We have done our research, and are 95% sure we had ourselves an Adam Lambert sighting at Starbucks in Malibu Ca. Note the black nail polish, sunglasses, pompadour hairdo, earrings and the purple in the hair (as seen on AI this last week). What you are unable to note is the height and voice, [...]
More and more on the internets, I am finding that Crystal already has several original songs written by none other than herself. It would be nice if these songs were already for sale, or an album to be had! Alas, they are not yet available, but hopefully, in the near future, they will be.
This Yakster (and many others in the forum) are big fans of hers. She is a “modern” throwback if you will, with the soul to sing songs from the likes of Janis Joplin to Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt to Alanis Morrisette. I wouldn’t mind hearing her belt out a meaningful Pink ballad as well. She is current, and quite frankly, too good for the AI amateur stage. Don’t get me wrong, I am so glad she found her way there, and I really hope she can use this experience and platform to push her up to the stardom she so rightly deserves. I am truly jealous of those who had the honor of hearing her play on the street. She fills the gap for the young acoustic hippie that this tree hugger was definitely missing. She is looking to have her guitar signed by powerful women, and I’m most confident that she should be signing it herself as well.
This coming week, Adam Lambert is the mentor on the show. Now I know, there are MANY Lambert fans out there, (of which I am not one…sorry) but I gotta say, huh? How is he even remotely qualified to be a mentor? He has not even been off the show a full year, isn’t that widely successful (yet) and didn’t even win… So I really don’t get it. This should be interesting, especially for an artist like Crystal. What advice could he possibly have for her? I guess we will see?? Just weird. I will say I am very happy that Crystal continues to do her own thing. She already knows who she is, the artist she is, and needs to change nothing. Kara has from the start given her the wrong advice. Hopefully she continues to listen to herself, and even Simon Cowell has agreed.
Here is another treat, an original by Crystal called “Mama” – A big thanks to the Crystal Bowersox Blog who posts all these gems from her. Would love to know if we will ever be able to get our hands on these songs. I would really like to put them on my ipod to take with me on my drives and chill time! Give it a listen, then come join us in the forum to let us know what you think!
Oh and… let’s throw some votes over to Big Mike this week as well peeps! This wonderful positive soul should NOT be leaving this show this early!
Well, Mr. Lambert, American Idol’s latest runner-up, is getting exactly what he wanted. People talking about him. ABC announced today that they canceled his appearances on both the Jimmy Kimmel Show, as well as his appearance on Dick Clark’s Rocking New Year’s Eve Special. All this on the heels of his provocative performance at the American [...]
Greetings one and all please allow me to introduce myself. I am Saint Dagame, patron saint of reality shows as well as high priest of the Church of Gina Gershon and today starts a new era for the Yak. This is the first of many sermons that I will be giving to you, my adoring congregation, so remember this day because it will be one you will rejoice for decades to come.
I have decided to make this first sermon about tainting victories. Did Apollo Creed ruin Rcoky’s title win? Did the Patriots come up with conspiracy theories when they lost the Superbowl to the Giants? Did Arnold Jackson make up excuses why he lost his fight with The Gooch? The answer to all of the above is a resounding no, yet so many of you out there want to taint Kris Allen’s victory over Adam Lambert on American Idol by coming up with crazy conspiracy theories and downright nonsense so I’m here to set you straight.

First things first, congratulations go out to Kris Allen, winner of American Idol, Season 8, 2009!!!! Kris bested front runner and judges lovechild Adam Lambert, talented in his own right, by capturing just a reported 1% more of the 100 MILLION PLUS votes cast after last night’s final performances.
So we just had the showdown between Kris Allen and Adam Lambert on the finale of Season Eight of American Idol and I have to admit, despite media proclamations, this SHOULD be a close race. But what I REALLY want to talk about here is the burning question of when is enough, enough with American Idol? The judges, the entire season, have been SO obvious in their idolistic adoration of Adam Lambert, it’s hard to imagine why the season was even allowed to continue. If the judges had their way they probably would’ve given the title to Adam weeks ago.
Yes, I know I am late on this… but with all the hubbub of moving down to the final 2, Gokey leaving, and my other annoyances with the whole shebang, I completely let something slip from my mind, only to have it pop up again in my little brain today… and all I have to say is… WTF American Idol?

Let me start by telling you, before I start my ramble about American Idol tonight, that we WILL be getting more writers for the site soon. Why am I telling you this? Well, I am pretty sure with the popularity of Adam Lambert, that you are getting kinda sick and tired of my rants about dislike for this guy. So, keep that in mind… new writers, many that love him just like you do, coming soon to a YakkityYaks near you.
Ok, time for my critique, not that I am the connoisseur, especially when it comes to Rat Pack night. I am a pure rocker chick at heart… so this one is a little hard for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Frank and Dean sometimes. But… FRANK and DEAN, not people singing Frank and Dean. I thought I was gonna be bored, and sometimes I was… just not as bored as I thought I would be. We will start with:
Kris Allen – The Way You Look Tonight – Kris did okay. I wasn’t overly impressed, but wasn’t throwing things at the TV either. That has to be a good thing right? I don’t want my TV to look like those phony YouTube videos of the Wii remote cracking the screen. I mean, that would suck! Wait… I got off track there. Oh yeah, Kris… ummm… Decent start to the show I guess. Continue reading “American Idol 4/28” »
Yep, crap, at least I think so. This is Adam Lambert from American Idol… Having Randy compare him to My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy… seriously… what the hell is he smoking? Maybe I need some? He reminds me more of the sucky band that won “Battle of the Bands” in School of Rock…. [...]
