[Watch] Lana Del Rey Covers "Blue Velvet" For H&M

With Lana Del Rey's unique look and style it wasn't going to be long before she was snapped up to be a clotheshorse for one brand or another. I was just expecting it to be something a little more upmarket than High Street chain H&M. However, it's not the sponsor itself that we're concerned with here: it's the new music!!

[Vocal Profile] Vanessa Amorosi

 Vanessa Amorosi

Vocal Type: Falcon Soprano
Whistle Register: Yes
Vocal Range: F2-F6 (4 Octaves)
Longest Note:20 seconds
Vocal Pluses:A well structured voice; strong from the lowest depths of the voice to the soprano heights. Demonstrates agility across all registers of the voice allowing for the production of complex melisma, and fast transitions throughout the voice. Often displaying this through the ability to replicate guitar solos (See " I Wanna Be Your Everything, Jumpin' Jack Flash, My Problem Is You"). Able to apply a raspy texture throughout the belting range with a neutral larynx and in a healthy manner. Incredible breath control allows for long phrases, sustained notes and periods of uninterrupted melisma. 

The lower register carries a full, dark and heavy sound and achieved with a large quantity of freedom and ease [see Off On My Kiss]. The mid-range is capable of producing a large column of sound and sustain notes for substantial amounts of time [see Heroes Live Forever, Suns Up].

[Watch] Nelly Furtado Not Giving A Damn Performing On "Red Or Black"

Erm, I can't remember the last time I wanted a Diva's voice to be turned down and the backing-track to be turned up, but Nelly Furtado's performance of Big Hoops (Bigger the Better) on English "entertainment" (not the adjective I'd use) show Red Or Black was definitely one of those moments.

If the increased nasality- wow I thought I'd made that word up, but spell check isn't arguing with me, so I'm using it- wasn't enough, Nelly just didn't seem to give a fig muffin: speak-singing through some of it, singing off key at other moments and just lacking any of that indestructible spirit (see what I did there?). Not her finest moment. Not by a long shot.

[Watch] Pink Performs At The 2012 Itunes Festival

Are you desperate to know what P!nk is bringing with next album, The Truth About Love? You could just wait till it's released on the 18th of September, but really, who likes waiting?  Instead, watch the fiery singer showcase some of the new tracks, along with some of her classics, during her 80-minute Itunes Festival set, below.

I haven't watched all of it, I'm pretty sure it's going to get taken offline at some point soon, so I thought I'd quickly share it with you guys and gals while it's still there in cyberspace. Enjoy! I will!

Mariah Carey Impresses With Jazz Performance In New York

You guys asked for it, so here it is: Mariah Carey freestyling with the house Jazz band in a New York bar! Shot on the same day as her (not so great) set at the NFL Kickoff [read about it/watch it here], the songbird showed that, when in her vocal comfort zone, she can still deliver the goods.

[Review ] Christina Aguilera: "Your Body"

All those suffering from a Christina Aguilera deficiency can rejoice, as new single, Your Body, has debuted in its mastered version! Produced by Max Martin/Savan Kotecha, Your Body is a sexually charged anthem that reveals-in quite explicit detail- a certain diminutive, blond, Diva out on the prowl. "What for?" you ask. "Your Body," of course!

[Watch] Colton Haynes Joins Leona Lewis In "Trouble" Music Video

The video for Leona Lewis' new single, Trouble, has hit the net. Co-starring Teen Wolf actor Colton Haynes as the Diva's other half in this troubled relationship, the video charts the breakdown of their once happy life together via a series of flashbacks.

I think "edgy" and "realness" is what the director was going for- check out the constantly shifting camera, muted colour scheme, and "urban" setting- but as for most things Leona Lewis (other than her voice) it's strangely lifeless and dull. An odd result considering the acting isn't half bad.
