[Watch] Lady Gaga Covers "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", Live


Lady Gaga has a new album to promote, didn't cha know?! Well, it's not strictly just a Gaga affair. In tow is legendary crooner Tony Bennett, with who she has collaborated on said album, Cheek to Cheek (is it wrong that that title makes me smirk?).

[Album Review] Kylie + Garibay - "Sleepwalker" EP




Kylie Minogue's last album, Kiss Me Once, didn't exactly set the world alight with its over-produced brand of pop. Though I enjoyed the LP- not as much as her previous releases, mind- something just didn't ring true with its direction or sound. It was as if the album was missing its heart, being a music by numbers creation, rather than a labor of love.

However, Kylie seems to have overcome this with her new EP, Sleepwalker.

Teaming up with music producer Garibay- who has worked with Lady Gaga and Britney Spears- the duo have crafted four tracks that sound so much more "Kylie" than anything found on Kiss Me Once.

[New Music] Azealia Banks - "Chasing Time"



Azealia Banks has been giving me all kinds of life with her new song, Chasing Time, since it hit earlier in the week.

[Music Video] Cyndi Lauper and Sara Bareilles - "Truly Brave”



We all like to support a good cause, and it looks like Cyndi Lauper and Sara Bareilles are no different. The pair have released a mash-up of two of their songs to raise awareness- and money- for pediatric cancer. The blurb from the YouTube video covers the specifics:

Introducing Jo Hamilton ( I Love This Diva)



I'm a big Jo Hamilton fan, so I'm wondering why I've never featured her on the blog before.

I think my thought process behind this travesty was that I discovered her a while after her first album had been released. Thus, I must have been waiting for some new material from the singer-songwriter to showcase to all of you. However, somehow I missed the release of the video for song Think Of Me back in February, and so a perfect opportunity to create a post slipped by.

[Watch] Ariana Grande Attempts Jessie J's "Bang Bang" climax! Sucessfully or Not, You Decide!



Jessie J is a vocal beast. I can't deny that- can you?! Case in point, the vocal during the bridge of her latest single Bang Bang.

[Free For All Friday]



This cat speaks to me...it really does....

If you don't know the score, here be the rules:
  • Try not to get too perverted- this site needs to basically be "safe for work".
  • If somebody starts a controversial subject, try keeping it civil when dealing with it. If things get out of hand please flag the conversation.
  • It would be nice if it stuck to music, but it's not a requirement! So talk about news, current events, how you're getting your hair done next time you hit the hairdresser! Whateves, really!
  • No nasty comments aimed at other users.
Inappropriate hugs to all of y'all (hi-fives to the underagers), and wishing you an awesome weekend!

[Music Video] Anastacia - "Staring At The Sun"


The video for Anastacia's dramatic new single, Staring At The Sun, has debuted on Vevo.

Sounding like a mash-up of the pop and theater world, Staring At The Sun has Anastacia delivering drama and break-ups. It's a catchy song, all right, but I wish the production had been a smidgeon darker- to really match the Diva's delivery. Still, it is great to hear the American's unique pipes over new material.

[Music Video] Annie Lennox- "I Put A Spell On You"



Tis the season of the cover album, or so it seems! Barbra Streisand has just delivered hers, in the form of LP Partners- from which we saw a few songs performed on the Tonight Show- and now follows (another) veteran Diva: Annie Lennox.
