Just My Faves

Oh how I’ve missed her!

Lily Allen won the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist. She’s been MIA lately because she’s about to go on an indefinite hiatus from her singing career. I know I’ll miss her even more, but trust she’ll be very successful and entertaining in whichever endeavors she chooses; which looks to be getting her own record label off the ground.

Here she is performing her hit “The Fear” at the Brits last night.

More pictures of Lily, as well as Pixie Lott, at the awards.

Love it. Good look/vibe for Rih!

ETA: Below is Pixie’s cover of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody”

Looks like Pixie Lott has another hit on her hands! Her new video for “Gravity” premiered yesterday and I love it! It’s simple, classy, and beautiful.

Watch below!

In his first televised performance since “the incident”, Breezy hit the stage to help bring in more donations to benefit the tragedy in Haiti via BET’s Saving Ourselves (SOS) Help For Haiti special.

He performed “Crawl” and “With You” and showed the great stage presence we’re all accustomed to with his live performances. Watch below:

Work it, Serena!

Chris Brown joined Drake on stage last night to perform “A Night Off”, which is a track off of Drake’s “So Far Gone” mixtape.

Naturally, the performance made its way to the internet. Check it out below! (2 different versions)

< begin rant > I’m gonna preface this with the following message: I know Breezy messed up big time. We all know this. However, unlike some, I don’t think he should be banned from creating/sharing music for the rest of his life. He def lost some cool points with me for roughin’ up my girl Rihanna, but the bottom line is that he’s paying his debt to society. He makes great music, and can dance his ass off, so I want to see more!

When Charlie Sheen (who is middle-aged, and with a history of abuse) got busted recently, I didn’t see anyone calling for him to get fired from his job. No one was organizing boycotts of CBS or his show. No one was drafting letters to people who do business with him, urging them to terminate their sponsorships. (Though Hanes did pull his ads, they were the only ones) People seemed to accept his actions as normal and move on without outrage. They couldn’t do that with a 19 year old man who has only messed up once? That’s all I needed to throw my support behind Chris. People need love the most when they deserve it the least.

I know many won’t agree with me, and that’s cool. This site is title “Just My Faves”, which means MY faves, and not necessarily yours < / end rant >

Now, that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let me talk about something positive: new Breezy tunes! Looks like Chris is looking to get his grown and sexy on with the release of a new mixtape titled In My Zone on Valentine’s Day. He jumped on Ustream with Kevin McCall the other night to give fans a 25 minute preview. Watch it below:

I’m diggin’ most of the tracks he shared and Chris looks happy. He’s in his element in the studio. It seems like the studio and the stage are the only places he feels he can be free. Will definitely be copping the mixtape. The last album I bought was Chris’ Graffiti, and that’s saying a lot, as I don’t buy many CDs.

I haven’t seen any specific places where this mixtape will be available, but I’m sure word will spread in the coming 2 weeks.

“If Only You Knew” (Patti LaBelle cover)

“Weak”

NOTE: I have the interview as well, but my FTP program keeps crapping out in the middle of that transfer. I’ll add it later, I promise! Also, you might have to turn your speakers up a little. BET comes in very quiet on my TV for some strange reason.

ETA: Just got the interview up!
