On TV / Awards / News Eminem meets Bruno at MTV Movie Awards
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Yeah, the clip speaks for itself... Doesn't look like Eminem was happy. I guess he can make fun of celebrities, but doesn't like to become the "butt" of jokes himself:

On TV / Awards / Opinion / News More thoughts on Idol
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 11:14 AM
I really, really hate to say it, but Clay Aiken makes a good point about American Idol and Adam Lambert:
"The minute that Adam Lambert was singing 'Ring of Fire' ... at that moment, [I] thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! I wasn't really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him."This year, there was an obvious bias. Not even having watched the show, I can tell you that I was WELL aware of the bias from the judges as to who should win. In my opinion, that is awfully unattractive. I don't think I am alone.
"I think many voters got sick of being "told who to vote for". I think many were turned off by the blatant favoritism shown towards one contestant. Therefore, on that last night, they used their votes against a contestant that they were tired of hearing about and for the contestant who had been written off."
And this from Gene Simmons:
“Respectfully, I don’t think Adam is a rock singer,” Simmons writes. “He sounds much more convincing singing ballads and Broadway shows. His voice doesn’t seem to have a ‘rock quality.’ But, I’m sure he’s going to do just fine.”

On TV / Awards / Opinion / News The ad gurus
Posted By Pete Stuart on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 11:34 AM
If you're a hockey fan and have been following the 2009 NHL playoffs, you've probably seen the Versus ads featuring the music of Explosions in the Sky, the Austin-based instrumental rock quartet. If you're like most, you probably didn't know who the band was but simply thought "man, that was a kick ass commercial."
The inspirational spot features the voice of some old, weathered coach contrasting the theories of evolution and competition over a spectacular video montage of sports highlights. Check out the full, unedited version below. The sampled track is "First Breath After Coma," off Explosions' 2003 release, The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place.

Rarely does a commercial give me chills, but this one does every time.
On TV / Awards / Opinion / News Kris Allen wins 'Idol'
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 11:12 AM
First off, let me thank whoever the woman was on the radio this morning that spoiled the finale of "American Idol" for me. Actually, it's not that big of a deal, and kind of humorous.
My alarm went off this morning and it was timed perfectly to the morning's headlines. As she rambled through the usual murder, politics and weather it was one line that caught my ear — "Kris Allen won 'American Idol' last night." Gee, thanks. I was going to fast forward through the two-hour show during breakfast to see the reactions for myself and find out who won, but the lady spoiled it for me. Oh well...
So, how did Allen beat Adam Lambert? I'm guessing there were a handful of people that voted for Adam to lose more than for Kris to win. I'm guessing people who were fans of Danny Gokey pulled for Allen. I'm guessing, like me, people just had enough of "Screech Glambert."

On TV / Awards / News American Idol finale performers announced
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, May 18, 2009 at 3:03 PM
So, who's going to perform during the finale of "American Idol" this week? You already know Adam Lambert and Kris Allen will be there, but you know Fox has to drag this thing out as long as possible.
Those slated to perform on Wednesday are David Cook (who has already performed once this season), Lionel Richie, Carlos Santana, Cyndi Lauper, Queen Latifah, The Black Eyed Peas and Keith Urban. Carrie Underwood is booked (for her second time) on Tuesday night's show.

On TV / Awards / News The early days of American Idol's Adam Lambert
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 4:08 PM
If anyone thought Adam Lambert wasn't theatrical, you must need glasses and a new hearing aid.
Anyway, TMZ just posted a bunch of pics from Adam's early days on stage. Why didn't he wear this stuff on Idol? I'm guessing conservative America would have run the other direction.
I'll keep any comments to myself. It's good you can't hear the ear-piercing screams that go with them though.

On TV / Awards / Opinion / News I'm waiting for the punchline
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 4:18 PM
OK, I have to ask. She talks with a bizarre, fake accent, is usually seen without pants and wears some of the oddest costumes around.
Am I the only one waiting for Lady Gaga to tell us we've all been "Punk'd" or that it's all a joke to see how much crap the American public will buy into? Surely she'll be nothing more than a here-today-gone-tomorrow pop tart with a radio hit or two and no longevity...
It has to be a joke of some kind... Just watch the first minute or so of each of these videos.
