Whitney Houston has officially lost it
7Whitney Houston, the legend or legends, has officially lost her voice and her ability to perform on her tour. This is what “I Will Always Love You” sound like now. We get that it might be “hot,” but still there’s no excuse for such a performance. It’s just sad to see and even when we keep goading artists to release albums we have come to the consensus that sometimes a retirement is not so bad.
In defense of Mariah Carey’s “Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel”
“This is for real, for real, for real. Oprah Winfrey-full segment, for real, for real. No fooling. I won’t beat around the bush here: I adore Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, Mariah Carey’s latest, less-than-feted disc. (I’m not sure how many times I’ve listened to it, but it’s probably somewhere close to 50 or 60 plays.)
Songwriting partners Tricky Stewart and The-Dream (who put out an album of his own last year that was totally unfuckwithable), the under-heralded team that produced most of Angel, are geniuses, and deserve at least a couple parades in their honor. And anybody who contests – or has dismissed Angel and is all psyched up about forthcoming, rapper-heavy remix album Angels Advocate – that can fuck right off, or at least get up out my face. You’re probably part of why Carey’s planned Minneapolis concert – it was supposed to go down on this week – got canceled. (Okay, that’s a stretch. But a promoter could not be found for a fucking Mariah Carey concert? Seriously? This world is fucked up.)
The general lack of commercial and critical enthusiasm for Angel was disheartening, as if calculated to offer proof positive that if a songbird of a not-quite-cougar vintage wants to move units, she has no choice but to stock her album with ring-tone-ready club bangers, bow-throwing rappers, and gratuitous sexual innuendo.

GaGamania abound. Lady GaGa has graced yet another big-name magazine. This time it’s sex zine Cosmopolitan. She’s wearing what looks like a sheer bikini and looks stunning as usual. When better quality images surface we will put them up.
Sugababes’ advert for “Sweet 7″
They are swinging it so you would digest the Sugabaes as the legitimate band when all the original band members are no longer there. Honestly, all respect we had for Sugababes from their first pop-woozy album has diminished, and that was a lot. Even with the Supremes one stuck around throughout the whole thing. With Destiny’s Child it was two.
Santigold readies up next album
Santigold (formerly Santogold but changed it to avoid being mistaken for someone irrelevant) is back. She is doing a bunch of gigs here and there and was last spotted (above) in New York City playing live. She’s working and collaborating with other others a lot including Nas and Christina Aguilera. But, now she has some new material to show and we can’t wait for it!
Video for new Shakira single “Gypsy”
The immediate standout track from Shakira’s album She Wolf was “Gypsy.” It’s a cute little Mediterranean folk song with a catchy chorus. A Spanish version of the song called “Gitana” has also been released.

Video Premiere: “Alice” by Avril Lavigne
Canadian annoying pop star Avril Lavigne is back to promote her fourth album and this is the first single off of it. The usual MOR made-for-radio bull.
