  • Goodbye Garcia?

    With slightly over 2 hours to go until the results show, Andrew Garcia is in danger of being sent home.

    That’s the opinion of 100 percent of Sonic Clashers playing this week’s Spring Singing Contest. (Hey, you can play too!  We need you to CAST YOUR VOTE BEFORE the East Coast version of the results show airs.   This season’s winner gets bragging rights and a $25 Amazon gift certificate).

    How bad was Andrew last night and in the previous weeks?   Well, there’s that one hundred percent thing.  Writing about last night’s performance show at Roheblius, our own Double G wrote  about Garcia singing The King with still-clenched teeth, “If they did Elvis: The Corny Musical, Andrew could perform this song. This dude’s going home tomorrow.”

    What do YOU think?  There’s still time to vote.

    And tune in tonight now that musical director Ricky Minor–in a strangely diminished role this year–shows up after word broke that Kevin Eubanks was leaving The Conan Killer Tonight Show only to be replaced by Ricky.

  • Today’s Contest – Pick The Bottom Two

    After a surprise move meant no one got the bonus points for someone going home, the Sonic Spring Singing Contest returns.

    After tonight’s performance (and with the deadline of no later than when the results show airs on the East Coast tomorrow), you have a chance to pick up points for the Bottom Two and up to 4 bonus points if two singers are sent home and you pick both correctly.

    We didn’t do so hot last week.  Only MT & Double G managed a point and that was for sitting Andrew Garcia in The Bottom Two.

    MT leads the competition with 8 points, Hea Jin is in second place with 6 points and there are a whole mess of people with 3-5 points.   Sonic Newsie Double G has 10 points, but is ineligible to win the $25 Amazon gift certificate up for grabs.

  • Dr. Dre And Jay-Z To Introduce Detox?

    Dr. Dre
    I looked at the calendar about three times and no, today isn’t April Fool’s Day. That was last week. Thus, I think you can believe the news about Dr. Dre’s Detox update and not be considered a fool if he pulls the ball away Lucy-style from us.

    But, Dre did use the word definitely.

    And I’m definitely gonna be putting out the album this year. Finally. I think everyone is gonna be happy with it.

    Within that is the news that Dr. Dre and Jay-Z collaborated on the song Under Pressure, which hopefully isn’t an Ice Ice Baby remake. The song may drop within a couple of weeks.

    It’s been 11 years since Dre last dropped an album. Will Detox finally come out? The only thing I’m sure of is that it won’t be the hip hop opera that he once promised.
