the song on itself was really cool, ( i heart better )

I think he is a pretty good singer, but this performance was bad. The dancing was sloppy, and he kept going in and out....at least he sang live i guess.

– British songstress Estelle, who had a worldwide success with her hit song “American Boy” featuring Kanye West, has since ceased to climb on the charts and was hit with flop after flop. The latest being the first single called “Freak” from her upcoming album “All Of Me,” which was a totally new style for Estelle, produced by the Techno man himself David Guetta.
Seeing that the risky musical moves did not pay off, Estelle decided to return to her mellow/ballad roots with her second single, “Fall In Love” which sounds too much like

– Kelis has unveiled the art work for her latest single called “4th of July (Fireworks) / Segue 2″ which was produced by DJ Ammo. All I can say is that the cover has managed to captivate the true essence of the electronica, dance vibe of the song in a very bold and euphoric way.
4th of July is taken off Kelis’ “Flesh Tone” which is her upcoming fifth studio album out on July 6, 2010 in the United States.

Share and Enjoy:– Singer Estelle recently stated how much she would like to work with the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige. Estelle was brought to the mainstream scene by both John Legend and Kanye West, and has seen a large amount of success since that time. When asked about how she felt about Blige, the singer revealed that she was a big fan of her music and stated that she would like to work with Blige in the future.
“I love her! I keep saying that,” Estelle stated. “I’ve been saying that for a year now, so at some point it’s gonna’ happen.”
She is currently working on her third studio album, entitled “All of Me.” She said that she considers Blige to be her inspiration and role model for all of the revolutionary work that Blige had done earlier in her career.
“She’s the reason I sing,” Estelle said. Quite the compliment.
She recently met Blige for the first time in a nightclub in London. It has been reported that she was so moved by the encounter that she actually cried while meeting Blige. She was surprised to find that Blige not only knew who Estelle was, but was actually a fan of her music.
Both singers are known for taking on real life relationship issues in their songs. Many have said that Estelle sings with a style that is similar to that of Blige’s. Her latest admissions only further the rumor that Estelle borrowed a large portion of her style from the famed singer.
Share and Enjoy:– Ne-Yo will be making his return to the R&B scene in the coming weeks, according to recent reports. The release of his next album, that is yet-to-be-titled has been set for June. The album had previously been slated for a September release, but it is clear that the singer would like to capitalize on the rush of purchases that are usually associated with June music releases; just in time for summer! Ne-Yo has been busy in his off time, writing songs for a number of high profile artists. The singer started his career as a writer, but later would go on to release his own music, much in the same vein as Lady Gaga.
The cover art for the first single called Beautiful Monster was recently released. The cover is much more dark and grim than his previous art works, and it is not currently clear if the change in tone will also reflect his music, although reports have said that that is highly likely. In a recent interview, Ne-Yo also told reporters that he was working on his own film script, in hopes that he would be able to find funding to make the movie.
He said that many of the songs on his album were inspired by the script that he has been writing.
“I developed a script and I’m in the process of getting a Hollywood studio to turn it into a movie,” Ne-Yo said in the interview. “My album is a series of songs inspired by the script that I wrote, but it’s not a musical.”

– Nicole Scherzinger has a new song called “Nobody Can Change Me” that she premiered on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show this morning. ‘Nobody Can Change Me’ is one of those female empowering/cry of independence tracks that will go unnoticed because of the bad lyrics and overpowering beats.
Hey at least she was trying to put out a positive message and her voice still sounds good.
Nicole Scherzinger will be taking the stage one more time this evening in hopes of winning ABC’s Dancing With The Stars’ trophy. Rumors claimed that the singer might perform ‘Nobody Can Change Me’ on the competition tonight.

In the mini black and white mini film the Barbados can be seen rocking it out with Travis Barker (Blink-182)’s battery while dressed in a bold latex outfit and wearing a red wig inspired by the Crazy Horse dancers.
“Rockstar 101″ on which legendary rocker Slash collaborated is from RiRi’s latest album “Rated-R.”
This girl sure knows how to crawl on the floor nude and be the sexy beast of her male fans’ fantasy.

In the raunchy clip Chris can be seen licking, kissing, touching and caressing all the known places of the female anatomy. I guess Brown really wanted to put the following message out : I can handle my woman in bed.
“No Bullshit” is taken from the singer’s “Fan of a Fan” mixtape which is a collaboration with rapper Tyga.

Share and Enjoy: – The “Miss Independent” singer better known as Ne-Yo is back with a new sparkling uptempo track called “Beautiful Monster” that surfaced today.
The star has decided to stick with the direction of electro pop that he took on the previous album “Year of the Gentleman” that was released in 2008.
The track sounds good and will set fire in the dance clubs all over Europe but we are not sure it will blow up on the charts.

The song is uplifting and fun and perfect for summer. Calling it worst then fireflies is a terrible thing to say because that song is just all sorts of wrong.
May 6, 2010 2:43 PMAnonymous #1 read my mind, LOL. I like Pixie, and I enjoy her music, however, THIS particular song should NOT have been released as a single... or be the TITLE track of the album. With that said, I can't wait for her the US release!

– When any music legend looks like they are going down hill, there is no doubt that it dents the industry. Next in line is Janet Jackson, a singer that has spent nearly 30 years producing records. Throughout this period of time she has managed to sell a huge 100 million records on a world wide basis, establishing herself as one of the most popular female singers of all time.
Unfortunately, according to recent reports, she has decided to cease producing albums for the future. Her ex-boyfriend Jermaine Dupri had a few words to say about the news release, suggesting that Janet had mentioned a few times that there was simply no real opportunity as far as producing albums is concerned these days.
Of course, she does have something else in the pipeline, so we will be seeing her around. It seems that Janet is going to try her hand at acting and is looking to develop that side of her career much further than anyone imagined.
People may think that is the end of her singing career necessarily. Reports suggest that Janet mentioned the budget for an album makes it not financially viable. On the other hand the odd single may be released as they seem to produce a much better return for a well established singer like herself.

– Alicia Keys has unveiled a sneak peek of her upcoming music video for the song Un-thinkable (Im Ready) earlier today. In the emotional, heartbreaking and powerful Jake Nava directed-clip Keys (with the help of Chad Michael Murray as her love interest) takes a look at interracial dating in the past and present.
Un-thinkable (Im Ready)
Un-thinkable (Im Ready) which features Drake in a very mysterious way (I do not hear him on the song, he will not appear in the video but he is strangely credited on the track) will serve as the third single from “The Element of Freedom.”
Share and Enjoy:– Well, that was fast, instead of waiting for Monday Mary J. Blige has decided to premiere the music video for her latest single called “We Got Hood Love” on BET today. “We Got Hood Love” features Trey Songz and is set to be Blige’s third US single from off her “Stronger with Each Tear” CD.
The Chris Robinson-directed clip is well done and tells the cliche tales of hood love which is basically a woman naive enough to believe that her cheating and abusive man will change, so like a clueless child she sticks around to endure the constant pain, shame and drama.
For someone who is always talking about her own struggles with men I am disappointed Mary did not convey a more positive message in this clip.

May 4, 2010 1:14 PMFor those of you who don't know "Why Don't You Love" is a bonus track from her third studio album "I Am… Sasha Fierce." Not to long ago it peaked to #1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs. As a gift to her fans she has decided to premiere the video.
Posted byALi I'm not really the biggest fan of Miley Cyrus but I have to say I really enjoyed the video. She clearly is going for a sexier look but isn't over doing it at all. It's fun and tasteful and I'm actually excited to see what else she has planned.

– Keeping certain secrets about yourself can be a hard thing to accomplish when you are a world renowned pop star who is followed everywhere by a line of photographers snapping photos of you. Rihanna recently decided to visit a sex shop in Paris, and was caught in the act by a number of different paparazzi. While she was in the sex shop, Rihanna was followed by her fans and the media into the store. While outside, she spent time with a number of her fans, chatting and taking pictures. She then entered the store with her entourage, searching for a little inspiration for her wildly sexy videos.

– Beyonce and Jay-Z will be no longer living in New York City, and instead will move to rural Pennsylvania. The two wed several months ago after having been together for several years. Their ceremony was captured by several aerial photographers as they sailed above the venue; the top of a skyscraper in New York. Now, it appears that the couple is looking for something other than the city life that they have been accustomed to. Reportedly, the two bought a multi-million dollar house in secluded acres in eastern Pennsylvania. The story started off as an Internet rumor, but has attracted a large amount of attention to Schuyllkill County, Pennsylvania.
The rumors grew legs after Beyonce was spotted at several businesses in the area. Those businesses include Boyer’s supermarket and Heisler’s dairy bar. Jay-Z has also been spotted driving a black Lamborghini around the town. Their arrival in the small town has many of their fans excited to catch a glimpse of them, even provoking two fans to drive up to the gate outside of their house in hopes that they will be able to get a look at the two Grammy award winning artists.
“I’m gonna tell everyone I’m their neighbors. It’s inside!” said Shilling, who is 20 years old.
It seemed far fetched that Jay-Z and Beyonce would be moving to such a rural area of Eastern Pennsylvania. The house that they supposedly bought was listed at $11.9 million, and features 16,000 square feet of living space. The house also has wonderful views of several mountains and other natural beauty in the area.
– Beyoncé Knowles is representing Brooklyn with a new tattoo on her left hand that she unveiled few days ago. Knowles’ husband rapper Jay-Z is from Brooklyn.
According to reports the new tattoo is not a permanent one and we all know that the R&B diva is very proud of her Texan roots.
The “Single Ladies” singer launched a new cosmetology school in Brooklyn few months ago. It seems she fell in love with the area.

Share and Enjoy: – Chris Brown the fighter singer who punched Rihanna sings National Anthem prior to Mosley Mayweather Fight is the headline going around on various blogs today.This time around HBO made sure to have all the fighters attend the event even before the Mayweather-Mosley fight. Something else that was done differently this time was having guest star Chris Brown sing the National Anthem before things began. This has left people wondering what on earth HBO could have possibly been thinking. HBO clearly couldn’t have made a worse decision than to choose Chris Brown to sing the National Anthem.
While the National Anthem serves as a song that represents the country and it’s protection by our allies and our men, Americans in the United States are clearly against men who beat up women. HBO openly invited Chris Brown to sing the National Anthem and they endorsed his presence. This was just before the Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather fight began. Judging by the reaction from the audience and fans, this was not the right thing for HBO to do and it’s easy to understand why.
I think featuring Rihanna singing the National Anthem would have been much better. Everyone knows that Chris Brown beat up Rihanna and repeatedly punched her in the face while the two were in a car together. She was left battered and bruised and now we let a man like that sing National Anthems at publicized events?
Going on the defensive, Chris Brown took to his Twitter to defend himself saying, “thx for all the support from my fans

I really love this song, but this video doesn't do it for me. I don't really like the shaky camera work makes it hard to actually see what is going on. We hardly even get some clear shots of Alexandra singing.
I want more of the dance sequence!! It looked so cool.
That eye shadow was way too distracting.
Hopefully it will grow on me.
Heh. Nice video and so the new version. Hope they'll get some success with this stuff.

– Fantasia has a new song called “Bittersweet” that leaked this week. The track is very old-school/Real RnB sounding with the American Idol winner breaking down with a very soulful on how she regrets letting her lover go. Fanny sounds great on the record but it is not going to give her the big comeback she is looking for.
Bittersweet is the first single (very bad idea) of the singer’s untitled CD due out sometimes this year.
In related news VH1 has announced that Miss Barrino will be back on your TV screens in Season 2 of “Fantasia For Real” which will premiere in the Summer/Fall 2010.
– R&B/soul singer Kem has a beautiful new song called “Why Would You Stay?” which surfaced recently.
“Why Would You Stay?” is a soulful track where he talks about being a fool to a girl and later begging for her forgiveness.The song will be featured on the artist’s upcoming CD called “Intimacy” which is the follow-up to his 2005’s “Album II” CD. Kem chat with Billboard about the upcoming CD saying:
“Shows my evolution as a songwriter and a producer.I’m know for making love songs.so we thought we’d explore that word, that idea — not only sensual intimacy but the true meaning of relationships and opening yourself up to somebody and allowing them to do the same with you.So the song ‘Mother’s Love’ is about maternal intimacy between a mother and child. There are spiritual love songs on the album, too. Life is about relationships — good, bad or indifferent. That’s what we will be exploring on this new album.”
Intimacy will feature tracks like “Why Would You Stay?”,”Share My Love”, ”Mother’s Love” along with a major duet with a musical superstar
You can listen to Kem:”Why Would You Stay?”here.

This week’s batch of late night musical moments takes us on a breakneck journey from the sublime to the surreal, as street-savvy punk rock makes its way to Broadway, cult-hero indie-poppers go for the brass ring, grunge-era icons return for better or worse, and singer/songwriters brush shoulders with grand-scale popmeisters. It all flickered across your TV screen at one point or another over the last few days, but now you can catch up on what you missed.
Dr. Dog – Jimmy Kimmel Live (April 28, 2010)
Wait a minute, when did Beck start singing with Dr. Dog? Oh, sorry, just a momentary case of mistaken identity there. In any case, everybody’s favorite indie-rock mutts seem to be ready for the big moment in the sun they’ve spent the last few years building up to. Not only have they ironed all the wrinkles out of their sound, they’ve gotten all spiffed up — check out that tighty whitey t-shirt on the bass player, that alone probably took hours of preparation before it was camera-ready. But seriously, there was a time when seeing Dr. Dog on network TV would have been strictly a pipe dream, so it’s nice to see the Dog getting their props these days.
Hole – Late Show With David Letterman (April 27, 2010)
So this is what we waited 12 years for? Judging from some of the bootleg versions of Nobody’s Daughter that have been circulated around over the last year or two, this kind of rote grunge redux wasn’t even on the original agenda, but nevertheless, here it is. If a new band put out a debut single that sounded this uninspired, it would get remaindered so fast it’d make your head spin. Kudos to the ever-caustic Letterman for inquiring about Courtney’s scruffy-looking, generic decadent-rocker-dude bandmates and commenting “I’d like to see the paperwork on those guys.”
OK Go – Late Show With David Letterman (April 28, 2010)
Making up for the sartorial sins of Courtney Love’s backup guys (yeah, sure, they’re a band) the night before, OK Go is an act that knows how to dress — look at those suits! They even go so far as to dress up the stage with a batch of background singers. Of course, the extra vocalists also contribute to the larger-than-life sound they deliver here, which builds up nicely over the course of the song till it reaches a big, booming climax. Post-performance, Letterman also seems oddly taken with the drum kit.
Aqualung – Tonight Show with Jay Leno (April 28, 2010)
Stop calling Matt “Aqualung” Hales the indie-pop Elton John! It’s just not fair, for one thing, and for another, we prefer to think of him more as the unplugged Thomas Dolby, what with all his fanciful lyrics and elegantly arcing melodies. Just because he sings softly and pounds a piano, that doesn’t automatically put him on a par with the weak-kneed likes of The Fray, you know. Listen closely here, this guy not only writes actual songs, with memorable lyrics and everything, but he knows how to arrange them and put them across.
Broadway Cast of American Idiot – Late Show With David Letterman (April 29,, 2010)
Is this what hippies back in the Age of Aquarius felt like the first time they saw Hair? It’s hard to know whether to laugh, cry, or check oneself into a mental hospital for some rehab after seeing even a few moments of this surreal cultural phenomenon. That’s not to say that it’s “bad” per se — in fact, the band does a pretty good job of approximating Green Day’s pop-punk roar. But wouldn’t these theater brats be just as happy, if not better off, staffing a revival of West Side Story somewhere? The real mind-boggler of course, is the fact that Green Day themselves had to sign off on this.
