Ryan Leslie has a new video for his song “How It Was Supposed to Be”. I see Ryan is trying to inject some life and energy into his image…but the music and his demeanor aren’t enough to disguise his laid back vocals. I like the song, but the video does nothing for me because he doesn’t [...]
Mariah Carey has a new video for her song “Right To Dream” from her movie “Tennessee”. The video contains scenes of her acting and I’m so not impressed. She has the same blank expression and monotonous voice in every scene…so I’m guessing her performance in this movie is going to get panned like “Glitter”. The [...]
Keyshia Cole remade Mary J. Blige’s “I Love You” with a little help from Lil Wayne. Keyshia does a pretty good job but it’s damn near impossible to top Mary. Keyshia’s delivery sounds too coached, too deliberate, and not as natural and raw as Mary. When Mary sings she gets just lets loose and pours [...]
Jamie Foxx has a new song called “Digital Girl” featuring The Dream and Kanye West. HOT! I’m so feeling this…Kanye starts off the track with a nice verse and I’m loving Jamie’s voice. The production is an interesting sound for Jamie…his first album “Unpredictable” was much more traditional R&B but this has a slightly dance [...]
The Grammy Nominations were revealed yesterday and here is the wrap-up:
“Lil Wayne the most prolific, ubiquitous and successful performer on today’s music scene — was the most rewarded by the Recording Academy on Wednesday, receiving eight Grammy nominations including album of the year for “Tha Carter III.”
Following close behind was Coldplay, with seven. Their “Viva [...]
Beyonce performed the song “Ave Maria” from her “I Am” album at the Christmas Ceremony at New York’s Rockefeller Center last night. As usual Beyonce looked and sounded beautiful. Even though the song isn’t very Christmas-y it was an excellent choice for the show. Very few artists can effortlessly do the uptempo dance music and [...]
Brandy has a new video for her song “Long Distance”. Brandy is looking pretty fabulous in this video…but I think she needs a fresher sound. All of the power ballads she has released border on cheesy. The plot behind the song is not something we hear everyday, but her delivery and the production is something [...]
Jamie Foxx has a new video for his song “Just Like Me” featuring TI. Puuuuure freaking comedy. Taraji Henson and Jamie are some damn fools! lmao. I’m sorry I can’t tell you what the hell the song is about because the every scene in the video had me rollin. I won’t say too much about [...]
Beyonce appeared on Ellen and for once didn’t come across so plastic and guarded. She shared some details of her life with Jay-Z and I found it quite charming and even funny at times. This video doesn’t show her performances, but if you’re a fan you will probably enjoy it. Oh yeah and sidebar: Beyonce [...]
Ne-Yo has a new video for his song “Mad”. I love the song but damn this is one depressing ass video! Ne-Yo has some surprisingly good acting chops and the lead actress in the video (I can’t recall her name at the moment- edit:Faune Chambers) was stellar. I give Ne-Yo kudos for making a good video [...]
