5 Things We're NOT afraid to say!!

1. Girls Aloud Can Out-Perform Sugababes = FACT!

There's ALWAYS gonna be a comparison between girlbands who make similar music, even more so when the industry is as small as the UK's. I like the sugababes, and collectively as a group - they have the better VOCAL TALENT. But performance wise, Girls Aloud throw them under a bus!
Their fans often say their not a 'dancing' group, and thats fine! Alicia Keys doesn't dance, Kate Nash sits at a bloody piano and I am still entertained by their performances. They lack a certain charisma, that OMPH, that visible blood,sweat and tears passion..... On stage! To be blunt, there BORING live...

But Girls Aloud BRING IT 150% when they hit their live tours - singing,dancing, the theatrical aspect and pure enjoyment. Its entertaining!

(I do however want to credit the Sugababes for singing live, writing their own music, and their longevity throughout their career!)



2.Estelle can't really sing = FACT!

I love Estelle's delivery on tracks, and I was defo feeling her flow when she came out with '1980'! But the fact of the matter is, she doesn't have a GOOD singing voice. Personally I think she should stick to rapping, like she did way back when! Maybe it's because I'm such a music buff? I hear certain riffs or adlibs.... and I think to myself 'WOAH, what was that???'

If someone sends me a song where vocally Estelle is 'GETTIN IT'.... I will eat my words. Until then, I know ya'll where thinking it.....






3.Maybe It's about time you..Let It Go = HALF FACT!

I was one of their biggest fans, back in their 'B2K PHENOMENON' days. Fizz & Boog have just realised a new song, and I applaud their efforts... but without O and Raz-B, I just don't see the 'big come back' happening!

When you love music, I know it's all you see yourself doing. But it's been like 6 years.... I think they need to holla @ a 9-5 and call it a day, maybe music on the side perhaps? :-/... I mean that in the nicest way cos I still love them!

4.MOBO's becoming a joke? = FACT

I think its really great that the UK music scene can come together to celebrate Urban music, and the black talent that we have in the country. However as the years have gone by, the MOBO's have gotten worse and worse.. (I won't even talk about last year!) Ive even started to notice that BIG international acts, don't even turn up anymore! The show on a whole is going down hill. They need to get together and holla @ a note pad..... write down some ideas on how they plan to fix this mess!

This years gospel category was probably my first 'WTH?' reaction to the awards. There are so many artists who deserved to be in that category, and worked really hard over the past year (ie, Guvna B & Tye Tribett) - I was VERY disappointed @ that category! Ki Ki defo should have been nominated last year ..... and who in the name of N*Sync are Desire To Worship God!? :-|

(Shout out Livi and our discussion on this one lol)

5.Memo: Misteeq is over - FACT!

I could understand if they were doing promo because they had singles coming out, or solo albums, or were on a TV show, or a movie maybe? But I'm seeing these two popping up at current events everywhere. Alesha Dixon has gone on to launch her solo career and has been quite successful..... I know both of them are probably working on their solo efforts, HOWEVER.. someone please inform them that Misteeq split up 500 years ago -sigh-.... I mean that in the kindest way possible! Please stop trynna cling on to the 'fame'...

Kimberley Walsh The New Face Of Newlook + Alesha & a Mustang!

I'm actually REALLY glad Kimberley Walsh is stepping out on her own, and has become the new face of New Look's Autumn/Winter collection 2009!She is sometimes over shadowed by her very popular BFF (Cheryl Cole), but she actually has a nice voice and I think she's the 'SEXIEST' out of the goup. The collection is looking pretty kool, and at an affordable price! The curviest member of Girls Aloud is looking hella cute in these shots... you better go Kimba!

“At 29 years old, Kimberley Walsh is a true star in Britain,” the brand enthused in explanation of its choice. “With a look that’s half-rock, half-babydoll and a physique to rival Beyoncé, she is the pop phenomenon of recent years. ‘Girls Aloud’ is the biggest group in the UK at the moment and has already sold close to 5 million records around the world!” By Jonathan Fulwell

Alesha Dixon & Fern Cotton were spotted a few weeks ago enjoying the California sunshine! They took a drive in a convertible Mustang and made a stop at Shutters by the Beach in Santa Monica, CA. Alesha & Fern completed the climb to Mount Kilimanjaro earlier this year, for comic relief!

**Throwback Clip**

I'm sure most of you remember Alesha Dixon's split from her ex husband, so solid front man MC Harvey! He cheated on her with Javine (Most memorable/or not.. from 'Pop Stars The Rivals'). Well Jamelia had a few words to say on the matter when she appeared on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' a few years ago. I thought this was bloody hilarious... LMAO!

Lips 'n' Alesha

Alesha Dixon was spotted shopping at Lipsy in London! She's been in the headlines lately for replacing 66 year old Arelene Phillips on Strictly Come Dancing.

It is a bit shady that they fired Arelene & hired Alesha due to the ageism issue.. BUT.. Alesha is fly and can dance her ass off! I think she'll give the show a little face lift (no pun intended lol).
