NEW YORK — ABC’s “Good Morning America” is saying “no thanks” to Adam Lambert.

The morning show canceled the glam rocker’s scheduled performance on Wednesday’s show because of Lambert’s racy appearance on the “American Music Awards” on Sunday night.

“Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning,” ABC News said Tuesday in a statement.

“Obviously, I respect their decision — they gotta do what they gotta do,” Lambert said Tuesday in an interview with Ryan Seacrest. “It’s too bad, I think there were a lot of fans who were excited to come see me.

“They probably had a lot of pressure coming at them from certain people who weren’t happy about it.”

While singing his new song “For Your Entertainment” at the awards program, Lambert kissed a male keyboardist, fondled a dancer and had another dancer briefly stuff his face in Lambert’s crotch. It prompted many complaints to ABC.

But CBS quickly announced Tuesday that Lambert would appear on “The Early Show” Wednesday morning both to perform and discuss the reaction to Sunday’s appearance.

The “Good Morning America” cancellation was first reported on TVNewser and Hollywood Life Web sites.

This is the 104th post in our Musician of the Day series.

John Joseph was born in 1962 in New York City. He spent his childhood in foster care and spent most of his time on the streets of New York.

In 1984 he became the lead singer for the Cro-Mags, He was the singer on their demo and their first album. He continued with the group for their third and fourth albums as well. He left the band in 1989.

Throughout this time he also spent time as a roadie for a number of Bad Brains tours.

He eventually returned to the Cro-Mags in the 1990s but disputes with other bandmates made collaboration impossible.

After that he created his own band Bloodclot! and due to that he is often known as Bloodclot. But he has also sung with Mode of Ignorance, Both Worlds, and Fearless Vampire Killers.

In 2007 he published a book about his life entitled The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon.

I remember the day of my sister’s marriage. That was the first wedding in our little family, me and my brother were in the trance of giving the best we could to her at the time of this departure, and here our misery started! Today also, when I remember it, I feel shy and awkward. The only motive to share that silly situation is to make my readers aware about overexcitements which caused a historic fuss in our family.

what happened Exactly is, our parents had an idea of a professional singer to entertain the guests at the time of wedding. And my sister’s bad luck followed for we learnt that and decided to become singers at the time of reception to make her happy.

We prepared some jingles and for chorus, asked our friends to accompany us as a chorus. There were 3 of us. We went through many practices, short listed few jingles witch were best according to our choice, Even planned our dresses very carefully.

On the great eve of our dream, what went wrong was, we were really unaware that how many guests were invited? At the time of rehearsal they were familiar and near about 200 in numbers. So, we were very comfortable in front of them. But actually the crowd was of hundreds more than expectation and all strangers. Our voices turned coarse, feet trembling, bodies shivering and we just completed the lines literary. Our parent’s faces turned red, sis was most uncomfortable, her hubby literally fixed his fingers into ears and it was really great amusement for our guests.

If you are planning for your sis’s or bro’s wedding reception please avoid singing at the occasions. If you really mean to:

1)    Use very short and fast jingles.
2)    Have expert comments one week in advance.
3)    Arrange good sound system and practice on it to get familiar with.
4)    Be realistic. Don’t choose too many songs. Two or three songs are sufficient.
5)    Know the perfect time to sing them and convey it through the agenda to all so they will prepare themselves for upcoming disaster.
6)    Know the actual number of guests who are going to attend the reception.
7)    Take care of your voice; avoid screaming, sour items, cold drinks, ice-cream from during practice period and ceremony.
8)    No needs to instruct about overeating on the day because believe me you cannot!
9)    Ask the permission of your guests before you start, it settles the audience.
10)     Remember, the occasion is your sibling’s wedding and not singing concert.

Plan to give the best she/he deserves and get the same. After you finish successfully please share your experience with me.
Good luck.

Mya finished this season of ”Dancing With The Stars” on top of leader board by scoring the most points from the judges for her final 3 dances performed for the championship round.

Mya, 800-VOTE4-11, 800-86834-11, and text 3411, finished tonight’s finale with a score of 27 out of 30, placing her two points ahead of Donny Osmond, and 11 points ahead of Kelly Osbourne,making her clearly the judges favorite for the evening.

Mya and her professional dance partner Dmitry Chaplin performed at a very high level this evening, as they have done throughout the competition. The only slight mistake that they made was in choosing a final freestyle dance from the Broadway play ”Hairspray” that apparently was a popular number for those who have seen the stage play.

I never saw that play, but I did see both versions of the movie, and their performance looked very good to me, and I was fully entertained. Apparently, the judges based their scores off of the Tony award-winning dancing that was in the Broadway play, as performed by the professional Broadway dancers.

I think that is a bit odd, to judge her performance against Broadway dancers,and not the rest of the competitors.I know she is good and all, but it looked to me like she was competing against Donny and Kelly, so that assessment was way off base, but…that is just me.

I think they were expecting something different, and forgot to judge the performance in front of them, and that is the problem with consistently being on top….people want to see you fall.

I admire Kelly and Donny,and wish them well, but it was irritating to hear Kelly complain and whine about Mya being a professional dancer, because if she was honest, she has an unfair advantage over Mya, which is that she comes with all of Ozzy Osbourne’s legion of fans, let alone her own from the ”Osbournes” MTV reality series, that was at one time the highest rated program on the cable network.

That all makes a difference because at this point in the season, it is not about dancing on ‘Dancing With The Stars’, but it all comes down to a popularity contest, and Ozzy has all the popularity in the entertainment business, and Kelly rides on his coat tails.

Donny Osmond has almost 5 decades of loyal fans that far out distances the small number of R and B fans that remain loyal to Mya, because in the R and B game, the fans like to tear down the singers once the hits stop coming, and loyalty is almost nonexistence.

The freestyle dance was as awesome as the rest of her performances, and do not let any negative spin on it fool you. If it comes down to dancing skill, then Mya would win hands down,….If it only was about dancing, but it is not.

It is a popularity contest, and the popularity is not based on the dancing performances on the show.

If it is all about dancing, then vote for team Mya and Dmitry, it is what would be fair.

The deal is this,Mya, as all the performers, are not trained ballroom dancers, so she is on the same level as Tom Delay in that area, and the whining by Kelly Osbourne is unfair,fake, and borders on lying. She was obviously trying to garner some sentimental votes from her dads fans, and at the same time, slamming Mya.

In doing this injustice to Mya, Kelly reminded me of her mother Sharon Osbourne’s tacky slamming of singer Susan Boyle’s looks, when she stated that …”Susan Boyle is a lovely lady who had been hit by the ugly stick”….

http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/sharon-osbourne-apologizes-for-insulting-susan-boyle-appearance–1017159.php

The haters are gathering to torpedo Mya’s championship, and she needs all of our support by calling or texting the numbers listed here in this article.

Call or text now, before it is too late, and let’s help her bring home the award she has earned, and deserves, if all things are fair.

Mya & Dmitry Chaplin-800-VOTE4-11–or—–800-86834-11—-text—-3411

No matter who wins, and I hope it is Mya, rest assured that I will continue to watch ‘DWTS’ because the producers provide some of the best entertainment on free TV, and the dancers are all drop dead gorgeous,….like Donny’s partner Kym Johnson who makes me want to visit Australia if she is representative of the women that come from there.

Click on these links to gauge the Love/Hate for Mya, and please….vote for her…

From Eonline.com:

“Singularly distasteful.”

The Parents Television Council on Adam Lambert’s American Music Awards leash demonstration? Close. The Sept. 16, 1956, New York Times on Elvis Presley’ship-censored Ed Sullivan performance.

If our outrage over rock stars is nothing new, then neither are our rock stars. From Elvis’ pelvis on down, they are nothing if not dedicated to sex, more sex, the next new single, which is probably about sex, and ticking off people who prefer their s-e-x to be not so explicit, thankyouverymuch.

Criticizing Lambert for what he did, smooched and pawed at the AMAs is like criticizing that Paula Deen lady on the Food Network because she made something with butter: It’s what they do.

And the other night, Lambert did his job very well.

It should be left to music critics and Ellen DeGeneres to judge whether Lambert’s vocals and song selection were spot on. But any doubt the performance was off the mark should have been erased with every angry word from the PTC, every angry phone call to ABC (1,500-plus and counting, per reports), and, above all, the network’s censored AMAs broadcast for tender West Coast audiences too young to see Jennifer Lopez fall down and go boom, much less witness “another dancer simulat[e] oral sex on Lambert.” (Thanks again, PTC! You always put it just right!)

Together, Lambert’s offenses are nothing less than the work of a rock star in his tight-pants prime. Can you imagine how hard it must have been to work the townfolk into a huff only weeks after the nation re-lost its innocence to the Gossip Girl threesome?

It could be argued that Elvis, rarely painted as a social progressive, would not approve of Lambert’s act. But it could be pointed out that the King had no problem singing about the inmates’ various couplings in ”Jailhouse Rock.”

t could be argued that Lambert hoodwinked his American Idol fans into thinking he was as harmless as a Danny Gokey R&B ballad. But it could be pointed out that if you didn’t know Lambert was playing nice in order to play, and possibly win, the game, then you weren’t paying attention. At all. (And also your Rolling Stone subscription lapsed.)

Lambert wasn’t straying from who he was; he was being who he is. He wasn’t dishonoring the stage; he was honoring music’s shock-and-awe tradition. (According to Lambert, he was getting more blowback for it because he was a gyrating guy, and not a writhing Madonna, but he was probably more in the crosshairs because he was a gyrating guy on free TV, and not a writhing Madonna on cable.)

Ultimately, Lambert was doing what he was supposed to do, and, if it was displeasing that a child somewhere saw him do it in prime time, then somebody’s bedtime needs to be moved up. (The show-closing number didn’t air until almost 11 p.m. ET/PT.)

“All hail freedom of expression and artistic integrity,” Lambert tweeted Monday.

And, the certified rock star could’ve added, ”the satisfaction of a job done right.”

Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Perfumes

If a celebrity is doing a line for a home shopping channel, using their star power to try and drive sales, then we think he or she should actually show up at the venue.

But Stefani is not listed on HSN’s online program guide for midnight tonight, when the Today’s Specials debut. But Stefani, the trend-setting blonde from Orange County, did do a video clip on her perfume for HSN’s Web site.

Here’s what HSN’s Web site says about the Japanese Harajuku dolls that the perfume comes in.

“Express your individuality with a selection of eau de toilette sprays inspired by Gwen Stefani’s love of the outrageous, eye-catching street scene of the Harajuku shopping district in Tokyo,” the site says. “Packaged in adorable doll decanters, each of the fragrances in this chic collection corresponds to the personality of a Harajuku Girl. Choose from Love, Lil’ Angel, Music, Baby and G and find a scent that fits your style.”

JLo falls onstage...then pops up and keeps it moving

Last night,Dick Clark and ABC television hosted the annual American Music Awards, where all kind of crazy and cool happenings went on,and Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert still stood out.

I like it how every year some new act feels the need to shock and push the limits of the public morals to the breaking point, and this year the winner for that category is Adam Lambert.

Adam,the runner-up for last seasons American Idol competition,decided to out do Katy Perry who kissed a girl, or at least had a hit record about it, by kissing a guy on stage.

And, as if that was not enough to get his point across, he then grabbed a male dancer, and had him kiss,…or do something like that, to his crotch. Many guys have done this on stage before,except with women.

I think the best one was that awards show on Spike TV hosted by Jamie Foxx,when he grabbed Halle Berry’s nice behind and laid a good kiss on her…remember that.

Jamee and Halle...very hotJamee hugs Halle...

Halle hugs Jamee,who hugs her back...

I know that was kind of different, but I think many will get my point. I became a bigger Jamie Foxx supporter after that one.

If you missed Adam’s act…we have the pictures here…

He showed up looking like this…

Edgy…or just another way to market his album…who knows.He is from San Diego, so good luck with that Adam…

Anyhow, here is a selection of the beautiful people who were there, and of course my favorites,Rhianna,Alicia Keyes, and all the other cute sexy and talented musical superstars….and oh yes, JLo fell,see image above article,watch video below before it gets deleted,and read the story in the link provided under the video…

http://www.examiner.com/x-6788-TV-Trends-Examiner~y2009m11d23-Jennifer-Lopez-falls-at-American-Music-Awards-with-video

…Oh yeah…as usual,like clockwork…Lady Gaga got down!…she is the most interesting performer out there currently, and whenever she performs…I simply can not take my eyes off of her,because of her performances.

She has way more concept than the rest of her fellow performers,and I can tell she is having a big influence on others stage shows. Good going Gaga….

Follow the JLo story here,their video may not be deleted very quickly because they got more pull…

My blogging abilities lack in stewardship. Though I have decided to start a blog and design a page that says a little about myself, I have neglected perhaps the most important part and that is the act of actually blogging. 

In recent weeks life has had it’s share of ups and downs. On the upside of life there has been my girlfriend finishing her Masters degree. On the downside we have been trying desperately to get our schedules in sync and that has not always been the easiest of tasks.  

Often times my work schedule can be rather heavy and that can take it’s toll on any relationship but we are working through it all. What it all boils down to is us trying to make more time for each other, not out of obligation but rather out of desire and we should all be so lucky to have such “problems”.

Another aspect that can take it’s toll on a relationship … or any relationship that I have been in is when a singer/songwriter hits a creative stride.

A few weeks ago I attended a fantastic show. It was the Ten out of Tenn tour. In the few weeks following I felt inspired. Music was exciting again and I didn’t realize how exciting it was. 

At first I started working on one new song and then a second, a third, a fourth until I realized that the number of new songs was nine. It is one thing to start a song but then I started finishing them. One even got a rough draft recording while I worked out the lyrics for a few others. 

There have been mornings where I feel that I can’t leave the house until I play through a certain song a few times and there have been nights where I get out of bed at 2am or 3am and feel the need to work on something new. The inspiration is there and I am trying to let it take me wherever it will. Believe it or not, there is a downside.

Cat ( my girlfriend ) would most likely tell you that I start to act a bit differently in times like these. I am a bit more withdrawn. My mind is all over the place and she knows something is on my mind but it is hard for her to know what it is. Unknowingly I am sending out the wrong signals.

So, I have realized  that it is best to inform when I have started writing again. This way she knows that my mind has entered that creative space. I have also realized that it is best to schedule days to work on music and writing and recording. And perhaps the most important lesson is to inform her when a song is not about her.

If you venture over to my American Songspace page, you could hear a new rough draft recording. Excited about the song, I let her listen to it. She got upset and thought I was breaking up with her. NOT GOOD AT ALL!

Let’s just say that the song is not nice. LOL But after some kissing, hugging and cuddling all was well. If you want to listen to the song, it is called ‘What Do You Want From Me?’ It is on American Songspace and you can listen to it by clicking HERE !

It is nice to be writing again. It feels great to be creating something again. It feels wonderful to be inspired again. Just need to figure how to keep my feet on the ground while my head is in the clouds.

Creativity is a drug like no other and I am trying to avoid an intervention.

Can you guess who the singer is?

AllAboutJazz.com’s Managing Editor John Kelman posted his review of vocalist/composer Fay Victor’s latest release, The FreeSong Suite (Greene Avenue Music), over the weekend.

“Once again,” he writes, “Victor’s soulful, emotive delivery combines with avant-tinged invention, placing her alongside great vocal innovators like Betty Carter, Jeanne Lee, Sheila Jordan…a truly creative singer with the chops to accomplish whatever she wants, but the good taste to ensure that substance always trumps style.”

He adds, “With an ensemble that twists and turns the music in response to, and as a catalyst for, Victor’s own unbound improvisational acumen, The Freesong Suite is a vocal album that stands well above the pack; a welcome respite from the unwieldy preponderance of unimaginative vocal jazz albums hitting the market.”

I bought this to replace a Brother machine that failed after 15 years. This machine’s embroidery is superior to my old machine. More stitches and the stitches are rendered better. The action is smooth (but it’s the noisiest machine I’ve ever had). I was pleasantly surprised with the construction of the machine, I was expecting cheap construction for such an inexpensive machine.

There are a few bad features. The machine is not very responsive to the presser foot. I’m used to a machine stopping and starting directly with the presser foot. This machine goes a few stitches after the pressure is completely off the foot. And the needle always returns to the up position, so every time you need to turn a corner or do something where the needle must be down, you have to manually crank it a half stitch. The ‘reverse’ button is in a awkward place and there is a really annoying ‘needle threader’ that hangs directly to the right of the needle. This can’t be removed or moved off to the side, so it just hangs in your way. It would have been a much better design to just include a cheap little threader in the storage box for the people who can’t thread a needle by hand.Best Buy Singer 7442 Price Best Price, Buy Now!

Have you ever heard of Meg Flather?

According to a press release, Flather “is known to millions as one of home shopping television’s most popular on-air personalities,” appearing on QVC, HSN and ShopNBC.

It says she worked on home shopping networks as “a cosmetics salesperson…One of television’s top cosmetic hawkers beloved by millions of women.”

Well, we’ve been watching home shopping networks for at least 15 years — maybe more — and we don’t know who the hell she is. Never heard of her. In other words, the press release is full of crap.

Be that as it may, Flather managed to get a blurb Monday in the “Inner Tube” column of the New York Daily News’s TV section. The item plugged Flather’s Dec. 12 performance at the Metropolitan Room in Manhattan. Her show, where she does comedy and sings, is called “Home Shopping Diva…songs of love, loss, & lipstick.”

The News says that Flather is looking to trademark her moniker “Home Shopping Diva.” Yes, we’re sure there’s a long line of women looking to use that name.

The press release on Flather’s Dec. 12 gig says, “In addition to hommage to the great female singers and composers who inspired her musical career, Flather’s ‘Home Shopping Diva’ includes some comedy songs as well as sendups of the home shopping TV phenomenon and heartfelt snippets of her work advising women seeking the lost luster of their youth.”

We can’t wait.
