Amy Winehouse’s do or die scenario

Ξ May 31st, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Amy Winehouse |

The singer has apparently received some rather disconcerting news regarding her drinking habits and the fact that she really has no choice but to quit or quit on life. Amy Winehouse’s doctors apparently took her for a harsh ride in explaining this, as a source relates: ”It’s the last chance saloon for Amy. Doctors have come down hard on her because of the severity of her situation. It’s a harsh reality but she had to hear it.” Rumors say that Amy Winehouse is aware of the seriousness of her situation this time around… after all, she did check herself into the clinic. Maybe this time around Amy Winehouse will actually manage to stay away from the alcohol and learn her lesson.

 

Miley Cyrus doesn’t approve of Urban Outfiters

Ξ May 30th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Miley Cyrus, Pop |

What’s more, she seems to be encouraging everybody else to not approve of them too. This is what Miley Cyrus recently wrote on her twitter about Urban Outfiters: ” Love that everybody is hating on Urban Outfitters. Not only do they steal from artists but every time you give them money you help finance a campaign against gay equality.” Yes, yes… hate on them for being such meanies. It’s good to see Miley Cyrus getting involved in such noble pursuits, but she might do a tad better of a job with a bit of proper grammar, eh? It certainly wouldn’t hurt.

 

Taylor Swift speaks about her new tour

It seems that whoever is going to see Taylor Swift on her new tour is in for quite the show… as were the ones who attended her recent concert which featured a great number of theatrics that aren’t normally seen in concerts. When asked to describe her new tour, this is what Taylor Swift said: “The tour is exactly how my imagination looks and I’m so excited that we get to have these entire scenes created on stage.” Well it seems that Taylor Swift’s imagination surely is an amazing place. If it hasn’t already, this is bound to get the ticket sales for her next shows up a bit… and with good reason.

 

Lenny Kravitz Working on New Album and Tour

Ξ May 27th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Concert, New Album |

Lenny Kravitz fans have a lot to be happy about. Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the rock singer was going to play the role of Cinna in the “Hunger Games” movie. Now, he has announced that he’ll be releasing his new album “Black and White America” on August 22. He’s also announced that he’s got a tour of Europe in the works. I’m glad to see that things are going well for Lenny. I’m pumped to hear some new music from him and I’m really looking forward to seeing him in “Hunger Games”. Are you ready for a dose of Lenny this year?

 

New Song from Lil Wayne – How to Love

Ξ May 26th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Drake, Lil Wayne, Lyrics |

Lil Wayne has a new song out called “How to Love”. The track is the third official single from the rapper’s ninth studio LP “Tha Carter IV”. It’s not the typical material from Lil Wayne but I actually like it. Drake better watch out because he may have some competition when it comes to this style of music. Lil Wayne shows off a softer side in this new song, mostly singing instead of rapping throughout the guitar-driven production. Once you get used to the idea of Lil Wayne as a singer, you’ll get into the song. It’s been on repeat ever since I heard it.

Lil Wayne – How to Love Lyrics
[Lil Wayne talks]
Cut the music up.
A little louder, yeah.

[Chorus]
You had a lot of crooks try to steal your heart,
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love, mmm.

You had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever,
Now you in the corner trying to put it together.
How to love, how to love, mmm.

For a second you were here, now you over there, It’s hard not to stare,
The way you moving your body like you never had a love.
Never had a love.

[Verse 1]
When you was just a younging your looks were so precious,
But now you’re grown up, so fly it’s like a blessing.
But ya can’t have a man look at you for 5 seconds without you being insecure.
You never credited yourself, so when you got older,
It seems like you came back 10 times over.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you’re sitting here, in this damn corner looking through all your thoughts
And looking over your shoulders saying,

[Chours]
You had a lot of crooks try to steal your heart,
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love, mmm.

You say you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever,
Now you in this corner trying to put it together.
How to love, how to love, mmm.

For a second you were here, now you over there, It’s hard not to stare,
The way you moving your body like you never had a love.
How to love, ohh.

[Verse 2]
And you had a lot of dreams, that transformed to visions.
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions.

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/how-to-love-lyrics-lil-wayne.html ]

But it, wasn’t your fault, wasn’t in your intension’s.
If you don’t wanna hear talking to me, ain’t no one listening.
But, But I admire popping bottles and dipping,
Just as much as you remind your bar tending is tripping, baby.
So don’t be mad, nobody else tripping.

[Pre-Chorus]
You seen a lot of crooks and them crooks still crooks.

[Chorus]
You had a lot of crooks try to steal your heart,
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love, mmm.

You say you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever,
Now you in this corner trying to put it together.
How to love, how to love, ooh.

[Bridge]
See, I just want you to know that you deserve the best.
You’re beautiful, ooh.
You’re beautiful, Yeah.
And I want you to know, you’re far from the usual, far from the usual.

[Chorus]
See you had a lot of crooks try to steal your heart,
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love, mmm.

You say you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever,
Now you in this corner trying to put it together.
How to love, how to love, mmm.

See you had a lot of crooks try to steal your heat,
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love, yeahh.

See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever,
Now you in this corner trying to put it together.
How to love, how to love, mmmm.

 

James Durbin Performs with Judas Priest

Next to take the American Idol stage was James Durbin, dressed in all black with lots of spikes and studs, performing with rock and roll legends Judas Priest on “Breaking the Law”. James was clearly having the time of his life. This whole performance screamed so much of an actual concert for me. There were some serious pyro going on and just an all out amazing performance. James even got a standing ovation from the judges. Why couldn’t he have been part of the top 2? It would have been a more exciting finale night if he was. Do you have something against pure rock stars America?

New Video from Diddy – Looking for Love

Ξ May 26th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Music, Music Video, P. Diddy, Usher |

Diddy-Dirty Money has recently premiered the music video for their millionth single off their “Last Train to Paris” album. The latest, and hopefully the last, single the hip hop band has decided to release is the Usher-assisted and Polow Da Don-produced “Looking for Love”. As for the video, it was actually shot way back in November 2010 and has remained hidden in the vault until now. It’s a sleek visual but I doubt the single will do anything to help the album any. “Coming Home” was the beginning and end of this Diddy album. He should just focus on making new music instead of releasing more singles from “Last Train to Paris”.

American Idol Performance Recap: Round 3

Ξ May 25th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ American Idol, Music Video, Performance |

Round three of American Idol performance night saw the top 2 singers take on the songs that they’ll record if they win. Scotty McCreery got “I Love You This Big”. This was actually a good song, especially for the finale. I guess it pays to have Jimmy Iovine involved. It has a good hook and I think it would do well on the radio. Scotty owned it too. Lauren Alaina got “Like My Mother Does”. This was actually better than what Scotty got. After her performance, I think it was pretty much nailed down that she’s going to win. While she sang it very well, I think it will have little to do with that. Round three for me, as well as for the judges, goes to Lauren.

Kevin Jonas will be starting his own family soon

Ξ May 25th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Family Values, Famous People, Jonas Brothers, family |

So get ready for The Jonas Brothers v2.0…or so Kevin Jonas’ wife might have us believe. The Jonas Brother’s spouse seems to be pretty excited about the idea of her and her husband starting their own family. This is what Danielle Deleasa said on the matter: ”I cannot wait to be a mom and I know he’s pushing to be a dad.” So it looks like Kevin Jonas actually did manage to beat his brothers to it and be the one to expand the Jonas Clan further. Disney Channel is probably looking forward to him becoming a father too. They’ll probably be very excited about sinking their claws into the fresh new talents.

 

All Time Low has a new music video – I Feel Like Dancin’

Ξ May 24th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Music, Music Bands, Video |

The band has recently released a new music video for their song “I Feel Like Dancin’”. The song itself isn’t too amazing, a rather catchy pop/rock tune that seems to work pretty well. The music video however is the really interesting part since All Time Low seem to be trying at a satire on how things go in the music industry these days. It’s not a bad idea, but doesn’t seem too well implemented since they’ve put so much of the elements they’re trying to mock in the music video that it somehow looks like they’re going for reverse psychology. Still, the really fun part is how they make fun of a very well known artist of today towards the end. So all in all, it’s a pretty fun music video to watch at least once.

Swedish House Mafia has recently premiered the music video for their single “Save the World”. The uplifting club-ready tune is their offering for 2011’s summer parties and it features vocals by up and coming Swedish singer John Martin. As for the music video, it was shot in LA and released via VEVO recently. The premise is quite clear, a diner attendant on a late shirt, a gentleman chilling in his car and two ladies walking the streets are the targets of different assailants. And when Swedish House Mafia ask who’s gonna save the world tonight, their answer is dogs. I love the video concept!

The Black Eyed Peas hit the stage at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards which was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this past Sunday. The hip hop band performed a medley of their songs “Just Can’t Get Enough” and “I Gotta Feeling”. Fergie, will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo always put on a good show but I can’t help but feel like they need to come up with some new music already. I’m just already sick of having to hear “I Gotta Feeling”. That’s just me though. Anyways, they had a great performance on the show. It definitely kept the energy up.

The Black Eyed Peas performed their latest single “Don’t Stop the Party” on the French version of X Factor earlier this week. The performance was very entertaining to watch but I think it’s really ridiculous how much their vocals are edited. Besides showing some love to the hip hop band’s French fans and supporting the latest single from their album “The Beginning”, the Black Eyed Peas also visited channel M6’s hit talent show to get the hype going for their upcoming stadium tour in France. They will play on June 22, 24 and 25 at the Stade de France in Paris.

American Idol Elimination Results

We finally found out which two singers will be battling it out on American Idol season 10’s finale next week. After all the commercials, video packages and guest performances, Ryan Seacrest was handed the envelope, the lights were dimmed and someone was sent home. I was hoping for the top 2 to be Scotty McCreery and Haley Reinhart but after the performance night seeing Haley deal with some of the toughest songs and the judges siding more with Lauren Alaina, I was really nervous about the elimination. And apparently, I had reason to be when Ryan revealed that it was Haley that was going home. They may be touted as the most talented bunch but this season had robbed so many great singers that I’m saying this sucks the most.

Lady Gaga’s album may not be dropping for a couple of days still but that’s not stopping full versions of standout tracks from the princess of pop’s highly-anticipated “Born This Way” from coming out. Take the RedOne-produced “Scheiße”. The track was first heard during the Thierry Mugler fashion show. I think it’s pure fire. Lady Gaga’s vocals and the fierce German lyrics make one hot record. The song has been described as “a tune most likely to bring back memories of early-Nineties dance crossover hits by C&C Music Factory, Snap and RuPaul.” I think dance clubs, especially European ones, will go crazy if this comes out as a single.

With American Idol season 10 coming to a close next week, I thought I should start writing on NBC’s own reality TV talent show “The Voice”. The show is already on its 4th episode and just finished the second round of the Battle Rounds. Cee-Lo Green’s team of Nakia and The Austin performed “Closer”, with Nakia moving on. Blake Shelton’s team of Elenowen and Jared Blake competed with “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, with Jared moving on. Adam Levine’s team saw Angela Wolff take on Javier Colon on “Stand by Me”, with Javier moving on. Christina Aguilera’s team had Beverly McClellan and Justin Grennan do “Baba O’Riley” with Beverly winning the round. Did you catch the show? What did you think of their choices?

The top 3 singers on American Idol season 10 each got to perform 3 songs last night – 1 being their choice, another being Jimmy Iovine’s choice and the last being a judge’s choice. For the first round (singer’s choice), Scotty McCreery sang “Amazed”; Lauren Alaina did “Wild One”; and Haley Reinhart performed “What is & What should Never Be”. All 3 judges agreed that round 1 was for Haley. For the second round (Jimmy’s pick), Scotty sang “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not”; Lauren sang “If I Die Young”; and Haley did “Rhiannon”. Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez give this round to Scotty while Steven Tyler votes for Lauren. For the last round, Scotty did “She Believes in Me”; Lauren sang “I Hope You Dance”; and Haley did “You Oughta Know”. Who do you think will be going home tonight?

Taylor Swift likes to get surprised by love

Ξ May 18th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Love and Romance, Taylor Swift |

It looks like the country singer is very partial to surprises, especially when they occur in her love life. This is what Taylor Swift had to say about how much she likes such occurrences: "There are no rules when it comes to love. I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you’re going to fall in love with. You never know who’s going to come into your life – and for me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them." It’s nice to see that Taylor Swift still has such a positive attitude towards surprises in love… especially considering that all of her surprises thus far seem to have been rather unpleasant ones.     

 

Paul McCartney to Release Pop Standards Album

Ξ May 17th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Beatles, New Album, Paul McCartney |

Paul McCartney has just finished recording an album that’s devoted to covers of pop standards from the pre-rock years. The iconic singer worked with an orchestra to record nearly a dozen songs, including some with Diana Krall and her band. Paul explains “It’s my dad’s style of music. I’ve wanted to do that kind of thing forever, since the Beatle days. But then Rod [Stewart] went mad on it. I thought, ‘I have to wait so it doesn’t look like I’m trying to do a Rod.’ They’re just songs I admire, I’m trying to steer away from the obvious ones. It’s get-home-from-work music. You put it on and get a glass of wine.” Paul also plans on going the opposite direction and will begin work on another album with heavier rock, with hopes of working with Dave Grohl. He said “It sounds quite wacky, but it keeps it fresh. I love that – you get a crazy idea and go with it. You never know – I may run into a garage to make this other album. But it won’t be in Dave’s garage.” I can’t wait to hear this.

I’ve been pretty much in this ’70s rock and roll kick and I just want to capture some of the true essence of what rock and roll is, and that’s just irreverence and sexiness and fun and not giving a f—.” In other news, there’s a new song snippet that hit the internet called “31 Seconds Alone”. It’s not confirmed whether the electro-pop tune is an unreleased track from the “Animal/Cannibal” era or something new from Ke$ha.

2011 Wango Tango Performances

Ξ May 16th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Jennifer Lopez, Kesha, Los Angeles, Performance |

KIIS FM’s 2011 Wango Tango edition took place this past Saturday at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. This year’s performers included the likes of Ke$ha, Selena Gomez, Far East Movement, Adam Lambert, Lupe Fiasco and Jennifer Lopez among others. Speaking of JLo, I have to admire her cool and professional manner. Halfway through her performance of “On the Floor” with Pitbull, her mic got turned off. I guess there was some technical problem at the venue. However, the pop star knew how to work past the problem and the audience’s patience. When the power came back on, she strongly demanded to take it from the top. Awesome!

Steven Tyler Single Denied by Aerosmith

Ξ May 13th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Lyrics, Music, News, Steven Tyler, Video |

Steven Tyler recently released his first solo track off of his upcoming album. However, the rock singer admitted that the song, “(It) Feels So Good”, was originally penned for his band Aerosmith. The rest of the crew turned it down though. Steven reveals that he’s had the song written for a few years and when he brought it to his band mates, they just didn’t like it so it got tossed. Steven explained “I wrote the song at the Sunset Marquis hotel in Los Angeles a few years ago. I swear it’s going to be a hit. I can hear it coming out of people’s cars this summer. I’m a fool for melody, man. I’ve got to have melody. I miss it, and there it is.” There’s a reason the rest of Aerosmith decided to toss it but it’s Steven’s solo career so he can take whatever risk he wants to take.

Steven Tyler – (It) Feels So Good – Lyrics
Something cool went down
As I was walking with a friend of mine
And I, I still remember,
How she was smelling like the summer time

And oh, how it changed my mind
Changed everything, about that, come on girl

It feels so good, loving you
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, and I need oxygen,
Little bit of heaven doin’ 24-7 again
Yeah, again and again

Like I was sayin’
My little cupid was real super freak
By the time that I came down
I’ll get locked up in a room for a week

And oh, how she changed my mind
Changed everything about this crazy world

It feels so good, loving you
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, yeah and by the way
Little bit of heaven 24-7 times a day

A long hair
A double dare
And I swear
A Little bit will do you some good
Say where
I’m goin’ there
And I swear
Can’t get enough of you, oh yeah yah

Ma bonsoir
Excuse moi
Ya oh la la
Is gonna doing to me good
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, it feels so good, loving you (loving you)
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, yeah I need oxygen
Little bit of heaven doin’ 24-7 ah

Oh yeah, it feels so good, loving you (loving you)
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, lovin’ you (loving you)
It feels so good, making love to you
Uh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah eah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

 

American Idol Review

Ξ May 13th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ American Idol, Music, Music People, Video |

America was shocked last night when American Idol favorite James Durbin didn’t get a coveted spot in the top 3. Most fans expected Haley Reinhart to be going home, especially with the amount of negative comments that she’s been getting from the judges. I actually thought this season was James’ for the taking. He may not have the best vocals each and every week but he’s the only guy who really went out there to perform and gave the crowd an amazing show. I always felt like he was doing his solo concert every week. Needless to say, I think James will be fine once he hits the real world of music. However, that doesn’t prevent me from saying that he got robbed.

Calvin Harris has a new music video – Bounce

Ξ May 13th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Music, Music People, Video |

The singer has recently released a new music video for his song “Bounce”. To make things a little more interesting Kelis is actually featured in this music video too. The song is mainly an electropop piece with the occasional pop vocals from Kelis. It’s pretty catchy, especially in comparison to most other songs of the genre without being overly annoying. The music video isn’t really too amazing either. It starts out with Calvin Harris breaking-up with his supposed girlfriend and then continues with a collage of all of the fun he has with a few friends of his afterwards. Despite the lack of amazing here, it’s not too bad a listen and the music video might just find its way on a couple of charts too given a little time.

Lady Gaga Performs on Le Grand Journal

Princess of Pop Lady Gaga performed her latest single “Judas” on French TV show “Le Grand Journal” on the night of May 11th (at least where the singer currently is). The “Canal Plus” hit show is being shot this week at a special stage right on the Croisette (boulevard) near the beach in the city of Cannes where the famous film festival happens to be celebrating its opening night on the same day as well. Lady Gaga’s performance was nothing short of epic. The whole landscape and stage just added another layer to it that made it all the more beautiful.

Glee Producer to Launch Own Label

Ξ May 11th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Glee, TV Show |

Adam Anders, the executive music producer for “Glee”, has been successful in co-producing over 100 Billboard Hot 100 hits for the hit TV show. Now, he’s looking to capitalize on his success by making his own record label. Adam is currently working on albums by Zac Poor and Ben Burgess, and his first release will be the self-titled debut album of Disney star Shane Harper. When talking about the direction his record label will take, Adam said “I don’t believe in putting out a single and then if it doesn’t hit, drop the artist. We are here to develop artists — there is no timetable to getting it right.” I agree! I think that’s exactly what the music industry needs, a nurturing environment.

New Video from Pitbull – Give Me Everything

Ξ May 11th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Music, Music Video, Ne-Yo |

Cuban-American rapper Pitbull recently premiered the music video for his new smash hit “Give Me Everything” via VEVO. The track, which features Ne-Yo and up and coming singer Nayer, has peaked thus far at the #13 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100. I think it’s likely to crack the top 10 now with a visual in support of it. Speaking of the visual, the David Rousseau-directed clip captured the song’s essence and showed a non-stop party. If you want more of Pitbull and his music, his new album “Planet Pit” will be hitting stores on June 21st. What do you think?
