Ashley Tisdale -Masquerade
(Digital Single/Out Now!)
Ashley is following a trend of releasing digital singles before the album is being released to promote the album. "Masquerade" is said to be the second single overall but also the first one to be released on itunes prior the album, with songs like "Acting Out" to be released soon. "Masquerade" is agressive Pop/Rock uptempo with mouthful of lyrics and catchy chorus, and it's relatives could be songs like "Fly on the Wall" by Miley Cyrus and "La La" by Ashlee Simpson. Ashley is musically following the style that Ashlee Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff trusted for few years back and surprisingly it really fits Ashley pretty well. The song is catchy and great one to promote the album's list of potential chorus's and fantastic melodies spicied with Ashley's risky vocals. She is better vocalist that we ever though she was. "Masquerade" isn't though a anthem that will be glued to the airways for the years to come, but it's instant and you'll enjoy it while it lasts. Anyway, great track and hopefully promotion and video clip will follow soon.
8/10
David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland -When Love Takes Over
(Digital Single/Out Now!)
Started with simple but darn catchy piano melody, growing up to be hitlicious dance-anthem with Kelly Rowland's beautiful vocals that aren't luckily produced to the max, instead Kelly sings with free notes and with beautiful soulfullness. While the song can be judged as pretty usual dance-track with nothing new, the track has huge potential that opens up with more spins on the player - it's quite a grower! It's already #1 in UK and on Top 10 all over the world, so there is no denying how this song really impacts well on us and what a beautiful, refreshing summer-anthem it is. Kelly does have those for every summer, right? Work it girl!
9/10
Katy Perry -Waking up in Vegas
(CD/Digital out Now)
Katy Perry released three fantastic, diffirent singles to kick off her career in style. "Hot'n Cold" remains as some of the most played songs in a long time, on my ipod as well as in Radio stations. Her new effort to promote her debut is called "Waking up in Vegas" and as colourful and good her video clip and cover art for the song are, there is something missing from the song itself. Pretty generic verses and chorus fall short from her previous unforgettable melodies and chorus's. The whole track worns out quite quickly and doesn't stick into your head that well. All in all it's pretty forgettable track that makes us think Katy made a mistake by giving "I Do Not Hook Up" for Kelly Clarkson, even though Kelly didn't make it a huge hit herself. It's still miles better than this Katy's fourth single. Hopefully Katy is able to re-invent herself and doesn't fail with her next album, she's a lot of fun and diffirent. Maybe that was exactly why this single doesn't impress.
5/10
The Saturdays -Work
(UK CD Out now!)
The Saturdays are one Pop-train moving on with full force! Their fifth single "Work" has just been released and it's pretty danceable Pop-gem with strong vocals. Sexy, darker video for "Work" is playing on TV in UK and girls are on their tour right now as well as working on their next album to be released on fall. "Work" is fantastic song, already planned as a single before "Just Can't Get Enough" that peaked at #2 in UK charts. It's very unpredictable to say what'll happen with this single, it deserves at least Top 5 position and will be top 10 single, but anything can happen at this point. The Sats will score pretty potential hit out of this for sure though and there is no denying how great the song is - although the fans probably are dead bored with the song already from playing it hundreds of times since the album was released.
8½/10
Britney Spears -Radar
(UK release: August 10th)
Britney Spears is making a smart and dumb move at the same time. "Radar" that was supposed to be 4th single from "Blackout" is now 4th release from "Circus", promoting both albums at the same time. The label is claimed to be choosing this instead of a new, "Circus" track is because there is a contract behind the song that is now being fulfilled with a single release. As for the song itself, "Radar" is probably the safest choise from the album at this point, while "If U Seek Amy" didn't make as strong impact as it was expected to after controvercy of the lyrics brought hype around the release. "Radar" is electric Pop-song and probably the most friendliest choise for the dancefloors and dance charts to bring Britney back to more electric sounds. It's catchy and edgy track that'll for sure be a hit, if promotion and a video will be well done. The song has already made it's debut's on charts with a digital downloads being rather high when "Blackout" was released in 2007 and again in 2008 due the promotional/digital release from "Blackout" and now gaining a lot of airplay everywhere in 2009. So it should be safe to say, the song won't be passing by unnoticed.
9/10
Mariah Carey -Obsessed
(TBA)
Mariah Carey scores again! Her catchy, bitchy song with genious lyrics (obviously directed to rapper Eminem) will obviously be a hit and will probably have another sarcastic music-video directed to it. While Carey has no changes to her musical style whatsoever, the song is safely said better than any of her latest singles before this and after "Touch my Body", that had some potential and has more edge than most of her late releases. Hopefully the album will be more edgy and less of something we've heard from her before billion times already. The song is all about the strong beats, meeting Mariah's heavily autotuned vocals and confident attitude that is all over the brilliant lyrics that will cause a controvercy around the drama between Mimi and E. As much as urban tracks like this fit to Mariah, she should try something new. Unfortunately the shine of this single fades out too soon, so hopefully Carey has something even better in store for us!

Ashley Tisdale/New edgier image & World tour?
Posted on at 10:25 PM.
Ashley Tisdale knows it sounds silly, but her new album has a lot to do with the color of her hair. "For the last few years everyone has thought of me as Sharpay," the 23-year-old singer/actor says, referring to her blonde-and-bubbly character in Disney's smash "High School Musical" films.
"So after I'd finished all the promotion for 'High School Musical 3' I dyed my hair back to its original color. I'd been a blonde for five years; Disney wanted us to be those characters. But the new songs I was working on felt edgier, sort of back to how I was before 'High School Musical.' I wanted to show people a side of me they haven't seen before."
Tisdale accomplishes that -- well, sort of -- on "Guilty Pleasure," due July 28 from Warner Bros. Like her 2007 debut, "Headstrong" (which, according to Nielsen SoundScan, has sold 471,000 copies in the United States), the new 14-track set offers plenty of catchy choruses and lyrics about boys.
But with songwriting and production credits from "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi, among others, "Guilty Pleasure" is a more mature, guitar-driven outing than the dance-pop "Headstrong." In the opener, "Acting Out," she promises to "break these chains" over driving bubble-punk drums, while the lead single, "It's Alright, It's OK," could be the younger sister of Pink's "So What."
"A lot of the songs on the album are about survival and staying strong," says Tisdale, who co-wrote four cuts. "I really wanted it to be a statement and a reflection of what I've been through over the past year and how I've grown up."
Once "Guilty Pleasure" is out, Tisdale says she hopes to tour the United States and Europe (where the set was released earlier this month). "This album is so important to me," she says. "I really want to support it as much as I can. You put your heart and soul into something and it makes you a little bit vulnerable. It is who I am -- hopefully people will like that."

Tinchy Stryder ft. Amelle (Sugababes)/Video Premiere!
Posted on 24.6.09 at 11:47 AM.
Official Music Video of the surprisingly good song "Never Leave You" from Tinchy Stryder featuring Amelle Berrabah from the Sugababes. It's like R&B version of "About You Now" with completely diffirent melody, but somehow it just reminds the hit-single a bit with it's soft electro beats. Amelle completely steals the show as expected and her vocals are super-smooth and beautiful. Definately worth of watching!
"Never Leave You" is released on August 13th, so go and get it when it's out!

Keri Hilson/Nicole was forced back to Pussycat Dolls!
Posted on at 10:45 AM.
Singer-songwriter Keri Hilson has accused music industry bosses of forcing Nicole Scherzinger to abandon her solo career and return to the Pussycat Dolls.The band took a short hiatus following the success of their 2005 album PCD and Scherzinger began work on her own record, titled Her Name Is Nicole. But the album was never released, and several of the tracks written for the project ended up being recorded for the latest Pussycat Dolls album, "Doll Domination". Scherzinger subsequently claimed it was her own decision to quit the project and focus on the band, but Hilson - who wrote a track for the solo album - insists industry bosses forced the singer back to the girl group.
She says, "I wrote Alienated, one of the songs on my album, for Nicole's solo project. It was a good album but she decided to go back to the Dolls instead of releasing it, well she was kinda forced to I think. It was a good situation for me as I fell in love with that song, so I got to keep it."
Rumours the Pussycat Dolls are heading for a full time split erupted earlier this year (09) after their last two singles were released under the name The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger. The group themselves have denied the rumours and have underlined that the group is finnishing the tour but they'll remain as a group.
They still have one album still to record according to their contract and Nicole has said she records songs for PCD and her solo record, but she has no idea yet when the solo effort will be finnished and pushed out. Latest rumours say that instead of "Doll Domination 2.0", US and Canada would get "Mini Collection" just like UK release, later on in July. But so far this has been unconfirmed by the label.
About the article itself, I think Keri Hilson could be right. I think no-one is surprised over this statement and the allegation of Nicole being pushed back to PCD. It's been quite visible throughout this era, unfortunately.

Backstreet Boys/New album in September!
Posted on at 10:17 AM.
Backstreet Boys are busy recording the album to be released this fall. The new single is set to be released digitally/to radios already next month and they are yet to decide the single. A song called "Straight Through My Heart" was mentioned by Brian and according to reports, it's a song produced by RedOne. They also are considering a song called "Helpless", but they will make a final decision of the song next week.On the negative side, two new Backstreet Boys songs have leaked online from the new album sessions. Boys and producers have been stunned and dissapointed with the leaks and want to remain the material, especially the unfinnished material under wraps and boys have asked the fans to report and delete links from the songs that weren't planned to leak. It has already caused a consideration of the album being pushed back.
Yet untitled album is set to be released worldwide, with a planned release date on the last week of september. Boys have said they'll confirm the dates and titles later on, within few weeks.

MuchMusic Awards 2009/
Posted on 22.6.09 at 3:48 PM.
MuchMusic Video Awards of this year was proadcasted last night and Miss Lady Gaga totally did the best performance of the night, showing exactly why she skyrocketed to fame with her debut album. Too bad the video itself is out of sync. Her vocals were top notch once again and her outfit meeting the crazy choreography was just awsome! Funny moment was seen when the camera men obviously didn't know what the hell they were doing. Somewhere before five minutes. And then again in 30 seconds. DAMN! So unprofessional. Readers told us this wasn't the case in the actual TV proadcast, but what was this? Anyway, Gaga worked it! Fantastic performance!
Show those haters girl! Kelly Clarkson performing "My Life Would Suck without You". Her vocals were fine again, and she looked quite good actually. Great job! By the way, Joseph Kahn has just shot a video with Kelly Clarkson, most likely to her next single "Already Gone". Kahn has previously done videos for Lady Gaga, Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears. Can't wait for that!
Black Eyed Peas performing their #1 hit "Boom Boom Pow". While BEP always have great energy on stage, their vocals never meet the expectations. This was although pretty good performance, pretty enjoyable. Although the Quality could've been better. Check out the pictures from the award show with stars like Girlicious (Now as a trio) walking in the red carpet.

Pink/Funhouse (Video)
Posted on 20.6.09 at 6:18 PM.
P!nk and her new video for "Funhouse", fourth single from the album with same title. The video is pretty much completely diffirent from the idea that I had in mind for the video. It starts up in a desert, Pink walking in a burning house and ends with Pink driving away with her motorcycle. Something is definately missing from this video, especially in comparison to her three previous videos that were pretty much perfection. Anyway, "Funhouse" is fantastic choise for UK and Europe, where australia's release is "Bad influence". The album holds up to many potential single choises, so we'll be just waiting for "It's all your fault" to be released. It's fantastic, catchy Pop/rock piece that would kill the radio charts.

Sugababes/Rihanna has become the 4th member!
Posted on 19.6.09 at 6:58 PM.
Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan says the trio have struck up a close friendship with Rihanna while recording in America. Rihanna has become the "fourth Sugababe".The 'Umbrella' singer has been advising the British trio - who have signed a record deal with Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella label - while they are recording in America and has struck up such a close bond with the 'Ugly' stars, they have grown to regard her as part of the band.
Singer Keisha Buchanan - who makes up the group with Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range - told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "We keep missing Jay-Z. Every time we're gonna hook up he's off partying with Diddy or someone, but Rihanna has been a huge help to us. She's been like our fourth members, listening to all our songs and saying what she liked and what she didn't."
Sugababes are getting ready to reveal their brand new single in next coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Christina Aguilera/ "Mind Control", new single!
Posted on at 1:51 AM.
Christina Aguilera is about to do "Womanizer" with her upcoming single, called "Mind Control" that will be premiered to audience in a week or two. The song is described as electric, vocally crazy and being bit similar to Rihanna's "Umbrella". It's said to have crazy autotune-parts that she pulls off well. The song reached in it's final mix just moments ago and it's said to be fresh hit and worth of all waiting.Christopher Stewart is behind the song and he has previously produced hits for Mariah Carey (Touch my Body and the new single Obsessed), Beyonce (Single Ladies), Rihanna (Umbrella, Good girl Gone Bad) and Britney Spears (Me against the Music).
It should be pretty exciting. Maybe she'll show the haters that she can't be ruled out - at least just not quite yet. More details should arrive soon.

Live Videos/The Saturdays & Sophie-Ellis Bextor
Posted on at 1:16 AM.
The Saturdays performing "Work" in the GMTV morning show. Too bad Mollie pretty much never hits the right notes in the intro, but she was okay. Girls were bit rusty vocally that morning, weren't they? Anyway, they were good. Some of the girls seemed bit uncomfortable and clumsy with their sexual moves too, especially Mollie who has said she has never felt "sexy", so she struggles with that. Also, Frankies super-short hair has luckily grown a bit, which is all good. Never liked her short hair anyway.
Remember to "Work" the girls up to the Top 5 in UK by downloading the song already and buying the single, when it's out on 29th of June!
Sophie-Ellis Bextor also performed her new single, "Heartbreaker makes me a Dancer" in GMTV. In the song, she teamed up with Freemasons and made it into potential huge hit, hopefully it will be one. Sophie performed it quite well, even if her posh, fragile voice doesn't give out much to go with. She looked awsome, she always does and luckily she doesn't look as anorexic as she did before the pregnancy. Good job, Soph!

VipMedia Recommends/Girls Can't Catch
Posted on 18.6.09 at 11:52 PM.
VipMedia recommends a new girlgroup called Girls can't catch and especially their debut single "Keep your head up" that is utterly fabulous! Their song is musically something like Girls Aloud and The Saturdays but with diffirent electro edge and visually they look like mixture of Atomic Kitten and The Saturdays. The song is very catchy and electric, especially the chorus that really hits you! The girls are still quite new and young and their label Fascination seems to produce as many girlgroups out there than possible. The same label is behind The Saturdays and Girls Aloud, that GCC supported on their last tour. Take a look, you'll love it!

Beyonce/Broken-hearted Girl (Video)
Posted on 16.6.09 at 10:14 PM.
Beautiful, brand new video from Beyonce called "Broken-hearted Girl". One of the favourites from the album and definately the third best ballad from it. The video starts up typically as black & White clip with beach shots, but suddenly from the halfway moves to be quite beautiful and well edited video. Fits well to the song itself and it's not as boring as you could predict. Great that the video starts up with B&W Set but gets colours later on too. Too bad that the song or the video aren't her best work and you start to get annoyed from the predictable B&W Sets. "Sweet Dreams" video should arrive at any minute!

VipMedia's Recommendation/David Archuleta
Posted on at 1:01 AM.
After two pretty generic, yet quite enjoyable singles and one hit-single released, David Archuleta released one Digital song/single called "Zero Gravity" recently in iTunes and VipMedia Recommends it. It works as a path from debut album to his upcoming second album and the song is quite brilliant! "Zero Gravity" is Pop track with softly R&B-influenced backgrounds and catchiest chorus he's had in awhile. While there is no video being shot for the song, it'll remain as one of his best songs and a good one to enjoy before the next album. Fantastic one, definately recommended by us!Download Zero Gravity!

They have 3 days to create a song and send it to Britney’s people to see if she likes it. The song starts with words "If You See Me.." and it's described as a catchy hit that stays in your head for hours. Britney is said to hit the studio in a break from the tour, after European gigs.

Take That on Friday Night, performing their new single "Said it All" live. Great vocals and I love the song, but this performance truly makes me doubt about this song becoming a hit. For the first time, this song seems bit boring and too long. I love the song, so hopefully I'm wrong. It's the best one on the album. But we'll see what'll happen. Anyway, vocally fantastic performance. Not their sharpest, but good!

Posted on 13.6.09 at 6:26 PM.
We are so late with this, but due the busy personal life we didn't want to release videos in here without a proper review, so no rushing out was needed. Jordin Sparks finally releases a strong, iconic song that American Idol should always have. This new song/video "Battlefield" is the best thing since "Tattoo", but miles better and could have been Rihanna's super-hit as well. "Battelfield" is catchy and powerful song full of potential and the video is fully supporting the hugeness of the song itself, it's beautiful and strong effort. Great job Jordin! I'm a fan!

Kylie/New album in works!
Posted on 10.6.09 at 12:28 AM.
Kylie Minogue has announced she has began work on her 11th album. Speaking to Billboard she said it will still have pop, dance feel but she hopes to find a next step for the album, a slightly new style. One confirmed producer/writer is British electropop singer Frankmusik, he said he will give her strong pop songs but nothing outrageous because Kylie doesn't do outrageous.Hopefully it'll be something as catchy as most of the "X" was, without being all over the place with all these diffirent kind of tracks. She needs to snap all these new acts with sharp new, modern Pop album and show them what Kylie is!

VipMedia News Flash/New Music from Aguilera, Girlicious and Shakira!
Posted on 8.6.09 at 2:18 AM.
-Christina Aguilera's new album will be called "Light & Darkness". It will have several tracks, where she worked with Ladytron. She's influenced by "high fashion" and "Andy Warhol." Christina Aguilera isn't done working on her album yet, she still has two more months before wrapping it finally. Reportedly it will be released somewhere in fall, so she may debut her single on MTV Video Music Awards like she has done previously. -Girlicious are in fact trio for now. Robin Antin has confirmed girls recording their new album, but without Tiffanie. Earlier Robin said that Girlicious aren't breaking up, but didn't mention one member leaving, but now it's official if it wasn't already when Tiff was removed from the pictures of the group's official myspace page. Antin posted a message to the fans: "Nic, Nat & Chrys r getting ready to record a new single, new video, & tour the world! We LOVE YOU 4 LOVING GIRLICIOUS!" The girls are recording their new album, their first one to be released in US.
-Shakira is set to comeback sooner than we thought! The new single will be entitled "She Wolf" (Loba in spanish) and the video for it will be shot in Los Angeles very soon. More updates coming up soon.

VipMedia´s Recommends/ Ashley Tisdale
Posted on 7.6.09 at 9:20 PM.
Ashley Tisdale's gap musically between AshleE Simpson and Lindsay Lohan is getting smaller by the day. Where "Headstrong" was naive but uptempo tracks were very catchy and timeless, her brand new album is more mature, stronger and vocally less safe. Her high notes complement the rough Pop/Rock instrumentals well and the lyrics have more depth. VipMedia recommends... Ashley Tisdale and her new album, titled "Guilty Pleasure". Weird thing is that the title song isn't on the album itself, it's found as a b-side of the first single from some editions.It's Alright, It's Ok
Video and the song work pretty well, when you get past the "So What" vibe that comes in the chorus. It's catchy and good first single, but the failed promotion that never came as a surprise to me, really ruined the success that it should've recieved.
Acting Out
The song kicks off with dramatic strings but the cheesyness shortly fades away when the first verse starts, it's actually pretty good Pop/Rock effort and good example of what the album has to offer - String of potential tracks for people who loved Lindsay Lohan's, Hilary Duff's and Ashlee Simpson's previous Pop/Rock influenced albums, that I really loved as well. Fun lyrics and catchy melody make this song very enjoyable.
Masquerade
Part 2 for brilliant "Fly on the Wall" from Miley Cyrus, but in the good way without being anything like it. This is reported to be her second single released before the album is being released. Again very catchy melody and great chorus.
Overrated
Great lyrics and good song! Just what this album needed, strong melodies and catchy choruses that really are huge step up for Ashley as an artist. Melodycally it pretty much continues where the first single left off. Strong vocals again do well with the melody.
How Do you love Somebody
Tradig lyrics, well written and strong song with great chorus. Definately the best tracks from the record. Pretty much diffirent from the rest of the songs, but in a good way. The title of the song could let you expect a ballad, but it's anything but. Great job Ash!
What If
One quite impressive ballad from the album, a strong effort from Miss. Tisdale. Lyrics and the fantastic melody quickly move from being just average to grow into quite lovely song with lot of potential. This isn't any Piano-ballad with Ashley singing softly and song (like the other ballad in the album) being rather predictable, it actually is quite a musical grow-up for her.
Crank it Up
Good bridge from her debut album to this record, Pop with urban influences. Fantastic song actually, definately digging this one! It makes me miss her previous album, how it never met the potential she could've get out from the music style of it.
Go and get the album when it comes out to hear the rest of this Pop/Rock Gem!

Madonna/Miles Away (Unreleased Video)
Posted on 6.6.09 at 4:18 AM.
Pretty interesting leak, Madonna's unreleased video for "Miles Away". Sources say this video was suppose to be airing when the single was released but while the song didn't make much impact in the charts, her label thought a live video wouldn't make much diffirence and they scrapped it. So, basically the rumours about live-video were true and there was a video all along. Too bad the song flopped that hard and even without any video. The video is not that bad for a live video, but it's a bit boring. This is said to be included on the upcoming live DVD release, but who knows.
Right now we are excited for her upcoming video/single for GH.

Britney Spears/Circus (Full Intro)
Posted on 5.6.09 at 9:38 PM.
Here's the full intro from the Britney Spears "Circus" Tour. Good to see the two seconds of Britney there while the skank Perez dominated the video. Too bad the sound is bit off. She has already performed twice on her UK Tour and previewed the current changes of slightly remixed songs, new outfits but yet there is no new songs, as it was rumoured. Sources claim there will be another song or two added to the tour soon, but it's still unconfirmed.
And remember to look for the review of ours, when VipMedia Goes Live on 16th of July.
And by the way, There will be a Live DVD of "Circus".

Kelly Clarkson/Already Gone (Live)
Posted on at 5:14 PM.
Here is a video of Kelly Clarkson performing her next hit "Already Gone" in Australian Nova 69.9 Radio studios. People should make a three minute break from their shallow lives and watch this video and appreciate her real, raw talent instead of critizing her of her weight gaining. "Already Gone" is breathtaking track as a studio version and it's still heartbreaking with gorgeous live vocals. Wow Kelly, just keep on doing what you do the best. Making us cry with your beautiful vocals and rocking out with catchiest up-tempo numbers. Kelly has hinted "If I Can't Have You" being the fourth single, and if it'll happen we must say this is her best round of singles yet. If we don't count that quite decent, underwhealming second single "I Do Not Hook Up" that could've stayed with Katy Perry so she could've had another hit.

Black Eyed Peas/I Gotta Feeling (Video)
Posted on at 4:30 PM.
Black Eyed peas and their new video for "I Gotta Feeling". After billion times trying to post this with youtube links that don't work, we finally found another good link. The video itself is all about having good time and party. Fergie looks pretty good with her new brunette hair, but it makes her little older, doesn't it? The song and the video are both good, nothing mind blowing but very entertaining. This song could be another huge hit for them, after "Boom Boom Pow" actually quite surprisingly jumped to the top spot of the charts and has continued domination of US Charts for nine weeks already! This is better song though, than the repeative "Boom Boom Pow".

Posted on 4.6.09 at 9:50 PM.
-The Saturdays have kicked off their first Tour. Already on a second date, Vanessa (in the middle of the picture) sprained her ancle on the way to the stage, so she performed the rest of the gig in a wheelchair from the half-way. Their setlist includes songs and hits from their first album, two new songs "One Shot" and "Wordshaker", rumoured first single from next album and cover versions of "Shut up & Drive", "So What" and "I kissed a Girl". Anyone who have seen the show, have loved it. Hopefully the girls will extend their succes to elsewhere and we'll be enjoying them soon outside UK too.-The Pussycat Dolls have released their "Hush Hush" video in itunes today, so make sure you download it from iTunes! Melody recently denied rumours of splitting up in a interview and said they'll keep on doing it as long as "the train keeps on moving". Nicole also denied the rumours and said how she's constantly recording new songs for herself and for the Dolls. Support the girls and download the song and request it from your local radio!
-Backstreet Boys have almost finnished their album and thei confirmed the title for the record being "This is Us". The first single should be premiered in June, with their new material being written by such names as Ne-Yo and Max Martin, and the album is set to be released in September.
-Whitney Houston's 7th studio album has been given an official release date of September 1st 2009. Iconic Houston will debut her first single in July or August with more details to be published soon.

David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland/ When Love takes Over (Video)
Posted on at 8:25 PM.
Will Kelly Rowland continue as a Dance artist? After huge dance-hit "Work" in 2007, she continues to move our hips with a collaboration with David Guetta called "When Love Takes Over" that is pretty awsome. Kelly is claimed to be considering to take this direction with her next album, so who knows? "When Love Takes Over" song and video are pretty usual as for this genre, but it works pretty well and Kelly looks absolutely stunning. Don't know if this will be a huge hit, but some kind of a hit for sure.
Opinions?

Live Performances/Queensberry & Jeanette
Posted on 2.6.09 at 11:01 PM.
Queensberry performing "Too Young" in Dome. Great routine for such Pop-gem, but such shame that they mimed it. Although the vocals are pretty hard for anyone. Remember to purcahase their new single and support the girls and make this their biggest hit to date that it is already becoming!
Another german star, Jeanette performing her new single "Material Boy" in Dome but she performed it live to a backing track. Somewhere in second verse it sounds like she messes up with this shorter live edit. Too bad that they torned this song into pieces with this very short edit, it's fantastic song.

VipMedia´s Best Unreleased Singles/ Part 2
Posted on at 5:51 PM.
We continue finally our list of Best Unreleased singles with Pussycat Dolls that have continued milking their second album to extreme as they did with their debut. While it looks like "Hush Hush" is probably the last single from the album, we are crying over one potential hit left unreleased since day one. The Tour version with Melody's vocals, fantastic theme on the tour and the immediately catchy melody is nice combination with "Magic". It's Timbaland's sure-fire work that would totally kill the clubs and radio charts worldwide. Unfortunately it will remain as one of their best unreleased singles.Download the Song!
Girls Aloud have released fantastic, pretty much right singles so far but they've left fantastic songs unreleased too. After three singles released from "Tangled Up", they continued to the tour and didn't release 4th single from the album. "Girl Overboard" is one jumpin' hot club-track that is great mixture of "Something Kinda Oooh" and "Unotouchable", throwing in fantastic chorus that will be stuck in your head for hours. The video for it could've been one of their best too! To left this awsome potential hit unreleased is truly a shame.Download the Song!
A-Teens was one of the best Pop-groups of 2000-century and they had good share of hits charting all over the world. Four swedish kids first formed a group to perform cover versions of ABBA hits and then continued to their orginal material. One of their best songs, "Closer to Perfection" was never materialized as a single, although it had obvious potential. Rumours are that it was planned to be released at some point, but we'll never know the truth now. This Pop-gem has electric edge and absolutely beautiful chorus. Don't skip this one, if you haven't heard it yet. If only this would've been released, what a true Pop-hit!Download the Song!
Britney's "Blackout" was pretty much her best album. After the biggest hype around her new album "Circus" has gone away, we can safely say that "Blackout" is her best record, edgy and full of hits. Mixture of electric pop, R&B influenced bangers and unforgettable melodies. One of the best songs on the album, "Toy Soldier" was such strong effort that it shortly became fan-favourite of the album to be released at any point. Unfortunately only three official singles and one Promo single was released with Britney being unable to promote the record in any way. And this song was unfortunate to be left unreleased. One of the biggest mistakes of her career. But then again, it's an album full of single-choises and half of the plans were scrapped due her mental state. Unfortunately.Download The Song!
End of Part 2. There is still more to come...

Monrose - Medley At Opening VIVA Comet 2009
Posted on at 12:23 AM.
Here is Germany's biggest girlgroup Monrose performing Medley of biggest female-hits at VIVA Comet 2009 awards. The girls took the stage first as solo's performing "I kissed a girl" by Katy Perry, "Just dance" by Lady Gaga, "If I were a boy" by Beyonce and continued climbing together on main stage performing bits of "So what" by P!nk. Refreshing nice medley they did there for the award show, nice to see them on stage again, even if they didn't have their new single to premiere just yet. The girls obviously mimed the performance but it was all good and pretty usual for German TV-performances.
Monrose are recording their 4th album and releasing their first single possibly in early fall.
