Today's Pick

Jade Ewen was born January 24, 1988 in London, who won the right to sing the song "It's My Time" as a result of her winning the UK's Eurovision selection process on BBC One’s "Eurovision: Your Country Needs You" on January 31, and represented UK at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow today, in which the UK came in 5th place. In doing so, she became the highest placed UK Eurovision act since 2002. The song "It's My Time" composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren, and was written specifically as the British entry for the Eurovision song contest.
Jade was sang her heart out in Moscow with "It's my time" and with Andrew Lloyd Webber playing the Piano. The show received an average of 7.8 million viewers, which is a 35.3% share of the UK TV audience. For me this is the best song they've had for many years, it's a nice ballad and a really fantastic song! Jade is very talented.

Kellie Pickler (born June 28, 1986 in North Carolina) finished in 6th place on the 5th season of American Idol in 2006. "Best Days of Your Life" is the 2nd single off her sophomore self-titled album, and co-written by Taylor Swift. It was released on December 1, 2008, and has now become her 1st Top 10 hit and her most successful hit.
The song is an up-tempo country pop mostly backed by electric guitar, played by Taylor Swift. It tells about a former boyfriend who cheated on her and is going to get married and build a family with the lover. Although, she wishes them to be happy and have a nice life, she says that he's already had the best days of his life with her, and the new partner can never top it.
The music video was shot last month in Nashville, and is directed by Roman White. It was released on March 25 to members of Pickler's official fanclub, and then to CMT today. In the video, Pickler goes out to the movies with her friends for her birthday and sees her boyfriend cheating on her, so she leaves. Later on, her ex gets married to the girlfriend, but he is completely unhappy with his new life and has many flashbacks of him and Pickler. One day while he and his wife are walking, she reveals that she is pregnant; he runs across the street and tries to make it up to Pickler, but he is hit by a bus and put in the hospital. Later, Pickler visits him and signs her name on his body cast and leaves. Throughout this, Pickler is shown singing alongside Taylor Swift with Pickler's ex watching through his television set.

Demetria "Demi" Lovato was born born August 20, 1992 in Texas. "Don't Forget" is the 3rd and final single released from her debut studio album of the same name. The moderate pop-rock song is Demi's best-performing song so far from album, and it's currently her highest performance on the chart to date.
The official music video (directed by Robert Hales) was shot in Griffith Park in LA. The video begins in a tour bus where Demi's band can be seen. She is then shown sitting next to a window, and precedes to sing the first few lines. As the song progresses, she walks in the rain holding an umbrella, where she continues to sing. Demi is then shown in front of a carousel, still holding her umbrella. When the song reaches the bridge, Demi and her band perform in the rain with the water changing colors in the background. As the last verse approaches she is shown back on the tour bus where the video began. When the song finishes a single tear rolls down her cheek.
I know Demi from the movie "Camp Rock" and also like her singles: "A Place In This World", "This Is Me" and "On The Line".

Jennifer Hudson was born on September 12, 1981 in Chicago. She was struggled to gain popularity in the early stages of American Idol's 3rd season in 2004, and finishing the competition in 7th place. Post 'Idol', however, Jennifer made her film debut in the 2006 film "Dreamgirls" and won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, among many others.
"If This Isn't Love" is the 2nd single from Jennifer's eponymous debut album, "Jennifer Hudson". Her voice is smoothed out through the fluttery "If This Isn't Love", nearly unrecognizable until the point where she belts. If This Isn't Love' succeeds at sounding completely modern without eschewing the standard adult-contemporary song structure that's tailor-made for pipes like her. Jennifer sings soulfully, with recent events making the lyrics particularly resonant. Combining modish beats with a cool, breezy chorus.
Jennifer shot a music video for the track in Los Angeles on January 26, 2009 with director Diane Martel. The video premiered February 11, 2009 on AOL, Entertainment Tonight, and 106 & Park. Jennifer made history with "If This Isn't Love" when it earned its 2nd consecutive week at #1 on the Urban Adult Radio Charts. Jennifer joins a group of only 5 other women in urban adult history to reach this accomplishment. I also like Jennifer's single "Spotlight" and "Invisible".

Ingrid Michaelson (born 8 December 1979) is a New York-based indie-pop singer-songwriter, is out with a brand new video "Breakable" on Cabin 24 today. Seeing as that tomorrow is Valentine's Day, perhaps it's only appropriate that Ms. love song herself. Ironically however, "Breakable", the 3rd track from her 2nd studio albuma "Girls and Boys" off 2007, directed by Josh Forbes, isn't something you'll want to be playing for you significant other this time tomorrow.
Much like 2007's smash hit, "The Way I Am", the video for "Breakable" is fairly low key, mostly featuring the Brooklyn based singer/songwriter walking around town as she sings about obtainable love, though considering how gorgeous Ingrid is. But hey, it's catchy and pleasant, and at the very least, provides some nice background music as your trudging through your Friday. A few songs of the album have been featured in the TV series, such as "Grey's Anatomy" and "One Tree Hill". The "Breakable" was also featured in "Staring at the Sun", and "The Real World: Denver".

Carrie Underwood (born March 10, 1983 in Oklahoma) is the winner of the 4th season of American Idol in 2005, since then Carrie has become one of the most popular performers in the nation. Carrie is currently climbing the country airplay charts with her most recent smash, "I Told You So" which is the 5th and final single released from her 2nd studio album "Carnival Ride" today.
This music video for the single was during a performance at the Grand Ole Opry House on March 15, 2008. Carrie was invited by her idol, the songwriter Randy Travis, who sneaked up on her as she was finishing her version of Travis' song "I Told You So", to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Before the performance, she states that "I Told You So" has always been "one of her favorites growing up". After the performance, Randy comes out from the back of the stage and compliments Carrie.
Other favorite from Carrie? "Don't Forget to Remember Me", "So Small", "Do You Hear What I Hear?", "Before He Cheats", "Just a Dream" and "Wheel Of The World". Find more at her Fansite and MySpace.
