Shakira performs “Give It Up To Me” on David Letterman

The performance is just awkward and the song is horrid. She should have done “Did It Again” or “Gypsy.” Even “She Wolf” would have been better. This album has some great songs and completely bad ones. Nothing in the middle.

One of the tracks that was intended for Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel surfaced in it’s tagged entirety. The songs seems like it was done for Precious the movie and now with the added lines we can tell that it is. It’s a cute, uplifting track but it’s not really single material. Yes, this is an old photo, we had to dig in our archives for it. We figured that if she is trying so hard to look like she used to, why not show what she looked like. Oh, those were the days!

Melanie Fiona launches “The Bridge” on 106 & Park

Melanie Fiona has finally made it and what a year it has been. Her voice is monumentally great and wherever she lays it, she lays it good. This is not one of the best songs on The Bridge, but the album’s packed with hits. We are waiting for “Monday Morning,” which, if handled properly, will make her a megastar. Click below for the interview.

Premiere: Video: “Regret” by LeToya featuring Ludacris

1

LeToya’s album wasn’t promoted properly. But, that is not stopping her from releasing singles from Lady Love. The singles have been quite good including “She Ain’t Got No Shit On Me” and ” Not Anymore.” This is the third single, but if the record company had any sense they would release “Drained.”

Joss Stone admits to smoking weed, gets flack for it

Joss Stone recently sat down with Britain’s Star magazine and talked about her relationship with ganja. She basically said she had a spliff or two.  Now anti drug group are all up in her George Foreman. Her’s what she said: “I smoke weed, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more an herb. I don’t regret saying that at all. I think everyone smokes weed and people who say they don’t are lying! Weed has been given this evil stamp, but how is it dangerous? It’s going to make you laugh your a** off? You might go to sleep? I think alcohol is much more harmful.”

We agree with her, but she needn’t vilify the alcohol! Anyway, anyone that is anti-marijuana better chill and sit back. Who in the hell outlaws a plant? It’s a plant! And it’s been around for ages and will not go away. We don’t ever remember ever hearing someone overdosing on the weed. These people should get their facts straight and then enjoy a joint.

Mariah Carey performs on Italian X-Factor

Mariah Carey is doing Europe for a while because her album Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel will be out there now. Contrary to what many critics would say, the voice is very much still there. But, she needs to lay “I Want To Know What Love Is” to rest now and concentrate on something like our favorite “Standing O” or “H.A.T.E.U.”

She been a very busy woman! She all over the place, we don’t know how she managed to do all that in this span of time. At any rate, as usual… hotness!

Priestess NYC brings the fierceness!

 

 

This fledgling young designer by the name of Cody Ross has managed to mix fashion and fun and make it fabulous. His designs are a great fusion of kitsch and street-smart. We would die to get that middle-finger chain! Click here to visit the website.

Video: “Womanizer” by Sliimy

He initially made a name for himself pre-Perez signing with this viral youtube sensation, so it comes as no surprise that they are using it to get his name across. They better retool Paint Your Face if they want to make waves. Some songs on their are up to par others are just a no-no.

Official cover and track listing for James Morrison’s deluxe version of “Songs For You, Truths To Me”

We still don’t understand the purpose of the deluxe album. If it isn’t on the first time around, why don’t you include it in the next release? The record companies should cry foul about the state of the business if they have historically schemed around to get money out of fans who already own three quarters of a product. Anyway, James Morrison is the latest in this marketing ploy. At least he is doing a Michael Jackson cover! Click below for the tracklisting.

Rihanna’s “Russian Roulette” video clip premiere!

1

The song is really not that cute at all for her. She could do so much better and she should have big uptempo number for the first single. it sounds even worse than “Take A Bow.” She looks ferocious in the video, but that doesn’t mean she should be release this lackluster number. Rated R better have some pumpin’ tunes.
