In this week's top 12: A song that was thought to be lost to the demise of the VHS era, Justin Timberlake pouring out his heart, televised baseball signaling the possible thawing of the northeast, and Nick: The Twitter. 1. Finding the video for Juniper's "Making Gerard Smile" on YouTube after years ...

So, people are really upset about the idea that backing tapes were used during Jennifer Hudson's and the E Street Band's (separate) performances at the Super Bowl on Sunday, huh? I guess the idea that the biggest annual event in America is a heavily planned event that leaves very little to chance is...

There are two reasons that I'm glad I kept putting off my treatise on the very unfortunate Bob Dylan vs. will.i.am smackdown in honor of Pepsi: First, MTV News' James Montgomery pretty much summed up my thoughts on the overall "the present is kinda crappy, let's just OD on sugar" feel of the ad; and...

Lil Wayne doesn't hate Rochester; he just wants to give the people upstate the best show possible, according to his manager. “It would have been too difficult to travel with the entire band, then turn around and head to Calgary the next day.

After the jump, behold a pretty subjective top 12 of the year (thanks to our technological limbo I can't run any sort of ...

It's no secret that the denizens of Idolator HQ are big fans of both Fall Out Boy and really smart pop, so having FOB frontman Patrick Stump and pop troubadour Butch Walker interview each other is kind of the perfect way to introduce our new series of conversations between artists. After the jump, t...

Rik Cordero's video for the Roots' rejected Patrick Stump cameo single is confusing. While it's appropriately set at a birthday party, the logic seems to stop there.
