Selena Gomez is making the rounds to promote her new anti-bullying single called ‘Who Says.’ Gomez is delivering such a great message to her young fans with ‘Who Says’ and it sounds like her voice is getting stronger with every performance.

[video] Greyson Chance “Waiting Outside The Lines” Video Premiere

Greyson Chance, the kid who became famous on YouTube for his cover of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi,” has just released his first official music video for his debut single “Waiting Outside The Lines.” The video is similar to Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Mile” as Greyson can be seen at the piano in public places throughout the video, but we think Greyson’s piano is a lot cooler.

Greyson is currently in the studio in Los Angeles working on his debut album with a top team of producers including acclaimed songwriter/producer and Geffen Records chairman Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera, Black Eyed Peas, Pussycat Dolls). The album is expected early 2011 on eleveneleven/Maverick/Geffen.

In January 2011, Greyson Chance will embark on his first U.S. Tour as direct support to Miranda Cosgrove. The 21-city tour will kick off January 24th in Kansas City, MO.

Katy Perry is the first artist in 11 years to have 3 radio singles from an album go to #1 on the Billboard Hot100 chart. “Firework” follows Katy’s six-week chart reign with the quadruple-platinum “California Gurls” and it’s follow-up “Teenage Dream”, the latter which spent two weeks at the top. Meanwhile her Grammy-nominated ‘Album of the Year’ Teenage Dream has remained a steady seller, and is now sold around 700k in the US to date.

Could Jessica Simpson Be The New Idol Judge?

Rumors were flying yesterday claiming that Jessica Simpson is in talks with American Idol producers to be the new judge on the upcoming season of the show. According to Entertainment Weekly and TMZ, Simpson has met with Idol producers, but she is one of many people being considered for the job and no official announcement has been made.

Would Jessica make a good judge on Idol? She hasn’t done anything significant in music in years! Then again, neither had Paula Abdul and Ellen…well, Ellen hasn’t done anything at all. It’s just a TV show after all.

Will Paula Abdul Return To American Idol For The Season Finale?

Every year the producers of American Idol do their best to make sure the public doesn’t know who will appear during the finale. There have been quite a few rumors circulating right now as to which stars will appear during the live telecast, on Tuesday and Wednesday night on FOX.

The word on the street is Paula Abdul will make an appearance during the finale as part of a farewell to Simon Cowell, who will no longer be a judge on the hit show. If Paula shows up, this will be the first time she has appeared on Idol since she was replaced by Ellen.

Simon Cowell is ready to move on from Idol. He will be kicking off the US version of X-Factor next year. The 50 year old judge is very thrilled about his new foray and he will still remain as “brutally honest” as he has been all these in American Idol.

Will you guys watch the finale to see who wins? Will it be Crystal Bowersox or Lee DeWyze? Or are you going to be tuning in to see Simon’s last appearance?

In less than a week, Greyson Chance has captivated the world with his performance of Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi‘. Greyson’s video has over 10 million views and it’s only been on YouTube for 2 weeks! Incredible.

Ellen DeGeneres instantly reached out to the young star and invited him to perform on her daytime talk show. Ellen even surprised Greyson with a phone call from none other than Lady Gaga herself.

We expect big things from Greyson in the future!

Idol Recap: Top 12 Take On The Rolling Stones

Tonight the Top 12 contestants took their first steps onto the big Idol stage and the theme was The Rolling Stones. They all appear to have gotten a slight makeover and, interestingly, Katie led the group out. I little subliminal hint as to who the Idol producers want to win? I think so.

Michael Lynche – ‘Miss You’ – After last week’s performance, he had a lot to live up to. He started off having a little too much fun, but the vocals were a great way to kick off tonight’s show. I could have done without the dancing, though.

Didi Benami – ‘Play With Fire’ – Did she just flub up the song? I think so, but she recovered quickly. Girl brought an attitude tonight with this song and showed us a not so sweet and innocent side. She’s growing each week. As her vocals get more solid, I think we need to keep an eye on her.

Casey James – ‘It’s All Over Now’ – Casey rocked this song tonight. I may have given him a lot of crap for all of the cougar banter with Kara, but tonight, he proved that he’s got talent and star quality. The only thing that would have made this any better is if he had worked the stage instead of standing in the center the entire time.

Lacey Brown – ‘Ruby Tuesday’ – Did Kara say she agrees with the guys? But, Simon hasn’t spoken yet. Kara really is becoming Paula, she’s psychic now! I thought this was a great song choice for Lacey. The strings really complimented her voice. She had a great vocal moment about ¾ of the way through the song. But why does she always find a way to sit down?

Andrew Garcia – ‘Gimme Shelter’ – Not bad. I get nervous when he’s not playing his guitar. It’s obvious he’s a little uncomfortable without it. His arm movements were a little forced and funny. But he delivered a solid vocal, although he lacked the energy to really impress anyone. I’ve been rooting for him since Hollywood week like everyone else, but he’s getting lost in this competition. I really hope he sticks around, though, so we can hear more of his original style like we heard in ‘Straight Up’.

Katie Stevens – ‘Wild Horses’ – She’s just so darn cute, you want her to do well. And I think it’s obvious that the producers of Idol do to. Did you see those camera shots on her? They’re trying to make her look like a star. This was, by far, her best song choice since the competition started. She connected with the song and with the camera. Let’s hope she continues to climb from this point on. With all of the tween pop stars, Katie would fit right in. Now is her time if she plays her cards right.

Tim Urban – ‘Under My Thumb’ – Kara just did it again. She said she agrees with the guys when they haven’t both spoken yet. Unless she’s referring to Ellen as a guy. I mean she kind of looks like a boy, but she’s definitely a woman. While watching the #idol twitter feed, it’s obvious that girls are only voting for this guy because of his looks. What was up with his reggae inspired remix?

Siobhan Magnus – ‘Paint It Black’ – She’s so awkward and stiff, but her vocals are insane. How does she hit those notes! Her arrangement and interpretation of the song was very reminiscent of Adam Lambert. Great choice for her.

Lee Dewyze – ‘Beast Of Burden’ – Ok, it was solid, but so boring and completely forgettable.

Paige Miles – ‘Honky Tonk Woman’ – She’s still here? For the first time, I wasn’t completely appalled by her performance. Even with laryngitis, she delivered a strong vocal that reminded the judges why the kept her in the competition.

Aaron Kelly – ‘Angie’ – Thank God they actually styled his hair tonight. It’s refreshing to see someone so young know exactly what kind of artist he wants to be. The young girls already love him, so he definitely chose the right song tonight.

Crystal Bowersox – ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ – There’s no denying that she’s incredible and clearly stands out from the rest of the contestants. When she’s performing, it’s like I’m not even watching Idol anymore. Sure, Siobhan had a great night, but Crystal delivers every week.

Were you surprised by anyone tonight? I still haven’t been completely blown away by anyone yet this season.

We’ll see who goes home tomorrow!
