New Jessica Simpson Song - "Come On Over"


Jessica Simpson is about to release a new country album, and "Come On Over" is the first song which has leaked from the album. I am surprised to say that it's actually pretty good. Country seems to really fit Jessica.

Usher Performs At Bryant Park!


Usher performed in New York's Bryant park yesterday, and got the crowd really crazy, they totally loved his performance! He performed "This Ain't Sex", "In This Club", and "Yeah". I really love "This Ain't Sex", this song is great, and it surely will reach a high position on the billboard charts!

This Ain't Sex:




In This Club:




Yeah:






Amy Winehouse - Rock In Rio Performance


Amy admits herself that she should have canceled on her Rock In Rio Lisbon performance, because her voice just isn't good enough. First she was 45 minutes late, and then when she did appear she forgot the lyrics to her own songs. Amy drank while being on stage, and had a difficult time standing up straight. It's really a pitty for her back up singers and musicians who are actually being professional. It's sad, and although I do like Amy's music, it doesn't look like she's going to manage to get back on track. It can only go downhill from now on.






New Madonna Video - "Give It 2 Me" Preview

Which version do you prefer?



Ashanti - "The Declaration" YouTube Preview


For those of you who can't wait for June 3rd to hear Ashanti's new album "The Declaration", the listen to entire preview below, exclusively on YouTube.

New Rihanna Song - "Disturbia"


This week, Rihanna released a revamped, remixed edition of her platinum selling 2007 album, "Good Girl Gone Bad". "Good Girl Gone Bad Reloaded" includes a new single called "Disturbia".

She is at the moment in the sixth place, but she is fast catching up to Timbaland, who is featuring One Republic’s Apologise video, which has been eyeballed by 56 million.

Leona is at the moment getting around 150,000 views per day!

Alicia Keys Covers Seventeen Magazine


The beautiful, exquisite, talented Alicia Keys graces Seventeen Magazine's July cover. Get a copy of this issue on June 3rd. Alicia shares her major mistakes, lost loves and how she’s finally following her heart.

On her current friendships: “I don’t have a ton of friends. That’s too much work. So most of my friends are girls I’ve known for years. I mean we were 4 years old together, or we met each other in high school, or junior high school, so I’ve known them for a long time. Most of them are great people and don’t even look at me like ‘Alicia Keys’ – they are my great, wonderful sisters.”

On what she’s learned about love and dating: “I wouldn’t deal with a guy who didn’t know how to make me feel really loved. If you’re not totally head-over-heels adoring and loving me at every moment, I’m not even into you. I need that. I think we deserve people who really, really love us. Like whether you’re a thousand miles away or right there, you need to make the person feel special, and you have to feel special too.”

On being a perfectionist: “Yes, I definitely am. But I’m realizing it’s okay for things to not be perfect. Like even with relationships – I think we get into them, and we have these ideas of how it’s supposed to be. And when it starts not to feel right, we think we can make it right. But when it’s not right, I have to say, Something’s wrong and I have to figure out what it is so I can feel happier.”

Alicia learned to play the piano at six, got her first acting gig on The Cosby Show at five, and has won 75 awards since her first album dropped.

They also give young people the tools to identify, learn about, and take action on the issues that affect their lives, and leverage their power in the political process.

In the TV spot Christina sings a lullaby of "America the Beautiful" to her 4-month-old son, Max Liron Bratman, who is covered in the American flag.

New Keri Hilson Song - "Energy"


Keri Hilson is getting her debut album ready at the moment. The actual release is not known yet, however it should happen by the end of the year. Check out Keri’s debut solo single “Energy.”

Vocally, Keri sounds good, so does the music, however "Energy" doesn't really have that wow factor that just gives you that craving to listen to it over and over again.


What's your opinion?



B.I.G Biopic News


The B.I.G biopic which is being filmed right now, will finally see the light in the near future. Below, you'll find a behinds the scene video of a B.I.G concert for the biopic. The story mainly focuses on B.I.G and his mother Valetta.



What do you think of B.I.G's biopic?



The B-52s "Today" Show Performance


The B-52s are making a comeback, they are preparing to hit the road on a tour set to launch later this season. They performed "Funplek", "Rock Lobster", and "Love Shack". For those of you who are not familiar with "Rock Lobster" sounds very sixtiesish, wacky, basically typical B-52s music. I personally am not crazy about it and prefer a track like "Love Shack. However, something B-52 fans will love to know is that they sound and act exactly the same as they used to.










David Cook on Regis & Kellly


David Cook discusses winning American Idol, how did he get into music, what he's been doing the last couple of years music wise, dating, and more! He also sang number one hit song on iTunes "The Time On My Life". He sang a nice accoustic version of the song.

Erykah Badu New Album News!


On February 26th, Erykah Badu released New Amerykah Part 1, 4th World War which sold 124,000 copies during its first week of release. Erykah Badu is already making plans for New Amerykah Part 2, Return of the Ankh and a third album.

“I wanted to give away my materials,” Badu tells Wired magazine. “It’s about sharing, and that’s why I like this system.” Return of the Ankh is due out in July and is expected to be accompanied by USB sticks which Badu says include extras ranging from footage of concerts, to commentary on the recording process and “me in a bathtub with Flavor Flav.”

Erykah also hinted at the fall release of a “period piece” tentatively titled Lowdown Loretta Brown. While she has used the alias Loretta Brown during her live performances, she was rather tight-lipped about how it would be used for a full-length release saying, “I don’t want to introduce too much of that right now. I don’t want Gwen Stefani stealing my shit.”

Mmm Gwen Stefani stealing music, that's the first time I've heard of this, but hey you never know. In any case, Music2Nite is really looking forward to the release of these albums and USB sticks!



New Kanye West Video - "Flashing Lights" (Version 2)


Here is Kanye West's new version of "Flashing Lights". The video basically shows the life of a hot girl living probably in New York and what she does on a daily basis. Which "Flashing Lights" video do you prefer the new version or the old version?

New David Cook Song - "The Time Of My Life"


Everyone knows by now that David Cook won American Idol Wednesday night. It was a well deserved victory, but I do hope that it doesn't mean that A.I will control his every move and the type of album he will make.


Here's "The Time Of My Life", the song David sang after winning A.I.




What do you think of "The Time Of My Life", and are you looking forward for an album from David Cook?

Common returns with “Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)” produced by Pharrell. This is a different sound for Common. The fast-paced cut will appear on the Chi-Town MC’s next album Invincible Summer.

"Words" Lyrics:

I believe that
Heaven must be like this
Ray of sunshine
Kissed upon your skin
Just say you love me
Make my day go good
Pot of gold at the
End of the rainbow

Can't tell you nothin you aint already heard
No matter what I say it's nothin but words
Just let me prove to you what I know is real
Let me express to you the way that I feel

I believe that
Love is synonymous
With heaven
Such a sensual bliss
The way you touch me
Makes this life so good
A reward at the
End of the long road

Fairy tales can be
Real if you just believe
Go my mind made
I don't plan to leave
Cuz you were meant for me
Simple that may be
Why be complex
Loving you is so easy

Will We Hear More Amy Winehouse Music?


Amy Winehouse has been able to make new music for some time now, and she recently was dropped for the James Bond theme song. However, she keeps on receiving awards! This week, Amy received the award for Best Song Musically And Lyrically at the Ivor Novello Awards. However, she was late and her father had to come up on stage and thank the audiance for the award instead of Amy.

"I don't know what I'm doing up here," Mitch Winehouse said, as he took to the stage. "Amy unfortunately couldn't make it but she's getting better and she sends you all her love."

Amy did eventually show up.

Awards will eventually stop coming and Amy will really have the straighten her life if she basically wants to live another 50 years or so and if she wants to continue singing too.

Apparently, Amy is going to give Rehab another chance, but this time in Israel! Amy will undergo "very short, intensive and effective treatment" costing $12,800 (£6,400) within the next few weeks at the Barzilai Medical Centre. Eliezer Cohen, chairman of the Israel Anti-Drug Authority, claims the clinic agreed to treat the 24-year-old following a request from her management. They spoke to a renowned Israeli institution and an Israeli professor who conducts a very special and effective method. She has requested to come to him to do this method, since it's a method that is suitable for her. Amy will receive 36 hours of treatment - will be treated by Andre Waismann, who promises success.

What do you think? Will Amy finally get her life straightened out and return to music?





Alanis Morissette - "Flavors Of Entanglement" Album Leak!


Alanis Morissette's new album "Flavors Of Entanglement" has just leaked. It will officially be released on June, 10th so if you like the album, make sure to buy your own copy! This is her seventh album, and it surely is a hit! As usual, she put a lot of her personal life and relationships in the album, but this is how we all like her. Below are three possible links to download her new album, enjoy! To view her new video "Underneath", click here!




Make sure to leave your comments!

Beyonce - James Bond Theme Song


Beyonce is in talks with James Bond producers to record the theme song for "Quantum Of Solace". Amy Winehouse was originally supposed to sing the theme song, however Mark Ronson felt that Amy was in no state to record music at the moment.

Beyonce is currently considering recording a new track written by Amanda Ghost and collaborating with legendary Bond composer John Barry.

It's a pitty for Amy Winehouse, as I think that she would have done an amazing track for a James Bond movie, however Beyonce's more serious about her music and will do a great job too.

George Michael On American Idol!


George Michael sang "Praying For Time", which is one of his most beautiful and touching songs. I enjoyed his performance so much, what an incredible artist he is! All of you American fans out there, don't miss his 25Live show, it's absolutely amazing, I just can't say it enough, go see it more than once if you can!

In this video, you can see the top 12 performing "Faith" "Father Figure", and "Freedom", just before introducing George Michael. They did a good job introducing him, and of course George was phenomenal!





Janet Jackson - "Roch Witchu" Concert Dates!


Janet Jackson has also launched JanetFanClub.com, a dedicated tour website where the public can sign up for access to presale tickets, exclusive content, and contests. Pre-registration has begun for the website, which will go live on May 28th.

Janet says she has missed being out on the road performing for fans, and says she thinks about how to perform each song even when she's recording: "I have missed it, and it means a great deal to me. I love bringing something to life. When I'm creating music or singing the music I think about the stage performance, I think about tour, I get ideas about each song for the structure of the show. Even though it tends to change at times, but still, that's where the process, the idea, tends to start that early on for myself."

Dates confirmed so far on the Janet Jackson Rock Witchu tour are:

September 10 - Vancouver, BC - GM Place
September 29 - Montreal, QC - Centre Bell
October 13 - Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre
October 15 - Washington, DC - Verizon Center
October 17 - East Rutherford, NJ - Izod Center




New Usher Video - "Moving Mountains"


Here's Usher's new video "Moving Mountains", which is a lot better than "Love In This Club". I don't only mean the video itself, but the song too. This song is also deeper and has more significance than "Love In This Club". I guess he wanted to launch his new album with a light easy listening track, rather than a serious one. However, I still think he shouldn't have done "Love In This Club".




What do you think of Usher's new video?
