Such a different guy from the kid on stage who wouldn't take his hood off the whole club show five years back. Glad he's emerging as his own artist - and learning to enjoy the spotlight.

Breanne Düren emerges a fresh talent from behind Owl City

It's a hard knock life for a backup musician. Playing or singing on another person's album, supporting them on tour, it's all well and good but it leaves a lot of talented artists sitting in the shadows of another's fame.... Continue reading

Dude, take a chill pill. The song ISN'T a complete joke, as it is their first single. And as for it being ironic, that's all well and good, but in the end it's just plain bad, whether it's ironic or not. As an ATL fan, i was disappointed with the whole thing. You can be humorous and clever and do it well, and it can be great. Or you can do it poorly and get... this.

While i appreciate the connection many people feel to "Glee," in the end it is just a television show, and the Kings of Leon turning down the offer was just business, plain and simple. It's as though the band turned down having their song on "American Idol" or something other program. Many of the people scrambling to have their music on "Glee" now aren't doing it because they believe in music programs, they're doing it because they want their song to hit number one on iTunes. It's not even as though "Glee" is a TV show of kids who are getting made fun of anymore - now it's a show full of actors with record deals and other wonderful opportunities covering songs by Britney Spears for an hour. Personally, i think that as long as the band turned it down politely the first time, Ryan Murphy has no reason to be this mad. Kings of Leon feared being overplayed (which, by the way, they were - i still can't listen to "Use Somebody" without cringing) and so they turned down an offer to be on TV, one of many they got at that time. In the end, "Glee" is great, but this whole fight is an overreaction and extremely stupid. At the moment i'm not happy with either side, especially after this: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/glee-creator-blasts-kings-of-leon-drummer-for-insulting-tweet-20110127
