Lady Gaga Telephone music video featuring Beyonce
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Music Videos, Dance, Pop,
Lady Gaga has been teasing fans with photos and video clips from the set of the Telephone music video, building anticipation to the eventual release of the almost 10-minute final copy. You can finally get a look at the collaboration between Lady Gaga and Beyonce. The video continues right where the Paparazzi music video left off, it seems. Even odder, at the end, we get a “to be continued.” Any guesses on which track will be used for the follow-up video?

Bret Michaels and Miley Cyrus Have Nothing to Lose in New Duet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Rock,
In “Nothing to Lose,” Bret Michaels partners with possibly (I’d hope) his youngest girl to date to sing about another woman getting undressed.
We already knew that Miley Cyrus would be covering Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” but we had no idea that she would be dueting with Michaels as well.
If this partnership continues, maybe Miley could share some of her pole dancing tips with the ladies of Rock of Love?

Quote of the Day: Jay-Z Didn’t Want We Are the World Remake
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Covers,
“I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: We Are the World, I love it, and I understand the point and think it’s great. But I think ‘We Are the World’ is like [Michael Jackson’s] ‘Thriller’ to me. I don’t ever wanna see it touched. I’m a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that’s going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but ‘We are the World’ is [musically] untouchable like ‘Thriller’ is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it’s gonna be untouchable.”
-Rapper Jay-Z offering his opinion on the remake that recently debuted during the Winter Olympics.

The Ting Tings aren’t desperate for Jay-Z to collaborate with them on their second album, Kunst.
The “That’s Not My Name” hitmakers have been working on the album in Berlin, and say they’re happy developing their new material by themselves, rather than with other sources.
Speculation has been rife Jay-Z would appear on the album since the duo signed to same management company as the rapper, Roc Nation, last year.

Mark Ronson Planning Originals for The Business
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases,
Mark Ronson banned all cover songs on his new album The Business.
The music producer - whose 2007 album Version featured successful covers of songs by Kaiser Chiefs and Coldplay, among others - said this time around he had got artists to collaborate with him on original songs, which had been a fun and “interesting” process.
“There’s no covers, and no horns. It’s written with some of the people that actually wrote the songs I covered on the last album and that I didn’t actually even know at the time,” the 34-year-old told NME.com. “It’s quite interesting to write songs from scratch with those people, like Dave McCabe of The Zutons who wrote ‘Valerie’, and Nick Hodgson, of Kaiser Chiefs.”
Mark also revealed he had collaborated with Santigold, Scissor Sisters, Cathy Dennis, rapper Pill and Mike Snow for his forthcoming album, The Business.
Speaking on when it was likely to be released, he said: “Probably May, June depends how quick I can get it done.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Performances, Rumors,
Susan Boyle - whose debut album I Dreamed a Dream was the fastest-selling debut LP ever released by a woman - is planning to team up with Italian operatic legend Andrea Bocelli for a new TV talent show.
The pair will sing together on ITV1’s Pop Star to Opera Star, where pop musicians will compete against each other by singing classical arias.
“Susan has held Andrea off the top of the US charts for weeks - it’s incredible. But he holds no grudges, he joked that he ‘must sing with this amazing woman,’” a source told The Sun.
When they perform together, the pair are expected to duet on one of Grammy-nominated Andrea’s most famous songs - either “Time To Say Goodbye,” which he famously performed with Sarah Brightman, or “The Prayer,” which he sang with Celine Dion.
