In honor of National Pie Day, check out this video of The Rock’s single “Pie” ft. Slick Rick. You’re welcome.   Hit the flip for the full track.

America’s Got Talent: Reigning in Seattle?

America’s Got Talent headed to Seattle this week, with the show losing credibility every time Howie tries to let in lemon acts such as the Paper Horn Man. The evening didn’t impress me much and I was surprised the producers decided kept this episode alone when tomorrow’s previews were miles better than most of the auditions this week. For the highs and lows, read on… The Highs Seattle’s First Contestant, impressionist Melissa Villasenor, was probably the best opening for a talent show in a while. Comedians/impressionists don’t normally succeed on the show, but she was almost pitch perfect and deserves to make it to America’s vote. Good Little Kids – I’m not sure why Sady’s parents dressed her in something like a raincoat and rain boots, but her scatting was something that I haven’t heard; she’s like the anti- Jackie Evancho . Nick Cannon’s Hosting – Watching Nick’s reaction to the drag act and the horrible magician was the best. His performance with Paper Horn Man was amazing, as well. I’ll admit that while he’s no Cat Deeley, Nick brings a nice dynamic to the show. The Lows Howie/Piers Fights – Let’s stop focusing on the judges and more on the talent. I question Sharon’s judging abilities when she caved and let Mauricio go through just so Howie could have a good laugh. If the contestants didn’t impress on the first shot, they shouldn’t make it through. The A+C Twins were bad, but Howie coming in and performing was lighthearted and funny; sure, it wasted time, but it was better than bickering. Paper Horn Man – I’ll admit, when I heard Carlton’s voice, I imagined that he could be the next Ted Williams . Alas, he’ll probably just be the crazy homeless guy you see at your local subway. Generic Dance Groups – We got to see a clip of The Electrolytes perform and the judges were blown away. I didn’t get it. They were okay. There are two groups that set the standard for hip hop dancers: America’s Best Dance Crew’s JabbaWockeeZ and Britain’s Got Talent’s Diversity. From the clips we got, The Electrolytes brought nothing new to the table. The Burning Questions Foreigners – There were several acts in Seattle that made me question the “America” part. As much as I loved Zuma Zuma, the Kenyan aerial group that didn’t need mats, they admitted they were from Kenya. Along with them Mauricio Herrera, who was famous in Costa Rica but born in America, made me question his credibility. I’m sure that at least one of the two will be cut, but should contestants win if they aren’t American? Breaking Groups Up – Poplyfe was a really good act and I’m shocked that Piers would even consider only taking the one girl in the six person group. Unlike Season Four’s Marcus Terrell & the Serenades, The whole band was good and they had this wonderful vibe. Overall, the episode was a bit boring and had the stereotypes we always see: the funny old person, talented little kids, dance groups, bad singers, and bad magicians. Outside of Melissa Villasenor and Poplyfe, no one else impressed me. How about you?

‘Glee’ Soundtrack Tops Billboard, While Christina Aguilera Debuts at #3

Bionic is Christina’s lowest chart debut to date. By Gil Kaufman Glee: The Music, Journey to Regionals Photo: Columbia Records Christina Aguilera is used to jousting with fellow female divas on the charts, but after a four-year layoff to start a family, the bondage-loving good-girl-gone-bad ran into the most formidable foes of her career this week: the glee club and teen vampires. Try as she might, Aguilera’s Bionic could not beat back the forces of “Glee,” as the hit show’s fifth soundtrack, Glee: The Music — Journey to Regionals easily topped the Billboard 200 albums chart in its debut, moving 152,000 copies and giving the show its third straight #1 album, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. Coming in just behind at #2 is the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” soundtrack , which moved 144,000 copies. That means that after two #1 debuts and a #2 bow for her first three studio albums of original English-language songs (which sold between 252,000 and 346,000 or more in their first week), Bionic represents the lowest chart debut to date for Aguilera at just over 110,000. The soft sales come just weeks after Aguilera scrapped an already-announced summer tour , citing scheduling conflicts in promoting the album and her winter big-screen debut in “Burlesque.” Also making chart debuts this week are rapper Plies with his long-awaited album Goon Affiliated (#5, 56,000), country star Dierks Bentley with Up on the Ridge (#9, 38,000) and Jewel , whose country-flavored Sweet and Wild came in at #10 on sales of 31,000. The rest of the top 10: Jack Johnson , To the Sea (#4, 89,000, down 63 percent from its debut), Justin Bieber , My World 2.0 (49,000), Glee: The Music — Vol. 3, Showstoppers (#7, 40,000) and Lady Antebellum , Need You Now (#8, 39,000). Further down the line, jam-band circuit faves Grace Potter and the Nocturnals hit #20 with their self-titled fourth album (18,000), Gym Class Heroes singer Travie McCoy landed at #27 with his solo debut, Lazarus, and one-time boy band Hanson managed a #30 bow for their soul-flecked latest, Shout It Out (14,000). Former anarchy-loving punks Against Me! planted White Crosses at #34 (12,000) and rapper Lil Jon’s years-in-the-making Crunk Rock slipped in the top 50 at #49 on sales of 9,000. One of the week’s biggest tumbles came from UK crooner Taio Cruz , whose Rokstarr plummeted 42 slots to #50 in week two on sales of 9,000 as business dipped 64 percent. The week’s biggest gainer was the “Get Him to the Greek” soundtrack album from Russell Brand ‘s fake band, Infant Sorrow, which shot up 67 spots to #81 in its second week as sales increased by 67 percent to 6,000. Gleeks should hold a quick party, but Drake all but has a lock on a #1 debut next week with his eagerly anticipated Thank Me Later, which has hit stores along with the first album of new material from Sarah McLachlan in seven years, another Now compilation and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ‘ first new disc since 2002.
