| Mash-Up DJ Psyched For Carrie Underwood/ Randy Travis 'American Idol' Duet Posted: 18 Mar 2009 07:03 AM PDT Jesse Tack created an unofficial hit version of the song in January.
When Jesse Tack's boss came to him in January and asked him to try and blend Carrie Underwood's cover of Randy Travis' 1988 hit "I Told You So" — from her 2007 Carnival Ride album — with the original, Tack never imagined that his creation would lead to an "American Idol" moment. But there it was Wednesday night (March 18) on the "Idol" stage, where Underwood and Travis got together for the live debut of the recently recorded, official version of the duet. And Tack couldn't have been prouder. Soon after Underwood's single version of "I Told You So" dropped in early January, Tack, 26, who works the 7 p.m.-to-midnight shift at Cincinnati country station WUBE-FM (B105.1), got a request from his program director to work on a mash-up. Six hours later, Tack emerged with a blend of the two songs that was seamless, combining Travis' low-register vocals to Underwood's higher voice on the chorus. The song was an instant hit on the station when it debuted on January 14, and when country music consultant Jaye Albright got her hands on it, she sent it out to 75 other stations she works with. "After I put it together in the studio, within five seconds I thought, 'This is going to be something special,' " said the Iowa-born Tack, whose identical-twin brother, Joey Tack, is a hip-hop radio DJ in Tennessee. The phones at 'UBE lit up instantly. Tack said he began getting calls from all over the country every night from listeners and DJs praising his work and asking for copies. To date, the YouTube video he created has gotten nearly 100,000 views, but the biggest compliment was when Tack found out the country superstars would be performing the song on "Idol" and had recorded an official version. He hasn't heard from either artist so far about his grassroots experiment, but Tack can't help but feel like he helped get the ball rolling. "My hope was that they would record it as a duet, and they have," he said on Tuesday. Tack said he was going to be stuck at work when the show aired, but he would definitely take a break to tune in and that he'd be recording it at home, where he suspected he would probably watch it a "couple hundred" times. "There will be a bit part of me thinking, 'C'mon, they wouldn't have done this because of some little station in Cincinnati doing a version,' " he said. "But then I'll think back to the hundreds and hundreds of e-mails I've gotten, and I have to think that some of those stations playing it have to have talked to the labels and asked about an official remix or duet. "It will be unbelievable," Tack said of seeing the his outlaw creation's official spawn, which will be made available for download right after the show and debut on country radio next week. "I'll have to wonder if I had not put that together, would they be singing it onstage?"

| Army Plans To Phase Out 'Stop-Loss' Practice Posted: 18 Mar 2009 07:51 AM PDT Defense Secretary Robert Gates says holding soldiers 'against their will ... is just not the right thing to do.'
The Army plans to phase out the "stop-loss" practice — which keeps soldiers on duty beyond their obligation — by 2011, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Wednesday (March 18). Soldiers who continue to serve under the policy will be offered extra pay, Gates said. Some 13,000 soldiers are serving under the policy, and the goal is to reduce that number by 50 percent by 2010, with the practice all but eliminated by 2011. "I felt, particularly in these numbers, that it was breaking faith," Gates said at a Pentagon news conference. "To hold them against their will ... is just not the right thing to do." The unpopular stop-loss policy was addressed in MTV's Bill of Rights for American Veterans, or BRAVE, a petition introduced in October that urged the next president (who turned out to be Barack Obama) to raise awareness and support veterans' issues. The fifth item on the petition, "Pay the Troops for the Work They Do," asked the next administration to insure that troops who have been stop-lossed get paid an additional $1,500 a month. Effective this month, the Army will pay soldiers who are under stop-loss an extra $500 per month, Gates said. Congress authorized the payments in October, so they will be retroactive to then. Stop-loss began with a 1990 executive order, which gave the defense secretary the authority to hold on to or bring back from retirement military personnel deemed essential to U.S. national security. It was used during the 1990-91 Persian Gulf War and again after the 2001 terrorist attacks.

| President Obama's NCAA Picks: How Do They Stack Up Against Busta Rhymes' And Fabolous'? Posted: 18 Mar 2009 12:20 AM PDT Interestingly, the commander-in-chief's picks align with those of some hip-hop luminaries!
President Obama's taste in sports teams mirrors that of some of your favorite hip-hop artists. This morning, ESPN ran Barack Obama's picks for the upcoming NCAA tournament. Obama filled out a full bracket from the field of 64 teams and chose a winner for each game. The Prez's picks for the coveted Final Four spots were the Louisville Cardinals, Memphis Tigers, North Carolina Tar Heels and the Pittsburgh Panthers. So who does the commander in chief expect to be greeting at the White House in several weeks as NCAA champions? Michael Jordan's alma mater, UNC. Obama's choices echo those of hit-making producer Ron Browz. Browz, the beatmaker behind "Pop Champagne," "Rotate" and the classic dis record "Ether," also chose North Carolina, Memphis, Louisville and Pittsburgh as his Final Four teams with the Tar Heels reigning victorious. Busta Rhymes, on the other hand, said it's too early to choose a champion, but he did give his choices for the Final Four: Pittsburgh, North Carolina, Louisville and the Connecticut Huskies. Fabolous didn't have a full roster of who he thinks will make it to the Final Four yet -- however, he agrees the Tar Heels are unbeatable. "I'm gonna go with North Carolina," the Brooklyn MC said. "I like their players, and they're a hard team to beat when they get going." "I think N.C. is gonna win," Capone of Capone-N-Noreaga concurred. The NCAA tournament kicks off Thursday (March 19), launching what is known to college basketball fans as March Madness. Related Artists |
| 'American Idol' Recap: Adam Lambert Confuses, Anoop Desai Shines On Country Night Posted: 18 Mar 2009 06:28 AM PDT Lambert's 'Ring of Fire' rendition throws judges for a loop.
Country nights on "American Idol" are often the great equalizer. And Tuesday's Grand Ole Opry-themed show was no different, with such seeming also-rans as Anoop Desai and Matt Giraud stealing the show, while front-runners Danny Gokey and Lil Rounds hit their first real speed bumps of the competition. And Adam Lambert? Well, as usual he just kind of confused and delighted (almost) everyone with another over-the-top performance. With genial mentor and country music legend Randy Travis giving them guidance, the 11 remaining contestants mostly chose contemporary country hits, with Texan Michael Sarver up first, taking a swing at Garth Brooks' challenging "Ain't Going Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)." He managed to wrap his tongue around the boot-scooter with an avalanche of lyrics, though at times he seemed like he was going to run out of breath trying to cram all the words in.
Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson liked the fun song choice, but weren't sure it really showed off anything new in Sarver's vocal chops or range, and Simon Cowell complained that he couldn't understand the words. "You could have been singing in Norwegian," he griped, calling the performance clumsy and saying that Sarver came over as a likeable country karaoke singer worth a 1.2 on a 10 point scale. Teenager Allison Iraheta is known for her rocking vocals, but she easily adapted her preternaturally mature voice to Patty Loveless' "Blame It on Your Heart," tossing some twang into her gritty tone. "I am starting to think you could sing the alphabet and sing it well," Kara said, praising Iraheta for bringing her unique spin to the song. Simon liked it, though he thought it was a bit tuneless at times, adding, "You're rock solid, verging on precocious ... precocious is good." Randy said it was "dope!" Kris Allen went for a Bob Dylan tune famously covered by Brooks, "Make You Feel My Love," tapping into the sensitive ballad's emotion and reworking the tune into a candlelit, Elton John-style piano weeper, complete with a soaring falsetto note at the end. Paula was pleasantly surprised, calling it an "honest, pure, vulnerable" performance with a few pitch problems, but a smart choice overall. For Simon, in a word, it was terrific, a great choice of song in which Allen took control and provided the first glimpse that he might have a shot at winning the competition. Perhaps the biggest challenge of the night was for Lil Rounds, who admitted she knew very little about country music. She chose Martina McBride's challenging "Independence Day," bringing some soulful energy to it after coming out a bit tentative at first, then soaring into the chorus, which she turned into a cowboy gospel wail. Randy called the song choice "interesting and ambitious," and said the front end was a bit iffy and the whole thing felt a bit uncomfortable. Kara gave her props for not picking the obvious choice (like, say, Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You"), and Simon, repeatedly referring her to as "Little," said, "It kind of came over as if you were one of those girls who have to sing at a wedding and are forced to sing a song someone has requested and felt and looked uncomfortable." Another front-runner who seemed likely to be tested on the country night was Broadway rocker Adam Lambert, who chose Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," which he gave a Middle Eastern flair that threw Travis for a major loop. With finger cymbals and a snaking guitar line guiding him, Lambert wailed the song in his signature falsetto, as if performing in an Egyptian country-and-western bar. Kara said the whole thing was a bit strange and confusing but that she kind of enjoyed it, while Paula likened it to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir." "What the hell was that?" Simon wondered, calling the performance "absolute indulgent rubbish ... really, really horrific." Travis thought Scott MacIntyre's decision to cover "Wild Angels" by Martina McBride was a bad one, but when Mac got behind the grand piano, he seemed comfortable with the song's uplifting, spiritual message, easily transitioning from the ballad-like intro to a more rocking finish. Paula called it another impressive performance, but said she's starting to feel that the piano is becoming a crutch and that MacIntyre needs to engage the audience more. Simon completely disagreed, calling Abdul's comments "stupid," setting off a tense argument on the panel about whether MacIntyre should stand up and sing something a bit different or stay behind the ivories. Alexis Grace picked Dolly Parton's iconic "Jolene," giving the song an urgent feel with her husky, forceful vocals. Randy loved it despite the pitch problems, but said the attempt to bend it in a bluesy direction didn't work. Paula didn't mind the pitch problems and appreciated seeing the softer side of Grace, though Simon said it sounded too much like Parton's version and was forgettable. Maybe we were onto something with our story last week about the competition's Christian singers: It was hard to ignore worship leader Danny Gokey's pointed choice of Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel." One of this year's front-runners, Gokey struggled to get the tempo right in rehearsals, but by the time he hit the stage he applied his signature soulful vocals to the car-crash ballad, coming out tentative at first and then exploding into the chorus with his powerhouse gospel-edged wails. "When you hit your stride, it's like none other," Kara said, though she called the front end unspectacular. Paula disagreed, saying Gokey hit the right balance. Despite their ugly fight earlier in the night, Simon agreed with Paula, saying he liked the shading, but hated Gokey's white "polar expedition" jacket. And then there was Anoop Desai, who admitted country was not really his forte. 'Noop Dogg tried "Always on My Mind," slowing down the tune Willie Nelson famously covered and turning it into a winning, velvety R&B ballad. "Anoop is back!" Paula said, praising Desai's interpretation of the tune after his failure to capture the magic during Michael Jackson week. Simon praised him for going from "zero to hero," with one of his favorite performances of the night, even going so far as to take back last week's criticism that Desai didn't deserve to be in the competition. Megan Joy Corkrey got into her comfort zone with Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight," giving the country classic her signature twist, with a jazzy, quavering 1940s vocal, some hip swivels and a big, bright smile. Randy expected it to be a train wreck but was quite impressed. "Perfect song, perfect look," Kara said, praising Corkrey's elegant styling and ability to overcome a nasty flu to perform so well despite a visit to the hospital. The night ended with Matt Giraud, who chose Underwood's "So Small" and sat down at the piano for another one of his blue-eyed-soul tours de force, adding some grit to the ballad. "You're an artist, you're a true talent, your heart pours on that piano, you worked the dynamics of that song ... amazing," Kara said. Simon added that he didn't think Giraud has gotten enough credit for his vocals to date and thought that although he's similar to Gokey, he outsang the competition and gave one of the night's best performances. Following the elimination Wednesday night (March 18), which will feature a duet between Underwood and Travis and a performance from Brad Paisley, the remaining 10 contestants will have secured their spots on this summer's "Idol" tour.

| Rick Ross Album Preview: <I>Deeper Than Rap</I> Is 'The Best Music Of My Career' Posted: 18 Mar 2009 08:43 AM PDT Rapper's third LP features Nas, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Kanye West -- and 50 Cent dis record.
Does Rick Ross have dimples under his signature woolly beard? The Boss has been smiling ear to ear for about a year now. Last year around this time, he released his second consecutive #1 LP, Trilla, notifying the rap world that it was no fluke he received accolades on his first go-round, Port of Miami.
Then that picture leaked to the Internet: the photo of Ross wearing a security-guard uniform. The cyberspace chatter was that the Miami Don was a flat-out liar and the photo contradicted everything — guns, drugs, hustlin' — Rick rapped about. On the street level, though, Ross' fans either didn't care or turned a blind eye. He's maintained support. They came to his shows, downloaded his mixtapes and kept requesting his hit "Here I Am" on the radio. Several weeks ago Ross made what some thought could be a potentially career-jeopardizing move, starting a beef with hip-hop battle knockout-king 50 Cent. Tussling with 50 on the mic hasn't proved fruitful for plenty of guys. He's helped put rappers' careers either on ice or in deep freeze. During his back-and-forth with Ross, Fif has launched a full-on Internet campaign. He brought in both mothers of Ross' children and threatened Rick's friends. The gloves are not just off, they're in a trunk, buried somewhere under a vacant lot in Jamaica, Queens. Everything's a go in this war. While 50 has dropped an occasional dis record, he's relied on video (porno movies, vlogs of shopping sprees, etc.) as his ammo. Ross has chosen leaked songs from his album and freestyles as his weapons. Bottom line, though, we all know that the real winner is going to be whoever has the better album: 50, with Before I Self Destruct, or Ross, with Deeper Than Rap. Tuesday night at New York's Tribeca Grand Hotel, Ross unveiled the majority of the songs from his April 21 opus. Make no mistake, if the music were trash, Rick would be in more trouble than the average rapper with a wack album. But the down-South brawler couldn't stop grinning because he knows how strong his material is. It sounds like Deeper Than Rap is well on its way to being a rap classic of 2009. "I'm making the best music of my career," said Ross, holding a glass of champagne for most of the night. With media, bloggers, DJs and various other industry insiders ready to listen, Ross began. Scenes from Mafia flicks played on a movie screen while his cinematic music played out of the speakers. "It's not only a single, its statement [is] that the situation is 'Magnificent,' " Ross said of the album's lead cut. "The event is history," he later proclaimed of the listening session. "Feel free to enjoy the images you about to see." First up was "In Cold Blood," in which the big beat sounded like the soundtrack to a Mob war. Trumpets, horns! Ross' lyrics matched. "In the midst of the war I p--s on graves," he rapped. "Sued Louis on my feet and I never missed a heartbeat." Meanwhile, highlights from "King of New York" played for the audience's eyes. Former G-Unit ally Bang 'Em Smurf is featured on the song, speaking towards the end of the track. "Usual Suspects" was one of the night's most anticipated songs. Ross has proven his skills with the best of them, rapping on tracks throughout his career with the likes of Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe and T.I. How would he do with the legendary Nas? Ross started off the song rapping about his plight to get to the top from age 17. "Too cool for lame dudes to ridicule," Ross rapped before declaring himself the "black Phil Drummond" (from "Diff'rent Strokes"). Nas came in singing his own praises. "My talent has yet to be challenged," he boasted. Esco then turned towards his past. "I used to stand on rooftops with two Glocks thinking, 'How do I turn my Timbalands to Crocs?' " Meanwhile, clips of the film "The Usual Suspects" played on the screen. "Club-hoppin' in Cali, shoutout to Harry O," Ross added. "Run with n---as destined to catch a life sentences." "Throwing money 'cause I can and I love it," went the chorus. "From nothin' to somethin', you know us, we the usual suspects." "Maybach Music 2" has no lack of stars, with T-Pain on the hook and Lil Wayne and Kanye West with guest verses. "I am the sh-- and this is my commode/ Uh-oh, there they go talking about your boy's clothes extra tight/ I just remember that my limelight extra bright," Kanye raps. "Realest sh-- I ever wrote, chillin in my Maybach," Pain sings. "Whatever I send y'all homie, I'mma make back ... I'm in it to win, n---as can't take that." Ross stunts on his verse. "Now I got so many horses, bitches call me Polo," he raps. "I was barely getting pretty women, now I'm scooping any winner like kitty litter." Wayne compares the high-priced vehicle to the human anatomy then unleashes his swag. "All black Maybach, I'm sitting in the a--hole / Classier than a mutha, still gutta like a bad cold ... Sweet as banana split every time I peel through/ Fresher than Will Smith and Uncle Phil too... Lil Wayne in one word immaculate." That record actually got applause afterwards. Ross also played records that are out now, including "Mafia Music," "Cigar Music" and "On Top of the World," on which he starts off speaking of the riches of coke-dealing then faces inner turmoil because he realizes he's "not living right." But his duet with Mary J. Blige and his 50 Cent dis record, "Schindler's List," were left out. "I wouldn't be a boss if I didn't leave you a few surprises," Ross said. Related Artists |
| Carrie Underwood, Randy Travis To Debut Duet On 'American Idol' Posted: 17 Mar 2009 11:51 PM PDT Country singers will perform 'I Told You So' in public for first time Wednesday night.
"American Idol" alum Carrie Underwood and country superstar Randy Travis — who was the mentor on this week's show — are fast friends. Underwood paid homage to Travis on her hit 2007 album Carnival Ride by covering his 1988 #1 classic "I Told You So." Travis returned the favor in March last year when he snuck up onstage as she was performing the song at the Grand Ole Opry and invited her to join the venerable country organization. She was inducted two months later by Garth Brooks and, at 26, is the Opry's youngest member. Underwood, who recorded a cover of Mötley Crüe's "Home Sweet Home" to be the farewell song on this season of "Idol," will return to the show's stage Wednesday night (March 18) to debut the official version of her "I Told You So" duet with Travis, three months after a plucky country radio DJ in Cincinnati created a bootleg mash-up of the two versions. The unofficial duet was created by 26-year-old country radio jock Jesse Tack in January, after his boss at Cincinnati's WUBE-FM (B105.1) suggested he try to marry the two versions together. Since its debut on UBE in January, the song has spread to more than 200 stations nationwide and spawned a YouTube video that has been seen more than 100,000 times, according to Tack. "I'll be watching it while I'm on the air," said Tack, who works the 7 p.m.-to-midnight shift but will have a TV near him when the song is performed on Wednesday night's show. "There will be a part of me thinking, 'C'mon, they wouldn't have done this because of some little station in Cincinnati doing a version.' But then I'll think back to the hundreds and hundreds of e-mails I've gotten, and I have to think that some of those stations playing it have to have talked to the labels and asked about an official remix or duet." And sure enough, following the first live performance of the recently recorded duet, it will be available for download after the show, and it will officially hit country radio next week. "I am so excited that two of my musical passions, 'American Idol' and the Grand Ole Opry, are joining together to create a really special week of music," Underwood said in a statement announcing her appearance on the show. "I am always thrilled to return to the 'Idol' stage and am so proud to this time be bringing with me one of my heroes, Randy Travis. I knew the Opry first, but 'Idol' gave me my start and helped lead me to the Opry stage. It's a great feeling to be able to help bring these two worlds together." "It will be unbelievable," Tack said of seeing the official spawn of his outlaw creation. "I'm sure they'll do a great job, and I can't wait to see it, and I can't wait to see those two onstage."

| Kanye West Charged In Airport Altercation Posted: 18 Mar 2009 03:05 AM PDT Rapper could face up to two years and six months in jail for three misdemeanor counts.
Kanye West was charged with three misdemeanor counts Wednesday (March 18) stemming from an alleged airport altercation with paparazzi in September, according to the Los Angeles Times. West was cleared of all charges last year by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. Six months after the rapper's dustup with TMZ photographers, however, the Los Angeles city attorney hit West with new charges, including vandalism, battery and grand theft. The DA's office initially pursued felony charges against West before dropping everything. In September, West and his road manager, Don "Don C." Crowley, were involved in a scuffle with TMZ photographers while waiting for a flight to Honolulu. While walking through the terminal, West and Crowley were met by a photographer and videographer for the gossip site who captured the rapper on camera. An altercation ensued between the four men, and video posted on TMZ.com at the time showed West grabbing a camera and throwing it to the ground, smashing it. Crowley also engaged in a scuffle with a photographer and threw a camera to the ground. Crowley has been charged with two counts of vandalism, two counts of grand theft and two counts of battery. If convicted on all counts, West could face up to two years and six months in jail, while Crowley could face up to five years in jail. West blogged about the incident after being cleared, claiming he doesn't have a problem with the paparazzi but that the particular photographer crossed the line. "I'm cool with the paparazzi," he wrote. "This guy wasn't cool. I gotta work now. ... I'll rant later!" [This story was originally published at 2:51 p.m. ET on 03.09.2009] Related Artists |
| Nick Cannon Denies That Mariah Carey's Wedding Ring Left Him Broke Posted: 18 Mar 2009 09:26 AM PDT 'I just got like 3 new major multi-million dollar deals in the last 2 months,' actor blogs.
Nick Cannon took to his blog Tuesday to fire back at bloggers who have suggested that he's broke and is being sued by the jeweler that he bought wife Mariah Carey's wedding ring from. A rep for Cannon verified to MTV News on Wednesday (March 18) that Cannon's comments were written by him. "I guess yesterday was 'Hate Nick Cannon Day'! Hahaha!" he wrote. "The Blogosphere had my name ringing all over the Google alerts. That is why I am so thankful to have my own site and blog so I can give y'all the real. If it wasn't the madness about my e-mails to people, or more pregnancy rumors, it was this craziness on the oh so credible, BOSSIP about me being broke and being sued by my jeweler! Ridiculous! I just got like 3 new major multi-million dollar deals in the last 2 months. And I ain't even finish yet... But now I'm broke, okay!" Multiple blogs posted information earlier this week that Cannon's financial affairs were suffering. The items suggested he's being sued for half a million dollars for Carey's unpaid wedding band. Also, according to "sources" the gossip blogs are attributing the information to, Cannon has settled the lawsuit by agreeing to pay installments on the ring. Cannon dismissed all the rumors. "Where do these people get this stuff? First off, I wish my wife's ring did only cost $500,000, that would have been a deal!," he wrote. "Do your research and you will see how much I really paid for it. I don't like to disclose or brag about those things because it's not really anyone's business but it was quite public what I PAID. Mostly because when my wife and I first got married people were lying and saying the ring was used or that I re-gifted it! LMFAO. So after we cleared that up, almost a year later they come with some more ring drama. Well since my anniversary is coming up I think I might just have to by a whole new joint for my beautiful wife, just to STUNT! And as for the payment plan thing, I wish that was true or possible!! Sh--, it's a recession, I would take a lay-away plan in a minute! Hahhaahaa!!" Cannon ended his blog post on a serious note, by declaring his love for Carey and his reason for treating her to such fancy jewelry. "But one thing that is true, I would spend every last dime that I have ever made on my wife, she deserves to be showered with extraordinary gifts and as long as I live I will spend all my money on her and never touch a dime of hers," Cannon wrote. Cannon and Carey celebrate their first wedding anniversary next month. The pair were married April 30 last year after a whirlwind courtship. Related Artists |
| Jonas Brothers Say Tour Will Be Different From 3-D Movie Posted: 17 Mar 2009 11:05 PM PDT 'This is something brand-new,' Kevin Jonas promises of summer jaunt, featuring Jordin Sparks and Honor Society.
It seems like the Jonas Brothers are everywhere these days, and with a summer tour set to kick off in June, they'll soon be coming to a city near you. But with a 3-D movie out that captures the guys' last tour on film, what incentive do fans have to come out and check the guys out this time around? "This is something brand-new," Kevin Jonas promised Wednesday (March 18). "We've never embarked on an in-the-round tour. The new songs on the new record are very exciting for us. For us, for all the opportunities we get, we're astonished every day. To be able to visit so many people ourselves will be very great." The guys will be touring with "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks and Honor Society, whom the Jonas Brothers said they were "excited" to hit the road with. The band also has plans to meet fans on the tour, saying that if you stop by the Honor Society meet-and-greet, there's a good chance you could meet a JoBro as well. "For us, it's always about finding alternative ways to meet our fans," Nick Jonas said. "It's about finding different ways to do it. It's about getting creative." One pair of fans who should have no trouble meeting the guys on tour are the band's most famous followers, Sasha and Malia Obama. "I'm sure if they would like to come, there wouldn't be any problem getting tickets," Nick said. "And I'm sure they can get their own tickets magically."
