Cassie - Official Girl



I can't honestly say i've ever cared about Cassie. She's good to look at and it stops just about there. Talent wise.... she has none or very little at least, but i'm gonna give her some credit where credit's due. The recent leaked track 'Official Girl' produced by Danja is pretty hot. It's not for everybody but it's definately a grower.

Diddy hasn't stopped bangin' on about how much she has improved since her infamous BET performance of Me & U and it seems he was right, kinda. Check it out for yourself Listen/DL

Whitney Houston - 'Whitney Screws Up The Classics'


Debra Wilson portrays Whitney to a t in this comedy sketch of 'Whitney Screws Up The Classics'. Debra Wilson is one of the funniest women out there and she nails every charactor she plays. If it's Whitney, Oprah or even Mariah the sketch is sure to make you piss!!! They'll be alot more of her sketchs on here so keep your eye out!!

Mariah Carey - Fly Like A Bird

MC performed 'Like A Bird' On American Idol and i'm glad to say Mimi is BACK!!! The voice was there... Check out the performance below.



I was jumping from my seat when my girl started hitting them notes!
At first i was thinking about Simon Cowell sat there comparing Leona Lewis with Mariah and most likely think Leona is better... Then Mariah starts with the notes!!!
Leona sit down!!! You will never EVER sing like MC does.... as Mimi says "Often imitated, never duplicated"

I'm glad to hear Mariah sing like Mariah is supposed to, after watching her struggle to sing 'Touch My Body' i was about to hit the final nail in Mariah's coffin!!!

Gril rose from the dead! Welcome Back

Kelly Rowland - Comeback Video

Light years ago a preview of the 'Comeback' video was released and i knew from that clip that the video was going to be the shit!!! Check out the video below



Kelly looks HOT!!! She brought it in this video and the song is just as hot. Kelly has upped her game alot with 'Ms Kelly' Her image has been on point an the album was on point but it seems Kelly just can't catch a break. Kelly has a very sweet and humble personality and i'd love to see her have success, maybe the key is in her leaving her management, which she wont do, so she will stay the underdog untill the chick finds sense!

Chris Brown - Forever. New Single


'Forever' is Chris' new single of the re-release of his 'Exclusive' album (Released June). The song is produced by joker of the moment Polow Da Don. Have a Listen

Review coming soon

Usher - Love In The Club Video

We was treated to a preview of the video to Ushers Smash Hit 'Love In The Club' and now the video has premiered. Check it out.



The video is pure hotness with star camoes from Diddy, Kanye West, Robin Thicke, Nelly and new comer Kerri Hilson. 'Love In The Club' has been a smash for Usher even without a video or a stitch of promotion and apparently all thanks to Palow Da Don (Yeah right!)
Usher always has a good comeback without a dount with slick choreography and an infectious melody this one will sure ride all the way into the summer!

Mariah Carey Album Review




I'm going to do a full album review soon.

I'm having a good listen and getting to grips with each track to give my honest opinion. The album is very pleasing to the ear so far and there are some nice mid temp tracks that i can't stop playing. As i predicted MC wouldn't let me down and i was right.
Although Mariah's eleventh studio album 'E=MC²' is a good one, for me personally it doesn't have shit on some of her older stuff. She enlisted the best producers and writers for this project which include her partner in crime Jermaine Dupri, Stargate, Brian Michael Cox, Scott Scorch & Swizz beatz & Danja plus more! The lyrical content is fun but has been said before a million times. Mariah has always written and produced her own material but i feel like she doesn't capture the message in the songs like she used to. I've always been MC's biggest fan of her songwriting and its not that she's done a bad job this time round, it just doesn't touch me as much. If you're expecting to hear MC blow like she does on such classics like 'Butterfly', 'My All', Hero' or 'Anytime You Need A Friend' and so on, then you may be a tad disappointed.
Vocally Mariah doesn't bring it like she once did or could. I don't know what Mimi's been doing but i've got a feeling shes damaged her voice some how and she finds it hard to sing like she once did which has been evident in her recent performances of her (18th #1) single 'Touch My Body'.



The album has a consistant flow of smooth R&B/POP and it flows together nicely. If you're looking for a hot, laid back album to jam to all summer this is definately the one for you. But i do think to myself... If this was a J-Lo album would we give a shit about it? Well the answer is no and that is partly because Jenny from the block can't sing for shit, but i did mean song wise.


The stand out tracks that i'm really feeling right now are:

Cruise Control,
This has a soft Reggae feeling to it which also see's Mariah singing with a Jamaican accent. Its fun, light and something i can see myself blasting from my car all summer. The song also features the legendary Bob Marley's son Damian Marley.

I Stay In Love
This song is a beautiful R&B ballad which had Mariah written all over it with her trademark Bone Thugs N Harmony type melodies. The song is the same old story... She can't let go of her man!

Bye Bye
Another R&B ballad, simple and not much to it with a nice message. This song is for everybody who has lost somebody. There really isn't much i can say about this song apart from its catchy and once it catches it will be stuck in your head!

Thanx 4 Nothin'
Another slow jam which has a smooth melody... The song reminds me at times of 'Don't Forget About Us' Again, you can't go wrong with this song. Its very catchy

Migrate
This song is like a virus... its very infectious! The song features T-Pain with his vocoded to death vocals but it all adds to the song so i aint mad! The song opens with MC singing the punch line of the music, very clever.

And of course...

Touch My Body
Which is fun and catchy... You know the song so theres no need for me to talk about it.

I will continue my review soon... when i have an opinion on the other tracks.
Over all i give this album a

4/5

Chilli - Dumb Dumb Dumb


Former TLC beauty Chilli has a new single on the leak. It seems like forever that shes been putting something out but i ain't mad at her, I love Chilli's voice so its nice to hear something new from her. Check out the song below.

Chris Brown - Take You Down

As this is a new blog some of the news isn't fresh but still worthy of posting for the folk who may not be up to date with everything.

Chris Brown's new single will be 'Take You Down' off of his 'Exclusive' album and this is one of my personal faves off of the album. The video is footage from his "Up Close and Personal" tour. I would've liked an actual music video for this song to be honest so for me the video is a big let down. But this is definately one for the ladies. Check it out.
