Chris Richardson On The Right Track After 'American Idol'

Chris Richardson
Chris Richardson may have come to national attention thanks to American Idol, but there's a lot more to the singer-songwriter than just a fifth-place finish on a reality TV show. He recently sat down with BFTV to share the complete picture of who he is and talk about establishing a music career after being in the television spotlight.

"I feel like I've gotten past that show, and [I'm] being introduced as Chris Richardson, and not so much as Chris Richardson from American Idol," reflected the Virginia native, who released the single "Joy and Pain" in August of 2012. Asked if he was concerne...

Pop Topper of the Week: Demi Lovato - 'Really Don't Care' (feat. Cher Lloyd)

May 14th, 2013 8:15pm EDT
Demi Lovato
With the wide success from her third album, Unbroken, Demi Lovato is back and better than ever with her newest album self titled Demi. Her hit single “Heart Attack” has peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is the opener to Demi, but I personally don’t think it’s the best song on the album. The album is full of Lovato’s signature ballads as well as a handful of golden dance tracks, with a song named “Really Don’t Care” being one of the best. That is why the Pop Topper of the Week is “Really Don’t Care” (feat. Cher Lloyd) by Demi Lovato.

Lovato herself originally leaked the CD on You...

Pop Topper Of The Week: 98 Degrees - 'Microphone'

May 11th, 2013 10:00am EDT
98 Degrees
What do Justin Timberlake, Destiny’s Child, and Mariah Carey have in common? They all are artists who took a longer-than-expected hiatus from the music industry to pursue other careers (or raise children). From these long breaks, these musicians have been able to pop back into the music scene and are doing surprisingly well.

So it seems like legendary pop acts are in, right? But of course! As pop fanatics, we never miss an old icon coming back into the scene (I mean, look at Madonna), and that is why we’ve named “Microphone” by 98° as the Pop Topper of the Week!

In the time that has pas...

Justin Bieber's "Believe" world tour has been anything but smooth, and Sunday night was no exception as the singer was confronted by a fan who rushed onstage to get a closer glipse of the star.

The fan got past Bieber's security briefly, but enough to run up and hug him from behind before a pair of guards sudued him, one of them pushing Bieber out of harm's way and knocking over his piano in the process.

Bieber escaped unscathed and kept singing while his crew rushed to re-set his piano. He was in the middle of his hit single "Believe."

"Dubai. Nothing stops the show. 2 more to go. #BELI...
