I’ve missed you, Celine!

Embarrassing from start to finish.

This is Alicia Keys‘ new single off her upcoming album As I Am which drops in November–apparently the same week as Britney’s album. I like the hook, but I can’t stand the way she sings in this song. It sounds like she’s got a pen lodged in her nose or something.

Katharine McPhee’s new song Love Story is a million times better than that generic mess Over It and luckily the video is better than that of the latter as well.

I love the performance scenes! Especially that one part at the end where she just throws herself back. Fierce!

I haven’t been the biggest fan of his last couple albums–I still don’t believe they lived up to Poses, but this new album Release The Stars is great, and so is the first single. I keep repeating this video over and over. I love it!

I still really don’t like the song. One, because it sounds like something from Breakaway 2.0, and two, because she’s screaming throughout the entire song. The video’s cool, though. This album better be good.

So I was watching VH1 late last night–well not really watching it, just kind of listening to it as it was on in the background–and all of a sudden this song came on that made me get off my bed, climb down the ladder, and walk over to the TV to see what and who was playing because it was lovely. It’s called “You Give Me Something” and it’s by a British singer named James Morrison.

He apparently toured with Corinne Bailey Rae (another singer I adore), and I’m pissed because he’s playing at the Knitting Factory here in New York City and of course it’s sold out. Oddly, he does sort of look like a mix between Chris Martin of Coldplay and James Blunt.

His voice is beautiful–he really reminds me of like a mix between Gavin DeGraw and Ray LaMontagne, and his music is like collard greens and corn bread with some cherry Kool-Aid. It just really makes you feel good. Light, breezy, soulful. I love him. Enjoy.

Wow, what a sucky video. What was the budget? 60 dollars?

The only part that was even remotely interesting was when they were dancing together in the rain–and even then the
choreography looked like something my sister would come up with for her pom pom
squad.

Tsk, tsk, Beyonce. I love it. First she’s black, then white, now she’s hispanic.

Guess the video lived up to quality of the song. Cheap, generic, boring. It’ll
be a number one hit!

Wow, this is her best video since Dirrty. The prodigal daughter of Madonna is right, bitches! And of course the men in uniform are hot. Talk about the gayest video ever. I love it!

Watch closely and you’ll see Benji from So You Think You Can Dance.

Will Christina finally get the number one she deserves? Full review to come later.

The video was supposed to premiere today, but RCA needed to do a few more tweaks before releasing it. They did give us a sneak peek however, on TRL.

I can’t wait! She looks fucking hot!
