It's been a while since we've been hearing rumors about Avril Lavigne being pregnant but I guess it's just that: rumors. I am telling you guys the paparazzi are the spin doctors of the truth. Recently, Avril was photographed wearing some loose clothing and apparently "showing" a little tummy. I wonder if she was wearing her own clothing line "Rock Glam." Otherwise, she's gonna have to rebrand it with "Rock Mom."

On another note, it has been reported that Avril Lavigne has fired her manager, Terry McBride. Apparently, the Canadian singer blames McBride for the mediocre performance of her last album and of the upside downs of her career. For those of you who did not know, Avril Lavigne's "The Best Damn Thing" album sold a total of 6 million copies worldwide in October 2008.

BTW, if you are really a hardcore fan of Avril and can't get enough of the loony rocker it just so happens that she has very own 2009 Calendar. The calendar is around $13 and can be found at whatever store near you that sells calendars - bookstores, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. - or can be gotten on Amazon. But that's not all she's been busy with. She landed a movie role in Richard Geere's crime drama " The Flock." As for musical taste, in an interview, Avril stated that her favorite party song is "Hey Ya", by Outkast. She likes listening to Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Marilyn Manson, System of a Down and Blink-182.

So, yeah it seems like this 24 year-old Canadian punk rocker is all over the place. In fact, she's even involved doing some charity work on behalf of U.S. Campaign for Burma, Make a Wish Foundation, Amnesty International and War Child. Alright so before I take off, have fun singing to the music of Avril Lavigne's "The Best Damn Thing." TTYL.

Yes, "The Boss" is making a comeback with a new album that is ready to hit the record stores on January 27, 2009. Bruce Springsteen new production is titled. "Working on a Dream". So, the hype is building up. In fact, last week, viewers were enable to download for free a song from Bruce Springsteen's upcoming album. On December 28, Amazon made available the download of "Life Itself" for free but only for a day.

Prior to Christmas, "The Boss" kept himself busy by giving a sort of Bruce Springsteen's 2008 Christmas show as he played with Jon Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds and Nicole Atkins at the Hope Show at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. Critics and fans agree that "The Boss" looks great and performing well 'jumping around the stage, leaping with the guitar, working all sides of the stage and smiling throughout.'

Springsteen has received a Golden Globe Nomination for the song "The Wrestler" in the category of Best Original Song - Motion Picture. "The Wrestler" is the title song of the movie with Mickey Rourke on screens now. So you never know "The Wrestler" might even be in the run for an Academy Award nomination. So you get an idea of Springsteen's competition, here they are:

The nominees for Best Original Song - Motion Picture:

a. "DOWN TO EARTH" — WALL-E Music by: Peter Gabriel, Thomas Newman Lyrics by: Peter Gabriel

b. "GRAN TORINO" — GRAN TORINO Music by: Clint Eastwood, Jamie Cullum, Kyle Eastwood, Michael Stevens Lyrics by: Kyle Eastwood, Michael Stevens

c. "I THOUGHT I LOST YOU" — BOLT Music & Lyrics by: Miley Cyrus, Jeffrey Steele

d. "ONCE IN A LIFETIME" — CADILLAC RECORDS Music & Lyrics by: Beyonce Knowles, Amanda Ghost, Scott McFarnon, Ian Dench, James Dring, Jody Street

e. "THE WRESTLER" — THE WRESTLER Music & Lyrics by: Bruce Springsteen

Who would have thought? Bruce Springsteen competing against Beyonce Knowles and Miley Cyrus. Ok, I am not going to say anything. Nonetheless, Springsteen is no stranger to the Golden Globes. He won a Golden Globe for his song "Streets of Philadelphia" from the movie "Philadelphia" in 1993. So, we wish "The Boss" good luck with the new album and in the Golden Globes. BTW, for those of you who can't wait to see Springsteen back in action. He and the E Street Band will take the field for the Super Bowl XLIII Halftime Show next February 1. Alright, gotta split now. Ciao!

Unequivocally, Elvis Aaron Presley is one of the most revered American rock icons. Born in 1935 in Mississippi, he started recording back in 1954 when he was only 19 years old as a gift to his mother. But success did not arrive until he recorded the "Heartbreak Hotel" track that positioned him on the top of the charts. Undoubdtedly, Elvis' unorthodox dance moves made him popular among the younger enthusiastic demographic.

Before joining the military, Elvis Presley was already a star with eleven number ones and 4 albums. In addition, he had already participated in 4 films with enormous success at the box office. With the military, he spent two year and returned to the spotlight with the Frank Sinatra show whom he sang with duets like "Love Me Tender" and "Witchcraft" . For a 10 minute gig with the Frank Sinatra show Elvis charged $125.000. Sinatra himself had to pay out of pocket because his producer refused to pay for it. But it paid off big time since once the ratings came out, the Sinatra show had reached historical audience ratings. The show was viewed by over 40 million people.

But it wasn't until the seventies when he went from being an idol to a musical myth. In 1972, Elvis got divorced from Priscilla Ann-Beaulieau, whom he married 1967. The break up sent Elvis into a depression he had a hard time recovering from. And in 1973, "Aloha from Hawaii" was the the first concert in history broadcasted via satellite from Hawaii. The concert was actually viewed by over 1500 million people. It is also in this decade that problems with overeating and drug use started to deteriorate Elvis' health.

During 1976-1977 Elvis was no longer the strong, energetic idol that had conquered the world. He had gained a lot of weight, and even had a hard time remembering the lyrics of songs. His last concert took place on June 26, 1977 at the Indiana’s Market Square Arena. On the early morning of August 16, 1977, at around noon Elvis was found unconcious in his room's bathroom. He was immediately taken to the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where he was later pronouced dead.

But urban legends have it that "The King" is alive somewhere and that "he hasn't left" the building yet. One thing is for sure though Elvis remains alive for their fans who after 31 years of his death continue keeping his memory alive. So, we at Red Karaoke have added new Elvis karaokes tracks for you to sing and honor the memory of one of the greatest icons of the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Enjoy!

Oklahoma natives Tyson Ritter, Nick Wheeler, Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor are the names of the members of "The All American Rejects" a band that reached popularity with the release of the album "Move Along." Today, the band is one of the top pop rock bands, producing three U.S. Hot 100 top twenty hits with two reaching the top ten.

The All American Rejects album "Move Along" was certified double Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA. As for the band's third album, the band released "When the World Comes Down" last December 16, 2008 and has so far their first single off "When the World Comes Down", called "Gives You Hell" has reached #14 on VH1's Top 20 Countdown. So, these guys are doing well so far for a band that was founded back in 2001 by Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler. In fact, even the Oklahoma Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has honored the band as an "Uprising Star."

Recently, an LA Times review referred to the band's music as "relentlessly hooky singles destined to score teenage rom-com dance party sequences for time immortal, and it hasn't hurt that their emo-Adonis frontman Tyson Ritter has cheekbones that could slice bread." I guess the jury is still out as to whether frontman Tyson Ritter is just a pretty boy who can carry emo's poppiest tunes.

So what is your opinion? Well, here's "Move Along" for you to give it a try and have fun. And by the way, before I take off I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! Ciao.

No doubts about it, Kevin, Joe, and Nick have been quite busy creating music appealing mostly to that younger demo and have become in the process a new pop cultural phenomenom. The new album “A Little Bit Longer” contains 12 tracks, and according to music critics, marks a new evolving step in their careers as songwriters. And recently they were just nominated to their first Grammy Award in the category of Best New Artist. The 51st edition of the Grammys will take place on Sunday, February 9 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The show will air on CBS.

As for their career, although short, the Jonas Brothers have been quite active. They have released two albums “It’s About Time” in 2006, and “Jonas Brothers” in 2007. But music is not everything to these teens, they are also starting an acting career and have filmed their first 3D Movie, which will be released to theaters early next year. Although this is not their first time on screen, for those of you who saw the Hannah Montana 3D movie, the Jonas Brothers played also along Hannah Montana.

Last summer, the Jonas Brothers were on the road promoting “A Little Bit Longer”. According to Ticketmaster, a Disney Digital 3D production crew filmed the two shows in Anaheim, CA on July 13 and 14, which will be made into a theatrical movie and will be released in theatres as a 3D concert movie in January 2009.

As for the Grammys nomination, it won't be like a walk in the park. They'll be competing against Duffy, Adele, Lady Antebellum and Jazmine Sullivan. So, good luck with that!. And for those of you who did not know about it, it turns out the Jonas Brothers are fans of Coldplay. Joe Jonas was quoted recently saying, "we're all big fans of Coldplay, and their "Viva la Vida" is a great record. We got to meet Chris Martin recently, and it was amazing." So, have you heard their new stuff yet? If so, at Red Karaoke your opinion matters!

Wait a minute…is it just me or Duffy looks a bit like a way-young Melanie Griffith.. totally reminded me of her when I saw one of her videos for the first time a while back. Hey but Duffy can sing dude. I really liked her 'Mercy' song and guess what…amazing news! Duffy has actually been honored with a stunning three nominations at this year's Grammy Awards to be held on February 9.

Needless to say, Duffy must be like a kid when told she/he is going to Disneyland. After all, it's not everyday that you get nominated for a Grammy. Duffy is actually after the highly coveted 'Best New Artist' award, as well as Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her mega-smash hit single 'Mercy'. But that's not all. Duffy's debut album 'Rockferry' is also up for the Best Pop Vocal Album award, alongside legendary artists The Eagles and James Taylor. Tough competition if you ask me.

While you and I are getting ready to get together with friends and family to celebrate the holidays Duffy is packing for a trip to the land of the Babushka- that'd be Russia. No doubt about it, Duffy is business. She'll be traveling to Russia on December 21st to play a very special show for her fans in Moscow. According to Duffy's website, the gig will take place in the Barvikha Luxury Village Concert Hall near Moscow. Next March, the 24 year old Welsh singer/songwriter is also scheduled to be in China, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan…you name it. Now, that's living on the fast lane.

As for her "online politics", on a recent interview with The Guardian, Duffy said that she does not mind people illegally downloading her music because she believes most people who do are kids who cannot afford the CDs and will buy them when they get older. Wow! With those words, I am sure she stroke some chords with Generation BitTorrent.

Gotta jet now, but it goes without saying that I wish you all a Happy Holidays season. Now, it’s time for you to sing to the karaoke versions of "Mercy" and "Warwick Avenue."

Ciao.

And in the "Best Dance Recording" category the nominees are: Daft Punk for Harder Better Faster Stronger, Hot Chip for Ready for the Floor, Lady GaGa for Just Dance, Madonna for Give It 2 Me, Rihanna for Disturbia and Sam Sparro for Black and Gold…and the winner is…well, I guess you're gonna have to tune in to the CBS telecast of the 51st Grammy Awards Ceremony to be held on February 8. That's is if you want to find out if Lady GaGa is gonna take the award home with her.

Yeah, for those fans of the Electronica genre, the nomination of Lady Gaga for a Grammy Award probably makes them happy campers. Of course, this is her first Grammy Award nomination for the international blockbuster hit "Just Dance". BTW, we bring you the Grammy Award nominated "Just Dance" for you to sing and go GaGa. I couldn't believe this when I read it, but some critics are already talking about her being the heir of Britney Spear's princess of pop title. Not too shabby for a 22 year old from New York's Upper West Side.

In the meantime, Stefani Joanne Germanotta (Lady GaGa) is touring the country as an opening act for the New Kids on the Block. Yeah, do you remember those guys? Thought so. Recently on an interview with the New York Post, Lady GaGa put it this way, "we can make pop music that's a little bit left of center and a little edgy, that has something new and fresh to say . . . and still put it on Top 40 radio - it's the future." I guess that goes to say that her unorthodox synergies of electro/dance/pop genres are definitely a new mantra for years to come.

Well, we're glad for her. She brings some fresh originality to the music, fashion, art and tech space. "I've always been somebody that stands out in a crowd. I've been making clothes for myself and dressing the way I do for a really long time, so it's not a look for me, it's my lifestyle," she explained. Unsurpisingly, US Weekly called her "Pop's New Dance Diva" and compared her to Madonna. Well, I guess only time will tell. Jury is still out on this one.

So, time to wrap it up for me and time to go GaGa for you all by singing to the tune of "Just Dance". Happy Holidays!.

Linkin Park is one of those rock bands that rose to stardom at the turn of the century. Its peculiar and amazing style of mixing disimilar genres such as Rap and Metal catapulted them to fame. Although not necessarily the pioneers in this niche since other bands such as Anthrax and Red Hot Chili Peppers had also explored this uncharted territory. However, the differentiator for Linkin Park was that their lyrics were extremely sticky and easy to sing.

The initial success led the Linkin Park boys from Southern Cal to sell over 50 millions albums since 1996. Moreover, the band was the recipient of two Grammy Awards. One of their highly awarded album was "Hybrid Theory" that reached all time highs allowing the band to internationalize with world tours and overseas record sales.

"Meteora", their second album was actually even more popular than "Hybrid Theory." In fact during the first week of its release it sold over 800000 copies. For the first month, Linkin Park managed to sell over 3 million copies. In light of their success Linkin Park was invited by Metallica to participate in the 2003 Summer Sanitarium concert with Limp Bizkit, Mudvayne and Deftones.

Last year, the band released its most recent album entitled "Minutes to Midnight." A large number of fans were actually not too happy about the release because they perceived the band had gone too "comercial", and hence changing their original unique style. However, "Minutes to Midnight" has so far fared well. making the album's first single "What I've Done", debut at #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart.

So, yeah we've added Linkin Park most recent karaokes for you to sing and have fun. The debut list of Linkin Park karaokes includes:

Somewhere I Belong:

Points of Authority:

One Step Closer:

So, get on the groove and start singing now! BTW, Happy Holidays! to you all fans of Linkin Park.

I am not sure if you guys were into the alternative rock band Jane's Addiction. Come on that was not too long ago…stop making me feel old. But as a matter of fact, Perry Farrell, author of "Go All the Way", was the frontman of the band. He was also the person who actually spearheaded the creation of the now-famous Lolapalooza series of annual concert festivals.

As for 'Go All the Way' , "the song conjures up that adolescent feeling when a young man, whose been pursuing a girl he really likes, finally gets her," explained Farrell. "It's about the intense emotions when they go all the way." Farrell's "Go All The Way" was produced by Atticus Ross (NIN) and mixed by Alan Moulder, who has previously worked with bands such as Smashing Pumpkins and U2.

So, yesterday we presented to you the karaoke debut of Paramore's "Decode" single, part of of the teen film feature 'Twilight' soundtrack and today we're releasing another single of the "Twilight" album for you to shock and awe your friends and family. So, if you are into DJ club lizard music here we bring you one of the most popular tracks from DJ Peretz, a.k.a. Perry Farrell. Here's "Go All the Way Into the Twilight" for you to sing and -in best Christmas spirit - share now.

By now you probably have already seen/read about the Twilight teen movie. Twilight is an action packed, neo-vampire romantic teen flick where romance between a vampire and a human takes place. The storyline goes like this: Bella Swan has always been a little bit different and when her mother sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen, a boy unlike any she's ever met. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance.

Unlike the old vampire movies Edward does not have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood either. But things get a bit complicated because the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the temptation to make her a victim of his blood-sucking driven desires. Twilight is the first movie from the book series from author Stephanie Meyer. In fact, this is one of the most popular books written for young adults. Since 2004, over 50 million copies have been sold worldwide. In the U.S. only over 7.7 copies have been sold. As a matter of fact, last August 2, 'Breaking Dawn", the fourth book in the series was released and sold over 1.2 million units on the first day.

So yeah this is a shock-and-awe franchise, and of course, it needed a film feature to top it off. The movie has also been a success. Not to mention the Twilight soundtrack with music from Paramore, Linkin Park, Perry Farrell, Collective Soul and others. Paramore was actually awarded with a 2008 MTV Video Music Award in the category of Best Rock Video for the track Crushcrushcrush.

Alright so as an exclusive karaoke debut, we bring you Paramore's “Decode” track that was released on November 25, as part of a live album named "The Final Riot". So whatcha waiting for? If you saw the movie you're going to dig the music. Start recording and singing with your friends. Hope you enjoy it!
