Miley Cyrus out of the Grammys

December 14th, 2009 Val No comments

miley-cyrus-the-climb

The most famous singer from the Disney factory is expelled from the list of Grammy nominees.

The Grammys are an irrefutable manner, the most important awards of the musical sphere. All great artists worldwide have one or more of these prized awards that is comparable to the Oscars of the music. The award ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on 31 January 2010.

Miley Cyrus probably will not attend. What remedy? A 17 year old artist better known as Hannah Montana will have withdrawn the nomination for a Grammy as “Best Soundtrack”. The lists came about a month ago and chose Miley for that prize along with other composers of film music. Well, this Friday, and totally by surprise, the jury decided to disqualify the Grammys and they have released this past weekend.

The problem is, according to the jury, which is a totally insurmountable standard that the song in question, in this case ‘The Climb’, had been composed exclusively for the soundtrack of the film “Hannah Montana: The Movie “and, apparently, did not. In a statement sent by the American Academy of Music adds that these “mistakes” do not usually happen, because there is a very thorough and full control of filter candidates before they become official, but in such cases should be proceed with a change of nominee.

The new lucky is Karen O, who has composed the soundtrack of an audiovisual jewel that is currently in the charts of our country, “Where the Wild” by Spike Jonze. The soundtrack has been praised across America a few weeks of the premiere of the movie and now opts for a Grammy.

But Karen O does not have it all won because we have such worthy competitors such as Grammy Bruce Springsteen for the song ‘The Wrestler’ for Aronofsky film “The Wrestler” and Jai Ho, who won an Oscar for the song central “Slumdog Millionaire.”

December 9th, 2009 Val No comments

Alicia Keys has the support of the sexy singer Beyoncé on a theme of her new work.

“The Element Of Freedom” is the fourth studio album by American soul and rhythm and blues singer Alicia Keys. The artist has sold worldwide over 28 million albums and won numerous awards, including 12 Grammys, 17 Billboard Awards and three American Music Awards. Their debut album “Songs In A Minor won five Grammys in one night, a record he shares with Lauryn Hill (1999), Norah Jones (2003), Beyoncé (2004) and Amy Winehouse (2008).

Precisely one of her rivals at the Grammys and most awards ceremonies musical is U.S. singer Beyonce. Her latest album “I Am .. Sasha Fierce” is sweeping and promotion is almost an entire year, and her latest singles, like ‘Halo’, still sound like great news on the radio worldwide.

Well, if we discovered a few weeks ago to a Beyoncé sexier than ever in the video for the song ‘Video Phone’ in which she collaborates with the recently released diva Lady GaGa, today surprised us a new duet, this time with Alicia Keys.

The song chosen for this occasion is’ Put It In A Love Song ‘and belongs to the Keys’ album “The Element Of Freedom”. It’s a very poppy song-time and the voices of the two artists blend perfectly creating a soul and a rate only at your sophisticated voices. You can enjoy this musical track on the website YouTube. Now there is only little doubt if the two stars will join together to shoot the clip in such a good topic.

Time of Rihanna

November 27th, 2009 Val No comments

rihanna

Rihanna on Letterman, Good Morning America Rihanna, Rihanna for Nokia in London, Rihanna in the soup. Here we must conform to the image of Rihanna, “naked except for the barbed wire,” which decorate the whole world.

After his sad episode earlier this year it did not appear to be Rihanna’s year but the truth is that Barbados girl has finished the year with great momentum. With a rested head, with a little help from her friends and then presenting her new look on the cover of Vogue Italia, Rihanna has not only returned but, above, has done it so convincingly. And I refer to the tests. Rated R, which was released last Friday, already has great reviews. Congratulations!

To round off 2009, or to a good start in 2010, the singer, which is only 21, could pocket a whopping half million dollars for an exclusive performance in Abu Dhabi on New Year´s Eve. It would be her first performance in the Middle East, after the cancellation of an appointment in May due to the sad event starring his ex at the Grammys.

Take That is Back, Robbie Included

November 18th, 2009 Val No comments

The British singer confirms the return of Take That. A hard point out to the market, Robbie has already begun recording with his former band .

Robbie Williams’s return to music has not left anyone indifferent. His barrage of hits from both public and critics after its passage by the BBC worldwide love back to those who anxiously awaited him.

Now, just a few days after the publication of “Reality Killed the Video Star” on 9 November, and after successfully submitted their single ‘Bodies’ and his second hit ‘You Know Me’ the singer launches a bomb to media: Take That definitely joining again.

The first encounter with his former boy band mates came in September. When Take That came back almost a year ago, Robbie flatly refused to participate in the reunion (even at the meeting edited on DVD), and his companions continued without him. Take That are now succeeding as in its heyday during the 90s.

After the meeting in September, there have been much more complicated, good feelings, memories and, ultimately, frindship. Gary and Robbie are friends. So much so that after being reunited with Jason and Howard on the occasion of the bachelor party for Mark Owen organized an exclusive club in Soho in New York, Robbie Williams went into a tattoo shop and was shot in the arm near the wrist, the symbol of Take That.

According to Europa Press, Robbie did not disclose anything during his interview on the BBC: “I can not say too much, just that we have come together and we made some small things.” According to previous reports, former band members have already spent a time composing new songs for a hypothetical return of Take That, tour included.

And since the beginning of the reunification process of Take That, rumors about the addition of Robbie Williams broke. However, the artist chose to focus on his album “Reality Killed the Video Star”, which made him lose an opportunity to participate in a multibillion-dollar tour confirmed the return of the former boy band into the studio and on stage.

However, it appears that both Williams and the other components of Take That have this thorn stuck. Already in the “Ultimate Tour” of 2006 in one of the songs featured a 3D hologram of Robbie singing with the rest of the members of the group, and has not stopped speculation about joining ever so far, which is already confirmed.

The Spice Girls Going For A Gold Medal?

November 17th, 2009 Val No comments

The British media has dropped the bomb: The Spice Girls will open the London Olympics concert in 2012. Yes, the quintet of hot girls is together again to perform at the opening gala, more than two million people is expected to attend.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has already said for months: “Our Olympic Games will be spectacular. The music and culture will be very important” My question is this: are the Spice Girls really the most significant of England? Would they have picked someone else? We believe that Victoria Beckham is already thinking about the outfit she will wear on her night of glory …

Hopefully the five will be better than in 2007, when they landed in Madrid for a more than kitsch concert. Here I leave you with a video of Posh giving it all.

Lady Gaga and Hillary Duff: Gossip Girls

November 13th, 2009 Val No comments

The new Lady Gaga’s music video, Bad Romance is the first single from the reissue of their debut album under the name of The Fame Monster. Gaga had described the video of Bad Romance, directed by Francis Lawrence, a few days ago literally, explaining metaphors such encrypted between visual orgy, “There is a shot in the video where I’m kidnapped by some models. Wash my sins and swallow do to get high and sell vodka to the Russian mafia”

The director already has a substantial curriculum in creating a visual impact and has worked, among others, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and Gwen Stefani, artist of that so eagerly await their songs and their videos. So Gaga had complete trust in him. If you were able to direct Will Smith in I Am Legend would surely something interesting with it. From star to star. She brought her ideas “more eccentric and psychotic” which, knowing Lady Gaga, saying much.

The abduction of supermodels impossible and essential accessories add them together if you want to be as: razors glasses or those hyper modern triangular headphones. However, I must say that Gaga is dressed in Alexander McQueen, a designer who makes living selling clothes (how is this? Because someone will have to put it on I say!).

But do not think that only girls are linked to the scandal outlandish. The much FORMICA Hilary Duff has lifted all moral alarms many American parents consider that it is also the TV series Gossip Girl an example of morality. Hilary plays in the series Olivia a girl who has a list of 15 things to do before graduation among them is to make a trio. Olivia chooses to carry it out, fixed two of the series, Penn and Jessica Szohr Padgely. All three share kisses and just lying in bed. Hilary plays a character inspired by the character of Harry Potter, Emma Watson, a famous actress who wants to enjoy college life “normal”. As if parents do not already have enough to worry about Lady Gaga being construed as such on the series in the episode, appropriately titled The Last Days of Disco Stick, to be broadcast (in the American CW) the 16th.

Rihanna And Her Catharsis With Her New CD

November 10th, 2009 Val No comments

”I left the studio several times just to try to avoid breaking into tears,” the singer said Monday on recording her fourth album, “ Rated R,” which goes on sale Nov. 23.

“ The songs were about me, and turned into something so personal to the point that I took three months to start writing because it was too strong even hear them,” she confessed.

The CD comes nine months after the 21 years old star was attacked by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Rihanna said that record helped assuage her pain, gave her an outlet to express what she really felt.

“ I could get some air because I did not talk much actually. Not spoke to many people about how I felt or anything. I only did it on the album.”

Brown was arrested on Feb. 8. He was accused of beating Rihanna after the two attended a pre-Grammy party. Brown later pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to five years probation, six months of community service and one year of counseling for domestic violence.

After the attack, Rihanna said she was sitting at home sick, so she decided to get into the studio.

“ I was tired,” she said. “ I felt I was losing so much time and being lackadaisical. I just wanted to return to work and start recording.”

Rihanna, who just finished recording the CD last week, said the sound of this album is more “ dark” than her previous work because it reflects her turbulent year.

“ The experience was different because it came from a completely new mental space from a new perspective. Usually thought of funny stories to talk … But this time is really of my life,” she said.

It was also said that her supporters were excited to hear the song “ Stupid In Love”.

“ You are blinded by love, love is blind and sometimes you do not see it coming and then realizes the state of a relationship and say, ‘This is what I like. This does not make me happy,”.

The production, she said, reflects Rihanna as a woman, not the image the public has hitherto known it.

“ I feel that my fans know me, know what I looked like but did not know really my personality. They did not know really how I think or what you tolerate. They do not really know much about me as a person. They knew only my image and the idea of me,” she said.

“ I wanted to give more of what I really am because I feel that this is a connection I needed.”

Rihanna concludes that Rated R helped her to look ahead instead of lagging behind.

“Getting air is a part of getting ahead, you have to take what is inside and this album helped me do that. Being in the studio, writing, working with producers and songwriters making music,” she said. “ And what made it even more special is that it came from my heart and my true feelings, exactly how I felt.”
