Uh, Jay Sean coming to SA?

Jay-Sean
So there I am browsing the Computicket website for information about another event and I so happen to stumble upon information regarding R&B singer Jay Sean. The ‘Down’ singer will be performing at Emperor’s Palace on the 31st… according to my favourite promoters “Dolphin Media”. This this the same company that was bringing out Whitney Houston in March, remember?

Another BS story perhaps? Anyone know details about this? I’ll find out all the necessary info as soon as I can!

American Idol: And the winner is…

I’m quite stoked about this one. I think Lee is perfect Idol material. I think his voice is refreshing and I think he has similar, humble qualities to the original winner Kelly Clarkson. Good luck to him. I can’t wait to hear his album. As for Crystal? She’s set. She’s do just as well I feel!

Katy Perry is Maxim's Hottie of the year!

Katy
When editor-in-chief of Maxim magazine, Joe Levy says he thinks singer Katy Perry is “triple – no quadruple – kind of hot,” I completely, 150% agree. This comes to light as the “California Gurls” singer was named the number 1 hottie in the magazine’s hottest 100 list. Levy went on to say, “It’s that feeling you get when you suddenly realize that the smartest, funniest, coolest girl you know also happens to the best looking and a pretty good skateboarder, too.”

I’ve always been a fan of Katy Perry because of her free spirit and fun lyrics, but when I saw her guest judging on American Idol, I found myself not listening to what she had to say, but rather staring aimlessly at how beautiful she is. Those blue eyes… eish, hottie! Perry’s fiance, Russel Brand is one lucky man, that’s for sure!

Also on the list was Sports Illustrated swimwear model, Brooklyn Deckers (2), Gossip Girls’ Blake Lively, Rihanna, Zoe Saldana and more. Check out the full list here.

I feel this is going to be a big big year for Miss Perry, as she’s expected to drop her sophomore album soon. Can’t wait. So for your listening pleasure, here is the first single off that album. It’s called California Gurls and it features Snoop Dogg. Have a listen:

'Bionic' woman Christina Aguilera

The lovely Christina Aguilera is set to make a huge impact on the music scene come the 8th of June. The day she releases her fourth studio album. The first single premieres on her website later today (although it has leaked online already, so I’m told). The album is called ‘Bionic’. It’s described as showing how vocally she’s changed and how she’s pushing the boundaries with this new material. Aguilera has described this album as a unique mixture of all types of genres, “I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don’t think anyone will expect.”

On the album, she’s again teamed up with Linda Perry as well as collaborations with the likes of Sia, Tricky Stewart, Polow Da Don, Le Tigre, Hill & Switch, and Ladytron and others. “Working on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to Bionic. My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic.”

The video for “Not Myself Tonight” ChristinaAguilera.com at 6pm EDT on 3/30. So be sure to listen out and let me know your thoughts… I’ll do the same.

This woman is incredible: 30 million albums, 5 Grammys, a mother, a wife- and all that being under the age of 30.

Whitney is NOT coming to SA- Official statement!

Below is the official statement issued by RCA/JIVE Label Group International.
“Whitney Houston was never contacted regarding this show, was never booked to perform, and had no knowledge of the show. Consumers should be advised that she is not performing and they should not buy a ticket intending to see a Whitney Houston concert. A full detail of Ms. Houston’s official tour dates can be found at http://www.whitneyhouston.com

So again to the chops promoting this event…. you’re lame and you should not be making false, fraudulent statements like this! Maybe one day she will come back, but I’m sure the professional promoters will do it properly!
