Miley Cyrus Pole Dances Teen Choice
Posted in Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana, Performance, Teen Choice Awards on the August 14, 2009
Miley Cyrus dances around a pole on top of an ice cream cart while she performed her new hit song ‘Party in the USA’ at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards which were held at the Gibson Amphitheatre this past Sunday in Universal City, California. The 16-year old Disney star picked up 6 awards for Comedy TV Actress, Comedy TV show for ‘Hannah Montana’, Music/Dance Movie Actress, Hissy Fit for the ‘Hannah Montana’ movie, Music Single for ‘The Climb’ and summer song for ‘Before the Storm’. Miley also presented the Ultimate Choice Award to Britney Spears who epically snubbed her. Ha!
Amy Winehouse makes impression on St. Lucia authorities
Posted in Amy Winehouse, Performance on the June 18, 2009
The troubled singer has recently received a very interesting description for the Governor of St. Lucia. This is what Jeff Fedee said about Amy Winehouse in St. Lucia Star newspaper: “I would strongly urge she be denied residency status to purchase property in St. Lucia. Is she being given special treatment? She’d be a menace and a dangerous influence to our society because the demons that inhabit her tortured body will have to be fed. Are the authorities going to ignore the indulgences in illegal substances for which St. Lucians are arrested and incarcerated. I predict the relative peace and tranquility we enjoy will desert us and untold misery and disasters will visit us. Do not let that tattooed reptile become a resident of St. Lucia. We cannot put our future in jeopardy for the sake of selling a house to a character that will draw to St. Lucia untold human suffering.” Ok, Amy Winehouse is not the happiest of campers… true, she can pretty much burn the whole camp down, but she’s not going to sodomize the woodland creatures or impale the other campers. It looks like she made an impression on the authorities in St. Lucia.
Beyonce duets with George Michael
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Duet, George Michael, Performance on the June 11, 2009
Beyonce fans were shocked when George Michael appeared on stage with the star to sing a duet.
The former Wham! singer joined Beyonce in singing If I were A Boy at London’s O2 Arena.
The Daily Mirror reported that the Crazy in Love star wore a police uniform during the performance - just like the sort Michael wore in his outrageous video for Outside.
The paper reported that after the show she had blackened cod delivered to her dressing room, while Michael went to Nobu in London for supper.

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.”
Jay-Z Crashes the Stage
Posted in JAY-Z, Performance on the January 26, 2009
Everyone hates a stage crasher but when said stage crasher happens to be one of the greatest rappers alive, you welcome him with open arms. During Young Jeezy’s performance last weekend at LOVE Nightclub in DC, Jay-Z grabbed a mic and rapped a few of the scheduled performer’s verses as Akon hovered overhead and let the master go to work. If it was someone else, I’m sure all hell would have broken loose. But since it was Jay-Z, I bet Young Jeezy was just amazed that Jay actually knew his song enough to rap it for him. Fun fact: Young Jeezy is pretty easy to please as his backstage demands were Skittles, Lays BBQ potato chips and Belvedere vodka.
Pre-Taped Britney Spears
Posted in Britney Spears, Live Music, Performance on the December 12, 2008
It seems that the only thing that Britney Spears can do live is to open and close her mouth with a bit of wiggling on stage. For the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting appearance of the recovered singer, Papa Spears ordered to have a pre-tape of his daughter, got Brit some anti-crazy pills, a lopsided stylist and had her play with a mic. Brit didn’t even sing at the tree lighting last week. Her presence isn’t even live as that was pre-taped the night prior. Oh well, at least she looked cute and relatively normal. It just sucks that she wasn’t live though.
Britney Spears Still Under Construction
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert, Performance on the December 9, 2008
It looks like Britney Spears’ cracks haven’t been completed repaired and it’s starting to show. Maybe getting her latest album out too soon was too great of pressure on her. The promotion that goes along with a new release might be too much for her to handle too. A ton on London fans say that the recovered singer ditched out on a heavily promoted and hyped appearance/performance at the capital’s Heaven club last weekend. Apparently, Britney made it to the venue but never came out to perform which resulted to a lot of angry fans. It looks like she has a lot of making up to do to her London fans.
MIA Rocks the Belly
Posted in MIA, Performance on the October 20, 2008
A couple of fans have commented on ‘Paper Planes’ crooner MIA’s recent performance at the Diesel xXx party in Brooklyn. Apparently, they were shocked when they saw the singer sporting a big baby belly at the party. I guess this is the reason why the hipster music fave announced her so-called retirement this past summer. After her recent engagement, it should be safe to assume just that. It would have been easier to have just come out with the pregnancy instead of the retirement story. But then again, she gets more publicity for the latter. Congratulations go out to her for the engagement and the baby either way.
Johnny Depp
Posted in Performance on the September 1, 2008
One of the most versatile actors of the present era, Johnny Depp will soon be performing in South Florida with his ‘80s rock band, The Kids.
They will play in the concert on 29th and 30th August 2008 at Club Cinema in Pompano Beach. Their performance will form part of the 2nd Annual Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concert.
Other notable to perform in the concert include The Romantics and other local South Florida bands from the ‘80s. The Kida also reformed in 2007 for the first Sheila Witkin Memorial Concert.
Johnny Depp might not be able to continue his musical career with The Kids as he is already committed with six upcoming movies in the next 2 years time including a possible Sun City 3.
Kanye Caps it Off
Posted in Kanye West, Music Festivals, Performance on the June 28, 2008
Kanye West has just posted a long rant about his performance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival which had fans angrily throwing stuff on stage after he went on really late. He says “I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don’t like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life. This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL!†And I’m going to stop at that because all the caps are dangerous to anyone’s eyes. After that last line, everything was written in caps. He’s mad people.
The Wino Beat Goes On
Posted in Amy Winehouse, Concert, Music Festivals, Performance on the June 27, 2008
Amy Winehouse may be in a fragile state but that’s not going to stop her from playing Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Concert on Friday as well as attending Glastonbury. The British media is reporting that Wino will go on stage with an ambulance crew on standby at the gigs. I hope this is not true. While it’s admirable to not let your supporters down, she should really focus on her health first. Concert organizers are even looking to outfit her backstage area like a private hospital suite complete with massage table and paramedics. If you ask me, she should have just stayed in the hospital where she can get proper care.
Ambassador Rihanna
Posted in Hit Song, Performance, Rihanna on the June 24, 2008
Rihanna was on The Today Show in New York City’s Rockefeller Center on Friday. She was there to perform her songs ‘Umbrella’, ‘Please Don’t Stop the Music’ and ‘Take A Bow’. In between songs, she also talked about being the official ambassador for her home country of Barbados. The 20-year old singer says “I am the official ambassador for cultural youth, which is perfect for me because I love dealing with young people. Barbados will always be home. They’re very, very supportive. They’re my backbone. It’s where I started. I couldn’t ask for a better place to grow up in.â€
Girls Talk Aloud
Posted in Girls Aloud, Lily Allen, Music, Music Bands, Performance on the June 7, 2008
According to the British media, BBC has offered girl group Girls Aloud their very own 8 part chat show which is said to be called ‘An Audience with Girls Aloud’. The deal they made is reportedly worth $1 million. A source revealed that “The girls are yet to sign, but they have all agreed to it. They would each be paid £20,000 ($40,000) per show. The band is going strong and they all want to commit to it 100 per cent.†BBC has been making singers into talk show hosts recently. Let’s just hope that the girls don’t turn out like Lily Allen. But then again, they’re much more likable than Lily anyway.
Flabby Fergie
Posted in Fergie, Grammy Awards, MTV, Nelly, Performance on the June 1, 2008
Fergie performed with Nelly at the MTV Video Music Japan on Saturday. Do you remember all those pregnancy rumors that came out after she announced that she was engaged? Well, there’s still no sign of a baby bump but there’s been substantial increase in her waist measurement. The singer is looking a bit soft in the middle if you ask me. There’s nothing wrong with that though. But considering that she shows off her tummy as part of her living, you would think she would at least make an effort and keep toned. Now her stomach matches her butter face.

Beyonce mad at Jay-Z
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Concert, Hit Song, JAY-Z, Performance on the April 19, 2008
Beyonce Knowles had a furious row with husband Jay-Z over one of her biggest hit singles.
Beyonce, who is believed to have married the hip-hop mogul earlier this month, reportedly lost her temper at a concert when Jay-Z told the DJ to stop playing ‘Crazy in Love’ - a track which also features the rapper.
Jay-Z allegedly said: “F**k that. Sorry Beyonce but f**k that, lets play something else.”
The concert, which was held at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, was organised in support of US Presidential candidate Barack Obama.
A source said: “Beyonce had been side stage for most of the night, dancing and singing along. Jay-Z meant it as a joke but she didn’t see it that way. After he came off stage, she confronted him, demanding to know what the hell his comments had been about. She was gesturing wildly and not looking happy.
“Later, peace was restored and they were smiling and looking happy again.”
