Rumored couple Ne-Yo and Nicole Scherzinger failed miserably at trying to “sneak by” the paps as they left the Ivy after lunch yesterday (May 6th) in LA. They left so fast, Ne-Yo was still chewing on some food! Ne-Yo, what did ya eat? Was it good? Dang, swallow already! Lol

Usher ft. Young Jeezy – ‘Love In This Club (Radio Edit)’ – page link – I really love this song! Hell, I’ve loved all of the recent material I’ve heard so far from Usher, even the sonic-hit ‘Dat Girl Right There’ with Ludacris. Though I think ‘LITC’ was a more better single choice. And I guess the rumors about Usher releasing his album in 2009 are FALSE, according to MTV News, we all can expect a video to be shot soon. So hopefully we can also expect a Spring 2008 release on Usher’s new LP.

Nicole Scherzinger – ‘Happily Never After’ – page link - Irony. This is said to be Nicole Scherzinger’s 4th single from her yet-to-be-release album Her Name Is Nicole (Interscope). It seems as though Scherzinger’s people are ‘grasping at straws hits’ now, and I don’t blame them, seeing how subpar all of her previous singles have done on the charts, as opposed to Scherzinger’s moderate success with the PCD. Well, I suppose I’ll add my commentary on the song now . . . I find it kind of blah, or boring, the lyrics and production are definitely on point (courtesy of Ne-Yo) but it’s lacking something to me.

Ashlee Simpson ft. Tom Higgens – ‘Little Miss Obsessive’ – page link – This is said to be Ashlee Simpson’s second single from the album Bittersweet Word (Geffen) set to be released mid-Spring 2008. ‘Little Miss Obsessive’ features Plain White Tees’ Tom Higgens. The single, much less with ‘Outta My Head’, has more of the mid-tempo pop rock sound Simpson is most famous for. I like ‘Outta Myy Head’, it’s catchy, but so not her sound. Though she did say it was a ‘fun’ little song that was ‘personal’. Me no likey. I want that ‘Little Miss Obsessive’ Ashlee Simpson: pop rock.

Karina Pasian – Slow Motion – page link – I have seriously underestimated this young lady, named Karina Pasian, bb! I am loving all the material I’ve heard so far from her. I heard she been rolling with Def Jam for a minute which is questionable. I think Pasian has a lot of talent and charisma to offer! I hope to be hearing more from her in the future is all I’m saying . . .

Here’s the latest video, “Scream” featuring Nicole Scherzinger and Keri Hilson, from Timbaland’s “Shock Value” album.

Yahoo! Music got an exclusive behind the scenes look at the makings of Timbaland’s brand new video for his new single “Scream” which features Keri Hilson and Nicole Scherzinger. Looks like Timbo’s still releasing songs from his new album “Shock Value.”

Not even Sean Garret can salvage her music career! With that being said, I can’t wait for Her Name is Nicole (Interscope), believe it or not. I think everything has to do with timing, her people debuted her too early, people didn’t care about Nicole as a solo artist then (I don’t know why she left the PCD). But best believe she will have her time to shine soon, way too much was going on this year. That’s why I’m glad the label pushed her album back until next year, they ain’t playing that, very smart. Again, like I said, it’s the timing – with the right promotion, singles, and pull – 2008 could very well be her year.

JANET JACKSON » TIMBALAND » FERGIE » CHINGY

Janet Jackson » “Feedback” » LISTEN » (Full) » I’m sure you all remember me posting about Janet Jackson’s forthcoming single not too long ago (in April). Here is her brand new song “Feedback,” produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, it will be the first single lifted from Janet Jackson’s 10th studio album, appropriately entitled, Discipline (Island Def Jam). The singer’s new LP is due out February 26th of next year.

Timbaland ft. Keri Hilson + Nicole Scherzinger » “Scream” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Scream” is set to be the forth single lifted from Timbaland’s Shock Value (Interscope). The heavy string/tambourine sounding single features co-production by Danja and a guest appearance by Keri Hilson and light background vocals from Nicole Scherzinger. I really wasn’t all into this song that much at first but it’s getting there!

Fergie ft. Soulja Boy » “Clumsy (Collipark Remix)” » LISTEN » (Full) » Yelp, you read right. Collipark decided to make a remix to Fergie’s song “Clumsy” and decided to throw Soulja Boy in the mix! I like the original of “Clumsy” so much that any remix wouldn’t do me, not even Soulja Boy swayed me, sorry.

Chingy ft. Ludacris + Bobby Valentino » “Gimme Dat (Explicit)” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Gimme Dat” is slated to be Chingy’s second single from his forth studio album Hate It Or Love It (Def Jam/DTP). The single features stellar production by Full Scale and guest appearances by Ludacris and Bobby Valentino (vocals). The bass did it for me, this is my cut! Very nice single choice. Hmm, I wonder if Chingy reads blogs becos he has definitely stepped his game up this time around I’d say!

CHRIS BROWN COVERS ELVIS PRESLEY “JAILHOUSE ROCK” »

So the 2007 Movies Rock! show went down last night (December 7th): a night of movies, fashion and music! Performances include Chris Brown, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Will.I.Am, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J and Eve! It looked fun, I’d say my favorite performance would have to be Fergie Ferg with “Live and Let Die” (Guns N’ Roses), she did an amazing job and did that song much justice. Ooh, I also love Usher’s performance of Gene Kelly’s “Singing in the Rain” – great show! Really they ALL did a fantastic job, I’m so proud of everyone! I’m mad I missed it y’all! Ha ha, expect more performances after the cut! CONTINUE READING

It’s definitely not the look I’m going for. I’m working diligently, daily, to try to reform, and rectify these things. But until I do, I need everybody to bare with me. If they can’t bare with me one way, they gonna have to bare with me another.
