Album Review: New Kids On The Block's"10"

As the music video for their new single 'Remix (I Like The)' shows, New Kids On The Block still own a brilliant sense of humour. What's more, while the clip - which sees an initially shy fan played by It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia actress Artemis Pebdani strutting her stuff at a pool party - is a knowingly self-aware nod to them and their fans entering their mature years, the song itself is a ...

The good news with "American Idol" this week? Apparently 'Motown Week' means less ballads on the singing competition, which after the last few weeks is a welcome respite indeed (let's thank Smokey Robinson, the mentor this evening). The bad? It's down to the top eight and still needs to fill two hours, so it's time for group performances! While that may not sound like a poor proposition, remember that this is the ...

... and in more exiting Iggy News, Hunger magazine decided to honor women who rock for its upcoming Spring/Summer 2013 edition and chose some worthy candidates. R&B (misguided) songbird Rita Ora and rapper Iggy Azalea are among the female superstars gracing the covers of the U.K. publication’s “Girls” issue. The pair joins pop singer Jessie J, atl-rocker Grimes and U.K. songbirds A*M*E and Gabrielle Aplin, who all appear on the mag’s six collective covers. (all inside)

I love this track so much i could not resist reviewing it! She may have only signed a record deal earlier this year, but Iggy Azalea's colourful CV already boasts two mixtapes, a dedicated global following, bagfuls of online acclaim and a Twitter row with the similarly-monikered MC Azealia Banks. In fact, the only thing stopping her from graduating to superstar status is a ...

John Mayer had some Botox done, but he's not just (trying to conjure up) another pretty face. The singer and guitarist has been on a vocal hiatus, due in large part to severe health issues that left him all but silenced. Mayer eventually connected with Dr. Steven Zeitels, a laryngeal expert who rocketed to fame when Adele thanked him at the Grammys. (Zeitels has also worked with Roger Daltrey and Steven Tyler.). After extended periods of voice rest, it became clear Zeitels' combination of surgery and Botox injections ...

Carlos Ferra gets back to basics as the face, and the body, for Bless Jewelry’s latest advertising campaign.

This story is just too funny! American reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, has denied tweeting hate words about Nigeria and her women. A “photoshopped” image of a parody twitter handle had shown how Kardashian tweeted about Nigeria being such a disgusting country with women who look like apes. “I see there is a photo shopped tweet floating around, supposedly something I said about Nigeria. That was not me or my feelings,” she said. “The fake tweet is very disturbing and I will never ever tweet something like that,” she added.

Despite a stray listing on Daft Punk's Vevo page, the duo won't be appearing at the Coachella Music Festival this year, according to Rolling Stone.

Lil Wayne should earn the highest debut on next week's Billboard 200 chart, as the rapper's new album, "I Am Not a Human Being II," is on course to arrive at No. 2. Industry sources suggest the set could sell around 190,000 to 210,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, March 31.

That likely won't be enough to knock the current king of the chart -- Justin Timberlake -- out of the No. 1 slot with his "The 20/20 Experience." It launched at No. 1 this week with ...

In the heyday of "American Idol," the notion that it could fall ratings victim to a zombie slugfest or standard crime drama would have been laughable. That was then. With Fox's singing contest shedding about 20% of its audience so far this season to hit new lows, it's been leapfrogged repeatedly in total viewers by series including the CBS procedurals "Person of Interest" and "NCIS." In a harsher blow to a blockbuster that once ruled the advertiser-adored young adult segment, "American Idol" has been overtaken this season by...

New Video: Tonto's "HI"

There are too many good thing elements here that are totally misused. The song itself has this dub-step, syth infuded techno sound (kinda like Calvin Harris or Skrillex) which i love cause nobody this side of the pond is being that innovative yet but what in Gods name is she singing about?!! The video is supposed to be about a young "female" newspaperboy (does this happen in Nigeria and if so do girls/women do it?) who sees a lovely crib and immediately in visions Poko palace or something? and there shes transformed and is the queen and jumps up nd down. all while repeating "Hi". Even elements of the video strike me as the director having qualifications but the direction could use some work and the song strangles all artistry that tries to thrive here. Another failed attempt Poko queen (P.S. if LionsGate catches you people using their logo visuals, na una know oh)

Twitter has now become the stake on which musicians self hang themselves to burn by sharing too much of their opinions on other singers but in the bigger picture, calling R&B songstress Kelly Price "fat" is not going to hurt her feelings. At least that is what she said after a heated group of Mariah Carey fans attacked her Sunday. It all started with the following comment on Twitter: "I'm yrs late on this one but I'm looking at a concert on tv right now of a certain "singer" and asking myself what happened to ur voice? Sometimes the gimmick goes too far. One day u go to sing and realize it ain't happening. This is making my throat hurt."

Now she didn't say Mariah Carey's name, but some fans say Mariah had a concert that was airing on TV Sunday night and it just had to be her that Kelly was referring to. Then the blasting came full force!!!!

I saw her on TV performing this song and her first single as well at Iyanya's Abuja Album Launch concert and it definitely stuck out as talent to me (especially when she sang an accapella version of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You").
