It's getting late in the day on Friday and, having enjoyed Allison Iraheta's acoustic performance of Don't Waste the Pretty for the Entertainment Weekly folks, I'm thinking of taking the kids to a Christmas parade tonight.

Adam Lambert didn't break the 200,000 mark with For Your Entertainment in its first week out, but he got awfully close. For Your Entertainment sold more than 198,000 copies last week, enough to debut at No. 3 on Nielsen SoundScan's list of top current albums.

I won't even try to convince you that Allison Iraheta's Just Like You is the best album by an American Idol Season 8 contestant. But I will tell you that it's the one I've listened to most, and the one I suspect I'll play more going forward than either Adam Lambert's or Kris Allen's.

Whenever she spoke on American Idol, Allison Iraheta seemed perpetually cheerful -- practically perky, even. But on her debut, Just Like You, Allison finds material better suited to a voice of fine-grain sandpaper. "I like singing angry!" says the 17-year-old singer.

I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving. If anything memorable happened to you or your family, I'd love to hear about it. I haven't been as active here the last few days as I'd like to be -- not because I've been taking some time off, but because I've been in the middle of a big holiday-music ...

If you missed out on Daughtry's performance at Thursday's Dallas Cowboys-Oakland Raiders game like I did, you should still be able to see the band perform Life After You, No Surprise and Home on YouTube. Daughtry helped the Salvation Army kick off its annual Red Kettle campaign this year.

If you thought Adam Lambert would sing For Your Entertainment for a morning crowd on CBS' Early Show, you thought wrong. Adam began his two-part performance on the show with Whataya Want From Me -- probably the kind of performance his American Idol fans expect from him.

The network says it also got some compliments, though not as many. Early Nielsen numbers say 14.2 million people watched the ...
