When American Idol premiered in 2001, it literally changed the face of the music industry. American Idol made the public realize their voice counted and they could choose who would be the next super-star. It was no coincidence when around that time, Indie labels and digital download sites such as iTunes and Rhapsody began to dominate sales. No longer did the public need to rely on traditional radio and brick and mortar music stores to supply them with new music. This has caused great concern inside the major record label companies. Will major-labels recover? They might. Nevertheless, the labels know they need to revamp their systems and start looking at their talent and audiences in a new way if they want to Read More |

American Idol premiered this season with high expectations from the audience and critics as well as record setting ratings. Despite all the fan fair and funny moments, American Idol had too much of a bad thing this year, humiliating people beyond what is tolerable. Paula Abdul was her usual tactful self, offering a lot of encouragement to music industry hopefuls and Randy Jackson remained calm despite some obvious flaws in performance techniques to say the least, but Simon Cowell was his usual tactless self (part of the shows appeal). While this "judge" can't help but wonder if many of those "real" performances were attempts to gain one minutes worth of fame, some of the wise cracks about the physical appeara Read More |

Pay-for-Play, otherwise known as payola, was a common practice until it was banned decades ago. Nevertheless, the practice has been alive and well in the music industry. By using a third-party loophole, otherwise known as an independent music promoter, music industry executives have been able to fly under the government's radar until recently. The cost of being detected? Millions and millions of dollars and many music executives jobs (not to mention the reputation of many artists who fell under the payola umbrella). The latest payola scandal has been settled, with Entercom agreeing to fork out $4.25 million as well as making a number of changes in their procedures. This leads to the ever-growing question loomi Read More |

The 49th Annual Grammy Award nominees have been announced and Mary J. Blige is leading the pack. With eight nods under her belt this year, if she wins them all, she could set a record. All the ballots have been turned in and the polls are closed. Because ballots are tabulated in secrecy, and the information is more secure than the Pentagon, it's anybody's guess who the winners are. The awards ceremony will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA and televised on CBS, February 11 from 8 - 11:30 PM (PST / EST).Other nominees include: While many artists and bands were nominated for a Grammy this year, several artists and bands were no Read More |

| How to Celebrate Your Life Back into Love in Minutes |
"Celebration," according to dictionary.com, means, "To observe an occasion with appropriate ceremony or festivity." When we first begin a relationship with someone, we celebrate him or her constantly. Every time the phone rings, our heart jumps with joyous celebration. A night or day on the town with them becomes a celebration of time well invested. Each passing day we get to know them with deeper understanding, we celebrate their wondrous qualities. These qualities endear them to us, and we eventually make a decision to keep them in our lives permanently, because they have so many fundamentally important attributes we hold dear. During this time, we overlook certain things that seem triv Read More |

| Lonely Holiday Blues Buster |
"Tis the season to be jolly" or is it? The holidays are supposed to be a joyous time of year, filled with hope for the future and optimism for humanity. With movies like "Miracle on 34th St," "White Christmas," and "A Christmas Story" beaming holiday cheer into our houses and memories of childhood dreams during this time of year, many people aren't happy and feel more like Charlie Brown - "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (without the optimism) or George Bailey from "It's A Wonderful Life" (without the happy ending). Holiday Depression, better known as "the holiday blues," is real and it affects quite a number of people every year. The symptoms are wide and varied and can be brought on by the stress, fatigue Read More |

| Family Traditions and Values - How Children Are Happier With Them |
The hustle and bustle was all around; All the creatures were stirring with deafening sound. With years of Cyber Space at the touch of their fingers; No one could foresee the dangers that lingered. Faster and faster each year they would go; Till the fastest connection seemed way too slow. No longer did anyone need company around; Who needs a friend when there's so much to be found? With the children all snug away alone in their beds; Happily playing with visions of death scenes filling their heads. Laptops, television and computer game boxes at hand; Parents don't need a babysitter, there is no demand. No longer are they children, but miniature adults; Being thrust into a world filled with lust and cults. The Read More |

A recent news piece on CNN Prime News Tonight with Erica Hill revealed evidence that microwave popcorn could be harmful to your health. In the news piece it was discovered that Fluorooctanoic Acid was shown to be in high levels in microwave popcorn bags.
Fluorooctanoic Acid, which is added to the microwave-popcorn bags as a resistant coating, releases onto the popcorn when the bag is heated up and is then absorbed into the bloodstream and stays there for a long time. This chemical appears to be carcinogenic in lab animals. The FDA is now studying the affects of this chemical in greater detail.
