“The Vision of Love” – that’s what American Idol star Kris Allen has dubbed his new single. Once word spread that his new single had released, yes, like Bieber’s single, the news began trending Worldwide.

Listen to the song below:

And you can buy it, here:

The universe needs more love in it! Stand for The Vision of Love! http://t.co/qyk7LfDT

The only problem here – he released his single the same day as Justin Bieber’s new single. Not a good PR move on his part, but for what it’s worth, Allen’s song is better, by a landslide.

Britney Spears close to signing deal to become a judge on @TheXFactorUSA. Could this be the comeback she needs?

— Judy Greene (@MeenGreene) April 11, 2012

Poor Britney Spears has been unemployed for so long, it’s about time she gets some good news! It looks like she’ll be named as a new judge on “X Factor” any day now.

Sources confirm the singer is in final-stage negotiations with Fox and X Factor producers to join the series this fall. Spears has reportedly haggled a $15 million payout for the gig (slightly more than Jennifer Lopez snagged for American Idol).

If the deal closes, Spears could be an ideal choice to boost music competition’s ratings: She has both credible music industry experience and a chaotic personality that’s lent itself to fun headlines over the years. That’s the type of celebrity mixture that Factor chief Simon Cowell can work with.

Britney Spears has been offered $15 million to be an X-Factor judge. The courts/conservatorship must agree

Word is, Britney Spears is thisclose to joining #TheXFactor as a judge. The show still needs another judge… Mariah or Pink would be great!

RT @AKrands: @dizzyfeet did jessica and phillip dominate the votes each week!?[NO IT HAS CHANGED WEEK ON WEEK, JOSH, SKYLAR, COLTON, ELISE!]

— Nigel Lythgoe (@dizzyfeet) May 18, 2012

Soulful young singer Joshua Ledet was eliminated last night from American Idol, setting up the finale next week between pop diva-in-training Jessica Sanchez and Dave Matthews/Bob Seger-ish groove crooner Philip Phillips. Idol’s producer Nigel Lythgoe took to Twitter to answer questions about the vote results and to share a few other tidbits. His little revelation above about the wild swings in this season’s top vote-getter slot is newsworthy given how closely the show guards such information. (Related info about past vote controversies here.)

Next week #IDOL finalists will sing:- 1.Their favorite song of the series. 2. A song chosen by Simon Fuller. 3.Their individual #new-single.

I promised I would reveal my favorite when they were voted off the show so….. it was Joshua. However, I am thrilled for Jessica & Phillip.

— Nigel Lythgoe (@dizzyfeet) May 18, 2012

RT @menchie_43: I think he's the real favorite of the 3 judges. Am I correct? @2PeachPonders [I BELIEVE COLTON WAS A FAVORITE AS WAS SKYLAR]
