  • Vanessa Carlton’s 2 TV Appearances from Wednesday (VIDEO)

    0

    It’s a rare thing for Miss Carlton to pop up on my TV, so best believe I’m going to share the goodness with my friends; and you, readers with such great taste, are my friends!

    Anyway, let’s get down to it! Nessa made her nationally televised comeback performance on the Tonight Show with jay Leno and interview on Chelsea Lately today, and it was almost too much for me to handle. Not really. Well, kind of. I’m just so happy for her, and it’s good to see that face, and hear that voice again!

    BTW, GO GET HER ALBUM, RABBITS ON THE RUN, RIGHT NOW!

    Note: I fully expect NBC to yank the Leno video off YouTube (like they always do), so I’ll replace it, if need be, when I get back online!

  • Stacie Orrico is Back!

    Stacie Orrico

    Right now I know some of y’all are like “who the hell is Stacie Orrico?” If you’re one of those people, the following gif is for you:

    killyoself

    Nuttin’ but love for y’all, but it’s time for you to get acquainted with Miss Orrico. She’s immensely talented and an absolute sweetie (met her back in the day). She started out a Christian artist, then crossed over to mainstream popularity with catchy pop singles such as “Stuck” and “(There’s Gotta Be) More To Life”, which appear on her self-titled album. She was planning a US release the follow-up, Beautiful Awakening, thanks to the lovely lead single “I’m Not Missing You”. That song still resides on my iPod to this day.

    However, I believe things fell apart with Stacie’s label, then she decided to take some time off, travel, live life, and what not, so some of us thought her music journey ended. Not soooooooo…

    Stacie sent an email to her long-supporting fansite, So Stacie, which announced her return!

    Hi everyone! I’ve returned from my holiday in Japan to find an e-mail from none other than the lovely Miss Orrico herself! She would like to thank you all for your amazing continued support over the years, and revealed that new music is indeed on its way! In the US, this new music is looking to be released along with a relaunch of Beautiful Awakening too, so all the US fans who missed out on the Beautiful Awakening era can get pumped! Stacie said the new album will be a continuation of where she left off from Stacie Orrico and Beautiful Awakening and that a record deal inking is foreseeable in the very near future. Most of all, Stacie assured us fans that music is and will always be a part of her life, whether it be singing, writing or producing for other artists. So, with that, let’s all hear a big “HIP HIP HOORAY!!” and stay tuned to So Stacie for further news on the return of our favourite singer!!

    Hooray, indeed! Now, seriously. Get to know this girl! Go on. Do it, now!

    ETA: Now that I think about it, when I met her, I took video of her acoustic performance. It was amazing. I’ma try to find it!

    Pixie Lott

    More good news for Pixie Lott as it was made known today that she signed with Select Model Management.

    This is a very good move for the Pixie Lott brand and I can’t wait to see what her first modeling move is!

    Here’s what model scout, Tandy Anderson said:

    “Pixie is stunning. She has presence, style, an infectious personality, and has already caught the eye of various designers and photographers, from Dolce & Gabbana to Ellen Von Unwerth. She’s a talented and successful musician and we are confident that as a model, she can enjoy similar success.”

    The video makes me like the song more! And, as always, love Pixie’s dancing/choreo! So mission accomplished! Bravo, Pixie!

    I kinda dig it. A nice, fun song. I don’t really tire of these, and wish more American artists would provide more of the same. Can’t wait to see the video, which comes out Friday!

    Having said that I’m not sure that’s what I would have led with as a comeback single. Sounds like anyone could have put that song out. Only differentiation is Pixie’s unique voice. But who knows what else Pixie has up her sleeve?! After all, she is releasing another single prior to the album release. Get it, girl!

  • Duffy Gets Back To Work!

    Duffy is writing in Spain

    I mean, I love seeing some of my fave music Brits — Joss, Adele, Pixie — light it up lately, but I’ve been missing a certain someone… namely Miss Aimee Duffy.

    I enjoyed her latest effort, Endlessly, and didn’t feel it got the promotion or accolades it deserved. So yea, the dance-y stuff was probably a little out there for the stereotypical Duffy fan, but don’t we all appreciate an artist who adapts and tries new stuff?

    Well, I do, so that’s why I was so glad to see that Duffy is back at it, writing in Spain with Albert Hammond. She even supplied a picture (above) as evidence. So cute, that Duffy!

    Anyway, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with this time, and hope we don’t have to wait too long to hear it! *goes and jams to “Mercy”*

  • Willa Ford Heads to “Magic City”

    Willa, Willa, Willa, whatchu want, whatchu want?

    Well, she apparently wants to keep acting, and that’s just fine by me, although I miss my favorite “Bad Girl”. Back in late May, she hinted about a new acting project that she was excited to announce, and she dropped another few tidbits today.

    A simple Google search led me to a new STARZ series that goes by the title “Magic City”, set to air next year. Here’s a brief synopsis:

    Starz’s upcoming 10-episode drama series Magic City. Set in Miami in the late 1950s-early 1960s, Magic City chronicles the collision of mobsters, politicians and entertainers at the first preeminent Miami hotel just as Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba and shuts down Havana as a gambling haven. It centers on Ike (Morgan), a suave Jewish-American man who builds the hotel and along the way makes some strange bedfellows and many powerful enemies.

    The cast includes: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olga Kurylenko, Jessica Marais, Steven Strait, Christian Cooke, Danny Huston, Jessica Marais, Steven Strait, Christian Cooke, Dominik Garcia Lorido, Elena Satine, Kelly Lynch, Michael Rispoli, Yul Vázquez and Oscar-nominated Seymour Cassel.

    IMDB has updated her profile with the “Magic City” casting, and lists her character as “Janice” for what looks to be 3 episodes (nearly a third of the season). Very exciting for Willa, and can’t wait to see what she looks like as a red head!

  • Pixie Lott Returns with “All About Tonight”

    Pixie Lott All About Tonight

    But you can’t hear the full song just yet! That will be available for your listening and downloading pleasure on the 11th, with the video for “All About Tonight” debuting on the 17th (which her official website says is a Friday. It is not. It’s a Sunday). For now, Miss Pixie will be teasing us with clips of her new sound and look via video.

    Album hits stores November 7th; overseas, that is.

    I’m not optimistic about those of us stateside getting this album release. I mean, we didn’t get the last one. *sigh* But, if you’re going to record large portions of your album here, as well as film your video, you’d think the label might throw us a little bone here or there, ya know? Yea, still not going to hold my breath, but very excited about “All About Tonight” all the same!

    God Bless YouTube. That is all.

  • Music Video: Skylar Grey – “Dance Without You”

    Welp, the video matches the song pretty well! But it’s still a little too “out there” for me even though I absolutely love the drums and overall production. Sometimes, it just be’s like that. Ya know? Still love Skylar and looking forward to this project!
