Is Madonna Hall of Fame worthy?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Longtime Boston Globe music critic Steve Morse, who was a member of the Rock Hall of Fame’s nominating committee for seven years, says he considers Madonna’s induction into the hall this coming Monday an embarrassment. “If you think of rock ‘n’ roll, Madonna is not the first name that comes to mind,” he says.

Would you miss the Grammys or Oscars?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thanks to the writers strike and the subsequent cancellation of the Golden Globes traditional awards show, the SAG Awards gave us the first televised red carpet and gala of the year on Sunday. But the strike is still looming over the Grammys, which are set for Feb. 10, and the Oscars, which are scheduled for Feb. 24.
How much would it matter to you if the Grammys and/or Oscars are scaled-back or even canceled this year? Would you lament the absence of star-studded TV viewing and photos of the fashion hits and misses, or would you even notice they were gone?
Miss California’s musical crowns
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There’s a new Miss California - again.
Miss California USA organizers say they have corrected a voting snafu that gave the title to the wrong contestant, Christina Silva. Critics claim the switch is less about a vote tabulation error and more about Silva’s Ecuadoran and Mexican heritage.
The “new new ” Miss California is Raquel Beezley, a 21-year-old waitress.
Silva, however, got to keep her crown, the sash, the necklace and received her $1,500 entry fee back.
Did pageant officials handle this appropriately? Should Silva have relinquished her title?

Can Hannah Montana sing?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

How much ‘Idol’ is too much?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
‘American Idol’ alums dominated the American Music Awards on Sunday. Chris Daughtry’s band (Daughtry, natch) won awards for Pop-Rock Album, Breakthrough Artist, Adult Contemporary Artist, while Carrie Underwood matched his three with the Female Country Artist, Country Album and T-Mobile Text-In awards. Oh, and reigning champ Jordin Sparks was a presenter.
How do you feel about the ‘Idol’ dominance? Is it justified or is it just too much?
