Lady Gaga Live
Posted in Lady Gaga, Music, Performance on the May 22, 2009
Lady Gaga is an artist through and through. The ‘Poker Face’ singer insists that she will never lip synch in a performance no matter how difficult the song or dance routine. She said “I would never even think about it (lip synching). The whole point to me is, if you’re gonna be number one, you better really be fucking number one. If you’re gonna be on top, you better be able to do all those things, because it’s a real privilege to be able to make music everyday, and I get away with a lot…Andy Warhol says art is what you can get away with, and I get away with a lot with my music and my clothes, and I work really hard so I could truly be a real artist for all my fans. That’s really fucked up when you lip-synch.”
Joe Jonas has a Man Crush
Posted in Actors, Jonas Brothers, Music on the May 22, 2009
Joe Jonas has just been hailed as InStyle’s ‘HeartthrobJon’ in its June 2009 issue. The 19-year old Jonas Brothers member has become one of the biggest teen idols of this time. The singer said “It feels great when you’re on stage and girls are screaming for you. I become a different person.” When asked what he thought was sexy, Joe replied “I like Spanish music and the female singers. I can’t understand what they’re saying, but as a songwriter I get it.” When he was asked who his celebrity crush was, Joe said “Daniel Craig.” I wonder what his girlfriend, actress Camilla Belle, thinks about that.

Rapper Dies in LA Mall
Posted in Music, Rapper, T-Pain on the May 22, 2009
Atlanta-based rapper Dolla, aka Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot and killed at the Beverly Center shopping mall in Los Angeles this past Monday. The rapper was only 21 years old. Burton was waiting at the mall’s valet stand with a friend and fellow rapper DJ Shabbazz when he was shot in the head. He later died of his injuries at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. Witnesses reportedly saw a woman fire the shots and 2 suspects flee the scene in a Mercedes Benz SUV and a Nissan Altima. Police caught up with one of the suspects at LAX and promptly arrested him. Dolla was most known for his track ‘Who the Heck is That?’ featuring T-Pain and Tay Dizm. My condolences go out to Dolla’s family and friends.
American Idol Awards
Posted in American Idol, Music on the May 22, 2009
The American Idol season finale decided to go with a bit of comedy this year when they had the American Idol Awards. Awards were given out to Outstanding Male, Best Attitude and Outstanding Female. Outstanding Male was given to Nick Mitchell aka Norman Gentle. He performed his horrific comedy singing for laughs again. Outstanding Female was given to Tatiana del Torro. I was laughing so hard as everyone watched her being chased by security to get her to stop singing. Best Attitude was given to Katrina Darrell aka Bikini Girl. As she was performing ‘Vision of Love’, judge Kara DioGuardi came on stage to sing and make her look a fool! Biggest surprise there was when Kara ripped her dress open and showed off her bikini too! It was apparently a dare from producers who were donating money to Kara’s favorite charity after her strip.
Adam Lambert was Done a Favor
Posted in Adam Lambert, American Idol, Kris Allen, Music on the May 22, 2009
While most are calling Kris Allen’s win over Adam Lambert an American Idol upset and some are thinking that Kris was the right choice when it comes to the marketability, some are also saying that Adam was done a big favor by not being named the winner. For one thing, Adam won’t be stuck singing the song ‘No Boundaries’ for the next six months to a year. Considering that it was co-written by Kara DioGuardi, it’s a sucky song. It’s pretty much a given that Adam is going to get a record deal. The challenge now is for him to make a great album that not only has his stamp but is also marketable. It then comes to who’s going to last in the cut throat music industry.
