Everyone’s a-buzzing about the Beyonce and Lady Gaga collaboration on “Video Phone” today. But what we are looking forward to is this. One of the best songs of the year gets a video. It’s not that fab but Alicia is looking great. The song carries it well. When you have a big love song like this, it’s hard to come up with a great concept without taking the Chris Isaac route. The special here affects were unnecessary and they look kind of unprofessional, very 2012. We can’t wait until The Element Of Freedom comes out.

It looks like it’s going to be really fabulous. Lady GaGa was featured on a redone version of “Video Phone.” Beyonce returned the favor by showing up on her track “Telephone.” They’re really into gadgets.
Janet Jackson flash-mobbed in Los Angeles
1Janet Jackson is in Los Angeles to rehearse for her 8-minute performance during the American Music Awards. While she was out and about a bunch of dancers surprised her by flash-mobbing some of her greatest hits including “Miss You Much,” “Rhythm Nation” and “If.” She was in the balcony and greeted the fans at the end.

Rihanna’s muchly-awaited Rated R is finally making the blog rounds. The album, which has had a bunch of lackluster singles leaks, is here in its retail entirety. The jury is out on whether this will be better than the single-packed Good Girl Gone Bad or not. Click here for more information.
Preview of Shakira’s “Give It Up To Me” featuring Lil’ Wayne
She’s mixing up the single sequence and she hasn’t given “Did It Again” a time to breathe yet. This is probably one of the weakest singles Shakira has ever released and it is an obvious plea to tap the hip hop market. It’s not working.

Leave Lamees Alone is a response campaign to this incident, which is causing quite a stir in the UAE. The t-shirts, designed by Mohammed Sultan Al-Habtoor for house of glaMO, have been all the rage on the UAE main street. It’s a lighter and more humorous response to what some claim to be an interview that was not representative of Emaratis in general. The t-shirts are a kitschy take on cultural episode and the reply it has generated. Right now, in Dubai, if you don’t have one of these, you are basically a nobody. E-mail now to order these limited edition T-shirts 250 AED (Approx. 20 KD): mhab2r@yahoo.com

Lily Allen to release special edition of album
Lily Allen it trying to bust the downloading dip in sales by releasing an acoustic version of her sophomore album. It also contains an acoustic version of “Womanizer.” It’s Not Me, It’s You was a good album but not good enough to have an acoustic version to it. Click below for the track listing.
Premiere: Video: “I Want To Know What Love Is” by Mariah Carey
1This was not we expected, but there are only so many thing you can do with such an epic drama-ballad. It’s slow an sentimental, so the concert type video would have done. But, this whole baseball stadium business is unnecessary. And the images of random people could have been diversified. We see the two gay boys from Oprah giving each other a look or two to make it kosher for TV. And the slo-mo does wonders, but not the dress. At any rate, the vocals are everything in this song and she brought it.
