Sugababes already on another album, no tour…

1

no_can_doAccording to Amelle, Sugababes are apparently going right back to the studio to record another album on the week their second single is released. There will be no tour and they will concentrate on making the next album a hit. The album wasn’t really given a chance by the public. Maybe it was the single choices, the blazé videos, the rushed release, the uninviting cover, or the looming Girls Aloud cloud. In any case, I am sure there are pop gems to discover deep in Catfights & Spotlights.

 

From DigitalSpy: “Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has confirmed that the group will be too busy to tour next year.

Video: “Halo” by Beyoncé

3

She is taking this double-A side thing seriously. As if she was the first one to invent that. This is another $5 video for a lackluster song that will be the bane of every adult contemporary lover. It’s not “Irreplaceable,” it’s not even “Me, Myself & I.” The only song I like from the whole Sasha Fierce bonanza is “Radio” and I have a feeling it’s too staccato for actual radio. Although the lyrics are a bit kiss-ass. Watch this rise because of the banji girl demographic.

Must-Watch: Milk (2008)

milkposter08 I have been waiting for this movie for a long time. I am very familiar with Harvey Milk’s life and work. When rumors of this movie surfaced, I was both excited and anxious. I was afraid that in the hollywoodization of this film his life would be misrepresented and the issues not given the right treatment. I have to say that the movie does as much justice as can, considering  the fact that it has to squeeze in a person’s life in approximately two hours.

Sean Penn has always been an actor to reckon with and James Franco is just pure eye-candy. The movie goes back in time to depict the early days of the gay civil rights movement post-Stonewall and pre-HIV/AIDS. In a time that was drenched in ignorance and intolerance towards any sexual minority. San Francisco was center stage for the liberal front, where hippies, gays and other social outcasts gathered to fit in. In the process they managed to elect the first openly gay governmental figure in US history (if you don’t count Abraham Lincoln).

Kid choir does another Tori Amos number…

1

What’s cool about his choir is that they do songs by Tori Amos, not other choir standard like “Stand By You” or whatever teachers are teaching these days. They have done many successfully and did one for Tori that brought her to tears. Anyway, in other Tori new, she has finally signed to Universal Records for her new album, I hope they  handle her better than the previous two record labels.

Video: “Diva” by Beyoncé

Will someone please tell Beyoncé that a diva is definitely not a “female version of a hustler.” Also, what’s up with the car blowing up? Didn’t Mariah do that a couple of weeks ago? I don’t like the song at all, in fact I think its complete balderdash, but, as with every Beyoncé song, the media won’t let you forget it.
