Leona Lewis - NEW Album Photoshoot + NEW Music

Our British popstar Leona Lewis absolutely stunning on the cover of her new album, and the rest of the pictures speak of themselves! The London native looks ready to take on the charts again with her sophomore album 'ECHO'.I added a leak called *STONE HEARTS*, which is ANOTHER ballad from Leona. I guess her label are just on the 'If it ain't broke... why fix it?' type vibe. I would love to hear her do some more uptempo stuff because I'm flat out bored with the ballads!!

Justin Timberlake, Novel, Ne-Yo, and Ryan Tedder all made the cut on the Album that's due to be released November 17th!

Listen To Sugababes - About A Girl [Jade Verson]

CLICK TO DOWNLOAD - Sugababes * About A Girl [Jade Version]

There has been so much controversy surrounding the sugababes and their new line up lately, I'm surprised they've had time to promo a new single! 'About A Girl ' is the follow up to 'Get Sexy' by the trio, from their forth coming studio album 'Sweet 7'. The uptempo club song is produced by Red One, and is defo in keeping with their new sound. To be honest I much prefer the Keisha version because it makes the song more memorable! Keisha had one of those recognisable soulful voices, that Jade fails to bring to the track. Although I think they both have good voices, Keisha gets my vote on this one. A very catchy hook, and a summer clubbin vibe.... their fans will be happy with the turn out!

JLS - One Shot

First I thought it was gonna be a real slow jam, then the beat sped up and I thought it was a strict techno vibe, THHHEEENN they mixed the two together and left me feeling kinda confused about the direction of the song?! -sigh- I'm disappointed because I thought there would be more R'n'B efforts from the group, but I guess not. Well it is better than the cheesy 'Beat Again' single. I'm starting to care less and less about JLS.... and I LOVED them on X-Factor... ah wells :-(

Listen To Teairra Mari ft/Soulja Boy & Gucci Mane - Sponsor

Ive been a fan of Teairra's from DAY DOT! We actually played her CD so much in my friends car that EVERY SONG started skipping (lol). So I'm always excited to hear new material from her, and I wasn't disappointed with this leak!No one can deny Teairra's vocal talent, and I'm loving the way she's riding the track. Soulja & Gucci give the song a southern feel that fits perfectly with the hard knocking beat. I'm looking forward to Teairra's sophomore album.... BRING IT ORNN!

Oh My Dayum: 'Mathew Knowles Is My Baby Daddy' + Trey Puts it on the ladies!

A 30 something year old LA resident Alexsandra Wright (above) has filed a paternity suit claiming Beyonce and Solange’s daddy Mathew Knowles is HER baby’s daddy. And nope–the woman aint Mama Tina. According to TMZ:

We’ve learned Alexsandra Wright filed the case in L.A. County Superior Court. Wright lives in L.A. — she works in the name-branding business. We’re told she’s in her late 30s.

Wright, who is 6-months pregnant, filed the case last week, alleges Knowles is the father. Sources say Wright is repped by Neal Hersh, who is currently repping Lamar Odom in the prenup negotiations with Khloe Kardashian.

Quiet as kept, there have been rumors for a few years now that Tina–his wife of almost 30 years–and Mathew are separated, but not divorced. And there’s been rumors that Papa Knowles is indeed a Rolling Stone. So this paternity claim isn’t all that surprising. But still. Aint this some ish? I guaran-damn-tee you Tina’s got her bedazzler gun and wig glue on deck if either of them try to jump extra crazy though…-YBF

Trey Songs gave all the ladies a show this past weekend in Atlanta for homecoming(Oct 4th). I swear the best thing Trey did was to cut off his braids... put him in a WHOLE new light.... yummm!!

ummmm @ that last picture. [right click + save] LOL

Beyonce gets BillBoards WOTY award + Solange covers HONEY mag!

A few months ago, Billboard announced that the award winning wongstress (Beyonce Knowles) would recieve the coveted Woman Of The Year Award.

Billboards 4th Annual Women In Music event finally took place on October 2nd, in NYC. Bee arrived looking happy and cute in her ll light blue dress!Small recap of the event below:

Werde then introduced Billboard’s 2009 Woman of the Year recipient. “It is theoretically possible someone on some other planet had a better year than Beyonce,” he quipped. “But I’m not buying it.”

“It’s obvious how classy she is,” Werde said as he introduced Beyonce, who was accompanied by her mother and father, Matthew and Tina Knowles, and Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child. Beyonce accepted the award, remarking “I am the luckiest woman in the world.”

Beyonce then took the hot seat alongside radio personality and Oprah’s best friend Gayle King, for a Q&A during which she was probed about her relationship with husband Jay-Z, her position as a role model for young women, and her goals for the future. “I really want to win an Oscar,” she revealed.

Bee's lil sister Solange Knowles, is looking fab in her photoshoot & feature in 'Honey Magazines' latest issue! Solo speaks on her alleged romance with up and coming rapper Wale, Fashion & Music! Peep a lil snippet below

On her Parents:
It’s interesting that people think that my dad is the one who’s all strict. They build up quite a character with that guy, and at the end of the day it’s my mom who’s going to give you the neck roll.

On her new album:
It was definitely a concept record. I was really inspired by the ’60s and ’70s sound, mixed with electronic sounds and how to mash those together. With this record I am experimenting more with a really interesting mix of music. My describing it probably sounds crazy but I’m kind of working with tribal, Native American drums and mashing them with weird ’80s and blues.

On if she’s dating rapper Wale:
Well, he’s definitely not my boyfriend, but we are good friends. I have worked with him in the past and I think he’s uber-talented. I think he’s really smart and really creative. And I respect his art. We have a mutual thing. We’re on the same record label and yeah…[Source]

The 2009 MOBO Awards Review

The 2009 MOBO Awards Review [AKA] The MONSTROSITY that was the MOBO's!!

Monstrosity Meaning *Sense 2: "Something hideous or frightful" -http://www.audioenglish.net/dictionary/

I really don't know where to start. I didn't actually have high expectations for this awards show, but I felt some what optimistic and gave them the benefit of the doubt! For those of you who don't know what the MOBO AWARDS are, it's basically the UK's version of the BET AWARDS. The Music. Of . Black . Origin Awards took place in Glasgow this year, and despite the controversy surrounding the decision, it seems as though Scotland accepted the awards show with open arms.

THE WINNERS:
Best UK Act: N-Dubz (TINCHY STRYDER should have won, for what he's achieved this year)

Best Newcomer: JLS (Agreed)

Best Song– : 'Beat Again', JLS ( K.I.G FAMILY should have won for how big Heads Shoulders Knees & Toes was this year or #1 by TINCHY)

Best Album: 'Uncle B', N-Dubz (Wanted BASHY to win, for Catch Me If You Can)

Best DJ: Trevor Nelson (Agreed)

Best Hip Hop: Chipmunk (DRAKE best deserved this, BUT i'm glad they gave it to a UK artist)

Best R&B: Keri Hilson (Agreed)
Best International: Beyonce (Agreed)

Best Video: 'Single Ladies', Beyonce (Agreed)

Best Reggae: Sean Paul (kmt foolishness! VYBZ KARTEL should have won)

Best Jazz: Yolanda Brown (Agreed)

Best Gospel: Victizzle (Agreed)

Best African Act: Nneka (Agreed)

**ALL THE WINNERS WERE VOTED FOR BY THE PUBLIC**

THE WEIRD:

• Peter Andre, Peter flipping Andre!! What was up with the mini interviews he was doing backstage?! The MOBO team tried to make it different and 'fun', but it just looked awful and uncomfortable. "Who can guess the height of the next Diversity member to come from behind a screen..." WTF!?
• La Toya Jackson hopping onstage everytime someone had finished performing in the 'MJ Tribute section', to say "GOOD JOB, THAT WAS AWESOME!" Who's Idea was it to give La Toya a microphone?
• The Funky House Mini Performances! What was the point? it was like 10 seconds of each song to 'warm up the crowd'
  

THE GOOD:

• VV Brown's vocals on the last performance. She has a really nice voice!
• When they rolled the credits at the end!
• Reggie did a pretty okay job of hosting, and Keri was a TROOPER for sticking out till the end of the show LOL
  

THE BAD:

• -Sigh-...When Kanya King (MOBO Founder) walked onstage, I was disturbed by the 'piece' on her head. Their paying these women so much money, I KNOW homegirl can afford to bb message Kelly Rowland and ask her for the name of her weave consultant!
• The AWFUL banta between the presenters, and the hosts (Reggie & Keri Hilson). It was so cringe worthy and cheesy.....
• The fact that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who presented an award mentioned GlASGOW atleast twice! We get it already...
• Supposedly it was the 'MOBO awards' fault that Kelly Rowland missed her cue and it messed up her sound.
• JLS MIMING 'BEAT AGAIN'. I'm sorry, I find it so unacceptable that a group who came from a competition BASED ON LIVE SINGING, chose to mime.
• Keri Hilson's performance ft/Neyo-Cruz . This wasn't a very good/strong performance from Keri, when Taio Cruz sang Neyo's part it didnt make it any better.
  

THE HILARIOUS:

• Dappy's stage dive when everyone moved out the way.. LMAO!
• Egypt being OFF BEAT the whole time she sang 'In The Morning'
• Amir Khan messing up his words while presenting, LMAO bloody hilarious!
• When Dappy said 'BIG UP MY STYLIST' .LMAO@ them having a stylist
  

THE AWWW BLESS MOMENTS:

• When Shaheen Jafargholi sang the tribute to MJ (BGT Finalist)
• The fact that I don't think Keri Hilson really knew what she was getting herself into!
• When Tinchy Didn't get an award. He's defo come up this year and DESERVED an award.

THE VERDICT:

The show was HOT MESS this year! I expected nothing more or nothing less, so kudos on not disappointing. They should just do like Big Brother and know when the end of the road has come ; and this is the end of the road.
