Christina Aguilera/Fighter (Live)
Posted on 30.5.10 at 10:48 PM.
Christina Aguilera's exclusive performance of "Fighter" for VH1 Storytellers show that will be aired on June 13th. This is all for the promotion of "Bionic", her upcoming album that will be out on June 8th. Here is another track, although not from her new album that is great promotion for her vocals. She performed the song well, with just right amount of shouting. The song was long though, so it looked like she lost some energy from her vocals later in the song, leaving the background vocalists to finnish most of the song. Too bad that she wasted the end of the song for shaking her head and jumping on stage. Because she has amazing voice. Anyway, it was nice performance and looking forward to see more and hopefully her hard work will pay off with "Bionic" and there won't be more backlashes than the nasty pushing back of the tour, the album leaking prior it's release and the first single flopping. Scary!

The Saturdays/Get all sexy in a video shoot!
Posted on at 9:39 PM.
The Saturdays have shot their new video for "Missing you" in spain and pictures from the steamy shoot have leaked. The video is set to include number of scenes, one of them shot on beach with fashionable dresses on their tanned bodies. The song title lets you expect for a ballad but sources say it's actually quite dancey one and perfect for summer. "Missing you" video also involves dancing, according to these pictures. The song itself is set to be released on August 9th and the video premiere date will be confirmed soon.These girls seem to upgrade their style with every album. Hopefully the song is great!

Lady Gaga/Dance in the Dark is the 4th single!
Posted on at 3:36 AM.
Ever since Lady Gaga released the "buzz singles" of "Alejandro" and "Dance in the Dark" to itunes, it's been almost sure that they will be singles at some point. It's been rumoured number of times and now it's been confirmed by Lady Gaga apparently. "Dance in the Dark", that showcases new edge on her music with 80's influenced, dark synths is a fine choice for a single. Some fans might be dissapointed over "Monster" not being released instead, but personally I think it would reflect more on the generally known Gaga-sound that has been heard well before. "Dance in the Dark" might be a risk, because it's really diffirent from other songs in the charts and it's not instantly irrestistible.Her current single, "Alejandro" is being released in US and europe physically on June 15th and in UK on June 28th. The video for it will be premiered in few days.

Miley Cyrus/Can't be Tamed (Live)
Posted on at 2:58 AM.
Miley Cyrus "rocking in Rio" with her new hit "Can't Be Tamed". It was great performance but this time her energy and outfit drove over the breathy vocals. Not vocally her best work. Something also tells me that her outfit will cause some controvercy in near future but she is definitely grown now. And she didn't look bad at all, but this new Pop image doesn't quite fit to her country-voice/roots and her Rock ways. Miley also performed set of other tracks like a cover of "I love rock'n Roll".

Eurovision song contest/Our favourite!
Posted on at 1:25 AM.
Eurovision song contest is over and Germany won it just minutes ago. Personally, this wasn't my favourite song or performance of the night at all. This year has been bit slow tempo path for me and I thought this year was rather dissapointing overall. Despite that, my favourite was Azerbaijan's Safura and her track "Drip Drop". I leave you now with this and for the rest of the performances, go to youtube yourself. Enjoy!

Inna/Amazing (New UK version)
Posted on at 12:07 AM.
Inna is re-releasing her single "Amazing" but this time the release is for UK. The song has been reduced to two minutes for the radio release and some new scenes for shot for the video release. The single is out in UK on 19th July and it will be served to radio stations very soon. This song is amazing but this new shorter cut isn't really appealing. I never understood why some of the artists release shortened versions of their singles for UK, since they have no policy against longer versions played. Anyway, the video is very summer-ish and beautiful and hopefully this will be big hit in UK.

Kelly Rowland/Commander (Urban Mix)
Posted on 29.5.10 at 11:31 PM.
New urban mix released for Kelly Rowland's "Commander". This version is to reflect her urban roots and the main version to represent her new sound. This version unfortunately features no re-recorded parts but it has rap from Nelly, who she reunited with. It's good for urban radios but nothing special really. Keep on listening to the main version.

Beyonce/Me, myself and I (Orginal Version)
Posted on at 11:25 PM.
Beyonce's rumours about number of unreleased clips leaking were true. First we recieved orginal version of "Halo" and now it's "Me, myself and I" featuring lots of new scenes. Negative sources claim this was leaked so Beyonce would get the attention back to herself now that she is in hiatus and Kelly Rowland is releasing new music. However the situation is, we get new stuff and it's all good. Hopefully there is more videos to be leaked, from other acts too. There is amazing number of videos that never saw the light of the day or scenes that never were released. Britney's people, release her unrelease clips/scenes, please!

VipMedia recommends/'Return of Alejandro" (Robin Skouteris Mashup)
Posted on at 5:37 PM.
This was rather intersting Mashup. Normally we don't put these on display but this deserved to be posted. It's a mashup between Lady Gaga's "Alejandro", Ace Of Base and Kalomira's "Please don't Break my heart" with a title "Return Of Alejandro" mixed by Robin Skouteris.
Robin has done amazing job with finding the right tracks for the song and mixing them together and actually making a valid point. 90's is currently making it's way on fashion but it seems that it's something we've come back to in music too. Lady Gaga has been making a diffirence musically too, releasing tracks that aren't something you've always consider as the most comercial sound but yet making a trend in some way. "Alejandro" will make it big with it's unique sound to what's "hot" in charts at the moment. And it looks like Kalomira, who's track I thought was little dated is actually quite "in" at the moment.
What do you think?

VipMedia presents/Singles Review
Posted on at 2:13 AM.
Robyn
"Dancing on my Own"
(Worldwide release June 14th)
Robyn is back with another melancholic electro anthem with heartbreaking lyrics performed with her soft vocals. She captures well her underground/alternative fans and her comercial pop fans, balancing in between musically. Robyn is well in charge with her music and this could be another success in her pocket. Single version features new sound, more alive electro clicks and the chorus kicks in more effectively. "Dancing on my Own" might just be on par with her previous heartbroken single "With every Heartbeat" with it's ability to grow into being catchy, potential chart hit. Only time and promotion will tell if she succeeds and if this is strong enough to make a diffirence.
8½/10
Rihanna
"Te Amo"
(Europe: June 11th)
Something that seems to be still very in, is playing with sexuality and to mess up the boundaries with that theme. When t.A.T.u made their lesbian image big little less than ten years ago, it was very controvercial and too fresh thing to be played with too much. Now it seems that stars like Kylie, Christina and Lady Gaga are pushing out the clear signals for gay community with their lyrics and provocative, playful music videos and RiRi is jumping on board. "Te Amo" was the first track from "Rated R" to leak, very early before it was even known that it would end up on her final tracklist. The fanbase has treasured the lyrics and the theme of the catchy mid-tempo treat and it's now finally being released.
In the track, she is gently dealing with a woman in love with her, breaking her heart with confessing that she doesn't feel the same way. Sad, beautiful lyrics reflect the pain, are sensual and interesting enough for this track to become something bigger in future. The melody itself is catchy, but the theme is what makes the song bigger than it is and it will probably be the final stamp on it to make it succesful. Controvercial but expectedly sexually charged video has been just released to make even bigger buzz around the project.
9-/10
Kylie
"All the Lovers"
(Digital release: June 13th, Physical: June 28th)
Kylie will be releasing a summer album and the first single "All the Lovers" is like a electro sun itself. Not that it's the brightest "star" on her sky at all. It's a mid-tempo song, a mixture of "The One" with lots of influences from "I Believe in you". As much of a grower "All the Lovers" is, hopefully her album offers diffirent kind of tracks too. This is slightly safe choice for a single, without being totally predictable hit. It has all of the elements that are needed from a Kylie-track but might not have the right sound or tempo to compete with handful of singles out at the same time. She should've released something fierce with high confidence level and get to the charts like a rocket. "All the Lovers" could be and probably is a sure Top 10 hit in UK but it's not her best material. At all.
7½/10
"Nobody Can change Me"
(TBA)
Nicole has premiere her first single and it doesn't have sexy lyrics with urban Timbaland-driven beats as you could imagine. This is very diffirent from what you'd expect from her but still slightly similar to her group's, The Pussycat Dolls "I Hate this Part" sound which could be quite comercial radio sound for US markets. But would this be a hit without her winning "Dancing with the Stars"? Probably not. "Whatever U Like", her orginal first single that was then changed to buzz-single when it flopped, was much better and could've been a huge hit. Nicole is one of these female stars that have amazing talents, she has fantastic vocal skills and she is professional dancer. But it's been her personality and image that has been putting people off.
This is cool track but I wouldn't count on it as a first single and it's not something I am excited about. "Doll Domination" and "Her name is Nicole" were very closely soundwise and both projects had some of the amazing tracks but this new one doesn't click that heavily. It's very dissapointing since at this point, it's make or break for her. To continue with multi-million selling girlgroup and still be in charge with all the vocals or to be alone on stage and not be succesful. I'll keep my eyes on this project, this will be interesting to see.

Miley Cyrus
"Can't be Tamed"
(Out now digitally!)
Miley is upgrading her music releases step by step. Miley wants to be unleashed from the cage and she shall be, since every second she gets less Disney and more like herself, she gets more fans and more mature. "Can't be Tamed" is lyrically fitted well to her current situation with media, where she is constantly ripped to pieces. But the most important part is the catchiness that is just so effective. "Can't be Tamed" and the future material from Miley will be a turnaround for her career, since just when she is on top musically, she is releasing her last pop record in awhile. This track has lots of fans and I'm one of them. Months ago I was still in denial with Miley, not completely backing up her but now it's safe to admit that she is getting better and better and this is the best comercial pop we have heard from Miley yet. Nothing too mature or deep, just catchy radio-friendly Pop-music.

Kelly Rowland isn't about to release "Commander", her current single produced by David Guetta in US. Instead, it will only be served to Europe and UK and as "international buzz single" but "Shake them Haters off" will be sent to US radios. This has caused lots of conversation amongst the fans, while most of them think this is a wrong choice for her first single. "Shake them Haters off" is radio-friendly but it's not as sharp, instant and radio-friendly as "Commander" is.Her US single will be released to radio stations on June 15th, while June 28th is the official date for "Commander"'s release in UK.

Backstreet Boys have left their label Jive Records. Or were they dropped after disaster that "This is us" was comercially. After fifteen years being on Jive, they posted a small message to their fans. "So the news is out! The Backstreet Boys are no longer signed to long time record label Jive Records. The amicable split is very exciting for the group. "This is the best thing, at the best time that could have ever happened for us”, says Brian Littrell. “We are confident in the future of our band, and are looking forward to the new things to come. 2011 is going to be a great year for us!”
Does this mean a new album already? They could release another one from the songs that didn't make it to the album, they sounded better than the released ones.

Rihanna/Te Amo (Video)
Posted on at 3:37 PM.
Rihanna and her very sexually charged video for "Te Amo". I'm actually quite surprised that despite that her album "Rated R" has been claimed to be comercial dissapointment, she is being pushed out with top notch videos with budget. Both new videos look edgy and gorgeous. This one was expectedly featured with lots of lesbian-influenced scenes with some soft porn involved. But all was done bit more tastefully than with Christina's video. Something still tells me that this will be heavily edited anyway.

Looks like this will be the first album I want to hear fully from Miley Cyrus. Here is the album sampler from every songs besides the title track. The album sounds consistent, well produced Pop album with lots of potential hits. It's not a deep, personal album with edgy stuff but who needs it anyway if you just perform quality Pop? I'm always so surprised to actually like Miley, she is proving us all wrong one by one. Weird.

Christina Aguilera/You lost Me (Live)
Posted on at 5:55 PM.
American Idol finale performance featuring Christina Aguilera. Finalists started the show out with her hits "Beautiful" and "Fighter", that Christina came on stage to finnish up before performing "You lost me". The song is a new ballad from "Bionic", very emotional and so was the performance. This wasn't a typical performance of Christina giving her all the vocal capabilities to thrown out on full force with screaming along with it, this was a classy ballad performed with beautiful notes and vocal tricks. The song is not as good as "Hurt" but it's stripped down version of it and it was smart for her to showcase her voice and show anyone who had doubts for her. Only flaw was probably her outfit that needed something more, but then again her vocals were the main focus.

Christina Aguilera/Bad news after bad news!
Posted on 25.5.10 at 11:28 PM.
Christina Aguilera isn't really that succesful this time around. First she gets destroyed in the media, then radios boycott her single, the single flops but now the tour has been postponed and her album leaked weeks before it's release date. It has been claimed that Aguilera’s summer tour has been moved to 2011 due to commitments for her film Burlesque and promotion of her new album "Bionic". Talking about her album, it leaked fully earlier today.Christina has said that she needs more time to reharse for the tour and it looks like this project takes alot to explode in a good way. It's all very dramatic and negative in X-Tina's world. While I'm shocked about this, I'll listen to her album and see how I react to it.

Here is the eyecatching brand new video for Rihanna's "Rockstar 101". This project has been interesting since it has caused no hype yet and it has all of the changes to either flop hard or rock hard. This video just might give it some extra boost because it looks cool! Really cool! Too bad there was no color used in the clip, it needed some small detail to make a diffirence but it's still gorgeous. I can understand though if anyone thought it was too sexy or too boring but I thought it was cool. Nothing outstanding but enjoyable, cool video.

On May 26th Christina Aguilera is set to perform at the finale of American Idol as part of her promotional work for "Bionic". While she'll perform her buzz-single "Woohoo" at the MTV Movie Awards in June reportedly, this time around she chose two diffirent tracks. Rumous suggest that she will climb on stage to perform both her first single "Not myself Tonight" and "Fighter", her older single from 2003. She is set to perform her single from "Stripped" with the finalist girls and her brand new single alone on stage.Also, sources say "Not myself Tonight" video was sent back to studios when the label recieved negative feedback from general public and the reworked, more clean video will be released soon. "Woohoo", her supposed second single isn't officially the next single but actually a promo single sent to Top 40/Rhythmic radio to promote the album, while some of the stations boycott "Not myself Tonight". Damn she is having hard time to make herself succesful this time!

Brand new, literally minutes ago premiered Nicole Scherzinger single "Nobody Can change Me". It's a mixture between "Baby Love" and "I Hate this Part" but still diffirent. It doesn't sound like a huge hit so she'll either makes it big with the help of the "Dancing with the Stars" show or she'll get another flop. I remember how "I Hate this Part" struggeled to become the hit it was and this isn't stronger. But she was right, it's empowering and very radio-friendly for US radio.

The artworks were creative but bit boring for me and the song sounded medicore copy of "With every Heartbeat" but the video changed my mind. The new shorter and more effective "Radio Edit" really kicks in quicker and brings the awaited upgrade to it. The video itself is absolutely beautiful, the best video she's done for ages! This is also the first time I actually like Robyn's style after 2002. You go girl! I love it!

Christina Aguilera/Bionic (Album preview)
Posted on 20.5.10 at 8:34 PM.
Christina Aguilera's "Bionic" clips were released to Amazon. The first half of the album sounds exactly like the electronic stuff she listens to herself with two clear hit-songs "Woohoo" and "Not myself Tonight". Only tracks from the first ten to really pop out. Next handful of songs following are ballads and midtempo treats for the fans of her vocals. But it's the final three songs from the disc one to finally catch the beats again and raise up the intrest. It's interesting that the songs that really lift the potential up are on Disc 2 or in the end of the first one. Apart from the favourites, I was bit dissapointed since this didn't sound like instant hit record but I guess that was her aim. She said that if something sounded like a huge hit from the beginning, she didn't want it on her album. Girl, that is exactly how this sounds like.
Judging from these clips, "Vanity", "Bobblehead", "Prima Donna", "Not myself Tonight", "Woohoo" and "My Girls" are something you'd wanna hear the rest of. "Vanity" is not Gaga-cover but it is the most Gaga-ish tracks from the whole set! You could totally picture her singing it but it's so damn good!

Sugababes/Name feud continues!
Posted on at 9:45 PM.
Members of Sugababes have begun a legal battle over ownership of the pop group's name after former member Mutya Buena applied to own the trademark. Buena, a founding member of the group, applied to the European Trademarks Authority in March 2009. Now the current line-up - Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen - have filed a notice of opposition, as have their record company, Island Records. Range has previously told the BBC that their record company owns the name.But when the last original member, Kiesha Buchanan, left last year, Buena commented: "It just means the Sugababes have ended." In a letter to the European Tradesmarks Authority, Universal's Island Records, said that because of the "similarity of the goods and services" provided by the applicant - Buena - "there is a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public". Buena is currently working on her second solo album, following the release of her debut Real Girl in 2007.
If her application is successful, it could mean that she will own the rights to use the Sugababes name on goods such as CDs, DVDs and books. The Sugababes line-up has changed several times since the original group was formed in 1998 by founding members Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan. Donaghy left in 2001, with Range replacing her. Buena left the band and was subsequently replaced by Berrabah. And last year, it was confirmed that the last original Sugababe, Buchanan, was leaving the group - she was then replaced by former Eurovision contestant Ewen.
Intersting. And this was supposed to be just a rumour?

Kalomira/Please don't Break my heart (Video)
Posted on at 9:19 PM.
Kalomira's new video for her new single "Please don't break my heart" has been released. The Greek beauty is featured in the most sweetest and cheapest scenes in the first few minutes but luckily it's all just beginning. She looks great but the video starts off too slowly. From the halfway Fatman Scoop raises the bar and as cheap the computer effects are, they do get sharper near the end and Kalomira shakes it up like never before. Cool track and fun video. As always, the budget isn't sky-high but she's a cutie!

Rihanna/Rockstar 101 (Preview)
Posted on at 8:54 PM.
Official preview of Rihanna's upcoming video for "Rockstar 101". Everyone seems to be raving about this clip but to be honest, the cheap wig and the studio scenes shown don't really impress me too much. Hopefully the rest of the video is good and it will not be half-arsed video for a dead pony that the single seems to be at the moment. It's a tough single but fantastic track! But I guess the fans want "Fire Bomb" and I understand it well, it should be released.

Miley Cyrus/Can't be Tamed (Live)
Posted on at 8:48 PM.
Miley Cyrus performing her latest single "Can't be tamed" on Dancing with the Stars. The performance was done to be like a live version of the music-video with theatralic dancers, cage and dancing. This isn't the easiest songs to perform live but she was very brave and wasn't actually that bad. She just should've had bigger background vocals behind her. Good job with dancing and singing at the same time and pulling this off. Not her best performance but good job anyway!

No Angels/Too Old (Live)
Posted on at 10:14 PM.
No Angels performing "Too Old" on acoustic set. The song is rumoured to be their 3rd single from their album "Welcome to the Dance" that was released last year. The performance was cool and vocally strong but as you see there is only three girls on stage.
The group has not split up but Nadja, the fourth member has been forced to leave out of the tour starting this week "due to health problems". It's either that she needs rest after the circus on her personal life or because they want to keep her out of the limelight for awhile. The drama on her life was that she was arrested "on suspicion of having had unprotected intercourse on several occasions in 2004 and 2006 without informing her partners that she is HIV-positive, allegedly infecting one partner with HIV. She was released from custody last month. Therefor, the group is forced to perform now as a trio.

It's a new challenge and it's exciting."There are so many great artists and most of them are women, but that's good - the more the merrier!" When asked if she had kept in touch with her old bandmates, she admitted: "Not really. But there are no hard feelings."

Posted on at 9:26 PM.
Nicole Scherzinger is back! Nicole isn't willing to give up the limelight to her fellow ex-Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, so she's pushing out her solo single too. It's called "Nobody Can Change Me" and according to Nicole, the song is an empowering, uplifting song. Also, sources say the single will be out coincidentally with Dancing with The Stars finale on May 25th, next tuesday and she's expected to climb on stage to perform the single - but this is only a rumour so far.So forget the useless rumours about "Cold". It's not a new single and it's not produced by David Guetta. Dave Aude confirmed that the song is his work.

Christina Aguilera/Responding to Gaga-news!
Posted on 17.5.10 at 10:10 PM.
Christina Aguilera is ending yet another bunch of Gaga-stuff that goes around her by writing a little note to the fans on her official site."Dear Fans,
I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention this morning. It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama-especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story…I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that.
There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.
This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.
“Can’t hold us down….”
With love,
C/X"
I hope the useless hating towards her stops and that she has something great to offer us on "Bionic".

Girls Aloud/Reunion in September?
Posted on at 12:31 AM.
Girls Aloud look set to make a comeback in September, according to member Nicola Roberts. Speculation surrounding whether the girls would reunite has surfaced recently after Nadine Coyle was said to be jealous of Cheryl Cole's solo success and her reputation as the 'nations sweetheart' on the X Factor. To add to the reports of a split, Nicola revealed she hasn't spoken to Coyle since last Autumn when they supported Coldplay on tour. However, the red head has now stated that the band are not splitting up, claiming they have scheduled a reunion for later this year.“We will be back but we are still free birds at the moment. Everyone says we’ll get back together in September. It will be good to spend time with them again, especially Cheryl as she’s been so busy lately so it’s hard to find time to see her,”
At the moment Cheryl is touring with Black eyed Peas while she's been busy recording new music in studio and Nadine Coyle hasn't released her debut album yet. So September might just be too early for them, right?

VipMedia's blast from the Past/Emma Bunton
Posted on 15.5.10 at 3:11 AM.
Emma Bunton's "Free Me" is now posted as our Blast from the past series. I've only loved this song for some years now, never really liked it back when it was released. I thought back then that it wasn't the best choise as her first single but I quite like the sensual feeling and the new fresh air she introduced people with this track. She shot this absolutely beautiful video in Rio de Janeiro back in 2003 and now looking at it, it's pretty sexy for our little Baby Spice! So gorgeous! It made it to #5 in the UK and even peaked one spot higher on U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charts. I quite love this video clip but do you remember it?

Finally a working link for Ke$ha's new video for "Your love is my Drug". I saw this video few days late after I saw all the negative comments about it after a minute seen, I didn't understand what were they from. I mean, she looks better than ever and the video does look bit boring but still there isn't anything wrong. After seeing the whole thing I must admit I thought the set was bit weird, her only drug wasn't definitely just love. Weird video but works for her style, but I like the song more. But points from looking actually really attractive in this video.

Remember to support this fantastic duo and this amazing track by buying it from itunes. It's worth of higher peak in the charts! Can't believe Kimberly's first solo track, even if it's not 100% her own has made it to Top 5 in UK and she's performing live. Quite accomplisment from a Pussycat Doll who never sung a single line from any of their songs.

German girlgroup Monrose and their new, very stylish video for "Like a Lady". From the backstage material, you could've pictured slightly diffirent video but it was pretty confusing ride all together. It features the girls in very geometric theme with lots of fashion, big makeup, long straight hair and trannies. Yes. Some crazy light action and Cheryl Cole-influenced army-setup. The clip is very fashion-forward so maybe it's all we need to know about, everything we need to understand. But the song is fantastic, hopefully it'll be summer-hit in Germany!

It's not yet a single though, they'll follow their #1 hit "Famous" with a pop/rock ballad called "Not the One" which you should also check out. "Trash" is catchiest piece of electro-pop you've heard in awhile.

Posted on at 6:00 PM.
Lindsay Lohan has opened her mouth after a new song "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" leaked and a snippet of "I Wanna be bad". Linds announced on twitter that she has plans to shoot a video for "Can't stop, Won't stop". "I don’t know who, but someone keeps leaking my tracks! I can assure everyone, it is NOT me.. so I’ve decided to do a music video rather than let my tracks just go to waste…. need some time to choose a director and such".Hopefully she'll choose another track since her 2007 single "Bossy" and her previously leaked track "Stuck" have been better, with more potential. Hopefully it'll just be viral music video and not actual first single from her 3rd album, since she needs promotion and to create hype around the project but also a very catchy first single which this track clearly isn't. As said before, it's beautiful album track but as a single it's a big no-no.
