American Idol Season 12 Starts on Star World Philippines!

Starworld Philippines just made my evening extra special when they held a viewing party at posh URBN at the Fort Strip in Bonifacio Global City a few days ago. I had so much fun with media and celebrity friends as we all watched Season 12 of American Idol. Yes! You heard that right, they just started!

This season's esteemed judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson. American Idol is still hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

Oh Santa It's Nicki Minaj!

It looks like I'm on my way to search for Nicki Minaj. I kinda like her songs, particularly this one even if it is a revival of some sort. There are not that many female rappers in the US these days so this is somehow a breath of fresh air. Not to compare her with Lady Gaga because that is another issue. The weird costumes, catchy tunes and weird vocals are giveaways but then again she is doing it in her own way. I wonder if she credits the other as inspiration.





Mariah is back with another hit called Oh Santa! and it has been topping the charts since the first week of December 2010. I wonder what will happen to this new Christmas Album, will it be timeless as the other older ones or will this just be a fad on holidays? I wonder...

So what are you playing at this time of the year? Did you buy albums or download them for free? What is your current LSS? These are the two songs that stood out on my turf so let me know whats yours okay? =)
