Snoop Dogg – ‘Sensual Seduction’ Video

The video for Snoop Dogg’s latest video ‘Sensual Seduction’ made its debut yesterday. I’m kinda shocked that Snoop went through with the concept of the vid, but must say that it worked. Hilarious. It’s actually made me like the song a little better now. The track is the first to be lifted from his 9th studio album ‘Ego Trippin’ (due early 2008).

What do you think of the video?

Prince’s Demands Outrage Fans

Prince has angered his fans by demanding that all photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to his likeness be removed from several fansites. The sites have been served with ‘Cease and Desist’ orders and have been threatened with further legal action for copyright infringement.

Disgruntled webmasters have banded together against the demands by forming the ‘Prince Fans United’ group. Here’s an extract of what they feel about the orders:
“It is our opinion that these threats are not made in an attempt to enforce valid copyright as Prince alleges in his threats, rather we believe they are attempts to stifle all critical commentary about Prince.

We strongly believe that such actions are in violation of the freedom of speech and should not be allowed. Prince claims that fansites are not allowed to present any artwork with Prince’s likeness, to the extreme that he has demanded the removal of fans’ own photographs of their Prince inspired tattoos and their vehicles displaying Prince inspired license plates.”

This has to be a joke, right? Some of these artists are forgetting who made them famous in the first place. A mess.

Your thoughts?

MTV Movie Awards Performances: Rihanna & Amy Winehouse

The 2007 MTV Movie Awards took place last night in Los Angeles. Both Rihanna and Amy Winehouse performed at the star-studded event. Check out their performances:

Rihanna – Umbrella

I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting Rihanna’s anticipated performance with Jay-Z to be anything special; however I was pleasantly surprised by how good she did. Everything from her stage presence, to the vocals, to her look were all on-point. I’m still wondering what relevance Jay-Z has on the song, as he added nothing to the performance.

Amy Winehouse – Rehab

UK singing sensation Amy Winehouse also took to the stage to perform her hit ‘Rehab’. I liked her performance and felt it improved as it went on. She’s definitely had better performances than this, though. At the start she seemed kinda uncomfortable, yet got it together by the middle of the song.

What do you think of their performances?
