Wiz Khalifa has recently premiered the music video for his song “No Sleep”. The track serves as the official fourth single from the rapper’s major label debut album “Rolling Papers”. Now I just want him to confirm a date for radio release in the US and kick off a TV promo. They should have given this the single treatment months ago when it went to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 when it was released as a digital-only single. But whatever, we have it now. As for the recently premiered video, it sees Wiz waking up and reminiscing the crazy night he had, which was full of partying with his friend and girlfriend Amber Rose.

Cee-Lo Green recently premiered the music video for his latest song “Cry Baby”. If you’ve already seen the video and are wondering where the hip hop singer is, he’s really not there. Cee-Lo even joked about his absence from the video on his Twitter, saying “I had no idea they shot a video for cry baby. I hear it’s cool though.” Jaleel White, who’s best known for his role as Steve Urkel in “Family Matters”, actually takes on the role of Cee-Lo and gets his groove on with a group of ladies in the video. Cee-Lo was right – it is pretty cool.

X Factor-formed boy band One Direction have chosen the track “What Makes You Beautiful” as their official debut single. The song was produced by Savan Kotecha, and written by Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub, who worked with Britney Spears on her hit “Baby One More Time”. I like this song. It’s catchy and has a huge potential to be a hit in the UK. I’m so glad that One Direction decided to go for a pop/rock sound. I think it suits them well and it will be something refreshing in nowadays’ music scene. “What Makes You Beautiful” is set to be released on September 12th.

Pia Toscano recently premiered the music video for her debut single “This Time”. The American Idol album looks absolutely graceful and slightly angelic in the clip for the Ester Dean-written track. I love Pia and I love the song to death but the clip could’ve been something better. Nevertheless, all the beauty shots and pretty landscapes really go well with the song’s vibe. The performance shots in the city I could have done without. It just doesn’t fit with the rest of the video. I can forgive Pia and her camp though. The singer is very busy with the American Idol tour so I actually take my hat off to her for finding some time off to work on the video.

Cobra Starship recently premiered the music video for their song “You Make Me Feel” via MTV. The synth pop band’s very catchy, albeit sounding like a Calvin Harris rip off, single is the lead track from their upcoming album “Night Shades”. The track also features upcoming rapper Sabi. In any case, I like the song. The beat is hot and Sabi’s hook is blazing. As for the video, I think it’s just meh. It’s still that basic club and party concept where lead singer Gabe Saporta has fun in a photo booth while Sabi works it out on the pole.

The top 4 singers on NBC’s The Voice weren’t the only ones who had double duty last night as the coaches hit the stage together to perform Queen and David Bowie’s hit collaboration “Under Pressure”. Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee-Lo Green did a medley of the rock band’s hits earlier this month so I guess they’ve stuck to a theme. If it wasn’t for Adam and Blake though, this performance could have just been cut from the show and I wouldn’t have lost anything. I am really starting to dislike Christina’s need for diva vocal runs and Cee-Lo is just all over the place.
Here are all performances from the last night the Voice show:
The Voice 2011 (Finals) – Opening Number – Blake, Cee Lo, Christina & Adam
The Voice 2011 (Finals) – Vicci & Cee Lo Duet – Love Is A Battlefield
The Voice 2011 (Finals) – Dia & Blake Duet – I Won’t Back Down

The DJ has recently released a new music video for the song “I’m on One”, which features Drake, Rick Ross and Lil’ Wayne. In DJ Khaled’s new music video Drake seems to be the one that does most of the singing, but Rick Ross and Lil’ Wayne do their part also. The music video is mainly comprised of seemingly random footage and a few appearances from the artists behind the song… nothing too extraordinary. The song is a rather strange sounding Electropop/Hip-Hop piece. DJ Khaled’s new music video might manage to turn a few heads, but most likely not too many.

I’m not the biggest Beyonce fan but I have to say that she gave the performance of her life yesterday when the R&B singer closed down the 2011 Glastonbury Festival in England. She pretty much silenced critics who said she wasn’t suitable for the main headliner spot by delivering a high-energy, brilliant and emotional concert. Beyonce also became the first woman in over 20 years to headline the music festival and the first African-American female ever. She delivered an extensive set list that included hits from her back catalogue, a Destiny’s Child medley, some covers and new tracks from her latest album “4”. Check out some of her performances below.

Breaking news!
There is a rumor that Justin Bieber was knocked to the ground by a man in the crowd at New York City Macy’s store where Justin was to promote his new perfume
Justin Bieber was on hand to present the Top 10 list segment on Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show with David Letterman”. The category was “Little Known Facts about Justin Bieber”. Who better to deliver the list than the pop singer himself, right? Here’s the funny list:
10. My new fragrance “Someday” also makes a delicious low-calorie salad dressing.
9. I served 8 months in prison for siphoning gas.
8. The first thing I bought when I hit it big was a four-slice toaster.
7. As hard as I’ve tried, I don’t know how to not be adorable
6. Justin Bieber’s my secret identity, I’m really Green Lantern.
5. I’m not really a big fan of Kevin James.
4. I begged my publicist to get me out of this.
3. Last week I accidentally waited in line for two hours for my own autograph.
2. My mom had to remind me [David Letterman] is not Larry King.
1. It’s a hairpiece.

Selena Gomez is a pretty nice girl with a great personality. But as far as her talents as a singer, the Disney star leaves much to be desired. Selena recently had a mini concert on Good Morning America at Central Park in New York City. She sang her little heart out for thousands of fans. The only word I could think of after her performance was disappointing. I’m not sure if this is how she really performs live since I’ve never paid much attention to her or if she’s still not feeling 100% good after being hospitalized for food poisoning and exhaustion.

The singer has recently released a new music video for his song “Like This, Like That”. Jay Sean’s song is a basic Pop/R&B piece with nothing too amazing in it, reasonably catchy, but not as much as any other of his earlier hits. The music video isn’t too special either since it’s basically just Jay Sean interacting with his female companion in some pretty abstract environments. There is also an intervention by rapper Birdman, but that goes pretty unnoticed as well. Still, the song is not too hard on the ears so it may have some sort of lifespan. The music video however will most likely be very soon forgotten.

Jessie J rocked the stage on Britain’s Got Talent last week where the rising pop singer performed a killer rendition of her song “Mama Knows Best”. The track comes off of her debut album “Who You Are”. I love watching Jessie J perform, even more so this performance. It’s like watching a musical play. I wonder why she didn’t sing her official new single “Nobody’s Perfect” though. The song is still fighting within the Top 20 on the UK charts. Maybe Jessie J just doesn’t want to lose any momentum and is perhaps planning to release “Mama Knows Best” as a single in the near future. What do you think?

The singer has finally managed to release a new music video, this time for her single “Man Down”. The music video begins pretty harshly with the murder of someone, but this basically just sets the mood for the song itself which is actually a reggae/R&B murder ballad. The imagery that follows is reasonably interesting and it is mainly focused on Rihanna… and of course there’s no lack of the very common eye candy. The music video isn’t a bad piece of work, and the song is a pretty steady piece for anyone who likes reggae and the sound of Rihanna’s voice. This one will probably garner itself a reasonable following and for a reasonably long amount of time.
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.
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?

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
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.

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.
I would say it was pretty good night for AI contestants, all of them were equally good, and they had a Lady Gaga for a Mentor
For the first round, James Durbin sang “Don’t Stop Believin’”; Haley Reinhart took on “Earth Song”; Scotty McCreery performed “Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning”; and Lauren Alaina sang “Anyway”. For the second round, Haley took on “I Who Have Nothing”; Scotty sang “Young Blood”; Lauren performed “Trouble”; and James sang “Love Potion No. 9”

British electro pop singer Frankmusik recently premiered the official music video for his track “Do it in the AM”. The Far East Movement-assisted track serves as the lead single from Vincent’s upcoming album of the same name, which is set to come out this summer. The song will also be Frankmusik’s first US single of his career. I like this song, just don’t pay too much attention to the lyrics because it’s really bad. As for the video, it served its purpose well enough with fitting visuals, featuring lots of partying and hanging out with the boys of Far East Movement.

Lady GaGa has released her long-awaited music video for the song “Judas”. This new “Judas” video isn’t really as controversial as some was expecting, there are some biblical references but nothing too extreme. I guess she is not happy with her love life according to this video.

Bruno Mars performed his latest single “The Lazy Song” on American Idol’s results show this past Thursday. The reggae-sounding Smeezingtons production serves as the third single from the R&B/pop singer’s debut album “Doo-Wops & Hooligans”. As usual, Bruno’s vocals were flawless. I was actually half expecting him to come out with dancers in gorilla masks and perform like in the music video for the song. However, I was sorely disappointed with the AI crew though. It was made obvious that the performance wasn’t live when they decided to put a dog in the shot. One second the dog is up and about, the next it’s sound asleep. From technical difficulties to bad camera shots, someone in the technical department really needs to step up their game.

Amber Riley recently took to her webcam to cover Adele’s new single “Someone Like You”. The “Glee” actress also took to her Twitter to express her thoughts on the British singer and her song, saying “I don’t care who sings it, NO ONE can sing an Adele song like ADELE, she is perfect but I’m glad you guys liked my version too….” Amber isn’t the only “Glee” star to cover the likes of Adele though. Last night’s episode of the hit TV show saw Gwyneth Paltrow take on “Turning Tables”. Both of them did stellar jobs on their covers but I agree with Amber, no one can sing an Adele song like Adele.Check the Season 2 Episode 17 of Glee episode titled “Night of Neglect.”

Jessie J recently had a talk with Interview magazine where the 22-year old British singer/songwriter talked about her struggles and making music that means something. On going through her struggles, Jessie J said she doesn’t mind them at all, saying “I’m glad I’ve had to struggle. It’s made me the artist I am now.” As for making music, she shared “I’ve been surrounded by male egos my whole career and sometimes just wanna go, ‘Oh, f— off.’ I’m going to make sure that each song is more than just ‘I’m in the club, shaking my booty.’” Good on you Jessie J!
Jessie J – Nobody’s Perfect – Music Video
The singer has just released a new music video for his song “The Lazy Song”. The song and the video are about as simple as simple can be: it’s a rather commonplace pop/R&B piece with a video of Bruno Mars and five dudes with monkey masks doing a few dance routines in an empty room. The choreography is not really that complex and it’s mainly meant to be funny and simple… like the song and its message. The fact of the matter is that it works, it’s pretty catchy and of course very fun to watch. This is how music videos should be done: all it takes is a good and simple idea. And Bruno Mars really nailed it with this one.
It looks like the masterminds behind American Idol aren’t going to let their newfound excellent audience-streak to go to waste. So it was that on last night’s episode they had the none too orthodox, but very inspired idea of bringing on Iggy Pop as a guest star on the show. The singer performed the song “Real Wild Child”. It’s probably the most surprising and also the most appreciated guest appearance on this season of American Idol and perhaps even on the whole show. This year truly is a year of firsts for American Idol. What’s next, a dancing squirrel band?
