The Summer world tour will kick off in Paris, France on May 6th, and will include stops in Greece, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Luxembourg, Russia, Latvia, and Spain. It doesn't seem that she'll be dropping by the U.S. for the time being, as her album flopped over there.

New Fall Out Boy Video - "Beat It"


I will just leave it by saying that it was a nice try, nothing more, nothing less. I don't think it can be any better than Michael's original version of "Beat It". What do you think?

I've noticed on many different sites and forums that some of you haven't had the pleasure to see Prince perform "Creep" at the Coachella festival, so here it is once again! It's beautiful, really worth seeing, actually I think Prince should go ahead and realease his version of "Creep". Make sure to check it before it'll be taken off from Dailymotion, enjoy!

Shakira at the 4th Annual Plymouth Jazz Festival


Shakira could not be contained during her performance at the Plymouth Jazz Festival on Saturday night.

In fact, she sucked the power right out of the electricity supply,running to the stage while singing and shaking her hips to "Don't Bother".

"These things happen," she said.

"Let's pretend that we finished that last song and I am going to make it up to you. The power could go, but I am not going anywhere."

Shakira continued to chat freely with the sold out audience, endearing herself to many, while waiting for the electricity supply to be fully restored.

"Please wait for me okay? Don't go anywhere. We're fixing it."

She continued into "La Pared" and thanked the audience for their patience.

The audiance was very impressed by her!




New Eric Benet Song - "You're The Only One"


Eric Benet's new song "You're The Only One" is exquisite! It sounds like good old fashioned R&B and soul. I should say, even old school, I love it! I can't wait to hear his new album, due to be released this year in September. The album will be titled "Love and Life".

Busta Rhymes ft. Linkin Park - Sneak Peak of "We Made It"


I recently posted pictures of Busta Rhymes and Linkin Park's collaboration on "We Made It", now I've got the audio and a sneak preview. I think that it was good of Busta to add Linkin Park to the song. Check it out!





New Scarlett Johansson Video - "Falling Down"


Scarlett Johansson is gorgeous and a very talented actress, but honestly she can't sing. She should really keep her focus on acting, or at the most take singing lessons or learn how to play an instrument instead.

Prince at Coachella Videos!


This has been the highlight of my day, watching videos of Prince at Coachella! I'm sure that they'll be taken off YouTube soon, but make sure to watch at least some of them before they'll disappear.

Prince did a very cool version of "Creep", which is the first video. I never expected him to cover this song, it was a very nice surprise!




Enjoy the rest of the videos!!! It's the bomb, it's so FUNKYYYY!!!


















For more videos go to YouTube while it's still there!

Prince - "Turn Me Loose" Audio!


Abfan, I looked everywhere for an audio of Prince's "Turn Me Loose" and after a long search I'm glad to say that I found what you were looking for! Click on the below link to listen to an audio version of "Turn Me Loose" (let it load for a minute or two before listening), enjoy!!!







Madonna's "Hard Candy" Booklet


Check out Madonna's album booklet, it's full of sweet candy! The candy touch is different and original, but they should have taken Madonna in different types of shots and outfits, maybe something more sweet to go with the album, it's really a shame. Make sure to click on the images to see more!








New Solange Promo Pictures


Check out this new photo shoot of Solange, she looks absolutely beautiful! Her new album is currently scheduled to drop on August 26th.





Mariah Carey on Regis and Kelly!


Mariah Carey continued her promo tour in between performing in Times Square and lighting the Empire State Building, here she is on Regis and Kellly!






New Madonna "Hard Candy" Album Bonus Tracks!


The b-side "Ring My Bell", and the Paul Oakenfold Remix Edit of the second single "Give It 2 Me". I have to say that these bonus tracks are pretty good especially Paul Oakenfold's remix. I think both songs would work well in Europe.




What do you think of the bonus tracks?


Prince at Coachella!


Since I couldn't find any actual live footage from Prince's concert at Coachella I thought that the below article from the Associated Press would best describe how it was like to be there! Enjoy the pictures, they really capture how funky Prince's performance was!!!

"Coachella, I am here." Prince hit the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with that announcement, heralding his arrival as the much-anticipated headliner of the summer festival.

Shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, Prince strutted onto the stage wearing white pants and a white shirt with glittery fringe. His performance, the centerpiece of the three-day festival, was announced only two weeks ago, immediately making an already very hip festival of 125-plus bands significantly more in-demand.

And Prince knew it.

"You are the coolest place on earth right now!" Prince declared to a sea of tens of thousands.

Prince, who had been sought out to perform at Coachella since the festival was founded nine years ago, told the crowd that when he agreed to perform, he informed the organizers that he would not only play, but party too.

True to his word, Prince then launched his band — complete with a horn section and background singers — into "Jungle Love." Morris Day came out to sing his song, while Prince strolled around the stage with his guitar.

For the beginning of the show, Prince preferred to let his guitar do the talking. He also welcomed the singer and drummer Sheila E, who took the lead for a song and then joined Prince in an extended jam.

Finally, Prince satisfied the crowd with a celebratory performance of "1999." His classic "Little Red Corvette" soon followed.

One of the big surprises of Prince's concert was his cover of Radiohead's "Creep," which was sure to be one of Coachella's most talked-about performances. With some lyrics adjusted, a ripping guitar solo and extended falsetto crooning for a finale, Prince's "Creep" had the crowd slack-jawed.

To close the set, he gave another unique take on a song not his own: the Beatles' "Come Together." He urged the audience — whom he called his "choir" — to sing "Come together, yeah" over and over.

And just as trepidation was beginning to take hold in the crowd that Prince might actually leave without playing "Purple Rain," he returned to confirm that even in the desert, it could rain purple.

Even after the encore, though, he came back for more.

"They're telling me that we got to go, but I can't leave!" Prince shouted. He then flew through a torrid version of "Let's Go Crazy."

Prince had widely been considered the one act most all concertgoers — a diverse 60,000 of indie rockers, electronica dancers and pop fans — were certain to see. And by the end of "Let's Go Crazy," Prince had seemed to put his stamp on Coachella lore.

"From now on, this is Prince's house," he shouted before triumphantly strutting off stage and tossing his guitar 30 feet behind him.
