The American Idol Season 11 Premiere, Recapped In Haiku
Last night’s season premiere of American Idol brought legions of hopefuls out to Savannah, Georgia to try their skill in front of the judges. Because there were so many auditions, I’ve condensed my thoughts into the ancient, pithy, Japanese form known as haiku. How efficient is that? More »
Video: ‘Thailand’s Got Talent’ Contestant Can Sing In Multiple Genders
A woman auditioning on Thailand’s Got Talent stunned the audience and judges alike when she sang in a woman’s voice and a man’s voice. I don’t understand Thai, but commenters on YouTube seem to think that the auditioner is transgendered. Either way, this performance is pretty cool to watch. More »
Video: Kids Trololo On Christmas

An Open Letter to Karaoke Ringers
You guys know who you are, even though you come in to the karaoke bar every night pretending not to know each other from acting/improv/voice class.

Turns Out John Travolta Can’t Sing, Makes Australian Soccer Team Uncomfortable
Honestly, we’d rather hear a thousand vuvuzelas going off at once than imagine that new-dad John Travolta sang the entirety of “You’re The One That I Want” to the Australian World Cup Players. Like, did he do the girl parts too, in a weird falsetto? Thankfully, some editor cut it off before we could find out.
This thing reminds us of this thing…. More »
Video: Bieber Baby…The Next Greyson Chance?
Oh god, we can’t believe that calling someone “the new Greyson Chance” is already a thing, but now that the overnight sensation of the 16-year-old singing “Paparazzi” may have actually been a planned ringer, we can’t take any of these Internet babies at face value.

Memoir: I’m With The Band
It’s a Thursday night, and I’m onstage at Bar Matchless in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. My boyfriend, Jay, is next to me, tuning his guitar and getting ready to sing.

I rushed here from my job as a restaurant hostess in Midtown, so I’m frighteningly sober, and I haven’t had time to put on my usual Robert Palmer-girl style stage makeup. I am not ready.
