It’s extremely hard and close to unfathomable to speak of a music album as of an “instant classic” when it’s not even out in stores, yet this is precisely what’s happening with Adam Lambert’s debut material “For Your Entertainment.” Due out on November 23, Lambert’s first studio album is a wonderful collection of intoxicating tracks oscillating from insane electropop / disco / rock to powerful, emotion-laden ballads hailing the arrival of the next glam rock idol. Very high hopes were pinned on Lambert and this was even before he finished off last season of American Idol – and surpr...

Not only has the famed director invested over $500 million in the film, but he also got one of the biggest artists of the moment, Leona Lewis, to contribute a song on the soundtrack, as MTV UK reports. This is not just a regular track though, as Leona has recorded the theme song nonetheless, with industry insiders saying that her “I See You” stands great chances of becoming what Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” was for “...

Admittedly, this one pop star is the most shameless exhibitionist in showbiz at the moment, and the just-released video for “Bad Romance,” directed by Francis Lawrence, shows precisely how this came to be. Lawrence, as fans must know, worked in the past with such artists as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Shakira, and Gwen Stefani, but, from the very first seconds into the Gaga video, it becomes obvious that this is truly something the world hasn’t seen yet. Critics agree that, while Gaga is not actually b...

Lead singer Steven Tyler has quit his position as frontman, without as much as saying whether he’ll ever be back, guitarist Joe Perry says in a recent interview cited by ContactMusic.Reports about Aerosmith going on a hiatus of sorts have been making the rounds for many months now, especially in light of an entire year filled with cancelations, postponements and injuries.

The video, as expected, was created in such a way so as to mirror some of the mayhem we’re to see in the doomsday movie that drops this November. Lambert’s video too was supposed to arrive at a much later date, ahead of “Michael Jackson’s This Is It” docu-film, they say, but some... [read more >>] Adam Lambert fans have plenty of reasons to rejoice: not only is the release date for his debut album drawing near, but they also get to hear the first song outside the American Idol competition. “Time for Miracles” is included on the music score for the doomsday film “2012” and, just like Adam promised not long ago, it doesn’t disappoint. Far from it, as Rolling Stone can confirm.
