The holiday season is coming upon us and I must say that nothing says holidays like a Cee Lo Green Christmas album. I there is no sarcasm when I say this because I think a Cee Lo Christmas album would be bangin!
Apparently he will be putting his own unique twist on classics such as "This Christmas", "Silent Night" and "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch". The best part about this Christmas album is that he will be working with 19 Former Voice contestants.
"I have truly kept my word and remained committed to everyone," is what Cee Lo said when asked about working with his former team.
"All of my people are coming from season 3 as we stand, and I am going back to season 1 getting Nakia, Nicci, Vicci, Jamar and Chessa."
This Christmas album is to be entitled "Cee Lo's Magic Moment" and is set to be released on October 30, 2012. I will be ready to download this to start my holiday season of right!
I think I am going to have to do some research on what actually makes a person a "star". I say this because I just do not understand why Bristol Palin qualifies as a "star" and has therefore made it to the all star "Dancing With The Stars" season. To top things off she is still there...dancing. Not only is she not a star in my eyes but she also is not much of a dancer either. This is an issue that continues to frustrate me since I am a huge dancing with the stars fan. The actual stars that truly deserve to make it to the finale never do. Unfortunately they succumb to low votes and have to leave early. While meritless stars like Bristol Palin continue to dance without having any rythm or timing whatsoever. Well, if you got a chance to catch last nights episode of "Dancing With The Stars" then you know that Bristol is starting to think along the same lines at least according to a comment that she made to her dance partner/teacher.
"I know you're bummed that you don't have Sabrina or Shawn"
Of course Mark Ballas responded in a way that would ease her worries and hopefully lift her self esteem. This would be the correct way to respond. Yet, it does not change the fact that she can't dance and she is not a star. Am I the only one willing to say this? I guess so. Oh well, it is my opinion and also happens to be the truth. What I cannot deny is her voter following. She must be getting votes from all those people who also believe they have talent but really don't.
Before the two female American Idol judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj even began to start taping we had all been hearing the rumors of the two not being the best of friends. It's rumored that Mariah Carey had intended to be the only female judge on this season of American Idol so when deals were made for Nicki Minaj to also be a judge it was definitely the start to their very volatile relationship. The highlight of this hostile relationship being the recently leaked clip of the auditions in Charlotte where Nicki Minaj threatens to knock Mariah Carey out. If you have not seen this video then you have to check it out below.
After this video came out the two apparently had a meeting where they both decided to "get along" and move forward. If you are a fan of televisions "The View" then you know that Mariah had no such plans to move forward without saying just one more thing. She had a little "pow wow" with Barbara Walters and told her that Nicki threatened to shoot her if she had a gun. Oh my goodness, things sure are taking an ugly turn. What surprises me most is that Nicki is supposedly shocked that Mariah decided to share this information since they are supposed to be trying to move past their issues. Why would she be shocked? Personally, if someone had threatened to shoot me I think I would definitely try to let everyone I know about that. Umm, Mariah honey, if you haven't already I think it is time for you to beef up security. Mariah just wants to let people in on the character of the person she has to share a judges table with.
Well, this seasons is sure to be entertaining but not for the reasons it should be. It is no longer about the aspiring talent but the increasing tension between Nicki and Mariah.
Check out Jay-Z on the subway in route to a performance at the Brooklyn Barclay Center last Saturday night. The sight of Mr. Carter on the subway created sheer pandamonium and rightfully so if I do say so myself. Oh How I wish I could have been on that subway when HOV appeared. Those are some lucky fans!
If you are anything like me you were not fortunate enought to catch the eight sold-out shows in which Jay-Z performed at the Barclay Center. Yes, he shut it down out in Brooklyn (at least that is what I heard) Do not fret my fellow Hov fan, Jay-Z will be putting out an EP of selected songs featured in the Barclay performances. The best part is that we will not have to wait long as this EP will be available on Tuesday October 9, 2012 and is to be entitled "Live In Brooklyn". It's to included 8 songs and videos for you listening and viewing pleasure. Oh what a treat, I cannot wait to hit Itunes tomorrow and download my copy.
Jay is such a genourous guy because not only is he providing us with this mini EP but he also gave some Brooklynites the chance to see him in person with out even having a ticket when he decided to take the subway to the Barclay Center last Saturday. Apparently this was the first time in 18 yrs that he has taken this form of public transportation and from the looks of the video I can definitely see why. All for the fans though which is why you just gotta love HOV!
What is it with performers puking on stage nowadays? I am starting to think that this is being done intentionally as a way to show their adoring fans just how cool it is to be so wasted that you have to puke while in the midst of doing you job.
If you are wondering what I am talking about, take a look at the above video of Lady Gaga throwing up on stage whilst performing "Edge of Glory" in Barcelona, Spain this past weekend. What is most impressive about this is how she almost seamlessly works the act of regurgitation into her dance routine with the hunky male dancer. Yes Mz Gaga I must give you points for this one. She also has a good sense of humor about being caught in the act. She posted the above video on Twitter with this caption
"was praying nobody saw but actually it's quite a good laugh if you need one! Check out Lady PukeGa doing Swan 'Vomit' Lake."
Way to go Gaga, you sure know how to be a good example to all your little monsters out there. But what am I saying...I really would not expect anything less from you. So with that being said you have met and exceeded my expectations of you.
As I am sure you have all heard by now that the 2012 BET Awards was recently taped in Atlanta and of course it could not be complete with out some sort of incident.As expected, a fight broke out between Young Jeezy and Rick Ross.I look forward to the day when a Hip Hop BET Awards show can be completed with out the almost ceremonial fist fight.Thanks to Jeezy Jeezy and my boy Rick Ross we are gonna have to wait until next year for another chance at the BET Awards without violence.
The taping took place at the BoisfeuilletJonesAtlantaCivicCenter which apparently had to be locked down due the fight between the two Hip Hop rappers. Of course the fight did not end with just a few jabs thrown between the two artist, oh no, it then moved to the parking lot of the CivicCenter where gunshots where later heard.Check out video below of the backstage brawl at the BET Awards taping.
No one seems to know what started the fight.Young Jeezy and Rick Ross have worked together in the past but for the last several years there has been a feud between the two Hip Hop BET Awards performers.Apparently the two had some unkind words for each other backstage and the fight just escalated from there. I am truly getting tired of the unnecessary fighting Hip Hop industry. This act is definantly getting old. One would think that we have learned from the senseless murder of Notorious B.I.G and Tupac Shakur but I guess not.It’s time to grow up.It is no longer cool to act like a thug.
TMZ later reported that Atlanta police did confirm that there was a fight however there were no arrest made.
The holiday season is coming upon us and I must say that nothing says holidays like a Cee Lo Green Christmas album. I there is no sarcasm when I say this because I think a Cee Lo Christmas album would be bangin!
