No idleness for American Idols
Though favorite local son Ricky Braddy hasn’t said what he’s got in the works as far as his musical aspirations go, there will hopefully be an interview with him in the Daily Advance soon. In the meantime, two American Idol hopefuls have gotten themselves some sweet deals. Adam Lambert has signed with 19 Recordings/RCA Records and Allison Iraheta (remember the duet “Time After Time” she did with Cyndi Lauper?) has signed with 19 Recordings/Jive Records/RCA. That’s basically the same deal that winner Kris Allen recently signed, so I would say they’re doing pretty well for being losers. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ricky get some kind of deal because he not only writes his own stuff, but he plays it and sings it with an amazing voice - AND he’s got a magnetic stage presence. What more could you want? In other news, The Black Eyed Peas single “Boom Boom Pow” off their new CD “The END” is #1 on Billboard and The Roots, house band for Jimmy Fallon, is working on a new CD, as well. Pharrell Williams, the big time producer from Va. Beach, and his band NER*D (think garage band rock meets old-time R&B) is in the studio. Does anyone care that Britney Spears is back on her “Circus” tour in America? Didn’t think so.
