News / On TV / Awards Irrelevant MTV Awards

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 10:20 AM

Remember the old days, when good bands played the MTV Video Music Awards and you could watch the show to get your hand on the pulse of music?

Yeah, those days are long gone. I watched parts of last night's awards show and decided they have become completely irrelevant after Britney Spears won an award for "Best Female Video." Seriously? Did she even have a new song out?

Then they gave an award away for "Best Dancing in a Video" - yeah, cause it's all about the music, right?

Then Spears won for "Best Pop Video" and, get this, "Video of the Year."

After the show, gossip-monger Perez Hilton said he voted for Spears because she's had a rough year. Again, it's all about the music/videos right?

Lil Wayne grabbed himself so much he must be afraid it's gonna fall off, Kanye West closed the show with a boring performance (cracks me up that he didn't win, again), Russell Brand was a horrible host, The freakin' Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus performed... What a waste.

BET announced the nominations for the 2008 award show that goes down June 24 in California.

Blige and young-guns like T-Pain who stole five nominations, three of which are for the collaborations; “Kiss, Kiss” with Chris Brown, “Good Life” with Kanye West and “Low” with Flo Rida. Heavy-hitters gunning for Best Male are: Jay-Z , Common, Snoop, Kanye West and Common. Quincy Jones will receive the Humanitarian Award and Al Green will take home a Lifetime Achievement Award after decades of soul. Check out BET's Web site for a full list of nominations.

On TV / Awards Who will win Idol?

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Tue, May 20, 2008 at 3:25 PM

I'd be willing to bet everything I have that David wins American Idol tonight...

On the one hand, you have David Cook — The Mayor of Creepy Town. He's done everything via the Chris Daughtry playbook and is poised to take the title. While he looks like he'd be more comfortable sitting home playing Dungeons & Dragons, and about the furthest thing from a "rocker" image, the voters have him in the finals.

On the other side, you have David Archuleta — Boy Wonder. Every song he sings sounds the same, and he looks like he'd be most comfortable singing with a '50s doo-wop band. Hey, David, don't look so surprised every time someone tells you you're doing well. The competition's almost over...you should be used to it already.

So, congratulations, David, on winning the biggest karaoke contest on tv. I'm sure lots of people will buy your album when it hits the streets in six-12 months. Until then, you'll be shacked up with the others on the Top 10 tour or whatever it's called.

I can't picture either one of these guys having a big — Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood — career. I suggest naming your debut album, Jump the Shark.

On TV / Awards She's gone crazy!

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 10:39 AM

Everyone is going to be talking about this today...

Paula Abdul, last night on American Idol, commented on Jason Castro's two songs — problem was he only sang one.

Some people are saying that proves the show is scripted, others say it's proof that Abdul is nuts.

Check it out:

As far as my thoughts on last night — I wasn't impressed by any of them.

News / New Releases / On TV / Awards News bytes from the '90s

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 3:41 PM

* Nine Inch Nails has released yet another song. "Discipline" is available as a free download at discipline.nin.com There's also mention of something happening in two weeks - yet another album?

* Jane's Addiction's original lineup performed yesterday for the first time in 17 years. Wish I could have been there... They played "Mountain Song," "Ocean Size" "Stop" and "Jane Says." Rumors of a the reunion leading to a tour are of course running rampant... One can only hope they'll continue to make new music, though Eric Avery recently released a solo album.

On TV / Awards American Idol - Top 6

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 12:15 PM

I didn't comment on the Top 7 performances last week because, frankly, no one should be singing Mariah Carey songs.

Now, America's largest karaoke contest had the top 6 singers perform Andrew Lloyd Webber songs last night... No doubt everyone would sound very "Broadway."

Here are my thoughts on last night's contestants:

On TV / Awards Worst song ever?

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 12:02 PM

A sure sign of the downfall of civilization is that this woman is actually getting any attention for one of the stupidest songs I've ever heard...ever!

It's not safe for work, and probably not safe for any human ears, either.

That's right — someone named Riskay actually wrote a song called, "Smell Yo Dick." I'm sorry to share it...
