What a way to promote your music!!

The call girl "Kristen" who is at the center of the Eliot Spitzer scandal has been identified today in the press as Ashley Alexandra Dupre a 22 year old wannabe R&B singer from New Jersey. And I just clicked onto her myspace and it looks like she took her profile down. But when I clicked onto her profile before and I listened her music and... surprise it wasn't very good! Vocally she sounds like a cross between Britney Spears being strangled and cats in heat and musically her songs sound like really third rate really bad versions of Pussy Cat Dolls songs. And lyrically my three year old niece can come up with more catchier and more intelligent and interesting lyrics about her Disney princess bike and sparkly things . But you know there is someone who is going to offer this girl a chance to record an album. And I knew it! Ashley or "Kristen" looks like the typical B&T chick (for all you who aren't familiar with that term B&T means stereotypical people from Long Island and New Jersey..think The Gotti Boys and Amy Fisher types) she looks like she never misses ladies night at Siberia in Huntington. And she looks like the type of chick that is outside my building at three in the morning on a saturday night with all her B&T girlfriends in their flared jeans, titty tank tops, heals, ompa loompa tans, louie bags and flat ironed hair drunkenly screaming "OH MOI GAWWD"!! while one pukes on the steps of my building after a night of drinking at Angels and Kings. Who knew that Spitzer liked those B&T gals!?

History has shown us that in these types of scandals "the other woman" always manages to get a book deal, a Playboy pictorial, a TV movie based on their story, TV hosting jobs, a clothing or purse line, a reality show and a contract to model jeans. I'm betcha anything besides the record contract , there will be a Playboy spread! And watch Ryan Seacrest's production company will offer her a reality show on E! She'll be riding the wave of her notoriety and by this time next year she'll be another footnote in political sex scandals.

Onto something that I'm really embarrassed that I watched the other night! And that is "American Idol's" Beatles night!! First of Beatles songs are such sacred cows! In my mind there are very few people who do a good cover of a Beatles song! And as it is, American Idol is sooo cheesy! Every version of Beatles songs sung by the contestants of AI SUCKED big time!! On AI the contestants either do that R&B/Broadway style of over singing where it's all about vibrato and holding that note and that vowel for as long as possible. Or it's all about what I call douche bag version of singing where it's the male "rockers" and they have to clip every word and make it sound like your constipated when you sing your lyrics, your struggling to get those lyrics out cause your so angst ridden cause the weight of the world is on your shoulders i.e. that David Cook kid or that Ed guy from Live or Chris Dourghty. I do like that Amanda chick with the two toned hair, I think she's got a voice that's a throw back to Ann Wilson from Heart. I honestly think that if John Lennon or George Harrison where alive today that so wouldn't have given their permission to have their music on AI. I think they would have cringed over the whole AI concept and that Paula Abdul is judging people's musical talents! More then likely Lennon and Harrison were spinning in their graves over having people like David Cook sing their songs, Paula Abdul judging people singing their songs and Ryan Seacrest introducing their songs!

Well this weekend I will be hard at work on my Orion from the Orion experience and JLR interviews so that should be posted sometime next week so be on the look out!
