GaGa Declares Her Love For Judas!

Fast becoming a Legend and still managing to shock us all Lady GaGa is taking no prisoners on her assault for World Domination! 

Back with the second single from Born This Way, GaGa is releasing Judas. As an early treat for her little monsters. 

Lyrics for this pop number will no doubt infuriate church goers and prudish people out there, especially by declaring her love for Judas. But in biblical sense, GaGa is way beyond repentance. 

Judas has an 80's feel, just like some of her other hits. When the song picks up and breaks into the chorus it will have you singing it all day long! 

With the excitement the controversial single has raised Lady GaGa herself has tweeted the album cover for Born This Way which is out on May 23, 2011.

The artwork has without a shadow of a doubt caused total chaos for her little monsters! Long Live The GaGa! 

Exciting Battle For The Top Spot!

Let the battle commence from today with an exciting week for the singles chart! New releases from Nicole Scherzinger, The Wanted and new Girl Band....Parade!

After massive success judging on the X Factor and a hit song with last single Poision, Nicole Scherzinger is on a roll. New tune Don't Hold Your Breath is impossible to ignore, it will have you dancing in the street as you stroll along with your ipod on shaking your hips!

With an empowering club jam to contend with from the mighty Scherzy it could be difficult to remember that there is a Comic Relief offering from boyband of the moment The Wanted.

Their popularity is on the rise so it came as no surprise that the boys were chosen for this years charity song. Gold Forever sticks to the same formula as the previous hits. Its a forgettable record that without the army of fans or the charity tag would fail ordinarily to make an impact on the charts.

Its an exciting week for new girl band, Parade. Their debut offering is energetic and anthemic. I hope this song is recognised for injecting some modern pop fun into the mix.

But do these new releases have what it take to knock the incredible Adele off the Number One spot?? Someone Like You has been a stomping hit since her emotional live performance at the Brits last month.

With strong contenders already in the top ten from the likes of Rihanna, Lady GaGa, Jessie J and Bruno Mars. Its an exciting weeks for the singles chart.

Debut single full of fun

Turn It Up Louder....Parade Officially Launch Debut

The Parade girls are hoping to march straight to the top of the charts from Sunday. As their debut offering Louder is finally released! Have you joined the Parade yet?

Louder is slick, care free and cool! The melody is anthemic and is designed to make you want to get up and party....Parade style!! 

Fresh from the road, supporting Alexandra Burke on a national theatre tour the girls are in full swing on the promotion trail. Next stop supporting Shayne Ward. 

With a busy week ahead the Parade Machine is in full force from Saturday. Packing in performances and signings up and down the country. Full schedule below. Its good to see the girls doing promotion the old fashioned way by signing copies of their single.

In the video for Louder the girls have an essence of the Spice Girls with the attitude of Pussycat Dolls. As a fan I am hoping the next single release will be Rollercoaster. The edgy sound, catchy lyrics and the slick dance will certainly stamp their mark firmly at the top of charts. If you haven't seen the girls live yet, see them next Sunday at Thorpe Park!

Reminiscent of the Wannabe video - Spice Girls?

The Usher Man is Back with his OMG Tour

Musical memories were alive and kicking at Manchester's Evening News Arena on February 20th. As Usher hit the stage for one night only, and it was a memorable evening!

Performing most of the hits from recent album Raymond Vs Raymond, fans were treated to a highly sexed, breathtaking show!

Lucky audience member Heather was the local beauty chosen by the man himself to join him on stage. Where the hot and sweaty star seduced her on track Trading Places, laying down on a sofa on stage while he simulated sex live in front of the thousands of jealous girls.

Usher is celebrating 15 years of success this year, and his dance moves together with his soulful voice really shone throughout the 2 hour show. If you get a chance to see The Usher Man live, grab the opportunity with both hands!

For a full review of the show stopping performance check out my review at Total Biz Reviews:  Usher Live Review: OMG Tour

New GaGa Song Released Early!

 

Born This Way - Out Friday!!!

Lady GaGa can barely contain her excitement after posting this on her Twitter page this week! The artwork for her controversial new single released this Friday 11th February. 

  

With no radio play yet the single is already hyped to be a chart topper! Is this how music has gone now. Nobody knows if this song will be good, yet we are still excited at the prospect of a new offering from the machine of GaGa!

The lyrics and samples on youtube do suggest this song has the potential to be a hit record. As the lyrics suggest it may become an anthem for the homosexual community. "Don't be a drag, just be a queen. "Whether you were left outcast, bullied, or teased, rejoice and love yourself today, cos baby you were born this way."

With the singer sporting heavy eye-liner the black and white image has a glossy eighties feel to it with an aggressive white font spelling out the song title - Born This Way.


This song will be a hit as fans all over the world will have heard the song during her mega world tour - Monster's Ball Tour.  So with a sold out tour under her sparkly belt and wacky head gear, who needs radio play?? 

See Lady GaGa at the Grammys on 13th Feb, with an outrageous performance planned. There is no stopping the GaGa machine! 

 

Price is Right for Jessie J!

Critics have acknowledged the talent of Jessie J and now the Public have sent her to the top of the singles chart!! Jessie J is riding high at number one this week, with her second song featuring the mighty B.o.B on Price Tag. 

After years of success as a song writer for Sony,  Jessie has recorded her own album Who You Are. Where two tracks that made the track list were originally for Rihanna and Alicia Keys!

Debut single Do It Like A Dude peaked in the UK charts at Number 2, and with the massive success of Price Tag,  the album is due to be released a month early! Due to popular demand, Jessie currently has both songs in the top 10!

Without a doubt, Jessie J is a welcome addition to UK music. Her edgy, two fingers up to the world and take me as I am outlook brings a fresh attitude to the industry.

Many have tried and failed to set the charts alight with a fake image and manufactured music, but what makes Jessie different?? This girl has actual talent and an image true to herself and this will appeal to the majority of her fans.

Her message to her fans is to simply be true to who you are. This reflects in her music, and shows in her meaningful lyrics that come straight from her heart.

With her talent alone Jessie J has managed a pop breakthrough, her first record deal fell through as the company went bankrupt, then after a short stint in a girl band Jessie landed her publishing deal to write for other artists.

Singer, Songwriter and Show-pony! This girl has the enviable ability to excel at it all! Not to be missed live, her incredible stage presence is pure genious.

Second number one! Out now

Due to popular demand - debut album released a month early!

Introducing Barbarellas!!

Edele and Keavy Lynch formerly of B*witched – have grown-up and are stomping back onto the music scene as part of the most compelling and captivating acts that the industry has been waiting for– introducing Barbarellas.

After four-years of hard work and perfecting, the result is a sizzling hot metamorphosis of womanhood, with lyrical wisdom and an enriched sound that demonstrates a true coming of age from these once pop-tweens. 

The girls have performed live at gigs around Ireland and Britain, and have chosen their music by public demand. Seeing what strikes a chord with people by the reception they received. This way they hope their music will appeal to everyone!

Barbarellas is a musical expression of who the Lynch twins really are now. The girls diligently showcased their sound to live audiences across the UK, experimenting with what really strikes a chord with the public, adapting and fine-tuning their songs to ensure that they’d be fully accepted as mature artists. 

As Barbarellas, the Lynch sisters have finally returned and stand ready to inject fresh excitement into the pop world. 2011…get ready for the almighty Barbarellas!

What The Hell - Avril Returns!!

Avril Lavigne returns with brand new single "What the Hell" which sees the return of the Queen of Pop rock back to rule the charts once again. 

It is the first single from her upcoming fourth studio album Goodbye Lullaby, and it sounds like just another perky song helmed pop singalong. However, in the context of the recent breakup of 26 year olds marriage, the words take on more depth. 

After listening to the song a few more times, the sentiments are, no pun intended, more complicated than first thought. Her writing and sound is definitely more grown up from the last bubble gum pop music from Best Damn Thing.

The single is out now on iTunes and the official video is at the bottom of this blog.

Parade's All Night Long Success!

A new girl band stole the limelight as a support act at The Pavilion Theatre in Rhyl, where Alexandra Burke headlined. See Total Biz Reviews for the full review or Total Biz Reviews (Alexandra Burke)

Parade marched on stage like a breath of fresh air. As they stood in line glancing at the crowd in the corner of their eyes the excitement was intense. The crowd could not take their eyes off the girls.

They burst into five songs, starting with Perfume, Rokstar, debut single Louder, Cee Lo Green's Forget You and potential hit Rollercoaster.

The Pararade girls all have strong live voices and the confidence in their group which showed in the performance. With their cheeky banter, suggestive dance moves and catchy pop tunes Parade should stand the test of time as the brand new Girl Band for the next generation.

Together these girls are ready to take over the charts, their dance moves were slick, outfits were sparkly and cool and their energy was fantastic!

If you can catch the girls on Alexandra Burke's All Night Long Tour then you will be in for a treat!

The debut video for Louder airs on Thursday 20th January at 5pm. It has the raw talent and excitement of Wannabe (Spice Girls) and the cool, edgy vibe of Dontcha! (Pussycat Dolls).

Look out for that! For a sneak preview see the right hand side of my blog!

Britney is back to her best!

Britney is back and is set to heat up the dancefloor  with her brand new single, "Hold It Against Me."

After many leaked versions of the track online the pop princess herself has announced on her Twitter page that the real version will blow your mind. So, is it worth waiting a month for it to be released? 

Totally, the demo of "Hold It Against Me" is one of Britney's catchiest club bangers yet. Pop's ultimate starlet embraces her dance influences more than ever, perfectly delivering an angelic refrain over a propulsive backdrop of potent production from Max Martin and Dr. Luke. 


The song proudly stands alongside Britney classics like "Womanizer," "Gimme More," and "Toxic," but with this track  Britney is stepping into new territory and pushing the boundaries of dance pop once more. 

She sings "If I said I want your body, would you hold it against me?". It's the hottest pop track of the year, and it signals another new age for one of its brightest stars. Hold this track tight for the ride of your life…

Available here in the UK on February 20th and Britney's as-yet-untitled seventh studio album is due this March. "Hold It Against Me" couldn't come at a better time, and it's bound to be in everyone's head within a day.

Welcome back Britney…

Alex Kicks off tour in Sunny Rhyl!

ALEXANDRA Burke hits the shores of Sunny Rhyl this Thursday 13th January to begin her 31 date national theatre tour. In the first of two sold out shows, the All Night Long Tour is Alex's first tour where she is the headline act.

Rhyl has become a popular venue to host the debut shows for the latest artists to warm up for their shows, from the likes of Girls Aloud in the early days to recently JLS wowing the crowds.

Since winning the X Factor in 2008 fans all over Britain have been waiting to see their winner on the road performing songs from her debut album Overcome.

The wait is finally over as Miss Burke has been busy rehearsing hard to give her fans the show they have been patiently waiting for. Hopefully the additional songs on the deluxe album will feature within the tour too.

The Beast is about to be Unleashed!!!

Supporting Alexandra on the All Night Long Tour is new girl band Parade. The girls, Emily, Bianca, Sian, Jessica and Lauren are currently tipped to be one of the future stars of 2011 from Heat magazine.

Parade have appeared on my blog many times and deserve to be the next big girl band.
This tour will give them a whole new fanbase and I am looking forward to seeing their set, performing live and showing us what they are about.

Good Luck to Parade!

Eyes Wide Shut for JLS!

JLS are back with a brand new single Eyes Wide Shut from their second album. Featuring man of the moment Tinie Tempah the mid tempo ballad will set the mood for the Valentines release. 

Singing about how much they can't believe they have the girl of their dreams, they need to sleep with their eyes open to make sure it isnt too good to be true. Its sure to have the ladies swooning after the guys. 

The single version is much better than the album track, so I hope this song does really well and it would be fantastic if this could be their 5th Number One!! 

With the Arena tour already kicking off in the UK, the lads are set up for another brilliant year. Can they really top an amazing 2010. 

Only Tonight Live From London is out now!

Outta This World - Second album is out now!

Eyes Wide Shut feat Tinie Tempah available to download 13th Feb. CD out 14th Feb.
