Adam Lambert Update!

American Idol runner up Adam Lambert has been hard at work on his debut album to be released on 24 November. Lambert confirmed that the album is titled, "For Your Entertainment" and also that he has recorded a song written by Lady GaGa! The official first single for the album will debut soon.

Kris Allen: First Single!

American Idol Season 8 winner Kris Allen will release his debut on 17 November. The official first single for the album, "Live Like We're Dying" has hit the net. The song was originally intended for Irish band The Script. Listen to the song below and let me know what you think!

To me this is just okay, nothing great here. It really sounds like a song The Script would have on one of their albums so I'm not sure how creative or original Kris is trying to be on this album. Anyway, I'm sure radio will eat this up which is what they're aiming for.

MJB to do AI!

The team at American Idol has snapped up Mary J Blige as a guest judge on the upcoming season. She is the second guest judge to appear on the show after Victoria Beckham's appearance earlier in the season.

I'm glad to see Mary getting her name back out there. With the show having such a large audience it'll certainly help with the promo for her upcoming album. Talking about the album, the video for the lead single, "The One" should hopefully premiere soon!

Paula Abdul To Leave Idol!

In news that will shock the millions of fans that tune in to American Idol each season, Paula Abdul will officially be leaving the show after her contract terms were not agreed upon by both parties. Abdul was set to be asking too much to appear on the next season and producers thought she could be replaced.

Is Paula replaceable? What do you think?
