Singer Keri Hilson has urged music lovers to forgive rapper Kanye West after all the drama he caused at this year’s Video Music Awards
Posted in Kanye West, Keri Hilson, Music, Music Award on the September 30, 2009
Singer Keri Hilson has urged music lovers to forgive rapper Kanye West after all the drama he caused at this year’s Video Music Awards.
Kanye ruined country singer Taylor Swift’s, 19, acceptance speech at the MTV awards by taking the microphone off her and saying she didn’t deserve to win, but Keri wants everyone to forgive him.
Hilson, 26, who is hosting the upcoming MOBO Awards, told British newspaper the Daily Star: “Kanye’s a very confident man but not arrogant. He’s just very open and honest.
“People aren’t used to seeing such an unguarded artist. I admire the hell out of how gutsy he is.”
Keri now wants people to forgive him as we should appreciate his honesty.
She added: “The world isn’t used to hearing what an artist really feels about himself or to other people’s music.”

Beyonce has denied she is not attending MOBO awards in Glasgow because city is
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Music Award, Music People on the September 29, 2009
Singer Beyonce has denied reports she is not attending the upcoming MOBO awards in Glasgow, Scotland because the city is “too white”.
Beyonce, 28, is nominated for an award at the bash but will not be attending the ceremony to pick up the gong.
After performing for cancer patients at a hospital in Singapore, the singer was asked about the rumours and she said: “That’s just not true.”
Former MOBO panelist Paul McKenzie said: “The real problem is getting the stars to go to Glasgow. I can understand why the MOBOs went to Glasgow - because they were having problems getting the council to foot the bill for security. But it doesn’t work.”
Beyonce’s team are insisting that the star was just not able to attend the bash.
An insider said: “The slur about Glasgow is just not true. Beyonce knows exactly where it is.
“I think you’ll find that Beyonce is not the type of person to be impressed by the idea that she would snub one city over the other. Glasgow was good enough for her when she toured the UK. She thought the audience were wonderful.”

Britney Spears set for MTV comeback
Posted in Britney Spears, MTV, MTV VMA, Music, Music Award on the July 2, 2008
Britney Spears is looking back to her old self and it seems the people who matter are taking notice.
Bosses at MTV could be set to ask her to return to September’s Video Music Awards (VMAs) despite her disastrous performance just 12 months ago.
She gave a dreadful and out of time rendition of single Gimme More at the bash in Las Vegas. She was later spotted crying backstage.
So could Brit be set for her second “comeback” in as many years?
MTV president Van Toffler revealed: “Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?”
Let’s hope Britney gets it right this time. Otherwise she might not get that third and final strike before she’s down and out.
MTV Goes Hollywood
Posted in MTV, Music, Music Award on the June 27, 2008
The MTV Video Music Awards are usually held in New York City. They changed it up last year when they held it in Las Vegas and this year, they’re going to Hollywood. The ceremony, which will mark its 25th anniversary, will air on September 7. They will be presenting awards from sound stages, city streets and even rooftops. President of MTV Networks Music Group, Van Toffler said in a statement “With Paramount Pictures as the ideal setting, the glamour and musical heritage of L.A. are sure to be catalysts for creating explosive pop culture moments that the VMAs are known for.â€
Rihanna at MuchMusic Awards
Posted in MuchMusic, Music Award, R&B, Rihanna, Video on the June 20, 2008
A dateless Rihanna, or at least looking dateless, sizzled on the red carpet at the 2008 MuchMusic Video Awards which was held at the Chum/City Building on Sunday in Toronto, Canada. The 20-year old R&B singer was awarded the first trophy of the night, Best International Video for her single ‘Don’t Stop the Music’. The Barbadian babe also won an MMVA for the MuchMusic.com Most Watched Video award for her smash hit ‘Umbrella’. Rihanna won both awards that she was nominated for. Congratulations! Now where exactly was your boyfriend when you were off cleaning house at awards shows? Where’s the support?
Amy Winehouse Still Sick
Posted in Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Music, Music Award on the May 6, 2008
Amy Winehouse is still a mess and everyone around her knows it. The British pop wreck’s collaborator on ‘Back to Black’, Mark Ronson, was set to work with her for the theme song to the new James Bond flick but it didn’t pan out. Mark said “We did work on it but we never finished it. I don’t think it will happen unless by some miracle it gets recorded and someone sings on it. I’m not sure Amy is ready to work on music yet.†Wino’s rep released a politically correct statement about Mark’s comment saying “Mark presented a track to Amy, but she had other ideas about the direction it should take. We’re sure they will continue to make great music together.†I’m sure they will unless Wino ends up dead soon.
Rihanna at Brit Awards
Posted in Music Award, Performance, Rihanna, Song on the February 23, 2008
Rihanna kept it young and fresh in a shiny silver Dolce & Gabbana dress at the 2008 Brit Awards which was held at Earls Court in London on Wednesday. I’m still not that much into her choice of clothes for the red carpet but at the very least, this is better than the last couple of red carpet looks she’s had.
The Barbados singer performed on the show by teaming up with an unlikely partner in the form of British band Klaxons. They teamed up for a mash-up of her hit song ‘Umbrella’ and their song ‘Golden Skans’. With the number of ‘Umbrella’ renditions, she has to make hers different every time.
Natalie Says Amy Winehouse Shouldn’t Have Won
Posted in Amy Winehouse, Grammy Awards, Music Award, Natalie Cole, Song on the February 12, 2008
All I can say is, Natalie, honey, you better stay the heck away from London. Otherwise, Amy might go crazy on you.
Natalie Cole is speaking out against what she calls “rewarding bad behavior.” The singer says Amy Winehouse should never have been awarded five Grammy awards, especially for Song of the Year. She said, “I don’t think she should have won. I think it sends a bad message to our young people who are trying to get into this business, the ones who are trying to do it right and trying to keep themselves together.”
Natalie says she lost five years of her life to substance abuse and she feels for Amy. “I mean, she could die. This is about discipline and hard work, and you don’t get to just do your drugs and go onstage and get rewarded.”
Vanessa Paradis’ NRJ Performance
Posted in Music Award, Performance on the January 31, 2008
Johnny Depp’s wife, singer Vanessa Paradis, performed at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards which was held last Saturday in Cannes, France. And when I say performed, I mean she sucked big time. Not only did she totally lip synched her song but she pretty much did like Britney Spears on her VMA performance. Vanessa meandered around the stage so lethargically that it can pretty much put anyone to sleep.
This should serve as a lesson to anyone to not do drugs before any performance. I don’t care what anyone says. You don’t act like that unless you happen to be on drugs.
Rihanna’s NRJ Awards Performance
Posted in Hit Song, Music Award, Music Festivals, Music People, Rihanna on the January 29, 2008
Rihanna performed her latest hit song ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards where she also picked up the award for International Song of the Year. The Barbados babe worked her magic in fluorescent tank tops and plaid skinny jeans. There’s also some amazing choreography from a bunch of break dancers. Now that is how you bring down the house and bring it down rocking. Everyone knows that 2007 was Rihanna’s year but it looks like 2008 is still going to be going to her. There’s absolutely no beating her – not even by Janet Jackson. Rihanna is queen!
The Honorable Alicia Keys
Posted in Alicia Keys, Grammy Awards, Music Award, Music Review, News on the January 16, 2008
Alicia Keys looked magical in magenta when she walked the red carpet at the 2008 BET Honors at the Warner Theatre on Saturday night in Washington DC. The 27-year old, 9-time Grammy Award winning singer took home the Entertainment Award for her achievements and contributions as a leader in the entertainment industry.
See, this is how you make a big splash in your field of work. Why can’t all the Britney’s, Paris’ and Lindsay’s of the world just be traded in for people like Alicia? The world will be a much better place. Congratulations Alicia! And thanks for being a good role model.
To Be Entertained by Rihanna
Posted in Divas, Music, Music Award, Music People, Music Review, News, Performance, Photography, Pop Music, Singers on the November 29, 2007
2007 can just be renamed as the ‘Year of Rihanna’ and further proof that is that the Barbados singer was named as one of the 25 Top Stars of 2007 for Entertainment Weekly’s ‘Entertainers of the Year’. Her appearance on the list came with an interview and here are some of her answers:
Celebrity fan she was most surprised by: “Celine Dion. I’ve been in Europe for maybe a couple weeks now, traveling and doing a lot of press and tour rehearsal. We’ve done, like, three TV shows at the same time. And every time she sees me, she’s always singing one of my songs. I just love her! She is a legend. And if she only knew how starstruck I was meeting her.”
The career she’d most like to have besides her own: “Kate Moss. She just looks like she has a fun job. I know it’s hard work, but she’s a very successful model. I would like to try something different instead of just singing. If I had to spend a day in the life of another career, it would be hers.”
Jonas Brother Takes a Spill
Posted in American Music Awards, Jonas Brothers, Music, Music Award, Music Bands, Music People, Music Review, Performance, Photography, Pop Music, Rock on the November 25, 2007
It’s not much news anymore when a celebrity takes a fall on stage. But when that celebrity happens to be a big teen sensation and the performance aired for all the world to see, it’s big news again.
Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers took a spill when he and his brothers performed at the 2007 American Music Awards on Sunday at the Nokia Theatre in LA. He tripped over part of their set up and fell on some broken glass. Ouch! It looks like he even cut his hand on some of the shards and bled.
Joe made like a true performer though when he popped right back up and continued to sing.
Carrie Underwood and Keith to Tour
Posted in Carrie Underwood, Concert, Keith Urban, LOVE, Life Style, Music, Music Award, Music People, Performance, Photography, Pop Music, Rock, Rumor, Singers, Tickets Sale on the November 17, 2007
She’s snagged a couple of Country Music awards and a ‘Gossip Girl’ hottie in the form of Chace Crawford. It seems that Carrie Underwood is on a roll and now, she’s taking Keith Urban with her.
She has reportedly signed on for a 24-city tour with Keith Urban that’s set to kick off next year. The ‘Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Carnival Ride Tour’ is sure to make headlines as Keith and Carrie are two of the hottest things in country music right now. Tickets for their joint tour will go on sale come December 1.
I can already see country music fans lining up.
Rihanna’s Performance at WMA
Posted in Fashion, Music, Music Award, Performance, Photography, Pop Music, R&B, Rihanna, Singers, Song, TV Show, Top List, WMA on the November 7, 2007
Rihanna changed from her shining green dress on the red carpet to a very supportive strapless black dress complete with poofy polka skirt when she took the stage to perform at the 2007 World Music Award in Monte Carlo, Monaco on Sunday.
I’m sure that after her performance, the Barbados-born beauty took some time to thank the heavens that she did not have any wardrobe malfunctions. Although, I think that the likes of Prince Albert of Monaco was hoping for that as the principality was snapped taking a good look at what Rihanna had to offer.
On a different note, congratulations goes to Rihanna for picking up the award for World’s Best Selling Pop Female Artist.
Blackout Reviews
Posted in Britney Spears, Live Music, Music Award, Music Review, New LP, Photography, Pop Music, Records Sale, Singers, Song on the October 30, 2007
Even if you don’t listen to her album and just judge it by what she’s been doing over the time it was recorded and promoted, you all know the Britney Spears’ ‘Blackout’ album is pretty much the nail in the coffin of her career. The Wall Street Journal thinks so too when they did a review on her album.
They said “A phalanx of producers and backing vocalists exert more of an influence on a disc that’s not quite a mess but only occasionally rises above a muddle… as a vocalist, Ms. Spears sounds weary, snide and at times disconnected. On some songs, her voice seems grafted to the material as if an afterthought… At the bottom register, her voice is a throaty bleat… With Blackout, Ms. Spears fails to deliver a recording that will re-establish her as a dominant pop star rather than a 25-year-old woman who seems bent on self-destruction.”
Musicians and Actors Campaign for AIDS
Posted in Actors, Music, Music Award, Music People, Performance, Photography on the October 8, 2007
When you’ve got the world in the palm of your hand, do something good just like the three new celebrities who have joined the (PRODUCT) RED Gap Campaign. It’s a for-benefit brand that was designed to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
Actress Anne Hathaway, Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Wyclef Jean embracing his daughter Angelina, and Grammy Award winning artist John Legend with the African Children’s Choir are the three newest ads. A reintroduction of a series of images which debuted in the summer were also part of the campaign – actor Terrence Howard and his 3 children Hunter, Aubrey and Heaven, Dixie’ Chicks’ Natalie Maines with her sons Beckett and Slade and actress Abigail Breslin with her friend Curious George.
