Lady Gaga – Born This Way – Released. #BornThisWayFriday

Lady Gaga has been promoting her new release, “Born This Way” to her Little Monsters through Twitter.  She has released the lyrics on Twitter to get her fans excited….

Twitter trends showed #bornthiswayfriday on top a couple of days ago and without a doubt, this new release will shoot up to the top of the charts.

The song was supposed to premiere on Sunday when she performs the song at the Grammy’s but of course, her fans mean a lot to her so she decided to release the single a couple days early.

Akon said that this surely will be a dance floor winner.

If you can’t wait until her performance at the Grammy’s on Sunday – - -

Googleoke? Get ready Karaoke fans… at least that’s what the website said.

The rollout probably will start in Brazil, as it already had… Visit Googleoke.com.br but I don’t really get it just yet. Cause when you play the links, it’s a .wav file with words.. but I don’t know how you would call this karaoke. I was expecting an accompaniment of popular songs. The only song I can recognize from that site is Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. But even that didn’t have much to it but the background music and a garbled translation of the lyrics.

So, why is this trending on Twitter in Rio, Brazil? I have no idea. I am not even sure if this site is related to Google.com…

Here’s one of the links… Lady Gaga’s Poker Face.

Charice and Unique Zayas – Wherever You Are Full Version (VIDEO)

Unique Zayas, and R&B singer is releasing his first first single “Wherever You Are” from his debut album, “From Brooklyn to You” featuring Filipina Youtube Sensation Charice.

Here’s the sneak peek of the single.

Britney Spears’ HIAM (#Hold It Against Me) Release is # 1 on iTunes Charts after 7 Hours

What can we say. She’s definitely a great talent and one who can bounce back after her turbulent years. Britney Spears is back and with a vengeance.

After her appearance on the popular TV show Glee, younger people are more in tune with her music and really adore the pop princess.

On Twitter, HIAM or #holditagainstme is trending.

What do you think? Watch the video below:

And NO, There will be no Justin Bieber-Themed Glee Episode.

Ryan Murphy denied rumors that they will have an episode dedicated to Justin Bieber.

He has said in a statement to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton that:

“Glee is not doing a Justin Bieber tribute episode. We are not doing any more of those this season

“Those are reserved for artists with a big catalog, a la Madonna and Britney, etc.”

He did confirm however that they will have a Justin Bieber song in an upcoming episode but that’s about it.

“We are doing an episode where Sam sings a JB song to win Quinn back, and copies his hairstyle. But it’s a small part of a big episode that has a lot of other things going on.”

So, JB haters – - relax.  And JB lovers – - so sorry.

Is releasing a racy video going to shock Enrique Iglesia’s fans? Not just racy.. how about an orgy?

The most recent music video released by hunk Enrique Iglesias is raising some questions regarding how his fans are going to receive it.

He’s been quiet for quite some time and maybe the controversy raised by the music video will put him back on the spotlight again. There is a censored version and uncensored version of the video. Honestly, I don’t really care. The song, Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You) is upbeat, has a great beat and would be a great dance music. Don’t be surprised if you start hearing it at gay clubs any time soon! The actual lyrics of the uncensored song is not “Lovin’ You” in case you wanna know.. It’s Tonight I’m F**** You

Why didn’t I know about this show. Sing-Off Season 2 just knocked my socks off!

This is an amazing show.  If you’re a Gleek, I know how much you’re looking forward to the Regionals.  We’ve seen the Sectionals – - so for the meantime, you can probably satisfy your appetite for singing choruses by watching Sing-Off.  I never even noticed Season 1 but now that I know it’s on, I’m going to have my DVR record every show on Wednesday nights…

Have you seen the groups performing on Sing-Off?  They are incredible.  Tonight’s songs featured Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are”, “Hey Soul Sister” by Train and other super hits all in acapella.  It’s like watching Glee competitiona live.. LOL!

If you haven’t seen it – - I invite you to watch the show.  Hosted by Nick Lachey, this show is about to get hotter.  Wednesdays at 8/7 on NBC.

Have you ever heard of the Cascio Family from New Jersey? Michael Jackson’s second family?

This is the surprise I get whenever I watch Oprah.  I have been sick the past couple of days and I have not been able to watch my recorded shows.  I just watched the Oprah Show from yesterday and it featured a family from New Jersey (Hellooooo!!!) whom Michael Jackson visited for over 25 years.  He spent holidays there, spent his spare time there and even recorded music down their basement!

Can you friggin believe this?  I was shocked!  When they showed footage of Michael Jackson in their home and showed photographs from their home, I was like – - no way!  How could this family have kept this a secret for 25 years?!

Backstreet Boys – CD Sales are on fire! Thanks to Oprah

I have been watching Oprah non-stop these days. My DVR is set and every night, I pour a glass of wine and watch my favorite shows – and one of them? Oprah’s Farewell Season.

Tonight, I watched Teen Idols and let me tell you. I couldn’t remember how much I loved Backstreet Boys until they appeared on Oprah and sang “I Want It That Way”. They all looked great! First time that they were all together again — just for Oprah’s 25th Year – The Farewell Season. They all still look HOT as ever!!

Mark and Brian Show Now Offers Live Listening over the Web

The Mark & Brian Show is an American radio talk show hosted by Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps, known on the air as “Mark & Brian.” The syndicated program originates weekday mornings from KLOS-FM in Los Angeles, California, and blends comedy sketches, listener phone calls, interviews with in-studio guests, and the occasional road trip.

In 1985, Thompson was working as a disc jockey when he was introduced to Phelps, whose background was in improvisational comedy. Their first joint on-air appearance was on WAPI-FM (I-95) in Birmingham, Alabama. An offer to move west and take over the morning slot at KLOS culminated in the premiere of The Mark & Brian Show in September 1987.

Mark & Brian are two-time winners of the Billboard Magazine “Air Personalities of the Year” award, and received a 1991 National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award as “Air Personalities of the Year.” They have also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Charice made it to Billboard.com’s “21 Under 21″ List

Okay detractors!  What do you have to say about this one now?  Charice just made it to Billboard.com’s “21 Under 21” list together with Taylor Swift (taking the top spot), Justin Bieber (2nd place) – - coming at NUMBER 4 is Charice who recently made her debut on “Glee” as the meek and shy Filipino exchange student, Sunshine Corazon.  Charice even beat Miley Cyrus…  Ha!

So, to those who did not believe and to those who did – Charice is well on her way.  Let’s wish her well and all I can say is… GO GO GO!!

Charice’s Listen Version on Glee TOPS Glee Albums on iTunes

She’s been compared to Whitney Houston and Celine Dion.  She’s the hottest pop star right now.  Is Charice’s version of Listen going to be the “I’ll Always Love You” by Whitney Houston?

The original artist who sang and wrote I’ll Always Love You is Dolly Parton released in 1973 but when Whitney Houston sang a remake of the song in 1992, it became one of the best-selling singles of all time.

As you can see, Listen was originally sang by Beyonce but the song hit number 1 on iTunes Glee Albums and Telephone by Charice and Lea Michele is on number 3.

Is Charice poised to be the next Whitney Houston?

Oprah’s farewell song… autotuned by Jonathan Mann

I love Oprah. I have always loved watching her, I even bought the complete DVD set for her 20-year anniversary. When talks of her ending her show after 25 years, I was okay with it. After all, she’s done well and she might as well leave while she’s on top right?

The opening for her farewell surprised her guests with a trip to Australia and her announcement was a total surprise. Well, that announcement has been “autotuned” and it’s really really cool!

Do you want to hear it? Listen up and watch the video…

Who do you think is going to win America’s Got Talent? Poppycock? Fighting Gravity?

I was watching the America’s Got Talent Finale last night and I was unsure about Fighting Gravity’s Finale performance. To me, it was just blah. It wasn’t as exciting as their previous performances. Although the appearing and disappearing doors were cool, the performance itself wasn’t so impressive.

On the other hand, Poppycock’s performance of Nessun Dorma was almost magical until Piers Morgan hit the buzzer as Poppycock was completing his piece. What was that all about? Good for Sharon Osbourne for scolding Piers because she was right… this is the finale and America HAS the SAY and not the judges.

Michale Grimm’s performance? Well, it was good but he simply sounded like Michael Bolton. Not a Vegas Show I would like to see. He is very cute though and I love his smile. And Jackie Evancho? Very good but again, not a Vegas Show I would like to see. Unless you do? Do you?

Take a look at the videos below:

The universal language of Music – Paru-Parong Bukid

I had shared this on Facebook when I first saw the North Missouri State University American Chorale singing Paru-Parong Bukid and I was totally flattered and entertained.  It’s so nice how music can be translated using gestures and voice tones.  You could really tell how jolly the song is by the chorale’s actions and it’s just wonderful to watch.

Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses leaves stage at Irish show after bottles and ‘unknown substances’ were thrown at him

Come on people. This is quite unfair for the artists who come to perform and get abused by people throwing bottles and the like to the performers.

If you remember, last month Tila Tequila suffered the same fate and resulted in cuts on her face after bottles were thrown from the crowd to the stage.

If I was a performer, I would be terrified. What if the security wasn’t enough to control the maddening crowd? What then?

(VIDEO) Justin Bieber gets hit in the head with a water bottle thrown from the audience.

How did video not ever come out until nine months later is beyond me. I thought the world was BIEBERFIED during the last year but apparently not.

The pop-senstation Justin Bieber was hit with a water bottle in the head and said nothing but, “That didn’t feel good.” and went on to continue without any fuss.

Guess what? He’s the new endorser for the ever-popular-infomercial for acne prevention ProActiv. Cash just keeps rolling in doesn’t it?

Mahal Ko Kayong Lahat – Justin Bieber utters on video to thank Pinoy Fans

I am unsure why there are Charice vs Justin Bieber clash going on.  Was it because Charice sang Baby on Youtube and Bieber fans were annoyed?  Or is it because they want to prove who’s better?

Regardless, the collaboration between Charice and Justin Bieber couldn’t be more successful.  Both pop sensations have a great future ahead of them and I think we should support them as much as we can.  Both Charice and Justin Bieber are Youtube wonders and they should be respected like the true artists that they are.

Most recently, Justin Bieber went on Youtube to thank his Filipino fans.

I think it’s very cute. Watch the video below:

Nothing’s ever dull with Lady Gaga – Racy Rolling Stone Cover

If you can milk your fame… MILK IT.

That seems to be Lady Gaga’s purpose.  She still doesn’t know whether she’s going to last in the industry like Madonna has so she has to continue to re-invent herself.

I am afraid though that over exposure might get people tired of her easily than they would like to.

The new Rolling Stone cover is deemed racy.  No?

Charice is officially a cast on GLEE for next season – Charice Tweets.

Well folks! Rumor no longer! Charice auditioned for GLEE and she got in! She tweeted via Twitter that she is officially a part of the cast next season!! Woohoo!

Charice – the great imitator. Imitates Rhianna, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga (VIDEO)

Photo Credit: Charicemania.com

Charice is one piece of work. Did you know that during an interview with New York’s Z100 Radio Station, Charice was asked to show her talent in imitating other artists such as Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Rhianna and Britney Spears? She did great on most of them but I didn’t think she did a good Lady Gaga impersonation. Overall, the radio station jockey was impressed together with the audience inside the studio.

What do you think? Do you think Charice made a good impersonation of the artists mentioned above?
