Roger Daltrey -- Concert Review
Roger Daltrey has dubbed his current solo jaunt the "Use It or Lose It" tour, but his show Friday night at the Nokia demonstrated that sometimes you can use it and lose it as well.

Full Story »
Sex Therapy
Robin Thicke delivers his signature smooth talk on "Sex Therapy," the first single from his as-yet-untitled fourth album.
Alter the Ending
The band's sixth studio album, "Alter the Ending," is a perfectly blended concoction of acoustic melodies, graceful harmonies and powerful anthems wrapped around the story of a man trying desperately to save a failing relationship.
According to You
Pop music has seen its share of vocalists attempt to play guitar, but few do so as successfully as Orianthi, who shreds and sings with equal aplomb.
Say Anything
Pop-punk band Say Anything's new self-titled album reflects the changing life of frontman Max Bemis.
Help Me
For the lead single from his new album "Colour," Latin Bitman finds a talented co-writer and guest vocalist in fellow Chilean artist Francisca Valenzuela, who moans bleak lyrics that tint the song with an appealing despondency.
Transition
Nearly nine months after the release of his self-titled album, Ryan Leslie continues to push the envelope musically, penning even more lustful lyrics, delivering sweet melodies and creating captivating productions.
Equivocada
For the first single from her Nov. 17 live album "Thalía en Primera Fila" (Thalía in the Front Row), Mexican pop star Thalía delivers a moving ballad about a once-serious relationship that turned out to be a mistake.
Fantasia
Young crooner Ivan's "Fantasia" is a throwback to '70s and '80s grupero, a Mexican genre that spawned some of Latin music's most enduring acts and classic songs.
A Very Special Christmas Vol. 7
The younger pop artists featured on "A Very Special Christmas Vol. 7" will certainly appeal to the Disney Channel set, but the album's infectious classics and varying musical styles will also likely draw in their parents, too.
Do You Remember
The saying goes: If it isn't broken, don't fix it. That seems to be the strategy Jay Sean and his team employed by releasing "Do You Remember" as the second single off his "All or Nothing" album.
Play On
There's no doubt that Carrie Underwood's third album, "Play On," is her best collection yet: Here, the artist seems to finally feel comfortable in her own skin.
Bleach (20th-Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
Unlike Nirvana's more polished, alternative-leaning breakthrough, 1991's "Nevermind," the sludgy backwoods material on "Bleach" reveals the humble beginnings of a band that would lead a new musical movement and earn itself a place in rock'n'roll history.
The Fall
Norah Jones' fourth album, "The Fall," may surprise some of her die-hard fans, or at least disarm them a bit. During the 13-song set, Jones ditches the gentle piano-playing of her previous work and rises to a new level of creative boldness.
Rated R
Rihanna may have been a good girl gone bad on her 2007 album, but on her new one, she's a good girl gone bad-ass.
The Quiet Times of a Rock and Roll Farm Boy
In many ways, Big Kenny and John Rich—who make up country duo Big & Rich—are the perfect couple.
Dreamgirls -- Theater Review
Any staging of the musical "Dreamgirls" has a lot of history to contend with. The current revival, playing a limited run at the Apollo Theater before beginning a national tour and a possible return to Broadway, is unlikely to erase anyone's memories.
Gangsta Luv
At first listen, Snoop Dogg's "Gangsta Luv" appears to have all the necessary elements for a hit.
Love, Peace, Joy at Christmas
The girl group Trin-I-Tee 5:7 delivers its first holiday album with the combined CD/DVD package "Love, Peace, Joy at Christmas."
Bad Romance
"I want your ugly, I want your disease/I want your everything as long as it's free," a mischievous Lady Gaga croons on the opening lines of "Bad Romance."
Family Christmas
The Clark Sisters' new holiday album, "Family Christmas," is truly a family affair as sisters Twinkie, Karen, Jacky and Dorinda are joined by younger members of the Clark clan. Karen's son, J.
Funhouse
On Pink's biggest pop hits, art has almost always imitated life. It's no different on the title track and fourth single from her "Funhouse" album, which readdresses the singer's rocky relationship with husband Corey Hart—and thank goodness for that.
Christmas Cheers
The a cappella group Straight No Chaser's second holiday-themed album, "Christmas Cheers," may feature traditional songs like "We Three Kings," "O Holy Night" and "Jingle Bells," but the vocal ensemble puts its own spin on the tunes using a variety of genres to spread winter cheer.
Christmas From the Heart
Former "American Idol" contestant David Archuleta's new holiday album, "Christmas From the Heart," puts the singer's mellifluous voice front and center and wins over the listener with his original renditions of classic holiday music.
A Cherry Cherry Christmas
The listener's reaction to the concept of Neil Diamond covering Adam Sandler's "The Chanukah Song" is a pretty good predictor of how he or she will respond to the third holiday compilation of Diamond's career.
Gold and Green
Christmas collections can present a slippery slope—albums of covers rarely stand up to the classics and sets of all new material struggle to capture the comfort and joy of the season.
