Making The Band 4 / Season 4 Trailer

Peep the trailer for the latest season of Making The Band 4. After the drama which saw two members of Danity Kane axed, Day26’s so-so success and Donnie’s complete and utter tanking, this season sure ought to be interesting. The trailer definitely has me anticipating what’s to come. The season premiere will be February 12th on MTV (US). 
Randomness: Did anyone else notice that Shannon was nowhere to be seen?
Will you be watching the new season of Making The Band 4?

Rihanna – ‘Rehab’ Video

The video for Rihanna’s ___ single (I’m losing count) ‘Rehab’ premiered moments ago. Directed by Anthony Madler, the clip is visually engaging simply because Ms. Fenty looks stunning. Aside from that, rubbish, boring video for a rubbish, boring song. Justin just seems to be there for being there sake (yes, he co-wrote the song, but still).

I cannot comprehend why her label continue to dish out the cash for this chick – single after single, video after video and she still isn’t selling anywhere near what she should be – even with that crappy re-release. With Mariah unable to catch a hit if she tried and Janet long gone, it makes me wonder if investing all the time and funds they have into Ms. Fenty would have been better spent on their other projects – projects which if handled correctly could have been major. Anyway…

What do you think of the video?

Toni Braxton To ‘Get Loose’

Toni Braxton To 'Get Loose'As reported late last month, Grammy award winning star Toni Braxton enlisted super producer Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins for the lead single from her forthcoming Atlantic Records debut. It has now been confirmed in the latest issue of Jet Magazine that the title of the track is ‘Get Loose’. The song is expected to impact radio very soon.
Apart from her ‘More Than A Woman’ LP, Toni has been really consistent with her releases this decade (’Libra’ is the business!). So I’m most certainly looking forward to this.

Randomness:
Being a bit presumptuous, the track sounds like it’ll be an uptempo, which is interesting as Toni has stressed in recent times that she would be ditching the Pop/current R&B for her ‘classic R&B’ sound. I guess time will tell. I’m up for more Toni, whatever the case.

LOL! I’ve long been a fan of Tyler’s stage-show’s and the movie versions have largely done a good job of taking the narrative onto the big screen. Definitely looking forward to this one.

Cassie – ‘Official Girl (ft. Lil Wayne)’ Video

The video for Cassie’s new single ‘Official Girl (ft. Lil’ Wayne)’ premiered on FN’MTV yesterday. Directed by Chris Robinson, the clip is a pretty engaging watch; Bad Boy evidently pumped quite a lot money into this move-esque effort. That said, I’m still not sold on the Danja produced song…just doesn’t move me.

What do you think of the video?

Ciara Performs Diana Ross Tribute

R&B star Ciara was among those who performed in honor of Diana Ross at the Kennedy Center Honors show which aired yesterday on CBS. The 22 year old singer performed a medley of Ross’ classics ‘I’m Coming Out’ and ‘Upside Down’. Not an obvious choice for the tribute, I thought Ciara did pretty well.

What do you think of the performance?

Britney’s ‘Blackout’: Will You Buy?

spears+blackout Britneys Blackout: Will You Buy?With all the controversy and hysteria surrounding Britney Spears as of late, today’s date has been firmly etched into the music calender as either the beginning of Spears’ comeback or possibly the end of her career. The singer’s fourth studio album ‘Blackout’ finally hit stores across the globe today.

Having heard the album in it’s entirety, I have to admit that I was pretty impressed – the CD is a solid Pop/R&B/Dance fusion. Saying that, what are your thoughts on the album? Will you buying /’obtaining’ (lol) it anytime soon? Drop your view in the ‘comment’ section…

The above pics are taken from the set of R. Kelly and Usher’s collabo ‘Same Girl’. The track, which is quickly climbing the charts, is the 2nd single from R. Kelly’s latest LP ‘Double Up’ (out now). ‘Same Girl’ is one of the better tracks from the album and is a smart single choice. Expect the Little X directed video to premier in the coming weeks.
