The Artist keeps the streak alive winning at the DGA Awards

jasonboegh — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 06:48:55 +0000

The Artist may just be unbeatable at the Oscars in a little over a month. The film won the Golden Globe, the Critics Choice Award and has topped numerous critic’s best of lists, and tonight Michael Hazanvicius won Best Director at the Directors Guild of America Awards. This one is a great barometer of the Oscars as the winner usually repeats there, along with the film he or she represents. So, can Hazanavicius take the Golden Boy? He’ll still have to fend off Martin Scorsese, but I’d say it’s his to lose for the time being. Other awards went to Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Killing and The Kennedys. Take a look at all the winners below, and check back here tomorrow to see how The Artist fares at the SAG Awards… It may need some help there because of a little picture called… The Help.

Kelly Clarkson goes Country Again

jasonboegh — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:17:59 +0000

Kelly Clarkson is currently riding high with another gold album, Stronger, and a new smash single “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” which just went gold as well and hit the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100…. However, her record company is not done with her previous smash “Mr. Know It All”. The song is currently top 5 at AC and previously went top ten at pop radio and # 1 on Hot AC. It’s also sold over 1.2 million downloads. And now, it’s going country… Yes, there’s a new country version of the song that just hit the web and will be sent to country radio programmers. We’ll see if they go for it. I, for one, kinda love it. While they just added some country instruments, the song seems to work in the genre. It could give Kelly a third hit in that field. She previously went to # 2 on the country charts with her duet with Reba McEntire on “Because of You” and her #1 megasmash “Don’t You Wanna Stay” with Jason Aldean recently won her a CMA Award, is up for a Grammy and just nabbed 2 ACM nominations. So, clearly the country folks like this Texas gal…. But what do you think? Do you like the countrified version of “Mr. Know It All”? Take a listen below and let me know.

The Charts~ Adele breaks more records while Kelly Clarkson and NIcki MInaj breath down her neck…

jasonboegh — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:40:16 +0000

Adele was the undisputed music artist of 2011, and it seems like she has no intention of losing that crown in 2012. Her sophomore album, 21, marks a 17th week on top which is the longest run at # 1 since Whitney Houston’s Bodyguard soundtrack, and she also tops the Hot 100 singles chart with her third straight # 1 “Set Fire to the Rain”. To have simultaneous chart topping albums and singles is incredibly rare, but to do it three times in a row is unheard of. And that’s just the record Adele accomplishes this week. She previously held the # 1 album spot during a few weeks of her “Rolling in the Deep” reign and also during one week of “Someone Like You”‘s chart topping run. Now, “Fire” makes it three in a row. Wow… Can she do it again next week? I’m not sure as Tim McGraw will be hot on her heels on the album charts and she has a lot of competition on the singles chart. More on that below. In the meantime check out the new top ten albums.

Billboard 200 Albums Top Ten:
1. 21- Adele (last week~ 1)
2, Kidz Bob 21 (debut)
3. El Camino- The Black Keys (lw~ 3)
4. Take Care- Drake (lw~ 4)
5. Talk that Talk- Rihanna (lw~ 7)
6. TM:103: Hustlerz Ambition- Young Jeezy (lw~ 6)
7. Identity- James Fortune & Fiya (debut)
8. Clancy’s Tavern- Toby Keith (lw~ 22)
9. Mylo Xyloto- Coldplay (lw~8)
10. Here and Now- Nickelback (lw~ 9)

Over on the Hot 100 Singles chart, as I stated, Adele climbs to the top with “Set Fire to the Rain” displacing Rihanna after a 10 week run. Adele is a good bet for one more week at the summit, but she will have to fight off big charges from David Guetta and Nicki Minaj‘s “Turn Me On” and Kelly Clarkson‘s tenth top ten Hot 100 “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” which flies into the top ten at # 8 up from # 21. Check out the new top ten which also gives Jessie J her first song to hit the upper regions with “Domino”. For more on all the Billboard charts, head here.

Top Ten Singles on the Hot 100:
1. “Set Fire to the Rain”- Adele (lw~ 2)
2. “We Found Love”- Rihanna w/Calvin Harris (lw~ 1)
3. “Good Feeling”- Flo Rida (lw~ 3)
4. “Turn Me On”- David Guetta w/ Nicki Minaj (lw~ 10)
5. “The One that Got Away”- Katy Perry (lw~ 6)
6. “It Will Rain”- Bruno Mars (lw~ 4)
7. “Sexy and I Know It”- LMFAO (lw~ 5)
8. “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)”- Kelly Clarkson (lw~ 21)
9. “Ni##s in Paris”- Jay Z & Kanye West (lw~ 7)
10. “Domino” – Jessie J (lw~ 15)

And here’s England’s Katy Perry (as I call her anyway), Jessie J with her first top ten hit, “Domino”

Hot New Music~ Elliott Yamin “3 Words”

jasonboegh — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:21:20 +0000

Season 5 of American Idol has to be considered its zenith. The show had its highest ratings, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood were on their way to superstar status, and the top ten finalists were arguably the best top ten they’ve had to date. While the season is also dubious for having arguably the worst winner in the history of the show in Taylor Hicks (however, season 9′s Lee Dewyze is fighting him for that title), eight of the top ten finalists grabbed record deals. And one of them, the one I thought should’ve won the whole season, Elliott Yamin, is about to release his third album. His beautiful new single, “3 Words” has hit written all over it and it just surfaced on the web. Take a listen below and for more on Elliott and his new album, head here.

Elliott Yamin “3 Words”

(And yes, that was season 5 So You Think You Can Dance finalist Kayla in the video in case you were wondering).

As for those singers who grabbed deals from season 5… here’s a quick rundown on their careers to date…

Mandisa: the Christian diva landed in 9th place and has released 3 hit gospel/Christian albums to date. She’s also received 2 Grammy nominations.
Bucky Covington: the country singer finished in 8th has had several top 40 country hits and is readying his third album for release later this year.
Ace Young: that season’s stud landed in 7th and grabbed a Grammy nominations for co-writing Daughtry‘s “It’s Not Over”. He has since released a solo album and he’s also become fixture on the Broadway stage appearing in hits like Hair.
Kellie Pickler: the country cutie wound up in 6th but has had massive success in her field with a platinum debut album and a gold follow-up. Her third record featuring the hot new country hit, “100 Proof” hit stores just two days ago.
Chris Daughtry: in what was arguably the biggest shocker elimination in the show’s history (except for maybe Pia last year), Chris was sent packing in fourth. He did get the last laugh though with his debut album, Daughtry, amassing 5 big hit singles, over 4 million in sales and 4 Grammy nominations. The followup, Leave this Town, went platinum and landed 3 more hits. His latest album, released in November, is almost gold and their current single “Crawling Back to You” is top ten on the Hot AC charts.
Elliott Yamin: you heard his new single above, but this third place finisher has also had a mega smash from his first album “Wait for You”. His debut album went gold and the follow-up featured the hit “Fight for Love”. His new record is due in the spring.
Katharine McPhee: while she’s released 3 albums, including her debut which sold 375,000 copies featuring the hit “Over It”, this second place finisher is more known for her acting these days. She appeared in the films The House Bunny and Shark Night 3D and is now the star of the midseason NBC musical drama Smash. (I’ve seen it and it’s brilliant and Katharine’s career is about to explode.)
Taylor Hicks: I couldn’t stand him but middle America loved him and he won that season. His debut also sold over 800,000 copies despite no hit songs. Since then he has been dropped form his label and records independently now release several more albums.

A Few Thoughts on today’s Oscar Nominations…

jasonboegh — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:38:49 +0000

This morning Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) announced this year’s contenders and as always we saw the front runners like The Artist and Hugo grab headlines. However, we also saw some shocking snubs and some interesting inclusions. I already posted the full nominee list, so let’s take a look at a few thoughts I have on those who will be contending for this year’s Oscar.

Favorite Nomination: Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids)… I was so happy to see her included in this hilarious film. She gave a wonderfully hysterical performance that had way more layers than you might expect. Comedy needs more representation at the Oscars, so this is a nice start. (Also kudos to Kristin Wiig and her Oscar nominated script for the film).

Best Surprise: Rooney Mara and all the love for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This fantastic film nabbed 5 nods in total. I just wish it was up for Best Pic and Director (David Fincher).
Biggest Snub: Michael Fassbender (Shame)… apparently his great performance may have been overlooked by his hot nekkid body? Or he cancelled himself out with other great turns in A Dangerous Method and Jane Eyre.

Other Big Snubs:
Leonardo DiCaprio (J. Edgar)… looks like academy members really didn’t like this film, which is a shame because Leo was great
Armie Hammer (J. Edgar)
Tilda Swinton (We Need to Talk About Kevin)… another film that may have been too dark and unlikable to get it’s great star a nod.
Albert Brooks (Drive)
Drive in all other categories (except sound)
Charlize Theron, Patton Oswalt and Young Adult… apparently this acerbic dark comedy just didn’t resonate with Oscar voters. I’m sad, cuz it was a good flick.
Steven Spielberg (War Horse) for Director
Andy Serkis (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and Alan Rickman (Harry Potter) both proved its hard to get nominated for big popcorn action films… oh and motion capture performances may never get nominated.
Elizabeth Olsen and Martha Marcy May Marlene… this great indie introduced us to a major acting star in Olsen and still got bupkiss
50/50 and Joseph Gordon Levitt… another great indie that should’ve gotten some love
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 in all big categories…. why oh why couldn’t this amazing franchise ever pull out a Best Pic nom? Especially when the final installment was clearly one of the best films of the year.

More Snubs: Shailene Woodley (The Descendants), Vanessa Redgrave (Coriolanus), Ryan Gosling (Drive, The Ides of March), The Adventures of Tin Tin (in Animated film), Carey Mulligan (Shame), the casts of The Ides of March and Midnight in Paris, Beginners for Screenplay and Director (Mike Mills)

~ And a Big Boo to the voters for dissing The Help for Screenplay, Score, Song, Costume Design and Director… That wonderful film should’ve had 9 noms, not just 4.

~While I’m complaining, I just have to say yuck to all the nods for The Tree of Life. Oy vey!

Other nice inclusions:
~Demian Bichir (A Better Life)… this wonderful performance in this small indie broke through with a SAG nod and he made the list today. I’m thrilled.
~Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)… can you believe this is his first nomination? I just wish it was for a better film.
~Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and Max Von Sydow... I’m so happy one of my fave films of the year finally got some love. And I was kinda shocked to see it among the 9 nominees for Best Picture.
~Moneyball grabbed more noms that The Descendants, hehe….
~W.E. got into costume design. Yes, a film by Madonna got an Oscar nod. (I just wish her Golden Globe winning song “Masterpiece” had been eligible)

Speaking of Best Song….
What the heck is wrong with that category? By having a ridiculously difficult rule of the songs needing to rate 8.5 or higher by the music branch (out of 10), only 2 songs made the cut… And the one from The Muppets wasn’t even the best song from that film…
Look at all the snubbed songs that should’ve gotten mentioned:
“Life’s a Happy Song” (The Muppets)
“Pictures in My Head” (The Muppets)
“Bridge of Light” (Happy Feet 2) by P!nk
“Hello Hello” (Gnomeo & Juliet) by Elton John
“The Living Proof” (The Help) by Mary J. Blige
“Lay Down Your Head” (Albert Nobbs) by Glenn Close, etc

So, there are just a few thoughts for you… Now, let’s see who is gonna win… I’d say The Artist is still out in front despite Hugo landing the most noms…. I still have hope for The Help too.. and Meryl better win… With that said, what are your favorite noms? And who is the worst snub? Sound off below and watch for more on the Oscars in the weeks ahead.

Hugo and The Artist Lead the Oscar Nominations!

jasonboegh — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:08:48 +0000

Kelly Clarkson vs. Barbra Streisand ~ “My Man”

jasonboegh — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:25:25 +0000

The other day I posted Kelly Clarkson’s stunning version of Coldplay’s “Fix You” from her current Stronger tour. Each night she’s doing a fan request and last night at Madison Square Garden she fittingly did a Broadway number. The avid fan of musicals expressed her desire to star in one someday and from this performance (and going all the way back to Idol performances like “Stuff Like That There“), it’s clear she will be incredible on the Great White Way. So, take a listen to Kelly doing “My Man” from Funny Girl and then see the icon herself, Barbra Streisand, do it. Which one do you like better? And what will Kelly sing at her next stop? Check back for more Kelly updates soon.
