Celebrity Gossip

I’ve always wondered how the singers on the show choose their hit american idol songs for their hit American idol tryouts. I mean we do understand that the songs have to be hits and arranged well and they have to sound at least a little similar to the originals but what makes these American idol songs so popular at american idol tryouts.

The rule is that the American idol tryouts are open to all singers and they are free to choose songs that are the right one for themselves. But alternatively, on the show organizers have a ready list with them which they give the contestants to help them choose a song. The catch is that singers have to keep the song as original as possible but still add their own unique singing skills to this.

Till now I was not really aware that the show had guidelines. The public thought that each contestant had several song guides that taught the contestants how to sing their songs. But the show has specific guidelines with American idol songs that will keep the public interested at american idol tryouts while still keeping the standard of the show.

No one really has the specific guidelines with them. But previous contestants have stated that there are guidelines that the show organizers give the contestants at the start of every episode to ensure that no one is singing the same song or a different style in the same episode.

The number of songs varies from show to show with contestants having to choose from 10 to a hundred different choices to choose from. The main rule however is that no one can pick up international hits form world famous singers like Michael Jackson, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.

The show organizers know that although these songs are internatinslly recognized they are much loved in their original version and very few contestants can compare to them. As a result unless the contestant has the vocal range to keep up with Mariah Carey’s singing; they should not pick up her songs.

Show organizers and mentors also guide and listen to the choices made by the singers to ensure that they have the perfect choice for their voices. Extra arrangements, riffs, and vocal arrangements are also added to ensure that the song is unique but is till recognizable.

Contestants are also aware of the fact that the show is ultimately ruled by the public who know simple but exciting tunes. Cross over tunes by popular artistes like males singing female songs is perfectly acceptable so long as the song is done well. But unless you can do it well, you should not do it. Take the example of Antonella Barba who sang the famous “I don’t want to miss a thing” Although she did sing it well, it was no where close to the original and neither did it impress the public.

Its not very difficult to understand; just pick a semi-popular song and stamp your character on it to make it seem your owns stysle.

If you are one of the choice few who missed the episode of tonight then you must be wondering exactly who lost on American idol tonight. The idea of the show is that every week a single contestant got kicked of the show. No one knew that such a simple show could pull on the heart strings of so many people. The show has managed to be in the top thousands with a lot of people tuning in every week to find out exactly who will get knocked out of the race.

The American idol show has shown of to the entire world that a few talented singers can really get to the top if they are talented enough. And of course the show does have a strict selection process in place that ensures that only the best get ahead. Pervious winners include great singers like Carrie Underwood and several more singers who have gone ahead to be the best in the singing profession. Its no use wondering who lost on American idol tonight or who got kicked off American idol tonight, the results are out every week.

The feud between the host and the judge Simon Cowell has hit the headlines several times with both of them sniping restlessly at each other about clothes and comments. But that should not affect the outcome of who lost on American idol tonight. Sometimes even the contestants have to wonder about who got kicked off the American idol tonight and if they are safe.

A few of the more popular choices include Alexis Grace who was voted out this time round. There was a faint hope that the judges would save her with their failsafe. But Simon announced that it was not possible and she was eliminated. A few more controversies that popped up included the accusation that Paula Abdul one of the judges was personally training the contestant to win the show in return for personal favors. But the show must go on and that accusation came to an end

Singer Sanjaya was publicly panned for his substandard singing skills but he was popular with the crowds so much that they retained him even after being disparaged at every sing-off. The singing sensation went on to make his own album and that was a huge hit. But still this is not a single occurrence. Almost every singing sensation that makes it to the semi final also becomes a popular singing star.

For people who have not managed to keep track of the show, there are several live blogs on which keep a track of the entire show and the contestant. The last contestant will be feted and yesteryear stars like Carrie Underwood will also be back for surprise performances.

There are also several performances by previous finalists who were popular but got voted out. No matter what happens you have to remember that even though several contestants are voted out almost all of them are equally good and talented and they do get ahead to promising careers in their singing life.

Let’s wait and watch for the new winner of 2009.

Avid fans of Hannah Montana have been very happy knowing that their favorite American television series and characters from this series will soon be into the big screen. Although, it will not be a Disney Channel Original Movie, many would still be waiting for it as it will be a feature-length film to be shown in cinemas. According to reports, filming of the Hannah Montana-The Movie should have started April of last year and it will be released in cinemas hopefully April of 2009.

It is said that in the movie, Miley or Miley Cyrus will be greatly overwhelmed by the popularity of Hannah Montana, her alter-ego. Then with her father and another celebrity, she will find herself in a shoe fight. Robby or Billy Ray Cyrus will then trick Miley to return to Crowley Corners, Tennessee, her hometown, so she could reflect on the happenings in her life. Miley will prefer to still be Hannah Montana but Robby won’t allow her to be.

While Miley is in her hometown, in Cowley Corners, she will spend great time with Lilly (Emily Osment) and Oliver (Mitchel Musso), her two great best friends. Then Lily’s birthday would come and at the party, Miley will attend as Hannah Montana and then will render a song “Let’s Get Crazy”. Based on the plot, she will be accompanied by Steve Rushton on the guitar and eventually she will get more attention from people than the birthday girl.

In the movie, Miley will be romantically involved with her childhood friend in her hometown, Travis Brody (Lucas Till). Robby also will be romantically involved with a girl named Melora Hardin.

Along the way, Miley will have problems with Mr. Granger, a local citizen from her hometown, who surprisingly has an idea about her two identities. Things will be so interesting as Miley faces her problems with Mr. Granger.

Somewhere down the road, Miley will realize that she loves more staying in Tennessee than to be her alter-ego Hannah Montana.

The plot is so interesting and would surely captivate hearts of many young girls’ who have fallen in love with the American television series Hannah Montana.

Jennifer Lopez is the be all, end all when it comes to beautiful women. There is absolutely none hotter. This writing is dedicated to bringing you the best of Jennifer Lopez biography and information. I promise you that is exactly what you will get.

Jennifer is hot enough, however, that you should take a moment to actually learn about her. That’s right, you should know a bit about the woman other than just her amazing T&A (an obvious emphasis is placed on her beautifully round and scrumptious A)!

Jennifer Lynn Lopez was born in the Bronx in NY on July 24, 1969. It would be years later that she would eventually transform into the worldwide sensation that is known as J. Lo. Whatever she chooses to call herself is absolutely irrelevant as far as I’m concerned. Jennifer Lopez is the definition of sexy. Jennifer’s mother, Guadalupe is a kindergarten teacher and her father, David Lopez is a computer specialist.

Their union led to the birth of the absolute sexiest star on earth. Coming up, Jennifer went to Catholic schooling. She finished from an all girls school called Preston High School. Her parents must have been smart as hell for that! If I had a daughter as attractive as Jennifer Lopez, I’d do my best to keep her away from boys too!

Jennifer was always into dancing. She actually began to pay for professional dancing lessons for herself at the age of 19. This would lead to her showing up in a few rap videos and also being cast eventually to the show In Living Color. That show was hilarious, but in my opinion, Jennifer just about stole it while she was dancing with her team.

Her acting debut in the 1995 flick My Family. We didn’t have to wait long to see Jennifer Lopez naked, however because her next flick was Money Train starring opposite Wesley Snipes. There’d be a few other times that we’d get the supreme pleasure that is seeing Jennifer Lopez nude video and film since. Whether clothed or not, on thing that is for certain is that Jennifer is a humongous success with all that she does.

It should come as no surprise that Jennifer is a very well paid actress. She is actually one of the highest paid in Hollywood. This is a great accomplishment when you consider her beginnings. From not a lot at all, to basically the most powerful Latina actress in the world is something to be proud about!

Did I mention her music? I don’t think so. Jennifer has had a successful recording career as well. Successful might actually be an understatement. She has pushed over 50 million albums worldwide!

Teen star Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Leticia and Billy Ray Cyrus the country musician. She was born on November 23 1992 with the name Destiny Cyrus, but got the nickname Miley because she was always smiling!

Miley began acting from an early age, starring in her dad’s show “Doc” from the age of nine and in “Big Fish” starring Ewan McGregor and directed by legendary director Tim Burton.

At age 12, Miley auditioned for two roles on the Disney company’s new teen sitcom “Hannah Montana” - both for the lead role and also as the lead character’s best friend. However, Disney casting directors thought she was “too young and too small” for the role and wouldn’t be able to handle the stress of filming such a large show.

But Miley was detirmined to land one of the parts and begged the Disney executives to re-consider casting her. After some discussion, the executives decided to overcome their previous concerns and cast Miley in the lead role of Hannah Montana. They even cast Miley’s real dad Billy Ray as her dad in the show too!

In the show, Miley plays the character Miley Stewart, who has a secret double life as the international popstar Hannah Montana. Miley keeps this a secret from everyone except her family and two best friends!

Because of the Hannah Montana show, Miley Cyrus has risen from almost nobody to international stardom in just three years. Since starring in the Disney TV show, Miley has also starred in Disney Channel’s TV movie “The Emporer’s New School” and provided the voice of Penny in Disney’s major new animated movie “Bolt.” She also had a brief appearance in “High School Musical 2.”

Miley Cyrus also starred in the recent Hannah Montana concert-movie “The Best Of Both Worlds” and continues to perform as Hannah Montana at live events all around the world.

For the future, Miley has lots of acting projects under development. Some include a movie-length Hannah Montana film (based on the show’s characters not the music) and a sequel to the 70s movie “Adventures in Babysitting” which is due out in 2010 starring another teen star Raven-Symone!

Now that she has starred in Hannah Montana for a few years Miley is keen to shake off her teen starlet image. Only the future will tell whether she’ll be able to focus on more serious acting and music projects!

You may have already heard of the hit American television series Hannah Montana. By far, it is one of the most well-known television series that have captured the hearts of many teens and young adults. Mainly, the series focuses on a girl who lives a double life as an average teenage school girl by day and as a famous pop singer by night. Girl’s name as an average teenage girl is Miley Stewart played by Miley Cyrus and as a famous pop singer is Hannah Montana. Many of the girl’s close friends and family members didn’t know her real identity which actually makes everything very exciting.

The series debuted on March 24, 2006 on Disney Channel and became an Emmy Award-nominee.

The Best of Both Worlds - Hannah Montana Concert Tour

The television series gained great popularity. It got very high ratings and the concerts for Hannah Montana have also been very popular. In fact, tickets for every concert were all sold out with some sold at very high price.

The concert was brought to many places and was entitled “The Best of Both Worlds”, which reflects the dual character of the girl in the series. The concert was choreographed, created and directed by Kenny Ortega, the director and choreographer of The Cheetah Girls 2, High School Musical, and High School Musical 2. Many prominent people supported the concert, even the former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich did who later said he watched every episode.

The dolls have actually been famous Christmas toys since 2007. These dolls are so enjoyable and playable. They come as fashion dolls and singing dolls with names such as Jake Ryan, Oliver, and Lilly. They can usually sing and come with a beautiful holiday keepsake in a gift box, replaceable and fashionable clothes, stand, and real hair play for more fun and and entertainment.

You may love hannah montana music, but what do you know about the show and its famous star, Miley Cyrus? The show’s first filming in Malibu, California took place in December, 2005 and the first episode aired about three months later in March, 2006. Miley’s house on the show is the same house from the show, Diagnosis Murder (about a crime-solving doctor), which starred Dick Van Dyke and first aired when Miley Cyrus was not quite one year old!

The title of every episode of Hannah Montana is inspired by a famous pop song. For example, “Don’t Go Breaking My Tooth” (in which Miley is afraid to go to the dentist) is like “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”, by Elton John and Kiki Dee.

Though kids everywhere love the stories of the character Miley Stewart and the other side of her, Hannah Montana, it’s hannah montana music that really made Miley Cyrus and her show famous. The original Hannah Montana soundtrack made history by becoming the first TV soundtrack to ever reach #1 on the charts. It sold 281,000 copies in the first week alone, and a total of 1.6 million copies in just two months.

The Hannah Montana soundtrack showed the powerful influence kids have on the music industry. Both kids and parents like hannah montana music for different reasons. Kids like it because it’s modern and fun, and they love Miley’s voice. Parents like it because of the positive messages in the songs. They don’t have to worry about what their kids are listening to.

Actually, the stars of Hannah Montana have been making hit music long before the show ever got its start. On the show, Miley Stewart’s dad, Robbie Stewart, is played by Miley Cyrus’s real-life dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. He became a heartthrob in the ’90s for his country-pop crossover hit, “Achy Breaky Heart”.

Originally, Miley Cyrus auditioned for the role of Hannah’s best friend, Lilly. Disney encouraged Miley to re-audition for the role of Hannah, and she got the part, beating 1000 other girls! Her character’s name was then changed from Zoe Stewart to Miley Stewart. Emily Osment (sister of The Sixth Sense star, Haley Joel Osment) got the role of Lilly. During breaks on the set, Miley taught Emily the guitar and Emily taught Miley knitting.

On Episode 1 of Hannah Montana, Hannah is 13, though a reporter calls her a “14-year-old sensation”. It has also been said that the Hannah/Miley character is one year younger than the real Miley. Still, Miley Cyrus herself is a very young girl to show so much talent. She helped make Hannah Montana and hannah montana music wildly successful between the ages of only 13 and 16!
