It’s been way too long since we’ve had a harpsichord in a song and it’s the most refreshing part of Pia Toscano’s first post- “American Idol” single. On the mid-tempo “This Time,” Toscano, who has signed to Interscope Records, is “mad as hell/ain’t gonna take it no more.” We’re never exactly sure what she’s angry about, but it would seem she’s had a fight with her boyfriend and she’s finally standing up to the creep. It’s meant to be empowering, we’re sure, but the Esther Dean-penned tune is clogged down in so many cliches, we bet the butterfly she mentions can’t...

The rumors have been swirling since the day after her shocking "American Idol" exit back in April, but Pia Toscano has officially been signed to Interscope Records. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Idol" songstress will release her debut single, "This Time," on July 12 and perform the song as part of her set during this summer's American Idols Live! Tour.
"This Time" was written by hitmaker Esther Dean, who is responsible for Rihanna's hit singles "S&M," "Rude Boy" and "What's My Name." Dean's musical stylings can also be heard on Nicki Minaj's smash "Super Bass." "This Time" is surprisingly not a ballad — which was Toscano's specialty during her short-lived time on "Idol." Instead, it is said to be an acoustic-guitar and beat-driven track.

New York — Chris Brown seemed a little contained Tuesday night at the Nokia Theatre stop of his Fan Appreciation Tour. Though he put on a clinic of showmanship, it was nothing like the huge, explosive shows to which he's grown accustomed. (And nothing like the explosion caused by his decision earlier this week to delete his Twitter account.)
While some critics say it was too soon after Brown's assault on Rihanna to put an album, let alone tour, the singer still has a sizeable fanbase that spans from grown grandma-age women to little children. Regardless of the size of the venue, Brown still had a sold-out concert in the world's largest media market.
