Look, I know Idolator used to be owned by Gawker. But if we really were the Gawker of the music industry, you would have seen so much coverage of Clive Davis' Grammy party. You would hear where it was, who was playing, who was invited, who wasn't invited, who sat next to who, and how you could crash...

Welcome to Idolator's liveblog of the 2009 Grammy Awards, a year in which there will be more spectacle and less award-doling than ever.

The single art for Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" was unleashed today. Goodbye, angsty Kelly of My December , welcome back Grammy-winning pop Kelly. We've missed you, since u been gone! Below is a clip of Clive Davis and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald briefly playing a rough demo of "...

A boffin? I learn a new word from Clive Davis, who noticed this post of mine promoting the iPhone app RjDj. Clive is not ready to abandon the natural ambient sound of the real world. Yesterday, I made a video clip -- intending to overlay the video with the soundtrack I was hearing as I spoke. But I ...

Whitney Houston really seems to have put the pipe away for good. She performed at London's Battersea Park on Thursday night and was reportedly in fine form. Houston reportedly "looked and sounded amazing," and was "fantastic," according to an audience member. Her name is not Susan performed at the C...

The "song contest" portion of American Idol, in which hopefuls around the country pen the coronation song for one of the Davids whoever winds up winning this season, is enough of a laughingstock that even Simon Cowell's mocking it: "You can guarantee either the word 'proud' or 'moment' will be in th...
