We had completely forgotten about this big-haired ballad until Gary Barlow got into a controversy by referring to the singer as being off pitch. Then a huge drama went down between the two lead singers. But, it gave us a chance to revisit this epic tune.

Watch: Amy Winehouse’s “Hidden Treasures” documentary!
2This is a 15-minute documentary of Amy Winehouse’s posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures. We are not too happy about the album, because there are versions of older tracks and some songs that we consider rarities. It’s not really a full-length album, more of a collection of many different bits a pieces that have been reworked or revisited. We know there are more tracks hidden that they are not releasing until the future.

Introducing… Delilah

Delilah can push you back in your seat and demand you attention. A trait rarely found in today’s pop start. Her fusion of soul , pop and a tint of world makes for sturdy melodies as demonstrated on her new track “Love You So.”
She is the industry’s best-kept secret. With no released material – not even a MySpace/Twitter page until now! She presents a new and exciting prospect for her major label. With a catalogue of raw material under her belt – one being the first song she wrote when she was 12, this talented young woman has the industries finest in a stir.
Delilah’s unique look and sound epitomizes the true essence of the multi cultural environment she grew up. She was raised amongst the vibrant sound of London’s live music scene. Her father introduced her to this through his work in promoting British bands and live music, during the 90’s. When he died in 2002, Delilah used her emotional experiences of life and death to start creating her own music.

Sexy Track: “Where Have U Been” by Rihanna
3
When it comes to singles Rihanna is on a roll. So much so that her single sell and chart better than her albums. Her record company knows the real draw and she is not about to miss out on another number one. This here is another big dance number that will most probably be a single off of her new album Talk That Talk. Actually, this will most definitely be a single. It is meant to get you up on the dance floor singing for decades to comes. The beat is infectious and trendy (both in the good and bad senses.) The lyrics are crying for someone to sing along to them with a yearning attitude post-a couple of drinks at a straight club. Watch this be the summer stomper of 2012 from Mykonos to Miami.

1Kelly Rowland has some great songs up here sleeve, but for her to start off with the David Guetta-vomitted “When Love Takes Over” just ruined everything. We much prefer “Down For Whatever,” thank very much.

French pop kid YELLE is back with yet another track from her loud, yet eclectic album Safari Disco Club. This single bring the pink colors like no other and although we’d like to understand fully what she is singing about, it’s not bad at all.
