American Idol's first runner-up is the second to ink a deal. Just days after Idol champ Jordin Sparks jumped in with Jive, Blake Lewis signed with Arista, says the Reporter. Blake's first disc is expected later this year.... A sneak listen of the first track off Madonna's new album netted mixed reactions when the deejay at Thursday's Pop Rocks bash sprung it on the crowd. "Everyone cheered and was excited, but when it started playing, few were dancing," a source tells the New York Post. "[It]sounds almost exactly like Britney's 'Slave 4 You.' The response was tepid at best."

That song was probably garbage. The thing about Madonna's new song is that the producer is Pharell Williams, and the beats and productions are always recycled versions of former songs that he did for other artists. How he can call himself a producer is ridicuous.

Lest we forget that Slave 4 U is a knock off of Nasty Girl, by the early 80s girl group Vanity 6.
