Poptificating: A Few Words On Nicki Minaj’s Impending “American Idol” Judge-Ship
The potential arrival of Nicki Minaj to the “American Idol” judges’ chair has tongues wagging, but will it bring viewers back? Find out what the Popblerd staff thinks.
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 10
With Jermaine Jones and Shannon Magrane leaving the show last week, we’re down to 10. And what a crappy 10 it’s been so far overall. The first two weeks of the American Idol finals have been wildly disappointing. The performances haven’t been all that good and the song choices have been befuddling at times. I hope it gets better this week as the crew is performing the songbook of one William Joel, who you know better as Billy Joel. Jenny […]
The Viewfinder: “Someone to Love Me (Naked)” by Mary J. Blige
What the hell is Mary J. Blige doing? Sure, her record sales are in decline-so’s everyone’s! Just when you thought the Queen of Hip-Hop soul had learned her lesson after her first Diddy-related fiasco, 2003’s Love & Life, she’s re-teamed with Mr. Combs for “Someone to Love Me (Naked)”, a slight revision of a track that originally appeared on Diddy’s Last Train to Paris CD and is the first single from Mary’s upcoming My Life II set. You know there’s […]

This week’s new releases include new albums by Michael Jackson, R. Kelly and Ciara.
Hear Here: Jay Electronica’s “Shiny Suit Theory” (feat. Jay-Z & The-Dream)
Hype is a dangerous thing-as I’ve said before, we need to come to a place that’s more about showing and proving than talking about it. So while the internets and the hip-hop tastemakers have been buzzing about Jay Electronica for something like two years now, I’m patiently waiting for the brother to actually release an album. Seems like we might be a little closer to that actually happening-Jay linked up with Jay-Z and became an official Roc Nation signee about […]
2010 American Music Awards: Live Blog
The American Music Awards may have fallen to third place on the importance list behind the Grammy Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards, but it’s still a pretty important show where it counts…at the cash register. It’s pretty well-watched, and lots of people that see performances or award winners end up going to their local store (or to iTunes) and picking up a single or album by someone they caught on the show. The AMAs began in 1974 as […]
"The ArchAndroid": Too Weird for It's Own Good?
I love music that disproves the currently prevailing theory that all black folks know how to do musically is either rhyme about thuggin’ or sing slow booty jams. Not that there’s anything wrong with either of those things per se-but I prefer my music to have a little more substance while still being palatable. Which is why when it comes to rhymin’: Jigga? Yes. Gucci Mane or Rick Ross? No. Maxwell? Yes. Trey Songz…he’s getting there, but not quite yet. […]
New Release Report 5/18/10: Feast or Famine
After a couple of weeks with barely anything to recommend, there’s a veritable cornucopia of quality new music in stores today. These releases cut across all genres, and as appreciative as I am to have good music, I’ve gotta ask: CAN Y’ALL SPREAD THIS SHIT OUT SO I DON’T FEEL GUILTY ABOUT DROPPING SIXTY BUCKS ON NEW MUSIC IN ONE DAY???? DAMN! Just saying… Anyway, these records come 100% Blerd Approved. If you don’t like ’em, maybe there’s something wrong […]
