Yes, she is twerking! And that's not the worst of it. She also tries to look gangsta and sexy and fun and she fails miserably in all of those categories. What the hell happened to this girl? She used to be, okay-ish, but ever since she became Maxim's hottest chick, she has been trying too hard. I wasn't a fan of Miley's before, and I definitely won't start being her fan now. We Can't Stop video is just a mess. I didn't like the song, I don't like the video, Miley, please just go away. And it's not necessary that you come back. Ever.
I've never really been a big fan of Nelly. He had some OK songs, but most of them are just not my taste. But when you get Pharrell and Nicki Minaj on your single, you know everybody's gonna love it. Yup, Nelly has both of these mega-popular artists on his single Get Like Me. The song is a nice R&B jam with Pharell's relaxing vocals and Nicki's cool rapping verse. Even Nelly's part is appealing to me. The song is hot and it's for a summer party on some beach. If Nelly continues to release songs like this, I might even become a fan.
With summer officially beginning in just one day, artists are linning up to release summer party anthems. And Lethal Bizzle is the latest addition to that line. He has joined forces with Ruby Goe (whoever that is) and released Party Right. The song is an amazing summer gem, but in Bizzle's style. There's rapping, Ruby's parts are pop-ish, and the dance breaks are wicked. It's a perfect mix for this summer parties. Gotta say this guy just keeps surprising me with good songs, but I see him not having much success in the UK. Will this song change that?
Lauren Bennett, Paula Van Oppen, Simone Battle, Emmalyn Estrada and Natasha Slayton are all names we have previously heard were supposed to be the new Pussycat Dolls. But now according to Robin Antin, there is a possibility the original Dolls will make a re-union, so the Pussycat Dolls name is reserved for them. So what did Robin decide to do with these girls? Make a new girl group of course! Judging by the first single and some promo photos, the group is supposed to look fun and crazy and not slutty which is not bad. But the bad thing is that their single Vacation is not that good as well. It's a fun catchy song, but it's definitely not a hit you need when launching a new group. But, there are other ways these girls are getting promoted. When you buy Britney's new single Ooh La La, you get Vacation for free. Yup, the girls are trying to make a name for themselves through Britney. A smart move? We'll see. I just hope the next single is better since they are supposedly working with Dr. Luke and Larry Rudolph.
Ricky Martin is currently one of the coaches on the Australian version of The Voice and he is actually trying to take advantage of the spotlight he is under right now. Smart move. He decided now is the perfect time for a comeback single. And that single has been released a couple of days ago. Come With Me is a club banger, a solid dance song, something you might expect from Ricky, but it's still a bit unexpected. It's definitely one of his best songs I have heard in a long time. I am sure it is not the hit that will again have the entire world shaking their bums to a Ricky Martin song, but it's good enough to be a hit in Australia and maybe in Europe. Anyway, I think Ricky is heading in the right direction with this song.
We still remember well the girls who came up third in the US X Factor. They were all pretty, had nice voices, nice harmony, and good song choices. So, when I heard they released their debut single, I was really eager to hear it. I wasn't thrilled after I heard Miss Movin' On for the first time. And the feeling stayed the same after a few spins. I think these girls are talented and they could really be a successful group, but with songs like this, I don't think they can reach a high level of fame. I mean, c'mon, Simon Cowell was these girls' mentor, you'd think their debut single would be fire, but it's really not. Take a listen below, and see it for yourself.
