Whitney Houston finally amazes crowds!
Mar 8th
I was on the floor laughing so hard after watching this – so yes! Whitney Huston finally starts to pick up her poor performances back up to satisfactory. However still the entire production on the tour is way below exceptions! Only taking half a band set with her on tour and terrible backing vocalists it’s clear that she’s still got a lot of work to do!
I’m not going to lie, I was planning to visit Whitney during her tour in the UK, but the chances of that have started to decline fast! One fan tweeted at me that the music wasn’t loud enough (WHAT!? – how can you not play music load!?) – who knows in what direction Whitney is taking this in, but it’s just on visit to Bobby Brown for a “pick me up” – I know, I know that was harsh, but y’all gotta love it! During the last Australian stop on her ‘Nothing But Love’ tour, Whitney Houston pulled out a lucky fan from the audience for an ”duet” (if that’s what you wan’t to call it!) of ‘I Have Nothing’. Check out the hilarity above! For more videos of the tour Read the rest of this entry »
“OMG” Usher!
Mar 8th
With Usher making his new come back to the music industry ( and his ex-wife), he’s is set to release his sixth studio album ‘Raymond vs Raymond’ on March 29th!
While a number of songs have been rolled out thus far – some billed as ‘traditional singles’ and others ‘buzz’ singles, we have received word from the the singer’s label confirming that ‘OMG’ will serve as ‘Raymond vs Raymond’s’ first International release. (yay! thank god it’s not “Papers”, that died out like VHS!). The 30 year old Usher, echoed the news on Twitter a few hours ago, announcing that he is shooting the video with Black Eyed Peas front-man will.i.am – who produced and features on the song.
Of course I’m excited for this entire release, however – with the entire Billboard charts edging into this European Dance music vide, R&B is going to struggle and that means R&B artists will need to drop the hardcore R&B beats for their tracks to become slightly Air Play friendly. With Usher the brand being continuously strong and till this date Usher has never a commercial failure during his music career. Although, after receiving a few samples of the new album i’m confident that the singles lined will chart, however with Ke$sha, Rihanna and Justin Bieber pushing their new music around his release date could see some problems for the new single “OMG” to listen Read the rest of this entry »
Chris Brown gets ready for world tour!
Mar 8th
Rihanna watch out, he’s comming (and probably going to sell out more than you!). So yes energetic performer Chris Brown is ready to hit the road once again to support his ‘Graffiti’ album. This time, however, the singer will be giving his international fans a chance to see him perform music from the LP. Brown will be embarking on the 20-show ‘Fan Appreciation Tour’ which will see him making stops in places such as Brazil, Malaysia, Ireland and the UK. The US leg of the tour, which was held from November to December last year, was almost completely sold out.
It’s clear that “Graffiti” hasn’t done well against it’s main competitor (Rihanna’s) “Rated R” which sold platinum were as Chris Brown’s album only certified Gold. Sorry for playing the same old record over and over again, we all condemn what Chris Brown did to Rihanna (with all respect), however now I don’t think it’s fair how Chris’ fan based dropped dramastically not after the events between Rihanna and Chris Brown, but after Rihanna had given her interview.
It’s clear that this tour will defiantly be successful, there is still a huge UK fan base here, hopefully the dates of Rihanna’s and Chris Brown’s tours don’t clash! As both have planned to tour the UK in later spring early summer (now that would be interesting! – team Brown all the way – although, i’m liking “Rude Boy”!).

“Say Something” Timbaland ft. Drake
Mar 8th
After the poor commercial success of the poorly fuelled “Shock Values II“, Timbaland finally used his brains and his beats and jumped on a record with rising R&B Hip Hop superstar Drake. All in all this song is making it’s way up on my “recently played” list on my iPod, however the video seems a bit too recession friendly – what the hell happened to all of Timbaland’s money!? (did we buy cake with it!? – no seriously i’m slightly worried about his weight!).
I know that was harsh, but with ages of piracy and the music industry at an all time low, there can be multiple reasons for Timbaland’s “flop” although that said Drake on the other hand has worked his way through a catalogue of songs and seems to be increasing the amount of tracks he features on – watch out, this can be a bit dangerous – no one want’s to be a feature for the rest of their life! However it’s nothing a bit of clever marketing won’t tackle. Even though this track was released in 2009, it’s chart performance has only started now (hmm…?), according to sources there were two versions on the song, the first one released has been removed and been replaced with this one…what’s the difference?
Mariah Carey Pregnant?
Mar 8th
Okay, so with diva Mariah Carey celebrating the end of her US tour “Angels Advocate Tour” and the release of her new remix album “Angel Advocate” (yes Mariah is using an “Angel” theme!) seems to have a lot to keep her happy.
Appearing at the Spirit Awards (where she picked up an award for best supporting actress for her latest film “Precious”), it’s safe to say that the days of Mariah’s “Glitter” acting have long gone, however in terms of her 2001 album “Glitter“, I feel that her half-baked remix album “Angels Advocate” will probably match the poor commercial success!
With all that said, It seems clear that Mariah is ready to leave Island Def Jam after her final LP “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel“. But Mariah only fuelled her pregnancy rumours at the Spirit Awards and Oscars by saying “something special” is about to happen and then reconfirming it by saying “There’s also something special on the way. I can’t say anymore.” – Not trying to be rude MiMi! we all kind of knew, hence why she was feeling sick during the tour, she cut songs out, she was always tired and she could fit into those dresses quite right…but we still love her! This could be a chance to build up her “come back”…? – I wonder what she is going to call it!?
