Christina Aguilera hires a vocal coach

We all know that Aggy has a phenomenal voice, however she is constantly being criticized for over singing and growling on her latest works. X-Tina has probably caught wind of the criticism and has now hired
famed vocal coach, Seth Riggs. Some of Seth's students include Michael Jackson and Josh Groban.

This is a good step for Christina. It shows she's willing to work on her voice to show restraint and not over sing and to hit those notes when we need to hear those notes.

Album Review: Kelly Rowland - Here I Am [Standard Edition]

Album Review: Kelly Rowland - Here I Am [Standard Edition]

"Kelly's Back!"
Just a month after her former Destiny's Child partner in crime Beyonce released her album, Kelly Rowland is back with her third studio album, "Here I Am" to be released the 26th. After failed "buzz singles" like 'Commander' & 'Rose Colored Glasses' Kelly finally stuck gold with her Hit Single 'Motivation' ft Weezy. The track hit #1 on the R&B chart twice and made it to the top 20 on the Hot 100. The cd features rappers Lil' Wayne, Lil' Playy, & Big Sean.

With her last album 'Ms Kelly' being released in 2007 and hitting #6 on the Hot 200 albums and #2 on the R&B albums will we see Ms Rowland achieve more success in a culture of Rihannas, GaGas and Beyonces'. Keep in mind Kelly has tore up the charts in Europe, however in her home country they have shown little love it kind of goes to show America doesn't have much music range! Click after the break to view my track by track review!

No Doubt working with Major Lazer

Gwen Stefani may be done with her successful solo career, but it is time to get to business on working on the bands new album. The band last released single 'Stand and Deliver' back in 2009 around the time they went on tour (which I was lucky enough to go to). but the single never took off and they didn't release an album.

The band is now hitting the studio to get ready to release their 6th studio album and working with Major Lazer! This has me excited I like the duo's production and add a band like No Doubt, who knows how crazy it will be?! Are you excited?

Joint of the Moment

Big Sean - Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay ft Kanye West & Roscoe Dash

This song has honestly been on repeat for me since his cd came out. The track features Kanye West which is who's label Sean is signed to. Sean holds his own but it's Yeezy's verses that stick out like,

"She's so cool give head with her shades on"

The album is a definite banger and he has become one of my new favorite albums. Make sure to get your copy of "Finally Famous"

Chris Brown breaks records at 'The Today Show'

Chris Brown stopped by the 'The Today Show' yesterday to perform for the Toyota Summer Series. He performed his hits "I Can Transform Ya", "She Ain't You", "Forever", & "Yeah X3".

Ms Kimberly Jones joined Mobb Deep on stage for the first performance since Prodigy's release from jail. Kim held it down on her verse on the groups 1999 smash "Quiet Storm (remix)".

Check it out after the break.

Trey Songz lines up next single

Trey Songz announced to MTV that his next single off his 'Passion, Pain, & Pleasure" cd is the Drake assisted track, "Unusual". They will be shooting a video for the track soon.

Kelly Rowland finally names new album!

Sadly Ms Kelly has gotten very little love in the states, however over on the other side of the Atlantic she has been getting much love.

Last year she released her single and video for the David Guetta dance produced track, 'Commander'. The track failed to do any success. However the ex-Deatiny's Child member has her new single line up, 'Motivation' featuring Lil' Wayne. The urban track has been doing well on the charts for Kelly, the track currently sits at No 3 on the Billboard R&B chart and No 31 on the Hot 100.

Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull tear up the floor on American Idol

Tonight on 'American Idol' judge Jennifer Lopez took the stage to perform her hit single 'On The Floor' and Pitbull also joined her on stage. Jennifer brought to us a heavy choreographed dance number which has her smashing glass and getting it on the floor. My favorite part is the dance break down she does before Pitbull's second verse.

**I will update with a higher quality video once one becomes available via mobile lol (I'm blogging from my phone right now)

Jennifer Lopez's 'Love?' set to flop?

Jennifer might have found success in co-judging American Idol with Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler however that doesn't go the same for her new album 'Love?' which hit stores this past Tuesday. Hits Daily Double predicts the album will sell 60-65k. This isn't a total flop since she is set to sell more than her last album 'Brave' which is her worst selling cd so far.

Okay I find this sad. I know Jenny is not the best singer but she brings it in performance. Her cd is actually really good and I actually went out and bought the cd! (I haven't done that since Drake's cd 6/15/10) I think that says something haha. Her selling 60k just hoes to show people don't buy cd's unless you cater to the teeny boppers!

Mariah Carey finally names her twins or how she refers to them as "Dem Babies". She has named her daughter Monroe Carey and her son Moroccan Scott Carey.

The story behind the name goes as followed... Monroe is named after one of Mariah's idols Marilyn Monroe, she has no middle name since Mariah doesn't. Her son's first name comes from where Nick proposed which was her New York apartment called The Moroccan Room. His middle name Scott is Nicks middle name as well as his grandmother's maiden name.

Ms Britney Spears hits Platinum with 'Femme Fetale'

Britney Spears has hit Platinum status with het 7th studio album 'Femme Fetale'. Congrats!

The RIAA counts by units shipped, not by sold. Britney has yet to sell 500k but has shipped 1 million to get her the status. What do you think about this, should status depend on units sold or shipped?

Rumor Has It: Mariah to deliver today?

Rumor has it Mariah is scheduled to undergo a c-section at a Los Angeles area hospital today??

We will see!

Firstly lets congratulate Ms. Carter her first single from her new album, 'Run The World (Girls)' has hit the Billboard Hot 100 at #33 with 77,000 downloads. Of course this is with almost no promotion. As the weeks go and the promo starts I'm sure this will only climb on the charts.

Beyonce has teamed up with Michelle Obama to help end child obesity with the "Lets Move! Flash Workout" campaign. Beyonce re-records her hit single "Get Me Bodied" she turns it in to a work out video joined by kids. I love the video! It makes me want to get up and dance!

New Music: Britney Spears - Till The World Ends Femme Fetale Remix


Britney teams up with tour mate Nicki Minaj and write of her single Ke$ha to prouce the  remix to her second single, 'Till The World Ends Femme Fetale Remix". I personally prefer this version of the song verse the original. Of course what becomes irritating is the constant battle between Nicki and Kim. Nicki takes jabs at Kim.

"Told you they'd revive your career but somebody lied, I ain't talking poultry when I say this chickens fried"
" What, you tired?, you need a break?, you was hot when? Ricki Lake"

Anyway I really enjoy this. Click after the break to listen to the song!

So far Nicki has two videos on hold, 'Super Bass' & 'Fly' ft Rihanna. When is she going to release them?  Nicki has been busy lately with just finishing the 'Femme Fetale Remix' of Britney Spears new single along with Ke$ha and prepping her tour with Britney Spears.
