Cheryl Impresses With New Video "For Call My Name"!



Simply "Cheryl" has ratcheted up the visuals in the accompanying video for new single, Call My Name, in the hope it’ll get us to spend our hard earned- insert relevant currency- on her comeback. Well, I suppose she has to now as she’s hasn't got that easy X-Factor money to fall back on.

But to be fair, no one can call Cheryl a slacker when it comes to her promos. Very much aware of her own strengths- which have always been more visual than audible- Cheryl has embraced them fully here and turned out perhaps her best video to date. Or at least a close second to Parachute.

Tulisa Surprises With Her Cover Of "Titanium"



I never much cared for her music with the group N-Dubz, and haven't liked her new song Young; but I've always thought there was something interesting about X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos' voice.

Taking to the microphone at Radio 1's Über cool Live Lounge, Tulisa took on Sia and David Guetta's belter of a track Titanium. An apt song choice considering all the controversy surrounding her and that tape at the moment...nuff said.

Lana Del Rey Performs "Blue Jeans" on "The Voice".



Now, Lana, you know I love your sound, your recording voice, and your ability to write an engaging song. In fact your album, Born To Die, is still up there with my favourite releases of the year. I've also tried to see the positives in all your shaky, live performances. After all, you are a new artist. But your latest rendition of Blue Jeans on The Voice was just so bad I'm not even going to try defending it.

You are supposed to be getting better with all the practice, not worse!

Alexandra Burke Performs "Let It Go" On "The Voice"

Out to prove she is a Diva who can sing and dance at the same time, Alexandra Burke took to the stage at the finals of the Irish version of The Voice to perform Let It Go. It's the second single to be lifted from her, as yet unreleased, album Heartbreak On Hold and it follows the UK top three hit single, Elephant.

The voice was there on the night, and she had the steps down, but the overall package was strangely unpolished, and lacklustre. This wasn't helped by the dance crew, who were dressed to look "street" and "hip" but instead gave the performance a feel more akin to that of a rehearsal. It was a vibe propagated by the main vocal, which contained way too much silence and space within it that ultimately messed with the flow of the song.

Katy Perry Performs "Part Of Me" Live At American Idol

Katy Perry really followed through with the military theme of the promo for Part Of Me when she took it live to the stage at American Idol. Arriving from the rafters with her platoon, as if airlifted in, I had unjustifiably high hopes for this performance. But boy, was it pitchy! It wasn't even as if the dancing made up for it, or excused it, because that was flat and lacking energy.
