Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos, Covers, Pop,
One day after hitting the VH1 Divas stage, Kelly Clarkson joined in on a cover of another diva’s song.
Although they were forced to read the lyrics off their cell phones, this acoustic version of Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” with backup singers Jill Pickering and Kate Rapier (otherwise known as singing duo JillandKate) is absolutely beautiful.

Nelly Furtado rewrote her album to please her daughter.
The Canadian-born singer recorded her new album Mi Plan at home and paid careful attention to the advice she was given by five-year-old Nevis - her child with husband Demacio Castellon - when comprising the final track listing.
“I had English writer’s block so I decided to make an album in Spanish. I played it to my daughter and she said to me, ‘Mummy there are too many slow songs. You need more fast songs,’” Furtado said. “So mummy went back to the studio and put a couple more fast songs on the album. She’s like a little A and R person and is pretty musical for her age.”
While the Spanish album took the “Maneater” star in a new direction, she is already thinking ahead to her next direction and wants to collaborate with ‘Bulletproof’ hitmaker La Roux.
“I love La Roux and I’m there for a collaboration. It would be fun,” she told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper. “It’s fantastic how popular dance music is right now and I’d love to do something more dancey in the future. It would be something natural for me to do because I started out in trip hop and dance has always been a part of my music.”

VIDEO: Pink Talks About Demanding Funhouse Tour
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Pop,
Pink‘s “most physically and vocally demanding” show of her life kicked off in the United States this week in dramatic fashion.
Although the crowd in Seattle gave her a warm reception, there was one element missing from the singer’s Funhouse tour: her “Sober” trapeze act. (A stand-in took over the high-flying duties during that segment.)
Pink revealed early in the program that she had somehow separated her shoulder. (She also said that her purse and phone were recently stolen.) Despite the pain, the 30-year-old refused to cancel the concert and carried on like a professional.

Madonna Collaborating with Janet Jackson on Tribute
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Pop,
Madonna and Janet Jackson are working on a tribute to Michael Jackson
The two bonded over dinner after Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. At that event, Janet performed “Scream,” a track originally recorded with her sibling, and Madonna made a tearful speech about her regret at “abandoning” the pop icon before his death.
“It was a meeting of two great musical minds. Madonna was so impressed with Janet’s tribute to Michael that they started talking about how great it would be to honor him by doing something together,” a source said. “With that one performance Janet proved she’s back on top of her game. And who better to join forces with than Madonna? There was definitely something very interesting being planned between them.”

Rihanna to Blast Chris Brown on CD
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Rihanna is set to speak about her volatile relationship with Chris Brown for the first time in a track on her upcoming CD.
Ne-Yo, who is working with the 21-year-old singer on the record, said: “Expect an edgier, almost angrier Rihanna on this one. Rihanna says some things on this album that you’ve never heard her say before.”
It is thought Rihanna could be planning to sing about the assault, or about the violence which marred the relationship. Court papers have revealed the pair were involved in at least two other “domestic violence” incidents before the February altercation, during which Brown punched, kicked and choked the pop beauty in his car.

The Veronicas felt they were being “f**ked over” when they tried to make it in the US.
The Australian duo - made up of twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso - thought everyone was against them when they first signed to their US label.
“Suddenly, we were on the other side of the world. Our parents didn’t come over, we didn’t have any friends. All we had was this big record deal, and a lot of people would have lost the plot in that situation. We went through the whole process of people trying to f*** us over, tell us what to wear. And at the start, that was hard,” Lisa said.
The 24-year-old siblings found it difficult to focus on their on their trademark electro-pop songs because record executives wanted them to develop an R&B undertone similar to “Rehab” singer Rihanna.
“We were being influenced by things such as electro-pop, which, at the time in America, was an underground thing - there was no Katy Perry or Lady Gaga at that point. But when we expressed a desire to do that, they were, like, ‘No, no, we want to hook you up with the guy who did Rihanna’s stuff,” Jessica explained. “It wasn’t easy at all. We were told that none of our songs were hits, and they wouldn’t get released in America. A couple of months after it was released as we wanted it, the biggest station in New York picked ‘Untouched’ up. And then it sold 1.5 million downloads. That’s embarrassing for them.”
