Jennifer Hudson's Tribute To Whitney Houston At Grammys !

Jennifer Hudson looks absolutely gorgeous on stage at the 2012 Grammy Awards held at Staples Center on Sunday (February 12) in Los Angeles.



The 30-year-old singer performed a sweet and simple rendition of the classic song "I Will Always Love You" in a tribute to the late singer Whitney Houston.
It was announced last night shortly after Whitney's death that Jennifer would perform a tribute performance during the Grammys.

Jennifer's performance followed an In Memoriam segment that honored such talents as Amy Winehouse, Clarence Clemons, and Steve Jobs.



Watch the video below and feel free to comment about Jennifer Hudson's performance.

Kelly Clarkson In Her Own Words About Her Super Bowl Performance !

The single voice that kicked off what would turn out to be an amazing game for the New York Giants belonged to "American Idol" contestant Kelly Clarkson.



The singer gave a soulful rendition of the National Anthem, hitting every note and remembering every word despite being "really nervous" prior to her all-star performance.


"Just finished rehearsing the anthem in Indy ... wow, I'm actually really nervous about singing at the Super Bowl ha!" she wrote on her WhoSay account. "Here's hoping I nail it and don't screw it up!"

And Clarkson, 29, had good reason to be nervous.

Last year's “Star-Spangled Banner” singer, Christina Aguilera, was skewered by the media after she flubbed the lyrics.


At one point, Aguilera belted out, "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last reaming," where the lyrics should have been "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming."

Said one Twitter user at the time: "Egypt thanks Christina Aguilera for botching the national anthem and bumping them off the Twitter trending list."

Thankfully, Clarkson's feedback was a lot more positive.

"Guess what ... I've never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl tonight ... wow that was almost not fun I was so nervous!" she wrote on her account after the game. "Fun night overall though!

"Thank you everybody for all of the nice things you're saying about my performance! I really appreciate it. :)"

M.I.A' s New Single Revealed Today! Lyrics And Preview !

M.I.A has released a video for her single "Bad Girls" and it SUCKS!


What a crap! This is pure garbage! Who will dance to this tune?
Well, she relates to Minaj except that she adds an ethnic tune on her songs...It is Muslim Gangsta in my opinion...She gives me the impression that she wants to promote and trend Arabic people... 

This is what Madonna would call "Reductive"... Remember Neneh Cherry in the 90's?? Well, she is the new Neneh! For those who are not familiar with her, go on you tube and watch "Buffalo Stance"!!!You will understand exactly what I mean! She doesn't relate to a vast majority of people. It's obvious that she wants to be heard by the  few... It's funny because even the commercials on you tube right on her video promote vacations to Dumbai...No offense! She is like a Slumdog Millionaire! 

As for the lyrics? What kind of negative bullshit is that?
"Live fast, die young"?? Well, this is a nice way to start a song!
And am I supposed to dance to this??
To celebrate my life before a bullet finds me or maybe my chain hits me so hard that my chest can't handle it??
This is ridiculous! Give me a break! Where is quality?? Maybe her chain hurts her creativity! Quality can't survive!

 For the record M.I.A has collaborated with director Romain Gavras for the video. She hasn't found the title of the album yet and it is set for release this summer.



Watch the lyrics and the video below.

Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well

My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the radio

Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang..
..hands up, hands tied
Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang



Suki Zuki
I'm coming in the Cherokee..
..gasoline
There's steam on the window screen
Take it, take it
World's bouncing like a trampoline
When I get to where I'm going, gonna have you trembling

Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well


My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the radio

Yeah back it, back it
Yeah pull up to the bumper game
Yeah with a signal
Cover me, cause I'm changing lanes

Had a handle on it
My life, I broke it
When I get to where I'm going, gonna have you saying it

Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well

My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the radio

Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang..
..hands up, hands tied
Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang

Lady Gaga Admits Her Def Leppard And Bruce Springsteen Influence !

Lady Gaga's dad Joe Germanotta is a classic rock fan and his love of bands like Def Leppard and artists like Bruce Springsteen rubbed off on his pop music-making daughter.



The Sun reports that Gaga even pointed out the Def Leppard influence in her own songs, saying, “With my music there’s lots of really big Def Leppard-style melodies in the choruses but it’s electronic dance music. I’d call it avant-garde techno rock. It is very hard and very edgy.”


Gaga revealed that while she doesn’t make rock, she is not immune to the inspiration that comes from a life surrounded by rock: “There are a lot of rock influences on the album but not that it is rock music. It is an exploration of electronic music and techno songs but I have created a genre of metal/dance/techno/rock/pop music with a lot of anthemic choruses, because that is actually the music I love.”
Gaga even recruited producer Mutt Lange, who produced the Def Leppard’s bazillion selling ‘Hysteria,’ to twiddle knobs for her epic, rock-influenced single ‘You & I.’

Gaga has also gushed about the New Jersey treasure known as Bruce Springsteen. “My father used to play his records for me all the time when I was a kid,” she has said.

Papa Germanotta has  beyond doubt a very good taste!

Lady Gaga Won't Release Any More Singles From The "Born This Way" Album !

Despite reports of ‘Heavy Metal Lover’ as Lady Gaga’s next single, an executive from her label, Interscope Records, nixed the rumors and then some.




In the ‘Ask Billboard‘ feature, a Gaga fan wrote in suggesting that her track ‘ScheiĂźe’ should be released as a single. However, not only will ‘ScheiĂźe’ not be released as a single, but neither will any of the other remaining tracks. The label executive told Billboard that he is “not aware of any current plans for another single from the album.” Considering that these types of decisions are usually made way in advance, it doesn’t bode well for fans of that song nor of ‘Heavy Metal Lover.’

A French music site initially reported that ‘Heavy Metal Lover’ would be released as Gaga’s sixth single, but it appears those rumors were false — though it is possible that ‘Lover’ will be released as a single overseas. Perhaps time will tell!

ABBA Will Release Never-Heard-Before Song !

ABBA announced that they will release another catchy tune - nearly 30 years after they split up.

The previously unheard demo, called "Twinkling Star to a Passing Angel", was recorded in 1981.

It lay forgotten in a studio backroom for decades after failing to make the final cut of their final studio album, The Visitors.


However, the Swedish pop legends finally unearthed the composition while remastering their archive. 

It will be released as part of a deluxe edition of The Visitors on April 23.
The song will be the band’s first new release since 1994, when they issued a "Thank You For The Music" box set that included fresh tracks.

A statement on the band’s website said: ‘For ABBA fans, the most sensational inclusion in the package will be the previously unreleased track, ‘From A Twinkling Star To A Passing Angel (demos)’.

Nicki Minaj "Stupid Hoe" Lyrics & Review !

What about Nicki Minaj "Stupid Hoe"?

In my opinion, it is a stupid  and annoying song. You can't hear it twice for sure!

While I was watching the video clip, I was thinking "Why so much money spent on that crap? "I think that people with epilepsy can't watch this! The editing as well as the rhythm gets on your nerves!

Nicki Minaj here has even copied Gaga's eyes on the "Bad Romance" video clip as well as Shakira on the video clip "She Wolf"




 

As for the lyrics of the song, they don't make sense.
I think she tries to do what Eminem did through his songs...
Parody reality...It's not working though...



Most of the people didn't like it. Below the video the ratings are disappointing...
Watch the lyrics of the song & video below.
Feel free to comment.

Shakira Sings Metallica

Who could ever imagine that Shakira loves "Nothing else matters" by Metallica?


To me, it's very unusual to hear her covering rock ballads.
I prefer to sing her own songs.

She tried to make a difference by interpreting "Nothing else matters" in her own way. Nothing wrong with that...She attempted to be creative.The result though is totally unacceptable! 
In my opinion, this song can't be delivered like that! It is soooo gypsy!


I bet that Shakira didn't have the intention to ridicule Metallica...Anyway, we have to accept the fact that sometimes artists have their bad moments & made the wrong decisions...

You can watch Shakira's performance in the video below...

Jay-Z Duets With Blue Ivy Carter !



Though the Internet was buzzing with jokes that Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©’s child, already the most popular baby in the world, would come out of the womb rapping and singing, no one expected it would actually happen this fast.


Jay-Z released a song on his website welcoming his baby girl to the world (born on Saturday, Jan. 7) entitled “Glory,” featuring “B.I.C.”—or Blue Ivy Carter herself. You can hear samples of Blue's cries   at the end of the track, making her the youngest kid officially in the rap game.

The lyrics are sweet and straightforward, and Jay sounds mostly in awe at the whole thing : “Most amazing feeling I feel, words can’t describe the feeling for real./ Baby I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you, you. Glory.” Produced by Pharrell, it’s not a grand, bombastic club-banger, but rather a snippet of introspection from the new dad.





Calling her “the most beautiful-est thing in this world,” we get the information that she was conceived in Paris, pushing her “swag” quotient even higher. Jay-Z also reveals the anxiety and fear he had of losing her: “False alarms and false stops, all made better by the sound of your heart/All the pain of the last time, pray so hard it was the last time.” Later in the song he reveals, “last time the miscarriage was so tragic/ we was afraid you’d disappear but nah, baby, you magic.” 

Though there are reports that this is a reveal about a previous miscarriage for Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©, he might actually be referring to an unfortunate loss with an old girlfriend back in 1994. On his song “This Can’t Be Life,” from his fifth album, he references the miscarriage and writes about it in his 2010 book Decoded.


But, “Everybody goes through stuff/ life is a gift, love/ open it up,” Jay tells us. As much as we enjoy the triple-meaning  wordplay on some of his best tracks, it’s refreshing and heartwarming to see the rap giant humbled and joyous by  his creation of life.

Shakira And Miley Cyrus Join Forces In The Name Of Love !

Shakira and Miley Cyrus are reportedly recording a song together which they will reveal on Valentine's Day, February 14, at a gala benefit for children with heart ailments. The song, "Love and Rock", will serve to raise funds for this shared cause, with all proceeds going to charity.
<
Neither Shakira or Cyrus will include the song in their current or upcoming albums, with one of Shakira's representatives telling a Spanish-language Venezuelan newspaper that "This song is being done for charitable purposes, not commercial ones." The song is expected to be made available for download via popular digital music sites.


image
Both stars are known for their support of charitable causes. Shakira perhaps more so due to her very public efforts with her Pies Descalzos organization to help children living in poverty receive an education. In 2011, in recognition for this work and much more, Shakira was honored by The Latin Recording Academy as their "2011 Person of the Year".

This is not Cyrus' first time recording a song for charity. In 2010, following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Cyrus released a cover of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts", with all proceeds to benefit Haiti relief.

What do you think of Shakira collaborating with Miley?

Top 2012's Most Anticipated Albums!!!

2012  is very promising in bringing even more music from several artists such as Adele, Lady Gaga,Drake,Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, plus new albums from Mumford & Sons, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Paramore, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5 and Green Day.
It's a wide variety of major albums from some of rock, pop and hip-hop's biggest stars, who are eventually back from long breaks, hoping to follow up smash debuts or just trying to keep their legend going.




While release dates are always about to change, here are some of the most anticipated releases of 2012.

Pop:
Ironically, the status of new albums from the artists whose next moves everyone is most curious about are the ones most in the air. Rihanna has a tendency to release a new album every 12 or 13 months, which means that she may have another disc in stores at the end of next year once the just-released "Talk That Talk" has run its course.



                                   On the other hand, Lady Gaga has already started talking about her next album  after " Born This Way". Gaga recently announced on  MTV News that she's already begun writing songs and "all the concepts are beginning to flourish and take place." She didn't give a potential release date, only promising, "I'll put it out when it's done."

Katy Perry hasn't revealed anything  about what will come after 2010's smash "Teenage Dream", but it's possible she could start working on new material in 2012 as well.  Justin Bieber is planning to show his more mature side next time around, possibly even incorporating some EDM sounds into the mix.


It's been confirmed that Madonna collaborated with M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj for the single "Gimme All Your Luvin' " from her untitled forthcoming album, which will feature production from "Ray of Light" producer William Orbit.

Other artists who could release fresh material in 2012 are:
No Doubt, Maroon 5, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera, Ke$ha and Nicole Scherzinger.


 
Hip-Hop:
Two legends of rap are cueing up brand new tracks for early 2012, with Nicki Minaj likely to get out of the gate first with her sophomore album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded", due out on Valentine's Day. The disc will include first single "Roman in Moscow," which views the Best New Artist Grammy nominee getting into the character of her alter ego, Roman Zolanski.


 
After the delay of God Forgives, I Don't due to a pair of seizures he suffered in October, Rick Ross is expected to come back strong as well. The Bawse has taken his convalescent time to work on a new track with Jay-Z.

Speaking of Jigga, fans may get a new record from him as well, considering he told MTV News he was cooking up fresh tracks way back when he first played songs from his Kanye West collaborative album, "Watch the Throne". In fact, Jay-Z said "you might get solo albums from both men as well as the second Throne release".


Other artists that should have albums hitting stores in 2012: Nas, Frank Ocean, Slaughterhouse, Wiz Khalifa, the G.O.O.D. Music compilation, T.I., Big Sean, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Big K.R.I.T., Meek Mill and potentially two discs from Lil Wayne, I Am Not a Human Being II and Rebirth II.

Rock:
Some of rock's biggest guns are reloading for 2012, among them Green Day, who debuted some new tracks at a benefit show in August. The title of the follow-up to 2009's 21st Century Breakdown hasn't been announced yet, but some of the early songs slated for possible inclusion are "Nuclear Family," "Carpe Diem" and "Sweet 16."


U2 have reportedly been cooking up a number of potential new albums, logging sessions with Danger Mouse and working with French producer/DJ David Guetta, RedOne and will.i.am on a disc of dance-oriented tunes.

Prog rock revivalists Muse should also have some new material for us, with bassist Chris Wolstenholme promising in a recent interview that the sound on their sixth album will be "radically different" from 2009's The Resistance.


 Linkin Park are about to release some new material, who are prepping the follow-up to 2010's" A Thousand Suns", and Mumford & Sons. It's been two years since the British folk rock revivalists dropped their still strong-selling debut, "Sigh No More", and they began giving fans a taste of some new material in the fall when they unveiled the majestic song "Ghosts."

After a rough year, Paramore have finally put the drama behind them and they're super-psyched to record an album free of tension and inter-band awkwardness. So far, they've already unwrapped the bouncy "Renegade" and "Hello Cold World," which bode well for their fourth full-length studio album.



Other rock acts that are supposed  to release new albums: the reunited Soundgarden, Foster the People, Neon Trees, Sleigh Bells, Silversun Pickups, Bruce Springsteen and All-American Rejects.
