Single Review - Jadakiss feat. Neyo


I quite liked Jadkiss's songs in the soundtracks of Honey and Step Up but I have to say without the input of Neyo in this song it would be very important. IMO rap songs need a great beat or something really special to be great without adding other vocals in. Neyo's part in the song is by far the best, he makes it a good listen. Good but not great. Also the video is very boring and it seems to be like very little effort was put into it. Man walking down a street = boring! So I'm slating the vid....but the single isnt bad.

Unknown Artist: Michaeline


OK you all know that every now and then we throw you a gooood singer to check out. Well this girl is fabulous. With Shakira not having success since 2006 and since JLo is taking a break after having a baby earlier this year this Latino singer is the only solution. She's mega-talented and could go far if she made her music a lil more mainstream and a lil less classic. However with a good beat and rythym teamed with her voice, she could have a big hit.
Check out her myspace below:

BTW: I first heard of her when a good friend of mine when to see her sing in The Palms Bar in LA in early October. Apparently she's actually better live!

The Hottest of the Hot

Its taken a while, but I've chosen the 4 hottest performances from this years EMA's. Notice Kanye West solo doesn't rise to expectations.

Jonas Mania




The Jonas brothers are taking over the world. Literally. Or at least millions of girls all around the world's hearts. For those of you who think David Archuleta fans are the craziest (they have been known to fix award nominations, follow him around and post spam on music websites) clearly have never met the Jonas bro's fans. Everytime I walk around the shops I here preteen and teenage girls fighting over who gets to marry Kevin....or Joe occasionally. (I have no idea what the third one's called as none of the seem to be his future wife). However, these girls might want to consider contenders such as Demi Lovato, Selina Gomez and Taylor Swift. I wonder in a battle who would win? The Archies or the Jonas's? But watching a video of two 16 year olds from Ireland, I reckon these girls would put up a good fight. Check it out its hilarious:
