New Layout, New Year

Today is the last day of the year 2009! Can you believe it? I sure can't. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is preparing for an awesome New Year!
I made a new banner for the upcoming season of American Idol. I put some of my favorites in there and their music is in the playlist. Hope you enjoy it!
I don't know how long I'll be keeping this banner though, I'll probably make some different ones when the season gets started with different cover art from all the different Idols.

New Banner

Sorry...I know...it's been a while! But Christmas is soon here and I have a lot to catch up on. Today we'll start with a new banner and some music reviews.

I found this picture from the banner on Disney Dude Entertainment last year so props to them!

Well, tons of music has come out. Emily Osment's single came out. She does an awesome re-invention of the song "Run, Rudolph, Run". Mitchel Musso also re-invented "Jingle Bell Rock". It's the classic lyrics but adds his signature on the end of it.

One of my favorite Christmas CD's is SHeDaisy's "Brand New Year". Do you remember them? They had a ton of drama going on a few years ago and then they made a movie. Well, this is such an amazing Christmas album. They do a few originals and then put their spin on some classics to make it their own. My favorite is a mash-up of Hark the Angels and Carol of the Bells. They fuse the two songs beautifully and effortlessly.

David Archuleta's Christmas CD came out in October but I got it late last month. It's pure Christmas spirit. He does a duet on the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and I really like it as a duet. It's not a Christmas song that you imagine a duet working.

Bianca Ryan also released a Christmas EP this year. She won the first season of America's Got Talent when she was eleven. Now she's fifteen and even more of an amazing singer. She's really grown into a better artist and all her songs are great. It consists of five songs with two of them being originals. She also sings the song "When Christmas Comes to Town" from Polar Express. It's one of my favorite Christmas songs and it's really good sung by just one person.

I'll review more songs tomorrow and maybe some Christmas shows and specials! See you then!

New Layout

Hey, I'm back! I put up a whole new layout and banner. I made this Christmasy Canp Rock 2 poster. I really like it and I hope you do too. I'll be back in the swing of things soon and be reviewing your favorite songs, movies and shows just in time for the Holidays! Merry Christmas!

Under Construction

Sorry...but I'm trying to get a new template up so it might be a while! Thanks for sticking around!

Free Katharine McPhee Song!

This week on iTunes, Katharine McPhee's new Christmas single "I'll Be Home For Christmas" is available for free through iTunes Discovery Download! She gives an awesome spin on the classic. She is an amazing singer and her voice meshes with the song perfect. I really liked the art for it too, but I found this one on Coverlandia and liked it even better because it matches her other single art. Thanks Coverlandia!

Katharine's other Christmas single "O Come All Ye Faithful" is available on iTunes as well for the low price of 99 cents. It's worth the money! Trust me!

Glee "Last Christmas"

Last week, the cast of Glee released their Christmas single of "Last Christmas". I really like this song. The Ashley Tisdale version is really good, but I have to say that this one is better. It's really cool to hear this song sung by a girl and a guy. It's almost a duet, but not. And then they give it the Glee Cast spin to make it like a show tune. Seriously, a major Christmas favorite. And the best part is, the proceeds from the song all go to charity! A great song for a great cause! Why not? So go to iTunes and get your copy!

David Archuleta "Christmas from the Heart" Review

I got David A's Christmas CD the other day and it is amazing! It is pure Christmas spirit! His voice is pure and just so good. My favorite songs are "Pat-a-Pan" and "Melodies of Christmas". "Pat-a-Pan" isn't an original but you hardly ever hear it. It has a really cool beat to it and some instrumental work that really add to it. "Melodies of Christmas" is the only original on the album. It's really cool how they added some classic Christmas song lyrics in the song.
My only problem with the CD is that I wish they had done some faster songs. Something full of spirit in the pop David style. But it's really good. Go get your copy wherever CDs are sold! But good luck finding it! I got the last one at a Barnes & Noble.
P.S. I don't like the original art for the album so I found this one and put it to my iPod. Thanks Snarky Archies!
