According to some contacts of mine, Ke$ha had originally show cased for Island Def Jam but was passed upon.

This is the second time I can think of a hot newcomer (though how hot Ke$ha will continue to be remains to be seen) was done wrong by the IDJ. As you may or may not know, Lady Gaga was once part of the Island Def Jam stable. However, the people there could not figure out what to do with her and so she was given the boot in favor of the Estonian singer Kerli.

The question remains, who did the right thing here? Will Ke$ha’s success continue? In the end was she done a favor by not landing at IDJ?

Who knows

Tonite marks the start of a brand new season of American Idol. I know millions of people can’t wait (including my sister) but I have never watched a season. Namely because I think it is garbage and the music is awful. But here is what I vow to do. I vow not to watch it, and then just rip off other peoples headlines and blog about it. Your welcome America.
