Forget fireworks, beach visits and barbecues. There’s only one real way to celebrate the Fourth of July: by sitting back and listening to the melodic sounds of the two most adorable singers alive today. That’s what lucky concert attendees in New York City and Washington D.C.

Looks like someone needs a hug from Caitlin Beadles… Justin Bieber, who is the one typically causing others to cry in his presence, broke down a bit during a concert this week in Cincinnati. The young shaggy-haired stud was performing a rendition of “Down to Earth,” a song written about his parents divorce, and couldn’t stop the tears from flowing on stage.

After Tweeting a photo of his head partly shaven, Adam Lambert officially debuted his unusual new hairstyle at last night’s MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada. The unique look helped Lambert become the talk of the red carpet, which is saying a lot when Perez Hilton shows up in a panda-themed suit. Concert-goers around the country will have a chance to view Lambert – and his flowing, lopsided locks – in person, starting tomorrow night in New York City when his Glam Nation tour begins

She started season nine as the favorite, she faltered near the finish line, but Crystal Bowersox came through when it mattered most last night. Of the six total songs covered by her and Lee DeWyze, Crystal put on the top two performances

In his music video for “If I Had You,” Adam Lambert combines the worlds of Willy Wonka with Thriller and Interview with the Vampire . Sounds about right for the flamboyant artist, doesn’t it? But Lambert toned his look down a bit for a performance on The Tonight Show Friday evening, merely donning a pair of zebra-inspired pants for a rendition of this same single

We always knew Justin Bieber had a young fan base, but this is ridiculous (and adorable)! Just a couple weeks after presenting a five-year old Adam Lambert impersonator to the world, we’re excited to melt your hearts with the following video. The subject makes Lambert’s cute follower look like a senior citizen

American Idol viewers made the right, obvious choice last night, sending Casey James home. The long-haired singer has come a long way since being depicted as nothing but eye candy for Kara DioGuardi, but he was clearly the worst performer on Tuesday and reacted to his elimination with humility.

Lee DeWyze threw down the real gauntlet, according to Randy Jackson. His rendition of “Hallelujah” was simply stunning, said Ellen DeGeneres. The singer is the heart of the show, gushed Kara DioGuardi.

Or would the next Lady Gaga be more accurate? At his school’s talent show this week, then-unknown Greyson Chance took to the piano and performed an amazing, dead-on rendition of Gaga’s hit “Paparazzi.” Age: 12 . Number of YouTube views: 14,669,491 .

Like Lindsay Lohan without a drink in her hand, or Kim Kardashian without the paparazzi around her, it’s official: Casey James is lost without his guitar. The one-time favorite is in serious trouble of going home this week, following an abysmal rendition of “Blue Skies” on American Idol last night. Simon Cowell summed him up well, saying Casey wasn’t “fantastic” and seemed awkward and embarrassed.
