Last chance to see Jonas Brothers in 2009
Possibly ever with Nick
What happens in San Juan
Stays in San Juan
The same day Selena Gomez plays Tempe, Arizona, and yes, her PR team has ignored all requests from this blog, you can catch the final 2009 show of the Jonas Brothers tour in San Juan, P.R. Maybe the last show ever with Nick.
While you're at it, enjoy a Major League Beisbol (Baseball) game, watching your favorite U.S. diamond stars.
On Dec. 13, JBs play the Coliseo, or Coliseum, of San Juan. Playoffs for the Puerto Rican league is Dec. 11.
The JBs love sports. Maybe they'll be smart enough to play in a MLB game while in Puerto Rico. Say hi to my friends Mario & Pieto, Joe, Kevin & Nick. Went to college with Mario.

Consumer alert
Don't pay expensive prices for
Taylor Swift Sounds of the Season
Holiday Collection
Originally released in 2007, it was a collectors item. Target smartly re-issued it this year due to Swift stealing Miley Cyrus' capability to turn everything she touches into gold. I know, Miley who?
Nick to Kevin & Joe
We're not Hanson
Future of Jonas Brothers band
My daughter came up with Nick Jonas' answer to Kevin and Joe when they ask about the future of the Jonas Brothers band - We're not Hanson. Perfect answer if Nick thinks about it!
If Joe and Kevin want a Jonas Brothers band, Frankie better learn how to play piano, guitar and drums.

Holiday time means breakups
Nick Jonas premiering new single
New band without brothers
Jonas has recruited members of Prince's former band. He will continue to appear in ABC's Jonas Brother TV show, plus J.O.N.A.S., which is scheduled to appear sometime in 2010. He will also tour in the spring with The Administration - not the Jonas Brothers.
A CD by the same name as the single is due out Feb. 2, songs reportedly include a remake of Jonas Brothers Tonight. Other tentative titles include, The Rose Garden, Olive & An Arrow, Conspiracy Theory and State of Emergency.

American Music Awards 2009
Will Lady GaGa steal Taylor Swift’s crown?
Beyonce wins
First, let’s give Taylor Swift the favorite female country artist right now. Let’s give Michael Jackson pop/rock favorite album. Doubt if Swift is a match for death.
Beyonce will walk with favorite female soul/r&b artists.
Unlike other music prognosticators, I don’t believe Michael Jackson will triumph in the artist of the year. Believe it will go to Swift, due to the money factor, but Lady GaGa has a chance due to popularity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOV 22
6:41 p.m. - Taylor Swift beats Lady GaGa best female pop/rock. That was a given, as is country female
7:15 - Beyonce best female soul/R&B, what did I tell you?
8:12 In your face - best female country - Swift!
8:53 - If you're counting, 4 out of 4 Swift best artist while Jackson gets album.

Correction: Emily Osment All the Right Wrongs
Charting second week on
Billboard Top 200
Would like to publicly apologize. Previously reported Emily Osment's All the Right Wrongs had not charted on Billboard. It is in its second week, topping at 117 on the charts, this week 168.
When searching Osment on Billboard, it says (also, no listing of All the Right Wrongs when you search it on Billboard),
Live Dates
No events scheduled.Upcoming Releases
No upcoming releases.Reviews
No recent reviews available.News & Features (0)
Searching the charts, there is no photo of the CD, so I missed it two weeks in a row. Wishing Osment success as great as her voice.
Also found this review on Billboard:
After flirting with teen pop on her early recordings, Emily Osment underwent a rock & roll makeover for her debut EP, All the Right Wrongs. Songwriting sessions with Eve 6 and Plain White T's yielded enough punky fodder for this six-track disc, which still bears traces of Disney-approved pop but also features songs like "You Are the Only One." A spunky, '80s-styled ode to adolescent love that features Osment's rawest vocal to date, "You Are the Only One" proves that Osment may eventually eclipse her Disney peers, provided she has more songs like this in her arsenal. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide
Torn between Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond
Never watched Dancing with the Stars
Tough choice
Just found out two of the four finalists are Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond.
Fell in love with Kelly Osbourne's voice from the very first note of her Shut Up CD, later renamed Changes. She was Tween Music before the genre existed.
I loved Donny for being the first guy to show his pubic hair on the cover of Rolling Stone. Wait, that was David Cassidy. I've always gotten them confused. Way back in the '70s Alice Cooper sang Department of Youth from Welcome to My Nightmare. Live he would sing, We've got the power, and who gave it to you - Donnie (yes, it was Donnie, not Donny back then - remember Donnie & Marie?) Osmond, Donnie Osmond.

Taylor Swift youngest winner
CMA Entertainer of the Year
Would bet Swift would take home the female vocalist award, but ABC is smart. Need to cover the baby-boomer audience, so most likely will go to Reba McEntire or Carrie Underwood. Personally, I vote for Selena Gomez! Aly & AJ would have won, but haven't heard from them musically since that newly discovered African dinosaur roamed the earth.
Also predicting Swift's Fearless gets album of the year. Could also go to Sugarland. Anyone else is a shill.
Start a Band by Brad Paisley with Keith Urban has a shot at beating Swift's Love Story for video of the year. Wait, who are we kidding? This is ABC awards where $$$$ rules - Swift! Beyonce if Kanye West is judging.
What, 15 didn't get nominated for song of the year? Swift not in that category?
8:30 p.m. update - Video of the year, no, not Beyonce, Love Story.
9:15 p.m. - Marketing $ociologist correct again - Taylor Swift CMA entertainer of the year!
