Kris Allen Gets Album Release Date
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock
November is going to be a busy month for past American Idol winners. On November 11, Carrie Underwood will host the CMA Awards for the second year in a row. Now Kris Allen is getting a date on the calendar.
On Friday, the Season 8 champ used his Twitter account to break professional news. (That’s so very Paula Abdul.) “Hey guys! The album is set to release Nov 17th,” Allen revealed.
Earlier this summer, the 24-year-old said his upcoming album would be built on the sound that helped him win. “Everyone’s been asking me what it’s going to sound like. It will be very similar to what you heard from me on the show — definitely in the pop/rock genre.”
Kris’ as-yet-untitled CD can be pre-ordered on Amazon now.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Videos, Pop
If you saw any of Katharine McPhee‘s acting appearances in the past year (The House Bunny, CSI: NY), you might have almost forgotten about her singing career. With any luck, that will change in the next few months.
In the video above, the former American Idol finalist can be seen working on her upcoming album Unbroken. McPhee, who recently took a drastic turn to the blonde side (you can see a picture after the jump), says her lightened locks were a result of her new sound.

Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige may be far apart musically, but their resumes do have one thing in common: American Idol.
Late this week, the former Spice Girl wrapped up her two-city stint as a guest judge in Boston. Her last-minute help was requested when Paula Abdul left the program. Now Blige will be the one adding the input when the show moves to Atlanta.
The Grammy award-winning R&B singer is no stranger to making television appearances. In addition to a performance on One Life to Live, she’s starred as herself on both Entourage and 30 Rock.

Was Adam Lambert Ineligible for American Idol?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Hi Fi records is planning to release an album full of Adam Lambert’s songs that were recorded before he was ever on reality TV…but, there are several problems with the whole thing. It all started when Hi Fi made their intentions known. Lambert then responded, via the press, that these are not actually his songs but mere studio recordings which no longer reflect where he is musically - he contents they were meant to be demos for other singers.
The record company responded with a memo that suggests Lambert had a hand in writing most of the songs. Lambert promptly changed his tune (pun intended) at this point, saying the demos were indeed his…but, he doesn’t want them to be released.

Record Deal for American Idol’s Kris Allen
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock
UPDATE: Lambert tells E! Online that he has a deal lined up with RCA.
Adam Lambert may still be weighing a future with or without Queen, but Kris Allen is already plugging ahead with his career.
Less than three weeks after winning American Idol, the Season 8 winner has officially scored his record deal. His contract with 19 Recordings and Jive Records falls in line with deals already made with Jordin Sparks and David Archuleta, two other Idol contestants.
“Everyone’s been asking me what it’s going to sound like. It will be very similar to what you heard from me on the show — definitely in the pop/rock genre. I can’t wait to get started!,” Allen revealed in a statement.
Kris will most likely juggle studio time with Idol‘s 50-city tour to make the fall release of his album. His performance of “No Boundaries” currently sits at #23 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
