State Dinner. JR: Wrong. Wrong. Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, but we’re pushing America and we’re so behind in everything that we’re doing. We’re trying to push our own industries, the president’s coming out and saying we’ve got to make more American stuff, you know what, darling? Buy American. Wrong. I like the Obamas, I voted for Obama, but totally wrong. Very badly advised. It was like Jackie Onassis used to sneak the French couture into the White House. At least she had the decency to have Oleg Cassini copy it. So she would say, I’m wearing Oleg Cassini when in reality, he had just copied a lot of the fashions. HP: Do you think there are occasions when the first lady could wear a foreign designer? JR: In private, God bless her, she can wear what she wants. When she’s sitting around with just their friends or if [Obama]‘s not re-elected, or even if he is re-elected, she’ll have all those years ahead of her to wear what she wants. HP: Shifting gears, you’re on a reality show now with your daughter. What do you think of Tiger Mom? JR: I adore the Tiger Mom. I think a child should be strapped to the piano. The only thing is, she says, “This is the success,” and I don’t want to break her heart but if every child learns to play the piano or becomes a pianist or a violinist, how many are in each orchestra? You’re setting your children up to fail, you idiot. There’s one pianist per orchestra. So if you’re strapping your kid to the piano, you’re making your kid fail if he thinks he’s going to be a pianist. And if you’re strapping your kid…how many violinists? There’s a first violin, second violin, maybe a small string section. So unfortunately, poor Tiger Mom got it a little screwed up. I think she should strap them to the computer. Or let them make clothes for Michelle Obama. I think Tiger Mom should have all the kids in America designing clothes for Michelle Obama so she wouldn’t have to buy outside of our coasts.

Posted onDecember 14, 2010byBenny Hollywood|Comments Off on Greyson Chance Inspired By Paramore For ‘Waiting Outside the Lines’ Video
Singer says his colorful piano was inspired by Paramore’s Riot album cover. By Jocelyn Vena Greyson Chance Photo: Noel Vasquez/Getty Images Greyson Chance made a name for himself by covering Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” and was then signed to Ellen DeGeneres’ record label . Now, he’s ready to release his first music video, for “Waiting Outside the Lines,” the first single from his debut album, which should be released early next year. “The video … starts off in a road and then it transforms into a rooftop and then onto a sidewalk and then into the middle of the rain. … I like to call it a mini-film. The whole concept is saying that … everything in the world can come down on you, but you’re still gonna break through,” he explained to MTV News from the video’s set. “Especially when the rain comes down, I’m letting it pour on me [and] I don’t care, but in the end, I’m bone-dry and I’m getting through my problem.” The video also features a piano with words scribbled all over it, and Chance said he was inspired by a certain punk band with a flame-haired lead singer for the design. “I was inspired by the Riot album cover by Paramore, with the different words and then the red word that said ‘Riot,’ ” he explained. “And I said, ‘That’s so cool. I wonder if I can make a piano like that?’ So now we actually have the piano with all the different words, and then I’ve always dreamed of having an inverted piano with black keys and white sharps and flats, so we have that too. It’s been really cool. I’m so glad it’s there.” The video was directed by Sanaa Hamri (Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Sting, Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera), who explained what he wanted the video to mean. “With ‘Waiting Outside the Lines,’ I heard and saw Greyson and the piano in different environments,” he said. ” The metaphor of this video is how we’re all transported when we hear music.” Related Videos Greyson Chance Is ‘Waiting Outside The Lines’ Related Artists Paramore
