Watch: Ciara 'Gimmie Dat'

2010-10-12T12:49:00.001+01:00

Haven't posted in a while, but thought I would post this video for those that haven't seen it. The video leaked one day early than its premiere and made its rounds on the net last night. The video has received many great reviews and shows Ciara at her best. Peek the video below:

I usually don't give videos the time of day but this video definitely blew me away. I love the dancing, I love Ciara (she looks HOT), and this has instilled confidence in me for her Basic Instinct era.

What did you think?

24/7 Entertainment Interviews 'Auburn'

2010-09-09T15:14:00.001+01:00

24/7 Entertainment got another chance to interview an up and coming artist. This time it was with Auburn.

Auburn is a 21 year old singer/songwriter from the US who is currently signed to Warner Bros and J.R.Rotem's record label Beluga Heights. She has been dubbed the Princess of Beluga Heights as she is the first female to be signed to the record company. She is currently working on her debut album to be released either later this year, or early next year. Her first single is called 'La La La' and the video premiered the other day. Check the video out here.

Anyways check out the Q & A session below and enjoy:

24/7: You recently released your first official single 'La La La' which features Iyaz. What exactly is the song about?

Auburn: The song is just about a clingy guy, lol. You know, wanting to know where you are, what you're doing or who you're with. The "LALALA" is just all you hear after a while.

24/7: What was it like working with Iyaz, and have you collaborated with anyone else?

Auburn: Iyaz is amazing, an amazing writer and an even greater person; So working with him is always good.
I've collaborated with all my label-mates: Sean, Jason, Iyaz & Mann & a few other artists as well.

24/7: Who would your dream collaboration be with?

Auburn: Well if you're being literal about "dream" I'd have to say Aaliyah, really great inspiration. If you weren't being so literal, I'd say Justin Bieber.

24/7: You are currently working on your debut album, have you thought of a title for it? And when are you expecting to release it?

Auburn: I'm not sure yet, the title is just something I feel will come to me. I was thinking of "Call Me Auburn" but thats just a thought. The album if not released later this year will definitely be released early next year.

24/7: I know you have been working with J R Rotem for the album. Have you worked with any other producers? If not, what other producers would you like to work with?

Auburn: J.R and I are really great in the studio. So right now we're trying to keep things very fresh and in the family. Lol.

24/7: What is your favourite track that you have recorded for the album, and what is it about?

Auburn: My favorite track so far would have to be a track called "_____" lol, I don't even wanna give the title away. Lol. But its a dope song.

24/7: Have you got a second single lined up yet, and will you be releasing it before the album?

Auburn: We have a few second singles in mind, a few which will definitely be making the album.

24/7: You released an independent debut album entitled 'Same Giirl' in 2007, how does your new album differ?

Auburn: My sound has changed by a large amount since then. When i made Same Giirl I was 16 so my music alone wasn't as developed. Granted its still me, I love my first album that my cousin Bishop and I made in my bedroom. lol, Only now I'm not in my bedroom, I'm with JR and I'm 21, grown in writing and vocally.

24/7: On your Myspace you have a variety of different tracks, such as 'Perfect Two' and 'Move'. Will the album contain a mixture of these different elements?

Auburn: Yes! Which exactly why the album release date is still uncertain, we want to make sure we don't confuse the listeners when they hear how diverse my writing is.

24/7: What have you learned along the way that is different from back then?

Auburn: I've learned that things and people aren't always what they appear to be. I came in with so many walls up but my circle and my music family are a blessing, I thank God for what he's doing.

24/7: Back in 2007, you opened for Keyshia Cole, did you learn anything from her?

Auburn: I learned to get things done, because one thing I can tell you in Keyshia is no joke, she gets things DONE. Lol, she told me she was proud of me my last show in Atlanta and it meant a lot, so overall I learned to make sure you do what you set out to do from watching her.

24/7: You will be opening for Jason Derülo. How will that differ from other shows u have done and what do you want to gain from the experience?

Auburn: The difference with this show will be the fact that ill have a lot more time on stage, so people can get a better feel for who I am as an artist. I hope to gain the experience and learn my audience and what they want, how they connect with the music or my live performance, I expect to have fun.

24/7: Who inspires you to sing and where do you get the inspiration for your songwriting?

Auburn: I grew up on Gospel. The Winans, Helen Baylor, Johm P. Kee, etc. with the exeption of Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. The older I got the more I ventured out musically, listening to artists like Aaliyah and TLC to Nickleback and Simple plan.
I feel because music is music, there shouldn't be boundaries on what you prefer to hear or which style you write, it's art. There's no facts when it comes to art, only opinion.

24/7: What do you hope people will get from your music?

Auburn: I hope they'll understand I'm only making music for the love of music, I'm not trying to be like or greater than anyone else, I'm only making music. God willing I hope they get a better understanding of who I am in the process, without already having placed any pre-judgement.

24/7: Lastly thanks for the opportunity to ask you a few questions. And is there a message you would like to give to your fans?

Auburn: Thank You! Each an every one of you are a blessing. I thank God every day that I can do something to make you smile, I can't wait for whats to come and I promise we will ALWAYS be music family. Love, Auburn.

I would like to take this chance to say another Thank You to Auburn and her team for allowing me to ask her a few questions. I hope everyone enjoyed and I wish Auburn all the success she deserves.

Download: JoJo - Can't Take That Away From Me (Mixtape)

2010-09-09T14:50:00.000+01:00

JoJo is back with some new music in the form of a FREE mixtape. The mixtape was exclusively revealed on Rap-Up.com and can be downloaded through the links below. I love some JoJo songs but I wouldn't class myself as a fan. The mixtape from what I have heard is actually quite good, so make sure you go check it out - it is free so what have you got to lose?

Single Cover Listen: Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World)

2010-09-09T14:45:00.000+01:00

Rihanna is back with a new single titled 'Only Girl (In The World' and album titled 'Loud' which will be released sometime in November. In case you have been hiding underneath a rock or something, then check out the single cover and listen to the single below:

The track was not what I was expecting, but nevertheless it is quite good. It does take a few listens before it reaches impact, but I think that this era may be good for her. Its definitely a different direction from the dark 'Rated R' era.

Are you digging this song?

Single Cover & Listen: Natasha Bedingfield 'Strip Me'

2010-09-09T14:12:00.001+01:00

Here is what is supposedly the single cover to Natasha Bedingfield's next single entitled 'Strip Me'. It is either the lead single of the album or second single, depending on whether they have classed 'Touch' as a single or buzz single. Either way the cover is plain, and I could throw a better one together than that, but who cares?

The song is AMAZING and another one of Natasha Bedingfield's hits! Check out the song below:

UPDATE: The Saturdays Collaborate With Flo Rida!

2010-09-01T19:54:00.000+01:00

The Saturdays recently went on a trip to LA. It is unclear of exactly what they were doing there. They had some meetings and were apparently filming. It also seems that whilst they were there, they got Flo Rida to collaborate with them on one of their tracks. It is not know which track that Flo Rida will be featured on yet, but it has been specualted to be their next single, Higher. More news will become available once I have it.

What do you think of this news? I actually can't wait to see what this will sound like but I sincerely hope this gets them a #1 hit!

*UPDATE: It has been confirmed that Flo Rida will feature on the single version of 'Higher' which has a unconfirmed release date of September 27th!

Flashback Game #1

2010-09-01T19:39:00.000+01:00

I done this game before but I called it Celeb Rewind. Decided to change the name to Flashback. So I will post a picture of a celeb when they were younger here. And you need to comment who you think it is. Very simple :)

No prize, just a bit of fun! Get guessing!

New Song: Nicki Minaj - Check It Out (Ft. Will.I.Am)

2010-09-01T19:11:00.000+01:00

Nicki Minaj is back with a new song titled 'Check It Out' featuring Will.I.Am. The track is really catchy and Nicki once again delivers. The track samples 'Video Killed The Radio Star' so you know that the track is a banger. Now that the HQ has leaked, I have really got to love the track. Listen below and look in the comments for the link.

Album Review: The Saturdays - Headlines

2010-09-01T19:04:00.003+01:00

Back to normal-ish now and back with another album review. So lets crack on. The Saturday released mini album/EP 'Headlines' which is being referred to as their third album. The album contains 8 tracks and has 3 tracks from their 'Wordshaker' album and includes their new single 'Missing You'.
The album is their highest charting album to date gaining a respectable #3 in the UK album chart, but was the album worthy of that position?

Here is my track-by-track review:

1. Missing You: The opener of the album and their latest single. It achieved a #2 in the charts narrowly avoiding the top spot. The song is really good and is a real grower. It contains some heavy use of autotune but this adds to the amazingness of the track. 9/10

2. Ego: One of the tracks taken from their second album. This was a single and has been branded as 'Up V2'. The track is a real stomper and is another catchy track from the girls. Easily one of the standouts. 10/10

3. Higher: The first of the new tracks and is one of the new tracks that have been performed at their Summer shows. The track boasts more autotune and another great catchy tune. This song has been branded 'Up V3' and will be the second single from this album. Definitely deserves to be a smash hit. 10/10

4. Forever Is Over: The second track taken from the 'Wordshaker' album. I'm not sure that this track should have been included as I think this is the weakest track on the album. This doesn't mean that its not worth a listen but it is probably a skippable track. 7/10

5. Died In Your Eyes: The ballad of the album and a ddecent track. It is a cover of Kristinia Debarge and sounds a bit different to her version. This version is still very good but not very memorable like some of the other tracks. 8/10

6. Karma: Another new track and is another smash. It is a very fun track and has some memorable lyrics such as "I hope you choke on some really hot coffee". Love the track and can't stop listening to it. 10/10

7. Puppet: The last of the new tracks and another catchy one. Easily another standout and you can see why the girls wanted to release these new songs before the release of another full studio album. 10/10

8. One Shot (Starsmith Remix): Supposedly a remix but it doesn't really differ from the original. However, I love the track and it polishes the album off nicely. 8/10

Skip: Forever Is Over
Standouts: Higher, Karma, Puppet, Ego

OVERALL: 9/10

Overall the album is very strong and could stand as contender for best pop album this year in my opinion. Couldn't have asked for better from the girls and it leaves me craving for the next album which will be released next year.

24/7 Recommends...Girlicious - 2 In The Morning

2010-09-01T18:56:00.000+01:00

After a little while and I am back with a new recommended track. This time I have chosen the new Girlicious single titled '2 In The Morning'. This is the third single taken from their second studio album 'Rebuilt' which will be released this fall.
If you haven't heard the song check it out below:

The song is really catchy and is definitely another smash from the Girlicious girls. Not sure if it is better than Maniac but defo better than Over You. I am really anticipating this new album as I have liked all the new material and their first album was really good!

What song/album would you recommend?

Alexandra Burke Acts Like A Diva?

2010-09-01T18:52:00.000+01:00

Alexandra Burke is said to have started acting like a 'diva'. Whilst singing at the 30th birthday party of footballer Jamie Carragher's wife Nicola, she apparently refused to take photographs and even sent her manager on a 20 min walk to find a specific brand of bottled water.

I am not sure if this is true as the story was probably spindled out of nowhere. It definitely wont change my views on her as I will always love her. Seriously though, which celeb hasn't been said to have acted like a diva?! Alex has just been added to a neverending list.

What do you guys think?

Diana Vickers 3rd Single & Album Re-Release!

2010-09-01T11:28:00.000+01:00

Diana Vickers has confirmed via Ustream that her third single will be a new track titled 'My Wicked Heart'. It will be available to download on October 24th and the physical release of the single being the following day.
Speaking about the new single she said:

"The third single is a brand new track which none of you have heard and I'm really excited about this. It's called 'My Wicked Heart'.

I've been working with this really great writer Dee Adams and a really, really great producer called James Earp. I went into the studio and was mooching around and we ended up writing 'Wicked Heart'.

I was so excited about it and just so enthusiastic and I always think - since I started and I recorded the first album - that I've grown so much, my voice has become stronger and I loved doing all my live shows.

I just wrote the track and I thought it was so wicked and I couldn't wait to show you all. So we've got it as the third single and I'm really excited about it."

As this is a new track that was not on her debut album 'Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree', it has been confirmed that she will be re-releasing the album which will feature the news single plus other new tracks on November 1st.

What do you think? I am looking forward to see what new stuff Diana has made as I loved the album so I hope this follows suit!

First, I have some news on the new Rihanna single from her upcoming fifth studio album. The song is now claimed to be called 'Cheers' instead of previous reports of a song titled 'Only Girl'.

Rihanna took to her Twitter page earlier today to report that the new song will be out in less than 10 days! See what she wrote here.

What do you think of this news? Are you excited?

*UPDATE: It has been confirmed that the single will be called 'Only Girl (In The World)' and will be released to radios on September 14th*

Bruno Mars 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans' Album Cover

2010-08-31T20:04:00.001+01:00

Peek the album cover for Bruno Mars first studio album titled 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans'.

The album cover is simple and is what you would expect from Bruno. The album title is a bit weird but I am seriously anticipating this album so I couldn't care less what the album title was as long as the material on the album is excellent.

The album is scheduled for an October 5th release.

Natasha Bedingfield's Next Album To Be Titled 'Strip Me'

2010-07-25T17:49:00.000+01:00

Natasha Bedingfield has been working on her fourth studio album which has now been confirmed to be titled 'Strip Me' and will be released sometime this fall. I am guessing that she will only be releasing in America again then. Either way I will still get to hear the album, regardless of where it is released. Here is the message she posted on her official Twitter:

"Drum roll please... I have decided my album name!!! Its called Strip Me. And Its coming out this fall :)"

I also came across this really short snippet of a track called Strip Me by Natasha Bedingfield which also sounds promising:

I am really excited about this new album and actually hope that she does bring it out this fall because I need some new Natasha in my life. I loved all of her previous material and all of her new material, Touch, Speechless and Shoot For The Stars, so I have high hopes for more new material.

Listen: The Saturdays - Headlines (Clips)

2010-07-25T12:48:00.001+01:00

The Saturdays are due to release their third album Headlines consisting of 8 tracks on the 16th August. The album will consist of their new single Missing You, plus 3 tracks Ego, Forever Is Over and One Shot (althought it will be a remix on this album) from their previous album Wordshaker. The rest of the tracks are new tracks that have not been heard from the band before. Check out the clips to the new tracks below:

Order of new clips:

1. Higher

2. Died In Your Eyes

3. Karma

4. Puppet

5. One Shot (Starsmith Mix)

The new tracks sound amazing and Higher sounds really good in studio version aswell. They have been performing Higher in most of the Summer shows they have been doing. Died In Your Eyes is a cover of Kristinia DeBarge's version. I really can't wait to get this album now

What do you think?

Listen: Katy Perry - Teenage Dreams (Single)

2010-07-25T12:34:00.000+01:00

Here is Katy Perry's second single called 'Teenage Dreams'. This is the title track of her upcoming sophomore album and is a completely different track from her first single. That doesn't necessarily mean that the track is not as good though. So California Gurls was a huge success and was such a catchy tune. But what is this like?
This track may not be as catchy and I must admit that I was underwhelmed after first listen. But after hearing it a few times, I must say that it is quite a stomper. It is already racking up masses of airplay on the radio, so I can smell another hit coming on...Check it out below:

What do you think?

Step Up 3D: Behind The Moves Part 1

2010-07-25T12:33:00.000+01:00

Step Up 3D is due for a release in cinemas on August 6th. Vevo has got exclusive videos from the cast and creators of the movie to give a short video entitled Behind The Moves. It shows behind-the-scenes footage from the film and is a really good watch for all fans that ware awaiting the release of the film. There are currently 3 parts of this little behind-the-scenes videos. I think there will be more to come, so if they become available I will post them. Check the first out below:

The Saturdays Perform 'Missing You' On Suck My Pop

2010-07-25T12:17:00.000+01:00

Here is the first televised performance of Missing You featuring all 5 members of The Saturdays. They have performed this song on T4 on the beach but only with 4 members due to Mollie being ill. This song is the first single from The Saturdays's mini album 'Headlines'. The song is really good and I hope it does well for the girls. The performance is actually really good aswell and it seems that they are singing live. The performance was for a new show on Viva called 'Suck My Pop!'. The performance is half music video/performance on stage. It is not their official music video but was made for the show. Hope you like and Enjoy!

Natasha Bedingfield Performs Touch (2010 Do Something Awards)

2010-07-25T11:45:00.000+01:00

I think I posted Natasha singing this song before, but here is a performance of her new (promo?) single titled 'Touch'. So if you missed the last performance, here is a more recent performance. The track is really good and I am eagerly awaiting more material from Natasha. This performance was on the 2010 Do Something Awards. The performance was quite good and I just love Natasha live. Check it out below:

Katy Perry will be releasing her sophomore album entitled 'Teenage Dreams' next month. Specifically the release date has been set for August 24th. This week, her album cover was revealed. There are two different versions to the album cover. One that features text, and the other that is just a picture with no text. Here are the covers and tracklisting:

I personally prefer the cover with text on because thats just how I am. The cover looks really good imo aswell. The tracklisting also looks quite decent so I can't wait to see how this album sounds, especially after the amazing California Gurls lead single.

Watch: Olly Murs - Please Don't Let Me Go Video

2010-07-24T21:57:00.000+01:00

X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs, has just premiered the video to his first single 'Please Don't Let Me Go'. I will admit that I was not a fan of Olly Murs on the show and didn't want him to win, but looking back on it, I kind of think he should have. Either way, he got a record contract and here we are. So what is the track and video like?

To me he sounds very Will Young-ish (not necessarily a bad thing), but the track is a proper corker. It is really catchy and a cool summer song that I hope does really well. The video is quite good aswell and lets put it this way, the video was released on YouTube yesterday and has racked up 70,000 views, whereas X-Tina's new video has only had 7,000 views and was released a good few days ago. X-Tina has definitely lost it!!

Anyways check out the vid below:

Usher 'Versus' Tracklisting + Cover

2010-07-24T21:49:00.001+01:00

Finally some recent news. Usher recently revealed that he will be releasing an EP called 'Versus'. The EP will consist of 9 tracks (more like an album than an EP if you ask me) and is expected to be released on August 24th. Peek the cover and tracklisting below:

1. Love ‘Em All

2. DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love (Ft. Pitbull)

3. Hot Toddy (Ft. Jay-Z & Ciara)

4. Lay You Down

5. Lingerie

6. There Goes My Baby

7. Get In My Car (Ft. Bun B)

8. Somebody To Love (Remix) (Ft. Justin Bieber)

9. Stranger

Listen: DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love (Ft. Pitbull)

To be honest, I am over Usher, he ain't nothing like he used to be. The quality of the tracks seem to be thrown together and don't mean anymore now. Its just the name tag that gets him the #1's. The cover looks absolute crap aswell.

Watch: Christina Aguilera's 'You Lost Me' Video

2010-07-24T21:28:00.000+01:00

After much anticipation, Christina Aguilera recently premiered her 'You Lost Me' video. I am in love with the song so I am glad that it was made a single. I think the single choice was to go for a ballad as the record company think this will save her 'Bionic' era. I'm not sure that this will save the era tbh, but you can't deny that it is a good song. The video is a bore fest and probably won't rack up much interest, but on the plus side, X-Tina does look good. Check it out below and let me know your thoughts:

Watch: Flo Rida - Club Can't Handle Me Video Premiere

2010-07-24T20:39:00.000+01:00

Another video from the Step Up 3D soundtrack. This is Flo Rida's 'Club Can't Handle Me' video which also features many clips from Step Up 3D. The video is decent and doesn't contain as much clips as I thought it would, it is decent enough to watch however. The song is really cool and has got me back into Flo Rida again, but what do you think. Peek the video below:

Upcoming ITV2 Show Based On The Saturdays!

2010-07-24T18:24:00.000+01:00

My favourites, The Saturdays have just been confirmed to have their own ITV2 show. Apparently it will be a series and not a one off show. It will follow the five Saturdays, Una Healy, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Wiseman and Vanessa White as they tour around the country promoting their music and new album.
ITV2 has also confirmed saying that the documentary series will follow the Saturdays...

"In their dressing rooms, at home and on the red carpets. And in each episode the girls will burst into song to perform their latest hits."

I am really looking forward to this show and I hope it will open the public up to see The Saturdays for who they are and how fun they can be. I think it will also hopefully gain more fans as it will show multiple sides of the group.

Watch: Nicki Minaj 'Your Love' Video

2010-07-24T17:58:00.000+01:00

Wasn't a fan of Nicki Minaj at first but I have really grown to like her. I actually love this track as well. This is the second single to come from Nicki called 'Your Love'. The video is pretty decent and completely not what I expected. The video is normal and Nicki looks good in it. I am glad it ain't some freakshow video that tries too hard. ~~Yes, Lady Gaga I am looking at you.~~
Well check out the video and let me know what you think:

Listen: Girlicious - Drank (Featuring Spose)

2010-07-24T17:41:00.000+01:00

Before I had another break from the blog I posted the new single by Girlicious called Drank. That was the version without the rapper Spose on it. This version has now been released and is slightly better. I love both versions but this one has a bit of a lead on the other one. Check it out below and let me know what you think:

Watch: Roscoe Dash - My Own Step Video

2010-07-24T17:26:00.000+01:00

After a long wait for the full song to be revealed. The song was released to iTunes and then a video premiered on Vevo shortly after. This video is for Roscoe Dash's 'My Own Step' featuring T-Pain and Fabo. It will be included on the Step Up 3D soundtrack and is one of the singles off of the soundtrack. The video is quite good and as usual with soundtrack videos, it has clips from the movie. I absolutely love this song and have fell in love with it. I can't wait to watch Step Up 3D now as the dancing looks wicked. Check out the vid below:

Watch: Monica - Love All Over Me Video (Part 2)

2010-07-24T17:05:00.000+01:00

So after scrapping 'Here I Am' as the second single and replacing it with the wonderful ballad 'Love All Over Me', the video has now arose. I absolutely love this song and her vocals in this are amazing. The video is quite decent, and was first revealed last week (I think). The version last week allowed viewers to vote on who Monica ends up marrying at the end of the video. I never posted the video before, but you can actually see the final version now to see who she actually married:

What did you think of the outcome?

Watch: Taio Cruz - Dynamite Video

2010-07-24T16:34:00.000+01:00

All Taio Cruz fans, here is his new video for his track 'Dynamite'. The video is OK as is the song. The song sounds like something else I just can't put my finger on. Anyways, decent enough so check it out:

Listen: Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are

2010-07-24T13:20:00.000+01:00

Back in May, Bruno released his first EP titled 'It's Better If You Don't Understand'. I absolutely loved the EP and was eager for news on an album from him. It was later revealed that he would be releasing a debut album soon, and then his first single from the album appeared.

The track is called 'Just The Way You Are' and is now available to buy on iTunes. Listen to the track below and let me know your thoughts:

His voice is great on the track just like on his EP, however, I find the song very generic and not up to the quality of his other tracks from his EP. This don't mean that I completely dislike the song, but I thought it would be better.

Rihanna Back Recording + New Single For Late Summer

2010-07-24T13:13:00.000+01:00

So Rihanna is back in the recording studio and is currently recording her next album. Other news has also said that her first single from the new album will be released towards the end of the Summer. This obviously means that there will be no more singles from her Rated R album.

I am intrigued to hear what her new material will sound like because I got bored of her Rated R era too quickly for my liking so lets hope she comes bigger and better with this next one.

Taylor Swift New Album Due October 25th

2010-07-24T13:08:00.000+01:00

Not a massive fan of Taylor Swift. She doesn't really do anything for me, however, I know that some people may be interested or even pleased to know that her new album will be titled 'Speak Now' and is apparently due for an October the 25th release.
The album will consist of 14 tracks, with the first single called 'Mine' due out on August 16th.
On the album title, Taylor Swift, explained the name choice by saying:

“Track by track, each song is a different confession to a different person.”

I can't say that I am looking forward to this, but I will see what the first single sounds like before completely writing her off.

Watch: Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk Video Premiere

2010-07-24T13:02:00.000+01:00

So whilst I haven't been posting there have been many videos that have appeared. The first on the list that has finally premiered is Wynter Gordon's 'Dirty Talk' video. The song was released back in March and it has taken this long to produce a video for the track. Check the video out below:

I must say that i really like the track but the video just does nothing for me. Considering it took ages until a video was made you would have thought that more had gone into it. It didn't really do anything for me and I had a completely different vision for it. The song is still great tho.

Amerie Changes Her Name

2010-07-24T12:50:00.000+01:00

So I am back and posting and I have a ton of updates to do. To start off I thought I would go lightly with the news of Amerie's name change and my thoughts. This is fairly old news but I want to catch up and throw my two cents in.

So, just in case you haven't heard yet, Amerie has now changed her name to...

'Ameriie'

On the reason for changing her name to add an extra 'i' she said the following to Rap-Up:

“I operate on vibes and intuition, and I believe everything is energy; the vibration of the double I is right for me. Slightly different spelling, completely same pronunciation!”

So, the extra 'i' is all to do with positivity, etc for her new upcoming album 'Cymatika Vol 1'. I really think its the most stupid thing I have heard. I know that I will completely dismiss the fact she added an extra 'i' because otherwise it just confuses matters.

What are your thoughts on this?

EXCLUSIVE: The Saturdays 'Headlines' Album Cover + Tracklisting

2010-07-14T11:56:00.001+01:00

I have labelled this as an exclusive because I have yet to see this posted anywhere else. The Saturdays have finally revealed the full details of their mini album 'Headlines' via their official Facebook page.

The mini album will be released on August 16th, one week after the release of single 'Missing You'.

The album cover and the tracklisting have both been confirmed and can be found below:

1. Missing You

2. Ego

3. Higher

4. Forever Is Over

5. Died In Your Eyes

6. Karma

7. Puppet

8. One Shot (Starsmith Mix)

The tracklisting shows and confirms that the album will have 3 old tracks; Ego, Forever Is Over and One Shot and will be joined with 5 new tracks, including their first single 'Missing You'.

The tracklisting is slightly disappointing but it is only supposed to be a mini album, so hopefully this does well and then we will get a full album very soon. Either way, new songs from The Saturdays ain't getting any complaints from me.

The album cover on the other hand looks amazing and I definitely think this is their best cover yet. I am glad the old logo is back and that some colour has been injected back into their image.

Girls Can't Catch Get Dropped And Disband

2010-07-14T11:51:00.000+01:00

Girls Can't Catch made up of members Daizy Agnew, Phoebe Brown and Jess Stickley have been dropped from their record label, Fascination Records, which is also home to the pop group The Saturdays.

Shortly after the confirmation of them being dropped by their record label, it was also confirmed by Daizy Agnew via Twitter that the band have now split up. Here is what was said on the matter:

"Sadly its over for GCC. We have an incredible year! Thank you so much for your support. It was a pleasure to share this experience with Jess and Phoebe. I will pursuing other projects. I don't believe in giving up. Thank you once again for everything,"

"And yes I will be going solo, I've got this far I'm not going to stop now. I wish the girls the best of luck, they are fantastic people."

It seems that all the girls will continue with their own careers, some maybe pursuing solo careers and others doing other stuff.

Girls Can't Catch are known for their single 'Keep Your Head Up' which peaked at #29 on the charts, and also their other single 'Echo' which peaked at #19. They were in the process of recording their first studio album, but unfortunately this will not come to light any more.

I am glad that I actually got some of their songs from the album sampler, so I will have those amazing songs to remind me just how great they were. I am really sad by this news, and quite worried as it seems that no one signed to Fascination Records are safe any more.

What do you think of this news?

Girlicious 'Drank' Official Cover

2010-07-14T11:43:00.000+01:00

Here is the official cover of Girlicious' song 'Drank' taken from the upcoming Jersey Shore Soundtrack. The song is not too bad and strays away from their usual stuff but it is very tongue in cheek and shouldn't be taken seriously. The cover looks amazing in my opinion. Peek it below and let me know what you think:

Alexandra Performs New Single 'Start Without You'

2010-07-14T11:39:00.000+01:00

Alexandra Burke took to the stage at T4 On The Beach to perform her new upcoming single 'Start Without You'. This was the first time she performed the track live as far as I know and it is a brilliant summery tune. I actually really love it and am glad she has gone for this track for the next single. The performance was really good aswell and hopefully will alert people that this is being released as I think she deserves to have as much as JLS who just get #1 for no apparent reason.
Check it out and let me know what you think:

Not a fan of Ellie Goulding but wanted to post this video for those who actually like her. I haven't watched the video or listened to the song so I cannot comment on it. But since I haven't really digged any other material from her, I don't think I am going to start anytime soon. But enjoy and do comment your thoughts!

Ke$ha And Katy Perry Mashup

2010-07-14T11:15:00.001+01:00

It has sparked controversy that ke$ha's 'Tik Tok' and Perry's 'California Gurls' sound similar. Well to make matters worse and to supposedly prove a point, someone has mashed up both songs to show how similar they both are.
To be honest, they do sound very similar when you actually put the songs together, but its up to you to give your opinion on the similarities.

Britney Spears Glee Episode News

2010-07-14T10:28:00.001+01:00

Yes, it has already been confirmed that Britney Spears Glee episode is in the works for next season. I didn't report on this as I have currently been all over the place. However, now I am reporting on the confirmation of a Britney episode, some news has become available.

The creator of Glee, Ryan Murphy, has stated that Brittany (the blonde cheerleader) will actually do Britney Spears. Heather Morris who plays Brittany in the show will apparently be singing two of Britney's songs in the upcoming episode.

Ryan Murphy has also claimed that “Heather’s actually got a terrific voice”.

So we shall see a new side of this character, which I am excited about.

It has not been confirmed which songs will be included in the episode or if any other members of the cast will get a chance to take on Britney songs. But the next season is only a few months away so we don't have long to wait!

Glee returns on September 21st.

Christina Milian & The-Dream Split!

2010-07-14T10:16:00.000+01:00

So I'm not exactly the know-it-all on the relationship between Christina Milian and The-Dream but I'm going to report this as best as I can. So you may or may not have heard by now that Christina and The-Dream have ended their marriage after a very short period.
They got married last September in a quick Las Vegas ceremony and then split up just months after in late 2009. Milian had their first Child named Violet in February which means that they had officially split before the birth. It has now been revealed that they kept the split private in order to protect their child.
Here is the official statement from The-Dream's rep:

“Terius ‘The Dream’ Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful,” his rep told E! News.

“The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter, Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward.”

*Thanks to The Prophet Blog*

What this means now, I don't know. But Christina has been working on her album entitled 'Elope' which has suffered many push backs. Only time will tell.

'Defender' Is Gabriella Cilmi's Third Single

2010-07-13T18:27:00.000+01:00

Gabriella Cilmi has chosen the track 'Defender' for her third single from her second studio album 'Ten'.

The track has been confirmed to be released as a double A-Side single with the track 'Magic Carpet Ride' which was actually the B-Side to her first single 'On A Mission'.
The release of Defender, being a ballad is most likely a move taken by her record company to try and save this era. Her first single did OK with a position of #9 on the charts, whereas her second single 'Hearts Don't Lie' completely flopped with a position of #134 on the UK charts.

The double single will be released on August 22nd in the UK. I actually really like this track but am not sure that it will save her to be honest. If you haven't heard both of these tracks then catch them below:

'Defender'

'Magic Carpet Ride'

Ne-Yo Shoots Two Music Videos Simultaneously

2010-07-13T18:12:00.000+01:00

Ne-Yo is apparently shooting two music videos at the same time for his new album. This means that there will most likely be two singles being released simultaneously. The two songs are 'Beautiful Monster' and 'Champagne Life'. Both songs have both leaked already.

The two singles will be from his upcoming album entitled Libra Scale which is due for a release in September.

When I found this news about two music videos being shot, I also came across a behind the scenes video for the two videos. Check it out below:

I'm not really excited about this era of Ne-Yo to be honest. He's trying to be the same as everyone else and it just ain't working for him for me.

Professor Green Adds A Verse To The Saturdays 'Missing You'

2010-07-11T21:27:00.000+01:00

Newcomer rapper Professor Green has just confirmed via Twitter that he just laid down a verse for the new Saturdays single 'Missing You'. The song has already premiered along with the video minus the rap. So I am wondering if this is just for a remix or for the album version. Who knows?
The version featuring Professor Green has yet to premiere and is supposedly coming very soon. Here is the message that Professor Green posted on his Twitter:

Did my verse for the saturdays... Look out for an alternative version of 'Missing You' ft. Professor Green soooooooon!

I actually like Professor Greens material, so I am eager to see what he has produced for The Saturdays. I actually think it would be a good move to actually release the version with Professor Green as a single as this may spark more interest in The Sats. Of course, I have yet to hear the alternative version, but I still think it could work in their favour.

Watch: Jason Derülo - What If Video

2010-07-11T21:12:00.000+01:00

So I said I would update the site once I had an embeddable version of the video for you all to see. So if you haven't watched the new Jason Derülo video yet, then you best get cracking...

Thoughts? Well I must say that this is his best video yet. It is kinda like a little mini movie which doesn't run for 8 mins long! ~~Yes I'm talking about you Gaga.~~ In fact the video has a kinda of deep meaning to it and keeps you watching all the way through. The video is only about 4 mins, slightly longer than the song. But it is definitely a cool video that lived up to the hype of the trailer that I posted not too long ago.

24/7 Recommends: Lightbulb Thieves - Work It Out

2010-07-10T15:00:00.000+01:00

I recommend this track which is taken from the soundtrack of 'StreetDance 3D'. The song is called 'Work It Out' by Lightbulb Thieves. The track is absolutely wicked and so is the film as well. I have been to see it twice, and will write a review for it soon. For now though, check out the track and let me know what you think of it:

2010-07-10T14:00:00.002+01:00

A new song from Usher called 'DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love' has just been revealed. The track features Pitbull and is supposed to be the first single taken from a new release called 'Versus' which will include 8 new tracks. 'Versus' will be available on August 24th, as well as a deluxe edition of 'Raymond V. Raymond' which will include the 8 new tracks on it as well.

The track is decent and probably a little better than some of the material from 'Raymond V. Raymond', so check it out below:

Listen: Shontelle - Love Shop

2010-07-10T12:00:00.010+01:00

Here is a new track from Shontelle. The track is tagged, but that doesn't take away from your listening pleasure. The track is called 'Love Shop' and is expected to be on her upcoming second album, 'No Gravity'.
The track has a very pop sound to it but it is extremely catchy. I really am awaiting this album, because I think that it will be good. I really liked Impossible, and this is really good too. Check out the track below:

Behind The Scenes: Christina Aguilera's 'You Lost Me' Video

2010-07-09T20:17:00.000+01:00

~~Floptina~~ Christina Aguilera is currently producing her next video for the next single 'You Lost Me' taken from her latest album 'Bionic'. I love the song and the album is decent, but I am sick and tired of it already.
This behind the scenes does not even give me hope that she will even succeed with this next single. I couldn't even watch the whole Behind The Scenes. You can instantly tell that the video is going to be a snooze fest so why bother? *Waits for attack from Floptina stans/fans* Anyways check it out below:

Ciara's 'Basic Instinct' Cover Revealed!

2010-07-09T20:05:00.001+01:00

I know I just posted the new Ciara song but I wanted to post this separately because I think that the album cover deserves a post of its own. So, without further ado, here is the official album cover...

I think the cover looks stunning. So much better than her previous era. I love how she has gone back to her old logo, to show that she is going back to her roots. I think that it is just simple but stunningly beautiful. I really didn't know what to expect with the album cover, but this is better than I expected.

I am a lot more hyped for this album now. Bring on August :)

Listen: Ciara - Gimme That

2010-07-09T19:59:00.001+01:00

We have been lucky with out Ciara leaks lately. We have had two remixes/freestyle tracks from Ciara which are supposedly going to be on her Basic Instinct mixtape. And just yesterday a new track titled 'Gimme That' leaked. It is supposedly going to be the 2nd single, however nothing has been confirmed so don't take that as word. Check out the track below:

This song is what I was waiting for from Ciara. It is a great track that will definitely be fitting for clubs. I still stand by my word that Blauw is the best song to leak though. Just ask my iPod's 1615 plays lol :D

So what do you think?

Listen: Girlicious - Drank

2010-07-09T19:48:00.000+01:00

Check out a new track from Girlicious. The track is called 'Drank' and is to be featured on the Jersey Shore Soundtrack. The song was only recorded as a joke, however Jersey Shore got hold of it and wanted it for their soundtrack. Many of you guys will think that it is crap but check it out below first:

I actually think the song is quite good. It is quite funny especially at the end. And it totally don't need to be taken seriously.

The video for the single has yet to premiere, however he has posted a trailer of the music video up on his official YouTube. Peek the video below:

The video looks like it will follow a particular storyline hence the trailer. The trailer looks really good and I expect something really good for this video, so I hope I am not disappointed. Will post the video when it is up. I expect that to be quite soon, so stay tuned!

UPDATE: The video has just premiered. Here is a link: http://www.myyearbook.com/jasonderulo.

Ciara 'Basic Instinct Mixtape' Coming Soon

2010-07-09T15:52:00.001+01:00

According to Ciara's official site, her Basic Instinct mixtape is coming soon. It's going to have to be real soon if she releases it before the album's release date of August 17th. Usually mixtapes appear before an album, so I am expecting this to drop very soon (If it is actually going to drop that is). Remember Ci-ci's promise of a Fantasy Ride mixtape. Well that never stuck, so what makes everyone think this will happen. Only time will tell. But either way, it best have some good material on it, because right now, I'm not feeling this as much as I thought I would.
That's not to say that I hate 'Ride' but I thought she would be coming a bit better than this. On the contrary though, I absolutely love 'Blauw' so if that is from her recent recording sessions, then please put it on the album Ci :)

Eminem's 'Recovery' Goes Platinum In Just 2 Weeks!

2010-07-09T15:41:00.000+01:00

Eminem's latest album 'Recovery' has been doing massively well. Eminem has a lot to be pleased about because in just "2 WEEKS" he has already achieved "Platinum Certification". That is a massive feat in the market nowadays.
He achieved sales in the region of 740,000 for just the first week. And in the second week achieved sales in the 310,000 mark. This makes for a platinum certification as he has sold over a million copies.
You cannot deny that Eminem has done tremendously well. However, I just am not feeling this album for some reason. This is not to say that everyone else is feeling the same as me, as many people went out to buy it. But I still think he deserves it.

What do you think? Did you like the album? Do you think he deserves it?

Listen: Natasha Bedingfield's 'Touch' & 'Speechless'

2010-07-09T15:28:00.001+01:00

I was not aware that I didn't post about Natasha Bedingfield's new tracks. Touch was the first song that was released on iTunes randomly to give fans a taster of what to expect from Bedingfield's upcoming album. Speechless was then leaked, and I am unsure whether this is taken from new or old recording sessions. Either way, both of these tracks bring something different and make me love Natasha Bedingfield all over again. Check out Touch first:

'Touch'

This is a very good dance song which as usual comes with some great Natasha Bedingfield lyrics. I absolutely love this song and think that it will do wonders for Natasha. She is currently filming the video to this track, so I can't wait to see how that pans out. 4.5/5

'Speechless'

The usual type of Ballad from Natasha. However it boasts more than that. The lyrics are beautiful and her voice is wonderful in this song. My excitement for a new Natasha Bedingfield is soo high now. 5/5

Thanks to Rap-Up TV we get a little insight into the second album from Electrik Red. Their debut album, How To Be A Lady: Volume 1 was released last year, and they are coming back this year, with Volume 2. However, they plan to turn the notch down on this one.

I love Electrik Red and am so hyped for this next album. I really hope that it can beat the perfection of their previous album. Time will only tell.

Charice Confirmed For Glee Season 2

2010-07-09T15:10:00.002+01:00

This is fairly old news but I haven't been around to post it, so in case you guys missed this news. It was confirmed by Charice herself that she will be appearing in the 2nd season of Glee.
I'm not sure how I feel about this news because I love Glee and I just think that the show will not better itself by adding more to the cast. I love the cast how they are at the moment so a new addition might kill the show a little for me.
However, I can't really say anything until I actually see Charice in action.

EDIT: This post has achieved a lot of controversy and the original post got took way out of context. When I originally posted this I was not sure how I felt. However, I am now rethinking my thoughts on the matter. I have actually said that I cannot give a proper opinion until the show airs. So for now, we just wait and see. To be honest, this news doesn't need as much controversy as some people made it cause. But thanks for all of your opinions and posts. But please do not spread negativity around, as this is what caused controversy. Thank you.
And to clear up everything. I DO NOT have a problem with Charice and believe her to be very talented and have an amazing voice.

Glee returns for a second season on September 21st (it has now been confirmed).

Behind The Scenes: Trina 'My Bitches' Video

2010-07-09T15:03:00.000+01:00

So it seems that Trina's next single taken from 'Amazin' will be 'My Bitches', and not 'White Girls' as previously thought. I can't see this not being the next single if a video is being made for it. I think there are much better tracks that should receive single treatment, but it seems this is the track in favour. Check out this behind the scenes video for the upcoming video and let me know what you think:

Alesha Dixon Sophomore Album News

2010-07-09T14:04:00.000+01:00

To kick off some blogging after so long, I have some news on former Mis-Teeq member Alesha Dixon's second album. The album is to be titled 'Unleashed' and the first single coming from the album will be premiering very soon.
The first single has been confirmed as 'Drummer Boy' and will be released towards the end of August/beginning of September.
She recently posted a video message on her official site, in which she said the following:

"[I'm] really excited about the new record. Time is ticking but we're getting there and we're nearly ready to come with the album.

[We're] just mastering it, mixing it [and] making it as good as it can be for you guys. I'm really excited, I hope you guys are as well.

Look out for the new single 'Drummer Boy' when it drops at the end of August [or] beginning of September. I'll keep you updated! I'm off to LA in a couple of weeks to shoot the video with Ray Kay which is exciting!"

I am really looking forward to this single and album and hope that it is as good as her previous material. What do you guys think of this news?

Xtina & Eminem to Guest Star on Entourage

2010-06-29T17:34:00.006+01:00

While they won't be in the same scene, the two superstars are going to be among a roster of big names appearing in this season's finale, including Minka Kelly, John Cleese, Drew Brees, Ryan Howard, Jordan Farmer and Kevin Love.

All stars will appear as themselves, with Xtina performing during a party and Shady getting into a small conflict with Vince at Em's platinum record party. Should be a good episode!

Drake Sued by Playboy

2010-06-28T16:54:00.007+01:00

According to Hef's company, Drizzy Drake's song "The Best I Ever Had" illegally samples one of their copyrighted songs -- "Fallin in Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank and Dennison/Reynolds. MissTilaOMG.com reports, "Playboy claims that Drake and his crew 'knew or should have reasonably known, that the sound recording was protected by copyright…' and that 'each Defendant continues to infringe upon Plaintiff’s rights in and to the copyrighted sound recording.'

We'll see how this plays out, but if you want to take a listen for yourself and let us know your thoughts, MissTila has both songs up on her blog: MissTilaOMG.com

Check out Fantasia's new video for her new single 'Bittersweet' for her upcoming album 'Back To Me' now scheduled for an August 10th release.

Anyways, check out the video which is decent enough:

Sorry for posting so little, but I thought I would take time to post the new Saturdays video for their new single 'Missing You' which is the first single taken from their upcoming third album entitled 'Headlines'.
I absolutely love the song and think it is definitely a grower. The video is very summery too and adds to the feel of the song. The girls look absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to see them at one of their summer concerts next month! Check the vid out below:
