Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
In this video for “Paranoid,” Rihanna is assaulted in her dreams by visions of wolves and the overuse of Auto-Tune.
But maybe Kanye West is right. Maybe she does “worry ‘bout the wrong things.” I mean - could that corset getup really be comfortable to sleep in?

Chris Brown Working to “Please His Fans”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Videos, R&B / Soul,
The situation with Rihanna may have cost Chris Brown a lot of fans, but that won’t keep the singer from trying to win them over.
Even though a preliminary hearing on his assault case is just weeks away, the singer is currently focusing his energy on a new album. According to songwriter and collaborator Robert Allen, Brown’s time away from the spotlight has been about more than just hiding out. (Because, as he made it quite clear in the video, he “ain’t a monster.”) “You want to go away so your audience can miss you some,” Allen said. “But he’s so happy and ready for this next album to break through and make a big impact. He wants this to be his masterpiece. He’s predicting this will be his biggest album.”

Mike Huckabee Backs Up Kris Allen on Beatles Tune
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos,
Combine a former presidential candidate with the current American Idol winner and what do you get? A kinda strange, yet kinda cool, musical collaboration.
This Sunday on the FOX News Channel, Kris Allen (an Arkansas native) and Mike Huckabee (the former Arkansas governor) will team up for an acoustic version of “Yesterday.” The result is a performance even Adam Lambert supporters should applaud.

Will Adam Lambert Front Queen?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Rumors, Dance, Electronic, Pop, Rock,
Gene Simmons might not see Adam Lambert as a rocker, but his opinion isn’t shared by all. The members of Queen were so impressed with the American Idol finalist, they’ve even expressed interest in working with Lambert again. Maybe even on a permanent basis.
When asked about the frontman rumors, guitarist Brian May denied any job offers were made after last week’s season ender. But that doesn’t mean America hasn’t already seen the new Freddie Mercury. “Amongst all that furor, there wasn’t really a quiet moment to talk. But [drummer Roger Taylor] and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point,” May revealed to Rolling Stone. “It’s not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn’t that easy. But I’d certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there.”

Eminem Kills Competition with Relapse Debut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: The Charts, Country, Hip-Hop & Rap, Rock,
With the debut of Relapse, Eminem has fallen back into old habits.
For the fifth time in his career, Slim Shady has seen his album debut at the top of the charts. Over the past week, the rapper sold 608,000 copies of his new CD. That figure marks the best one-week figure for the entire year. It’s also the largest total since AC/DC‘s release in October 2008. (That was when Black Ice recorded 784,000 purchased units.)
Last week’s chart topper, Green Day, fell to the #2 spot this week with 166,000 units sold. Kenny Chesney (89,000), Method Man and Redman (63,000) and comedian Dane Cook (61,000) rounded out the top five spots on Billboard’s 200.

Duffy next to record Bond theme song?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Rumors, Upcoming Releases, Soundtracks,
Duffy may be the voice behind the next James Bond theme. Work has already started on the follow-up to Quantum of Solace, starring Daniel Craig as the British spy, and one of the film’s producers wants the Welsh Duffy to record the title song.
Producer Michael G. Wilson told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “I would love to get Duffy to sing the next tune. I think she is wonderful. Amy Winehouse would be good too.
“We have started work on the new film, which I can’t say anything about. Daniel Craig is very keen to get going.”
Back to Black singer Amy Winehouse was due to submit a track for Quantum of Solace with producer Mark Ronson, but sessions were stopped as she reportedly “wasn’t ready” to record. Another Way To Die, performed by Jack White of The White Stripes and soul singer Alicia Keys, was later chosen as the theme song.
Duffy, whose song Mercy picked up the PRS Most Performed Work prize at the Ivor Novello Awards - has revealed she is to make her film debut, although admits she isn’t too enthusiastic about it. She reportedly said: “I’m making a movie. It’ll probably be rubbish.” If Duffy does sing the theme for the next James Bond film she will be the third Welsh artist to contribute to the spy series, after Tom Jones and Dame Shirley Bassey.
Lady Gaga says she’d die without fame
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Dance, Pop,
According to Lady Gaga, she would “die” if she wasn’t famous. Lady Gaga, who is well known for her eccentric fashion sense, bizarre make-up choices, and party lifestyle, can’t stand the thought of life away from the public eye, and wouldn’t be able to cope with normal life.
Lady Gaga said: “There are times when it can be a lot to deal with but always when I get up in the morning I try to find that very joyful place that reminds me that I would die if someone took it all away. If someone did that I wouldn’t be a person any more.”
After years of singing in clubs and penning tracks for stars including Britney Spears, the 23-year-old beauty - who topped the UK charts with her debut album The Fame - is grateful of her newfound success. She explained: “I have such an appreciation for where I am in my life because I’ve struggled and because I couldn’t get signed, and because I couldn’t get played on the radio.”
But the eccentric star, who went to the elite Convent of the Sacred Heart School with Paris and Nicky Hilton, relishes the opportunity to be herself. She said: “Right now the only thing that I am concerned with in my life is being an artist. I had to suppress it for so many years in high school because I was made fun of but now I’m completely insulated in my box of insanity and I can do whatever I like.”
Gene Simmons: Lambert Should Do “Ballads and Broadway”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Rock,
Whether they loved it or hated it, everyone seems to have an opinion about American Idol 8‘s finale.
Even though he fully believes Adam Lambert will have a brighter career than Kris Allen, Gene Simmons doesn’t necessarily agree with the contestant’s musical leanings. The KISS bassist - who performed with Adam during the recent finale - told fans that he doesn’t see rock n’ roll in Lambert’s future.
“Respectfully, I don’t think Adam is a rock singer,” Simmons wrote on his website. “He sounds much more convincing singing ballads and Broadway shows. His voice doesn’t seem to have a ‘rock quality.’ But, I’m sure he’s going to do just fine.”
Hmmm, Broadway? Maybe Lambert has more in common with Clay Aiken than the Season 2 contestant would like to admit!

Chris Brown working on country music for next album
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Country, R&B / Soul,
Chris Brown is currently recording a country song. The 20-year-old Brown, who has pleaded not guilty to assaulting on/off girlfriend Rihanna in February, is believed to be working on a new track called ‘Trapped in a Dream’ which may be included on his next album.
Chris’ producer Robert Allen said: “Maybe we’ll see an appearance from country star Carrie Underwood or someone like that. It’s that kind of song. It’s just feeling like you don’t want that dream to go away. Everybody has a dream and you’re in it, but you wake up and you’re like, ‘Oh, my God.’ You feel like you’re still in that dream.”
