It's really overwhelming to see a singer having a really good debut single. Lolene's new song from her debut album 'Electrick Hotel' is a sure fire hit...TRUST ME.
The song is really a great club banger and since it's my jam last summer...I'm expecting a good video for it,.and guess what..SHE DID IT!
The video starts off as Lolene acts as a cashier in a very white grocer until everything turns purple and black. The video is full of neon lights, girls inside the empty refrigerators, glitters. I know it sounded like what Lady GaGa usually do but Lolene puts her own touch...classy and sexy at the same time. Until it was later revealed that she was just daydreaming.
Geez! I don't know when is the last time I did the list, super busy. Well, this list consists of Christina Aguilera (uber love her album), Orange Caramel (see? Kpop-titis again) and Kylie Minogue..after days concentrating on her album...WOW! She did it again!
Top Artists: 1. Kylie Minogue 2. Christina Aguilera 3. B*witched 4. Orange Caramel 5. f(x)
Top Songs: 1. Aphrodite - Kylie Minogue
2. Bionic - Christina Aguilera 3. Magic Girl - Orange Caramel 4. Nu Abo - f(x) 5. Missing You - The Saturdays
1st..Christina Aguilera is set to be in the hit U.S. TV show 'Entourage' in their season finale as herself. AND EXPECT HER TO PERFORM THERE ALSO!
2nd..She snagged Anthony Mandler to be the director of the video of her new U.S. single 'You Lost Me'. Anthony previously worked with Rihanna, Drake, Jay-Z, Amerie and many more..PRETTY EXCITED.
Go Christina! Bionic era is NOT YET OVER! I know you can still do it!
We're going to step 2 years back 2008. 'Radar' was the song of the year for me. Scrapped single from her album 'Blackout' but mysteriously released as a single on her last album 'Circus'...weird. That only means that this song was really hot that it should be in Ms. Spears 2 studio albums!
This is def. my favorite Britney song. From the really hot chorus that other singer would kill to have. The hot beat! The really sexy refrain! And here, Britney actually sounded good even with autotune!
5/5
I can't post the video coz i think it was the most boring vid of her and i don't want to destroy my happiness with the song. For the video:
Last 25 was the 1st death anniversary of the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Besides the tributes and stuffs. The jackson family paid a visit to Michael's grave in Forest Lawn Cemetery.
I really can't believe that it's been a year since MJ passed away. And sometimes I think he's still alive just hiding somewhere...:(
After having Kpop fever last week (thanks to 'Bonamana') another kpop group called Orange Caramel made me kpop-itis with their song 'Magic Girl'. These girls are old members of another popular group After School.
This song is really Jpop sounding but it's a good thing since it's refreshing to hear korean people doing this. At first, I must admit, it's a bit annoying but after a few spins...I'm already addicted to it!
Kylie Minogue is back! Her whole new album 'Aphrodite' just leaked days ago and I keep on listening to it until I decided to put here my top 5 best songs from it (for me):
1. Aphrodite (5/5)
2. Illusion (4/5) 3. Cupid Boy (3.5/5) 4. Too Much (3.5/5) 5. Everything is Beautiful (3.5/5)
Sad to say but the whole album doesn't met with my high expectation for it. Maybe next time it'll grow for me...but as of now, 'X' is still her BEST for me.
Christina Aguilera just showed the cover for her 2nd U.S. single 'You Lost Me' from her 4th album 'Bionic'.
THIS PIC IS REALLY SAD. It's good like the song itself. Her eye is really pretty! Hope this single will help the album after the dissapointing chart performance.
Rihanna reign is showing no signs of letting up anytime soon. This is something her naysayers can scoff at, whilst her supporters continue to rejoice. Eminem’s new single, the Rihanna-assisted ‘Love the Way You Lie’ has soared to the top of the itunes sales chart in the US this week.
The digital download dominator has more cause to celebrate. Apparently, her 2007 smash ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ has topped the 3 million mark in paid downloads this week. It’s the singer’s third song as a lead artist to hit 3 million, following ‘Disturbia’ and ‘Umbrella’. The 22-year- old has also topped the 3 million mark as a featured artist on T.I.’s ‘Live Your Life’ and is the only artist with a grand total (combining lead and featured roles) of four 3-million sellers.
WOAH! I think people love Rihanna! And that's the most important. Keep it up RiRi!
One of my faves Brandy at her best. Right Here (Departed) was the carrier single from her 2008 album 'Human', also one of my favorite album.
The song was produced by Darkchild, the song's message is good, the beat is really great, her voice is just AMAZING and her trademark harmony thing is just out of this world!
5/5
The video for the song was good but nothing really spectacular about it and it kinda fell short compared to the song.
The most important moment of 2010 is here: The plastic princess of pop, Heidi Montag, has announced that she’ll be returning to the studio to record her sophomore album, due this Summer.
“Heading into the music studio recording my new single !” Tweeted Heidi. “Steve Morales my music producer moves into my house tomorrow to make my summer album !”
My fellow Heidiholics will know that Steve Morales was responsible for a portion of the production on Heidi’s stunning debut ‘ Superficial‘, including the title track, the raunchy “I’ll Do It”, “Look How I’m Doin’” and who can forget Heidi ’s mega-club smash “More is More”, which peaked at a lofty #27 on the Billboard club charts.
FINALLY! After wearing those ridiculously out-of-this-world stilletos, LADY GAGA FELL from the airport and it already circulated the internet. Ironically, she was wearing Xtina chaps! Karma?
My fave girl group EVER The Saturdays just released a sneak peak/teaser of the video of their latest single called 'Missing You' from their upcoming 3rd untitled album.
WHAT? 3rd album already?! Oh. I really wish they will release more singles from their 2nd album 'Wordshaker' since I love EVERY SINGLE song in it! But atleast they have a new song.
The song is kinda different from their previous album, 'Missing You' sounds like what everyone is releasing recently compared to the electro pop they had on 'Chasing Lights' and rock pop on 'Wordshaker' BUT it's not a bad thing! It sounds EPIC and based on the preview, the shouting part doesn't sound like Vanessa, I wonder who is it...
The teaser for the video also looks EPIC. They're freaking hot! Especially Frankie! I love the choreograhy! I'll stay tuned for that.
I WON'T GIVE MY VERDICT FIRST COZ' I HAVE NOT HEARD THE FULL SONG YET. :)
My fave Kristinia DeBarge debuts a new song called 'Bulletproof'. One word to describe...
PROMISING!
Well, this song was already climbing to my weekly top 5 list coz it's really a great one.
GOSH. She never fails to give me hot songs. 'Bulletproof' sounds a bit like her song 'Sabotage' from her (ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME) debut album 'Exposed'. The climax was hot! The beat was dope! Hope this will be a single. If not, I'm sure there are another great songs from her 2nd album.
Well, this song ain't new. It's actually a cut from their debut album '2NE1' released last 2008. But since it's one of my all-time kpop songs favorite, I would like to share it to you.
This song will actually sound good when translated in english and released in the U.S. since this song can compete with what chart-toppers sound there today. The beat is wicked! Love their voices. And they're pretty.
Besides Miley Cyrus, another pop tart performed at 2010 MMVM yesterday in Canada. Katy Perry performed a sweet 'California Gurls' her surprising #1 hit.
The performance was dull. But thanks to the extravagant candy land themed stage and the hyped fans. It became a fun performance!
New (and improved?) Miley Cyrus performed a rather breathy 'Can't Be Tamed' from her upcoming album or EP with the same name in the 2010 Much Music Video Awards held yesterday in Canada. The song debuted and peaked #8 in the U.S. and became a successful single in Canada.
The performance started of in an dance introduction. Everyone was wearing white ripped dress. The audience was a little bit DEAD. And then she entered from this thing and then she danced and breathed all the way through. The vocals were okay the dance was okay so it's a decent performance.
There are some changes in my list and Christina Aguilera is still in my list coz' I can't get enough of 'Bionic' but Super Junior's 'Bonamana' is the winner this week!
Artists: 1. Christina Aguilera 2. Super Junior 3. 2pm 4. Kristinia DeBarge 5. Katy Perry
Songs: 1. Bonamana - Super Junior
2. Bionic - Christina Aguilera 3. Bulletproof - Kristinia DeBarge 4. As Soon As (Maja) - 2pm 5. Stronger Than Ever - Christina Aguilera
Yes! You saw that right! Unfortunately...that's a bad thing.
Christina Aguilera's 4th LP 'Bionic' is set to fall like a rock down outside the top 20 in the U.K. charts after the debut #1. She is set to break the record in Biggest slip from #1 in the history of U.K. music. The last record was #1 to #18.
Phfew. I'm back, and because of that I shall give you a 'refreshing' song.
"Jump Down" is a song by Irish girl group B*Witched, released as their seventh and (to date) final single. This was the third release from their second album Awake and Breathe, on 20 March 2000.
I only heard the song last week and it grew on me! It has similar sound to another B*witched favorite 'Jesse Hold On' Enjoy!
We all know that Aguilera bombed the charts in the U.S. and topped the charts in the U.K. and entering top 5 in most countries...here's the update: in Korea.
Korean International Singles Chart : 04 (NE) Glam 19 (24) Not Myself Tonight 41 (NE) Bionic 48 (NE) Woohoo 57 (NE) Lift Me Up 70 (NE) You Lost Me 73 (NE) Prima Donna 76 (NE) Desnudate 78 (NE) Elastic Love 79 (NE) Sex For Breakfast 80 (NE) I Hate Boys 81 (NE) All I Need 84 (NE) My Girls 89 (NE) I Am 90 (NE) Vanity 99 (NE) Love & Glamour (Intro) 109 (NE) My Heart (Intro) 111 (NE) Morning Desert (Intro) Note - Christina has the most appearances on the Korean International Top 200 Singles chart by FAR. Korean Overall Singles Chart: 70 (NE) Glam (Outpeaking "NMT"'s #73 peak. ) 152 (198) Not Myself Tonight Just two entries in the overall chart. It shows how domestic Korea is too! Korean International Albums Chart (Mostly based on shipments): 01 (NE) Bionic (Deluxe Edition) 04 (NE) Bionic (Standard Edition) Korean Overall Album Chart (Mostly based on shipments): 06 (NE) Bionic (Deluxe Edition) 11 (NE) Bionic (Standard Edition) I'd consider Korea to be one of Xtina's top markets worldwide now.
Let's set aside first on the sales and let's watch her belting her way singing the U.S. national anthem on the NBA FINALS game 6 (Lakers V.S. Celtics).
She sounded good as usual but I felt that it's harder for her nowadays to reach the higher notes but she can still blow all of contemporaries out of the water with her voice.
Katy Perry just released the music video for her latest #1 hit 'California Gurls' featuring Snoop Dogg, the lead single for her upcoming 2nd album 'Teenage Dream' and lemme' tell you, it's very sugar coated sweet video!
At first, my impression to the song was...*blank stare*. And it sounded like 'TiK ToK' of Kesha. But the song is a grower. And it obviously grew on me by the time i'm writing this.
4/5
The video is plain fun! Walking gummy bears! Lollipops, ice creams! And other creamy and delicious thing! This video reminded me though of Fergie's 'Fergalicious' video. But anyways it's a very creative video and I don't want you to miss it!
Aguilera's latest effort 'Bionic' debuted at #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album charts this week with a dismal 118, 333 copies sold. The lowest EVER album debut in her decade-long career.
Oh well, that's how life goes. Every popular singer have had achieved atleast 1 downfall in their career. And I think sadly, it's Aguilera's downfall era.
Pretty disappointed with the sales coz' 'Bionic' is really a great album.
"Rumors" is a pop song recorded by Lindsay Lohan for her debut album, Speak. It was released as the album's first and lead single on September 21, 2004 (see 2004 in music) in the United States. Although it failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at #6 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. It was successful in countries such as Australia, where it peaked at #10 on the ARIA Charts, and Germany where it peaked at #14 on the Germany Singles Chart.
4.5/5
Production on the music video began on September 11, 2004 and MTV included the production of the video on its television series, Making the Video. Jake Nava was chosen to direct the video. Nava is known for directing music videos for Leona Lewis and Britney Spears. In the beginning of the video, Lohan is followed by paparazzi as she is entering her car. It is revealed that this is a Lindsay-look-alike and that the real Lohan is entering another car to go to a club. The car comes to a stop and she then steps into an elevator and sings the first verse of the song while she is filmed by a CCTV camera in the elevator. The next sequence shows her running through a hallway, dressed up, before getting into the club. There, she dances in the crowd, where she takes a picture of one of the paparazzi herself to get back at him. In the next sequence she is walking slowly through the club where she finds the man who seems to be her boyfriend. She takes a seat next to her lover and they begin kissing and touching each other, all the while being constantly filmed by cameras in the club. While Lohan sings the second chorus she is trapped in a cage in the middle of the club and the whole crowd is watching her. After this Lohan is shown dancing in the club with her friends. At the end of the music video Lohan and her friends enter the top of a high-rise and perform a dance routine while helicopters are circling around them. Finally Lohan gets into a helicopter and escapes. In the end she throws her camera away with all the pictures taken of her. The sexually suggestive video reached number one on MTV's Total Request Live and was nominated for Best Pop Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. There is an unedited version of the song which is about twelve seconds longer than the album version because it features a dance break. The edited version without the dance break was never officially released.
While Aguilera's debut in U.S. is not so good (#2 or #3 debut), she regained her throne in the U.K. charts! Debuting at #1 this week, this is her 2nd #1 album, the first which is 'Back To Basics', 'Stripped' debuted at #2 and 'Christina Aguilera' debuted at #14
Everybody thought Alicia Keys' 'The Element Of Freedom' would be #1 since she's in the U.K. now, heavy promotions..BUT Aguilera overtakes! With ZERO promotion!
'Bonamana' the new single from the album with the same name by Super Junior, a 12 or 11 man kpop group. They're pretty big in South Korea and other Asian countries.
The song is damn catchy! The beat sounds like you're in a 'fiesta', the harmony is quite good!,..just speechless. New favorite indeed!
5/5
The video is okay, superb dance moves, the look good, but the setting is pretty boring compared to the 'in' over-the-top settings kpop music videos these days. The dance break was HOT.
This is the week one of my weekly music countdown and expect Christina Aguilera songs here because I'm a Christina Aguilera die hard fan (Bionic album is really awesome!) and also there is Kpop song here because I'm Asian...what do you expect?!

"I Believe in You" is a dance-pop song performed by Australian singer Kylie Minogue and written by Minogue and Scissor Sisters members Jake Shears and Babydaddy. It was produced by Shears and Babydaddy, and received an overall positive reception from music critics when it was released as the first single from Minogue's second greatest hits compilation, Ultimate Kylie, in December 2004. In the upbeat eurodance song, Minogue describes how she believes in her lover rather than anything else. The single peaked at number two in the United Kingdom and at number six in Australia. The song became a dance club hit in the United States, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2005 and earning a nomination for a 2006 Grammy Award in the "Best Dance Recording" category.
The latest celebrity showdown involves Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Singer Katy Perry has spared no expense to criticize Lady Gaga’s latest music video ‘Alejandro’. She tweeted on the popular social networking and micro blogging site Twitter that, “Using blasphemy as entertainment is cheap.”
This tweet was apparently in reference to Lady Gaga’s latest music video, in which she is dressed up as a nun and is seen swallowing rosary beads. One of the probable reasons why Katy Perry got upset, was because her father is a pastor, and she had also indulged in contemporary Christian music prior to becoming famous.
It ought to be mentioned that there has been no response at all, from Lady Gaga or her representatives regarding the negative tweet.
Last time, I told you that i will keep you updated on how 'Bionic', 'Not Myself Tonight',and 'WooHoo' on the charts...so here it is!

Kylie Minogue delivered her first ever televised performance of “All the Lovers” today, live on the finale of Germany ’s Next Top Model.
The petite popstar was bathed in blue for the performance, clumsily making her way through a writhing orgy one minute and then looking totally like a totally glamorous Goddess the next.
In other news, it turns out that Kylie has high hopes for her new album Aphrodite, after NME asked the star if her album matched the standard set by Lady GaGa, to which Kylie replied: “ Oh God, I hope so! I love it! That’s a benchmark I’d be happy to be sitting next to. ”
Judging by the Aphrodite album sampler I ’d say Kylie has absolutely nothing to worry about.
