Kelly Rowland to re-release "Ms. Kelly"

Despite Kelly Rowland's latest album "Ms. Kelly" only being released in June, her record label and management team are already prepping a re-release of the album. This is due to poor sales of the album. So far, the album has sold about 300,000 copies worldwide, which isn't that bad!
The re-issue of the album hasn't got a release date as of yet, but it will feature new songs and perhaps a bonus DVD according to reliable sources.
The above cover is slate to be the official cover of the re-release, however it could just be fan-made.
Will you be buying the Ms. Kelly re-release?

Nicole Scherzinger - Whatever U Like [Live @ Pepsi Smash]


Despite only charting at a dissapointing 104 on the US chart, Nicole Scherzinger is still doing the rounds of US TV and performing "Whatever U Like" at every oppurtunity. It's been confirmed officially that "Baby Love" will serve as the lead single from Nicole's debut "Her Name Is Nicole", but as of yet, there has not been one performance of that song! How odd, but it's still great to see HOT performances like the one above. Enjoy!
Tell me what you think about the performance!

Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love [Video]




Nicole Scherzinger has just this moment premiered the video for her new single "Baby Love", which features will.i.am. The video is fantastic, and althought I thought nothing could top "Whatever U Like", I think "Baby Love" is just as good as Nicole's first single. I think this can be big!

Keyshia Cole - Just Like You [Music Review]

I have decided to review Keyshia Cole's new album "Just Like You". It's being released this month and is the follow up to 2005's "The Way It Is". The first single is "Let It Go", a US R&B #1, which features Missy Elliot and Lil' Kim.

1. Let It Go [Featuring Missy Elliot & Lil' Kim]
The first single, every Keyshia fan knows this one. It's a great 90's slowjam and Missy and Kim's raps are great. It's really catchy and the video is good too.

2. Didn't I Tell You [Featuring Too $hort]
Wow! Didn't see this one coming. It kind of sounds like a song that Ciara or Kelis would record, but Keyshia sounds great on this. It's really fresh, really upbeat and would sound great in the clubs. Possible new single maybe?

3. Fallin' Out
Wow this has a really cool old school vibe going on. It can be a tad repetitive but Keyshia's vocals are on point and I've read on other sites that this is a contender for a single!

4. Give Me More
One of the standout tracks for me. The track has such a good beat and its really catchy! I reccomend this song highly.

5. I Remember
This one sounds like a Mary J. Blige song to me. It's nice enough, but nothing special. But once again, Keyshia's vocals are outstanding. Also, it sounds similar to Keyshia's hit single "Love".

6. Shoulda Let You Go [Featuring Amina]
DarkChild produced this one, and it shows. This is the second single and it sounds like Mary J's "Enough Cryin'", which DarkChild also produced. Very good song, a highlight.

7. Heaven Sent
This is my favourite!!!!!!!! It's so sweet, it won't be everyone's cup of tea but I love it. The lyrics are beautiful.

8. Same Thing [Interlude]
Keyshia singing/talking over a nice beat. Not bad, but not essential to the album!

9. Got To Get My Heart Back
Hmmm not a bad track, but not as good as the first 7 songs on the album. It doesnt' really go anywhere for me.

10. Was It Worth It?
Another standout track. Really deep song and B. Cox did a good job on the production of this.

11. Just Like You
Kind of reminds me of a Mariah Carey type of song, it's a good title track - but like "Got To Get My Heart Back", it's nothing special. Bit annoying.

12. Losing You [Featuring Anthony Hamilton]
Very old school! Anthony Hamilton fans will love this, but I'm not so convinced. It can be a little boring listening to it, but it's not awful.

13. Last Night [Featuring Diddy]
We all know this one! A great song, and a different edit to Diddy's version. It was a massive hit for Keyshia and its good that she included this on the album.

14. Work It Out
Probably the weakest track, but it's a good album closer. Nothing special to say about this song at all.

Have You Heard The Album?
Tell me what you think of it.

Alanis Morrissette - Underneath [Video]


Canadian Superstar Alanis Morissette is back with a new album and a new single called "Underneath". The video premiered today and even thought it's really low quality, it seems to be a good video. Alanis sounds better than other and the track sounds really up-to-date, but still manages to keep that Alanis magic which made her famous in the first place.

Ashanti has been quiet on the music front over the past few years after starring in a couple of successful films such as "John Tucker Must Die" and the forthcoming "Resident Evil" movie. But now Ashanti is back with the first single of her upcoming album - "Hey Babe (After The Club)" . The new album "The Declaration" is due out on December 4th.

50 Cent defends Britney Spears

Rapper 50 Cent has defended singer Britney Spears and her performance at this years VMA's. He might have had a little dig at Kanye West in the process but everything he said was true. 50 Cent said the following...

"Kanye expressed that he felt that Britney shouldn't be actually opening the show - almost like he forgot that Britney Spears sold 50 million records," 50 told Ryan Seacrest. "She did. He is not thinking about her full body of work. She deserved to headline the show better than anybody else that was on it - even in the state that she is in."

50 Cent spoke the truth with this one. Britney has achieved so much in the space of about 5 years and Kanye can only dream of having her success. Maybe a Britney and 50 colloboration is on the cards? Haha maybe not...

Britney Spears "Gimme More" VMA Performance

Well, she did it! It might have been perfect but Britney Spears performed at the last nights VMA awards and it was a good performance overall. The show as a whole was underwhelming and Britney's dancing and choreography was by far the best, in my opinion. Alicia Keys and Rihanna also gave stellar performances.Apparently though, the performance didn't go to plan at all. On-lookers commented that Britney looked upset during her performance and at the end of it, she looked relieved. According to reliable sources, Sarah Silverman, some American D-Lister, said that Britney's kids were "mistakes" and other nasty comments. Britney was said to be distressed.

Additionally, its been revealed that she threatened NOT to peform because MTV wouldn't give her creative control of the performance. She wanted a magic show theme and she had worked with magician Criss Angel - they planned that Britney would dissapear and then re-appear and there would be illusions with mirrors! That would have been brilliant.



So no wonder Britney was a bit upset during her performance :(

MTV said the following...
MTV.com: No snakes. No same-sex kisses. No magic tricks. No skimpy outfits. OK, plenty of skimpy outfits. After all, it's Britney, bitch, right? With one of the most anticipated openings in VMA history, Britney Spears, got the party started Sunday night (September 9) with a James Bond-meets-underground S&M club slither through her new single, "Gimme More."

Opening with a close-up of the back of her head, Spears stared into the camera with the opening lines to "Trouble," made famous by the ultimate Las Vegas legend, Elvis: "If you're lookin' for trouble, you came to the right place/ If you're lookin' for trouble, look right in my face."

The camera panned out to reveal Spears decked out in acres of bling, including a black, jewel-encrusted bra and hot pants, black boots and nothing else. Sashaying in and out of dancers

With images of chandeliers floating on the screen behind her mixed with silhouettes of women befitting the intro reel to a James Bond flick, Spears walked across the stage as her scantily clad dancers worked a series of stripper poles scattered throughout the room.

At least one VIP, 50 Cent, appeared to be enjoying the multimedia experience. And then, after all that hype, a relieved-looking Brit gave a shy smile, whispered "thank you" and exited. in skin-tight leather, Spears sang the refrain "Gimme, gimme more" as she literally stepped over the back of a male dancer and got intimate with another.

Amy Winehouse - Love Is A Losing Game [Live]

Amy Winehouse has been having a difficult past month with accusations of drug abuse but she still managed to perform at the Mercury Album Of The Year Award Show. Her #1 album might not have won the prestigious album of the year award, but she stole the show with her live performance of album track "Love Is A Losing Game". The Klaxons eventually won the award but even they admitted that Amy was the star of the show. This is a must-see...

As for the video, the girls look beautiful and the cinematography is great but it's lacking the Sugababes magic we see in their other video's. Have a look...

Rihanna's "Umbrella" meant for Britney?


It has been revealed that Rihanna's smash hit single "Umbrella" (which 'reigned' on the UK Singles Chart for 10 weeks) was originally meant for Britney Spears! I can't imagine Britney singing on Rihanna's signature track but it would of been cool to hear Britney's version!
Here's the article...

Rhianna’s number one smash hit song, ‘Umbrella,’ was originally written for Britney Spears, according to reports.

The revelation has emerged after the song’s creator, American music producer Tricky Stewart, told another one of his artists that Britney Spears never got back to him about the track, reports WENN.

Singer and songwriter Taio Cruz revealed: "I was working with Tricky in his studio the day he finished Umbrella. As soon as I heard it I said, 'That is a smash, I have to have it,' but he told me it was on hold for Britney.”
