Kelly Rowland - King Cover


I must say that I do hope that she'll be about more than just that. It's cool that she tries to promote herself as much as possible, as the competition is really fierce out there. Nevertheless, I hope she'll release a quality album too.

"George's deepest wish is to imagine a world of peace, a world without violence." (source)

Jamiroquai - Recording This Summer



Jamiroquai's studio is being fully redecorated for doing some serious writing during this summer. Jay is really looking forward on working on new tunes! I can't wait for their new album to come out!

I think Jamiroquai's great, they always manage to make you feel good. The music and songs are unique, which is another reason why I love this band. I also saw them in Rotterdam a couple of years ago and it was absolutely wonderful! There was also a cool DJ before they started performing, it truly was an amazing vibe!

Since we're almost in June, I thought this was the perfect video to post: "Seven Days In June"





Let me know if you'd like me to post more stuff on Jamiroquai!

Carrie Underwood - The Queen of Country!



Carrie Underwood is the second country singer to reach 6 million sales with a debut album.

Carrie's huge accomplishment has only been matched by LeAnn Rimes' 1996 album "Blue".

Her album, which was released in November, 2005 has spent a total of 26 weeks at number one of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

In addition, last week she claimed three trophies at the Academy of Country Music Awards.

Although American Idol gave Carrie the right exposure, I'm sure she would have been discovered at some point for her musical talent.

Here's a special appearance from Carrie last week at American Idol's finale:



I'm personally not really into country, but Carries sure does have talent!

Candy Dulfer - "Candy Store"



The amazing one and only Candy Dulfer is going to release a new albume called "Candy Store" this summer. More specifically, it will already be released in Holland, Belgium, and Switzerland on June 22nd, Spain June 18th, Germany and Austria June 29th, France early July, and Japan July 25th. It will take longer until it will be released, but only a couple of months later (September 18th).

I would say this is one of Candy's best music "Lily Was Here":



Are you also a Candy fan???

Which commercial do you like best?!

Which video is your all time favorite???

If you like something funny then you'll go for Christina, if action is your kind of thing then you'll certainly pick Beyonce and Jennifer, but if you're in for a sultry performance then Shakira will be your choice!

I liked Christina's commercial the most, what about YOU?!

Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics Tour

Here's a behind the scenes look at Christina's "Back To Basics Tour".


AI - Who's it going to be Blake or Jordin?



Based on the current votes of this blog it seems that so far it's a tie. This year's winner doesn't seem to be obvious at all. I personally would vote for Blake, although my favorite was Melinda.

Last night both candidates performed three songs:

Blake: "You Give Love a Bad Name" (Bon Jovi), "She Will Be Loved" (Maroon 5), "This Is My Now" (a song selected by viewers in the AI songwriting contest).

Jordin: "
Fighter" (Christina Aguilera), "Broken Wing" (Martina McBride), "This is My Now".

The judges seemed to think that if viewers would vote based on performance Blake would win and if it were based on the singing Jordin would win. In any case my advice is to not base your vote on the last song both idols performed last night.

Don't forget that you can catch the American Idol finale live straight from AI's website.

View it here


Here's a selection of the songs they've performed (these aren't videos from last night's show), judge for yourself and let everyone know who YOU think should win!

Avril Lavigne - Serious Actress?



Avril not only wants to be a successful pop star, but she's also aiming at becoming a serious actress. She wants to become a versatile actress, but is keen to focus her attention on appearing in ’serious drama’. She would like to be in a dark drama in which lots of emotion would be required. Basically it would showcase her ability to be a talented actress.

I'm sure Avril won't have problems getting some good movie prospects and it will be interesting to see her doing something different.

What do you think, would you like to see Avril on the silver screen?

More Prince News!



Prince will be staying seven weeks at the Roosvelt Hotel in Los Angeles from the beginning of June. There, he will perform during seven Friday nights. If everything goes according to plan, his shows will start from June 15th and continue until the end of July. Each week Prince will perform a 2 hour show with a special guest in the Blossom Room.

Prince's chef will be cooking a special menu which will be served at 2:00 am, after the show. The hotel's restaurant will be turned into a dinner club where Prince will entertain guests until 4:00 am in a special jazz ensemble.

I had a look at the Roosvelt Hotel and if there's any chance for you to go there, I highly recommend that you go! Check it out!
