Britney Spears – Why are fans calling her fat?

It doesn’t take a detective to discover that there are some hardcore Britney Spears fans which are repeatedly calling her “Fat”. They usually range between the ages of 8-13 years. Britney Spears now surprisingly promotes quite a healthy body image in comparison to her yester-years. She isn’t bony, and she looks incredible. Simply compare these two images, the first, a photo from her 2004 Greatest Hits Album ‘My (Sorry, Bobby’s) Prerogative, where her legs look like twigs.

Yet when you get to the second image, a recent shot of her modelling for one of her new endorsement deals, she looks real (by Hollywood standards at least) She’s still skinny, but she has shape, and confidence, not just ratty greased up sexuality.

Britney Spears has made a change for the better, she’s had two children, and now she has a more natural looking frame. She’s more mature, and she’s more real, and as soon as she is out of her conservatorship expect to see her doing some very interesting interviews where we can all hear her own side of the story. Britney has made the transformation from a glitter teenager to a mature, and intruiging woman, this is the key to her success with Blackout and Circus, she still has the same fanbase, however the horde of mindless tweens have migrated to leech off of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. But what has given a new life to her music is that adults, both male and female, can all enjoy some part of it, whether it be the vocals, the beats, or the fun lyrics. That is more important in music, to be able to create something people enjoy, rather than perportrating to a core demographic.

Britney Spears is almost a product of the media, they brought her down, and then they brought her back up, now she has to take control because unless she says “Fuck You” to the media and the people around her, then she is going to be brought back down again. It’s a cycle that she has the oppourtunity to rise above of.

Kanye West = Giant Douche

Kanye West is giant douche for many reasons, I just felt the need to put this in words.

Firstly, He has absolutely no grasp of the fact that the world existed before his date of birth, he likes to say dumb things as if he is some sort of ground-breaking entrepreneur like…

“We all self-conscious. I’m just the first to admit it”

No Kanye, you are not the first to admit that… are you actually retarded? Secondly Why the fuck would you say that when you are only conscious of yourself and obivously not of others. Kayne West seems to think he is some sort of icon, like Michael Jackson or the Beatles, but what is worse is that he believes he needs to tell people this? I mean come on, did anybody ever hear Michael Jackson say anything as ridiculous as this…

“I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice. It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.” (Kanye West)

WOW and as if you thought that was one of the most ridiculous things an egotistical maniac can say without even the slightest shred of irony or sarcasm, then read this!

“I’m doing pretty good as far as geniuses go… I’m like a machine. I’m a robot. You cannot offend a robot… I’m going down as a legend, whether or not you like me or not. I am the new Jim Morrison. I am the new Kurt Cobain… They feel like, yo, you know ‘he’s got a God complex, because he said if they wrote the Bible again that he would be in it’. Duh, yeah, I would be in it. I feel like I’m one of the more important people in pop culture right now… The Bible had 20, 30, 40, 50 characters in it. You don’t think that I would be one of the characters of today’s modern Bible? And people have their own forms of bibles now. It’s a new day and age…”

Oh my fucking god Kanye, when your mother told you that you were the most special person in the world, she meant that to her you were special, nobody else could honestly put together a solid arguement that you should be in “Today’s Bible”. WHAT!!? It’s a New Day and age from 2000 years ago?!! Gee… thanks Kanye I didn’t notice those last two milleneum’s!

To top this all off, at the European Music Awards, Kanye literally got onto the stage and started bitching because he didn’t win an award, he began to complain that “My video cost 1,000,000 dollars and their video only cost 250,000!” He then went on to say…

“It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a helicopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award,”

Kanye, you suck, you are one rapper in a crowd of like a million rappers with a talent rate of 1 in five thousand, and you write about the same things every other rapper writes about, “Jesus” and “Strippers”, the artists that are crowned as the top of their industries in Rap music are Timbaland and Missy Elliott, they both show extreme amounts of innovation, they have a passion for what they do, they don’t care about sales and awards, they don’t do it for instant gratification.

Kanye West is the piece of shit thats stuck to the back of your toilet that you can’t get off no matter how hard you try. He has only had four albums, and seems to believe he is some sort of amazing inspirational character like Barack Obama, seriously, he just sings about strippers and jesus and then when he doesn’t he has to steal someone else song completely (Not merely sampling it) and place lyrics about how good her believes himself to be. Spare me! Watch the video of the EMA fiasco below!

Upcoming Album – Keri Hilson “In A Perfect World”

Keri Hilson's Debut Album

Keri Hilson, RnB songstress, is completely underrated, and has the talent and the style to make it big finally, after teasing us with glimpses of herself in “The Way I Are” by Timbaland. After listneing to a set of new tracks from Keri Hilson, I’m convinced her debut album, which is long overdue, “In a Perfect World”, with smashing tracks like “Alienated”, “Return The Favour”, and “Energy”, will eventually find success with the right dosage of promotion and live performances.

Keri Hilson does not have enough current exposure as a solo artist to be recognised the way she needs to be, her music is definetly hit quality, addictive, and intense. I believe that she should possibly do a lot more promotion in Australia and the United Kingdom, she needs to go onto chat shows around America and perform, to showcase her talents properly. The release of the album has been poorly planned because it has been pushed back over two years, and most of the songs have changed due to the changing market and inspirations in Keri Hilsons writing.

Watch out for “In A Perfect World” which will be released on the 24th of March. Below you can checkout two of the songs from the album, the first being Energy a slick production with the perfect combination of heartwrenching vocals and deep fast beats.

Secondly We Have “Alienated” a similar combination of striking beats and emotional vocals, but this time with dreamy synth beats.

So, what do you think of Keri Hilson, are you a fan already? Do you enjoy these songs? Do you think she will find success in the musical industry in America, or should she go overseas?  Leave a comment below and tell me your opinion!

Natalie Bassingthwaighte – Someday Soon Goes “Gold”

 

Natalie Bassingthwaighte

Barely a week after her album debuted at number 1, Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s second single “Someday Soon” (Of which the majority of readers have voted to be a fantastic single) has been certified Gold for selling over 35,000 copies, which is a very, very impressive result and it shows the staying power and resilience of her music, that it does not arrive one week and depart off the charts the next.

 

Alive (The First Single) has also been certified Gold a month ago, and is definitely on it’s way to achieving platinum status. It is rare for most singles to achieve sales of the threshold that receives a Gold certification, and this shows that as about 7 of her singles have been certified gold or platinum, which is only an example of her popularity with adult markets as well as young people. I say this because young people often download one song off iTunes the week it comes out, and after that do no purchase anything else, whereas adults are more inclined to purchase a physical single, and usually it is not during the week of release , which results in a single having a decent life in the charts but without a high peak position.

Lady Gaga – Love Game – Update

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s Third Single will be Love Game, as previously mentioned, a song which has already taken off all over the world, and expect it to spread just  as quickly and with the same ubiquitous charm that Poker Face had. Poker Face is faring quite well in the United World Chart  having risen from last weeks position of number 3 to 2nd place, and do not be surprised if it reaches the number one spot next week , as it is only 9000 points away from the top song at the moment (Right Round “Flo Rida” featuring Kesha not Katy Perry) this week it garnered 318,000 points! This best part is that Poker Face was released and had peaked in most countries apart from the United States over 4 months ago , meaning this huge chart position is based on the United States only, which is a great effort!

Also be on the lookout for a deluxe edition of “The Fame” as I am almost certain that one will be released depending on the success of Love Game, this should include either leftover tracks (B-sides) or new tracks, as she is always in the studio and the company will be eager to release more music before the next album, which will be at least another year or two depending on the longevity of “The Fame”.

1000 Stars Astounding Number 1 Debut

1000 Stars Natalie #1 Debut

The results are in! 1000 Stars by Natalie Bassingthwaighte has reached the top of the charts in it’s first week! This is an incredible effort considering such fierce competition as Lily Allen’s number 1 album “It’s Not Me It’s You”, and Jimmy Barne’s Live album which was discounted to $3 on iTunes to raise money for the Victorian Bushfire victims of Black Saturday.

This is certainly an amazing way to start a solo career, especially after all her previous albums and song’s were slow growers, which whilst they sold excessive copies, they never reached number one because they weren’t as instantly popular as 1000 Stars.

Also I would like to point out that today I shamefully picked up the Herald Sun (It’s like Zoo Magazine* disguised as a newspaper) to read a 2 star review of 1000 Stars, a review which was all of 50 words long, and showed almost no knowledge of any of the songs on the album? If you’re going to review music, research it first, you need to know the background, and at the very least listen to the songs!

Music Video Review – Lady Gaga “Love Game”

Lady Gaga Channelling Britney Spears

Evidently, Lady Gaga has filmed two music video’s at once, because they have been released so closely together despite LoveGame’s release not even due yet in the United States for months. But first let me say, whilst the start of both the video’s seems cheap and tacky, just hold on a minute, bear with it, and BAM! You realise how good the video’s are.

However both videos make it very clear where Lady Gaga has gotten her inspiration and drive from, in Love Game we see Ms. Gaga revisiting the classic Michael Jackson dance for the “Bad” video, and she does it well, something which Love Game proves, she can really dance quite well!

Love Game is a fantastic song, and the music video encapsulates this, the energetic intense dancing which represents the beats in the song, and the inevitable and sort of creepy gyrating of the hips which obviously conveys the indiscreetly sexual nature of the song.

Lady Gaga’s crotch is mainly the subject matter of the first quarter of the video, and to be honest, she is a little bit too unflatteringly skinny to be wearing her outfits the way she is… “Downstairs” especially the chain mail chastity belt panties as I shall deem it that she thrusts at her backup dancers.

Gaga Chanelling Gwen Stefani

 

Lady Gaga’s crotch is mainly the subject matter of the first quarter of the video, and to be honest, she is a little bit too unflatteringly skinny to be wearing her outfits the way she is… “Downstairs” especially the chain mail chastity panties as I shall deem it that she thrusts at her backup dancers. 

Then we move into a bus where we see Lady Gaga looking like a dead ringer of Britney Spears, alongside snippets of her looking exactly like Britney when she wore Swarovski crystals in her Toxic videos.

Oh yes, and people said Katy Perry “Pushed a few buttons”, well if that is so, then in “Love Game” Lady Gaga Bashes those buttons with either a fork or her crotch, whichever you prefer. Lady Gaga makes out with a female cop, just as the words “It always starts the same, with a boy and a girl”, which personally I love, because she’s bringing another dimension to what she is saying, becuase to be honest that lyric without this fabulous soft-core cinematography would sound like your local catholic priest’s take on “The sanctity of marriage”.

After this Lady Gaga turns into an absolute dead ringer of Gwen Stefani, more so than she already is, she dresses exactly like Gwen did in her “Hey baby” video with No doubt, she even wears a boob tube that makes her look flat chested, this is no accident people! Then she grabs her smoking crotch and does a verbatim replica of Michael Jackson’s Bad dance, and she does it really, really well!

So it may sound like I didn’t enjoy the video, but the truth is, this is the sort of video I’ve been waiting for from Lady Gaga, Poker Face was good, but not great, Just Dance was just home-video quality, but Love Game is a true pop megastar video. The choreography is amazing and the camera work is phenomenal, this is truly a fantastic video, and Lady Gaga would do so well to just ditch the mankini and the chain mail chastity crotch guarding panty’s and to wear some hot pants… I’m not being prudish but it’s a little off putting and almost insanely contradictory, she’s practically wearing armor on her Swimsuit area and begging someone to have sex with her, is it her idea of birth control?

Listen First – Natalie Bassingthwaighte 1000 Stars

Natalie's Debut Solo Album **CLICK TO PREORDER**

Finally the much anticipated solo debut from Natalie Bassingthwaighte is going to be released this Friday, an album which should be likely to achieve a much more impressive debut than the albums two singles (which both had release issues despite the first going gold)

Here I have a few previews of some songs from the album, these are studio versions, and are featured on her myspace page but I thought I would put them up here for people to listen to, hopefully if you enjoy these songs you may want to go and purchase the album, something I highly would reccomend even if you live overseas.

CLICK THE IMAGE TO PRE-ORDER YOUR SIGNED COPY

So, if you do live overseas you are able to purchase online via Jb-HiFi one of the largest music retailer’s in Australia, where you can preorder signed copies of the album “1000 Stars” and they will be shipped to your door, the shipping will probably cost an extra 4-5 dollars but this album is slated to be a very very memorable one, Songs like Supersensual just give solid golden proof that Ms. Bassingthwaighte, is going to be the next Kylie Minogue, the next Australian Pop icon, except she will be more than that, because she has proved she can sing, write music, and is talented in so many different genres, which means she will be much more appealing to different demographics and most importantly unlike Kylie, the music is enjoyed by Guys as well as Girls.

Jessica Mauboy – “Burn” New Single

"Burn", The Single

Jessica Mauboy’s new number 1 single “Burn” has been physically released and is proving to be even more succesful than her previous hit “Running Back” with Flo Rida. The B-side “Runnin” was probably not included on the album “Been Waiting” due to the similar name to her double platinum debut single “Running Back Feat. Flo Rida”, but boy is it a great B-side! The B-side has  a suave and sexy electronic beat, in the vein of Kylie Minogue’s seductive single “Slow” (No coincedence considering the producers of the song worked with Kylie herself), alongside Mauboy’s distinct and strong vocals, each time she performs or releases a new song, she is constantly building up her image, she’s doing it the hard way, by herself, without the publicity tsunami of Australian Idol to thrust her into the spotlight.

The Physical CD Single has been released in Australia and I highly reccomend you download it from either Itunes or, better yet pay 3-4 dollars for the physical Cd single, a cheap price considering it has 4 cd quality tracks, and on Itunes that would cost $6.80 (For lower quality digital only songs?????? Why would you bother)

Burn Itself has lyrics as such

“I need a doctor cause this is starting to burn” and “I’m on fire, no way to cool me down, boy you’re burning me up”

which ironically aren’t some kind of subtle allusion, she’s talking directly and frankly about when she contracted an STD from her boyfriend and that is what made her realise that he was sleeping around, which Mauboy describes is why “I dumped his ass”. Good girl, good song, frank lyrics, a little filty but you get that!

Fortunetly the b-side “Runnin” has surfaced on youtube from a fan, so just watch the video below and tell me what you think! “Runnin’” was written by Mauboy, Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci and produced by Egizii and Musumeci
