Alexandra Burke shows off new boyfriend

This is a MoMo exclusive; Pop sensation Alexandra Burke sent the British press into a frenzy last night, after being snapped out hand-in-hand with KISS FM DJ and MTV presenter Rickie Haywood- Williams! – Hard to believe that Alexandra Burke would fall for someone within the industry, with many people thinking she’d go for someone that wasn’t in the press lime-light or low-light (I joke, I joke).

With X-Factor winner branching out for a new look despite recent chart failure Alexandra Burke heated it up and gone for a more “sex-appeal” look – which at times if not handled carefully could be damaging for her! Her new single “All Night Long” which features rapper Putbull although slightly improved effort off the album (which received mixed reviews). The new single “All Night Long” is clearly built on Michelle William‘s sample of “We Break A Dawn“; but it’s clear that this is style that Alexandra Burke can work with; which she does really well.

Maybe her new love may inspire her on her next project which is currently under development; Alexandra Burke said “yes we [Sony Music] are working on some new stuff…really excited, it’s going to be a lot different from this one [Overcome Album] we put out…but yeah I’m really excited should be ready end of this year”. Back to Ricky (who presents MTV News – god only knows why and Kiss 100 FM’s DJ and morning host – more like it!) what happened to your “Bad Boy“? If you want bets to see how long this will last, don’t bother who knows what Alexandra Burke is doing! For more pics of the new couple (more…)

Up Out My Face!!!

Okay – so Mariah Carey dropped her huge R&B single titled “Up Out My Face” featuring Nicki Minaj. The song will appear on her remix album for “Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel” titled “Angels Advocate”. Despite the poor  reception of “Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel” MiMi’s tour sold out within a few days of sale. Mariah Carey isn’t taking herself too seriously in this video (which at times is a problem…sweeties y’all gonna be hitting 40 soon!).

So, the video reminds me slightly of “Touch My Body” – but then it’s clear that the days of when Mariah Carey rocked R&B are long gone and she should settle down for her ballads, which will all soon be a lot easier as she is planning to leave the Island Def Jam music group and possibly fly to Warner Bros or even back to her home (after all they have the all the rights and she’s still their biggest selling artist even though she’s no longer there) Sony Columbia! Either way, Mariah needs to go back to her 90′s self, videos like this can only come around once…and I mean once Mariah!
