So, you may remember before I mentioned Alexz Johnson of Instant Star and how she's going to be releasing an album sometime soon.  Well, recently I bought a song from the show called "Love to Burn" off Amazon. While Alexz sings the song on the show, her version was not allowed on the soundtrack due to Alexz's then-label. Instead, co-star Cory Lee stepped in to offer her version of the song. Here, I offer you links to both versions. Personally, while I like Alexz's version better overall, Cory's is really growing on me. Check them out and let me know which one you think is the better version.

I just read in the "Touch My Body" topic of Pulse that Mariah is debuting the video for the song on BET this week. Check the post for date and time.

I'm curious to see what she's gonna come up with for this one. I just heard the song for the first time the other day and it's pretty good. I guess I wouldn't call it my favorite Mariah song, but it's above quite a  few of the songs she's released lately. The song has a nice r and b sound to it and a nice melody on the chorus that Mariah sounds great on.

Also, for any Instant Star/Alexz Johnson fans out there here's some new info. According to a post by the executive producer of the show, Alexz has, in fact built a MySpace where she's going to keep fans updated on her career. He also said he's heard some of her stuff for the solo CD and it's good. In other updates, he said that the final season of the show will air in June, most likely, and the Soundtrack will closely follow. I wonder if her new label will have the restrictions that Capitol did? Guess we'll have to wait and see...

So, I heard from a few different sources that Alexz Johnson does NOT have an official MySpace. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but check these pages with caution. For the most reliable information, go to the official Instant Star forum and check it out. The executive producer of Instant Star often posts there with inside info.
