Mommy Mariah's New Music

True to the promises she made to her lambs Ms Touch My Body Carey is hard at work on her new album set for release in 2012! There is  a lot riding on this album for the mother of twins considering her "Memoirs" album struggled to make any impact commercially and is practically forgotten by now.

Adding to the expectations of this album is a statement by Mimi in a recent Jenny Craig interview in which she claim pregnancy made her voice stronger. I for one feel that there is truth to this statement if one listens to her second Christmas album which was simply a great piece of work which i must confess is still play all year round!

My advice would be to forget the past Mims (Memoirs was supposed to be a throwback to the Butterfly album) and just bring a true stonewinner of an album that only you, the Queen can deliver. Dont trý to compete with the 5 minute of relevance music produced by today's pop stars, just deliver real music with world class vocals. If Adele has taught as anything its that you can keep all your clothes on and still outsell the naked Rihanna's and Beyonce's. Stay dressed Mimi!!!

Beyonce 1 song away from finished album.

2011 is set to be another Beyonce year in music! The former Destiny's Child member is set to release her latest offering later this year and it will surely dominate every chart and award show thereafter! *vomits* Sia, the creative genius behind Christina Aguilera's 'Bound to You', was asked to contribute to the album but it appears that it wont happen this time as the album is one song away from completion and scheduling conflicts have prevented Sia from getting to the project in time. One thing is for sure I wont be rushing to the CD shop for a copy of this album, 3 albums down the line and Beyonce has not enticed me even a little to care for her music, although I would go to her concert much like I would go to Lollipop lounge. Similar concept no? Sex sells and nobody knows it more than B! I hope for Beyonces sake that the hype surrounding Lady Gaga has died down by the time this record is released, if not I foresee a chart battle and I kind of think the freakshow will win. Just saying

Destiny's Child Reunite!

Okay well the heading may be just a tad misleading! LOL. The multi-platinum group do not intend releasing new music anytime soon, although all 3 members are hard at work on their solo releases scheduled for later in 2011. The ladies did however reunite for a birthday lunch celebrating Kelly turning 30! The fact that they remain friends gives us just a little hope that the biggest selling girl group ever might reunite as a group some day soon!

Backstage at the Grammy Awards

Jay-Z's girls!

It is not often that you see these two stars get snapped together, but stranger things have happened. Here

Beyonce and Rihanna are posing  for a photo op at yesterday’s Gucci/Roc Nation Pre-Grammy party in Soho House, West Hollywood. The pair are closely 'connected' to Jay-Z and were there to offer their support for the Hip Hop mogul.

I find this picture interesting considering the rumours that claim Rihanna is having a fling on the side with Jigga. Beyonce is looking old as hell in this picture, and Riri needs to fire her hairstylist. Who knows guys, maybe we can expect a collaboration from these two in the near future, imagine that? the two screamers on one song! gosh our poor ears.

Trash vs Talent

So this is my very first post and folks it aint a happy one! I just saw an advert on television for the Grammy awards which will take place on the 14th of February, it is an evening for the crème de la crème of the music industry to get together, walk the red carpet and celebrate the chart and sales achievements for the past year! Simple enough. NOT! The process begins with members and record companies submitting entries, which are then screened for eligibility and category placement. The Academy's voting members, all involved in the creative and technical processes of recording, then participate in (1) the nominating process that determines the five finalists in each category; and (2) the final voting process which determines the GRAMMY winners.That said I feel the need to begin my tirade on why the most talented musician in the industry, with a career spanning more than 20 years, 18 #1 hits and the illustrious title of "best selling female recording artist of all time" has accumulated all of FIVE Grammy awards, while a certain thigh shaking screamer who honestly makes what I call ringtone music has about 15 awards. Clearly talent is no longer a consideration in determining winners and thus I have not watched the awards show since 2005! So imagine my surprise when I decided to peruse this years nominees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Long story short, the situation has actually worsened people. In the category for Album of the Year, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream has notched a nomination while The Element of Freedom by Alicia Keys gets snubbed??? SERIOUSLY!

Your thoughts?
