[Watch] Mariah Carey Performs "Meteroite" @ The 2014 World Music Awards..Yawn




Meteorite is one of my jams from Me. I Am Mariah, so I was excited to hear the Diva was giving it a live bash at The 2014 World Music Awards. I was also a little confused- isn't You Don't Know What to Do her current single?- but whatever, we know this campaign is an assortment of random foolery. We have to live with that.

[Watch] Leona Lewis Covers Naughty Boy's "La La La" @ World Music Awards 2014



Naughty Boy's La La La was practically the soundtrack to my summer last year.

The original featured site favorite (*sniggers*) male vocalist Sam Smith, but as he's infinitely more busy since his career has taken off, Naughty Boy enlisted Diva, Leona Lewis, to provide the lead vocals at the 2014 World Music Awards.

So I got somewhere to be in ten minutes, yet here I am (stupidly) dropping this post on Beyonce's remix for the awesome Flawless. (Watch me be late!)

[Music Video] Janelle [Music Video] Janelle Monae - ‘Electric Lady’





Janelle Monae continues to bring me mountain air with her output. Freshness unfettered.

Newest video, for album title track Electric Lady, finds the Diva more chilled than seen in previous videos; enjoying the delights of a house party with her cool crew. (I'm in the background somewhere, don't let no one tell you any different!) It's just good vibes all round.

Yes, That Is Mariah Carey In Katy Perry's Video For "This Is How We Do"!




I am feeling the video for Katy Perry's new single, This is How We do. Really, I am!

The song itself isn't bad, being another kinda generic ode to going out, getting stupidly drunk and putting it about- sorta my life story. But my enjoyment of it has been enhanced a hundredfold by the playful visuals the song has been given.

[Listen] Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett Team Up on 'Anything Goes'


lady gaga tony bennettLady Gaga is back where she sounds most comfortable: singing Jazz! Yipee!

Teaming up with Tony Bennet once again- the pair previously dueted on The Lady is a Tramp- the resulting track, Anything Goes, should remind those who view Gaga as merely a shock jock that there is real talent behind the clownish costumes. And it's a side we'll be seeing a lot more of in the coming months, as the duo are set to release album Cheek To Cheek this September.

[Review] Jessie J Feat. Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj - "Bang Bang"

Jessie J kind of fell off with her second album Alive.

Hoping to reclaim former success with album number three, the Diva has released its lead single, the much hyped Bang Bang. A song that should make her relevant alone with its featured artists: vocalist Ariana Grande and rapper Nicki Minaj.

With a gospel influence and two capable singers at its helm, I was expecting one helluva vocal show from Bang Bang. It's an expectation that never really fulfilled, with the song peaking after halfway with a throat-busting (A Cappella) run from Jessie that should see the singer blow out her voice box sometime this year when attempting live. After that "moment", it's a noisy stumble to an unsatisfying conclusion.
