Teairra Mari "U Know What It Is" Video Premiere

"U Know What It Is" is Teairra Mari's cover of/improvement on Wiz Khalifa's "Black & Yellow" off her latest mixtape The Night Before X-Mas. Actually, joke's on us: This is really a car commercial!

Listen to snippets of all 14 tracks off Nicole Scherzinger's debut album Killer Love, which will be released on March 21st in the UK, above. For reference, view the album's tracklisting below on the main page (at time of posting). I'm upset, yet not surprised, that "Say Yes" isn't "Just Say Yes", but otherwise, I'm pleased with what I'm hearing thus far!

1. Till The World Ends
2. Hold It Against Me
3. Inside Out
4. I Wanna Go
5. How I Roll
6. (Drop Dead) Beautiful (ft. Sabi)
7. Seal It With A Kiss
8. Big Fat Bass (ft. will.i.am)
9. Trouble For Me
10. Trip To Your Heart

16. Don't Keep Me Waiting

To be quite honest, if her mediocre second single "Till The World Ends" (listen below) is any indication, I'm not too optimistic about Femme Fatale. The whole house music sound is so obviously something the label was primarily aiming for & it's just not Britney.

Idol Review: Top 24

Best Guy: Jacob Lusk



Best Girl: Pia Toscano

It's hard to believe that we've already made it to the top 12 13 & this is just my first Idol Review of the season, but I always wait for the "live" shows to start things up again so that there's something to review & the semi-finals happened to be really short this season! That said, it didn't even take this long for season 10 to show its superiority to season 9 & in fact, it's already the best season of Idol since probably season 7... not that the top 24 couldn't have already been widdled down to less than the 13 easily. Let me make one thing clear: Jacob Lusk is this season's best contestant. The male Jennifer Hudson, if you will. Incredible! As far as the girls are concerned, my affections are split between Karen Rodriguez & Pia Toscano, the latter of which gave a performance this week that was the first glimpse of the talent Idol used to be chock-full of since Syesha three years ago, although Karen's (10-second clip of her) rendition of J.Lo's "If You Had My Love" from Hollywood blew my mind! Considering all of the aforementioned made the top 10 that America chose, I was pleased with the results revealed on tonight's episode. While they are the only ones I really care about, I think Lauren Alaina deserved her spot, as did Thia Megia if you consider who she was up against. He's not my style, but I don't hold Scotty McCreery's voice against him... othat than that, I don't really care for those that made the top 10. As for the wildcard situation, I'm glad things worked out nicely for Stefano Langone. He didn't earn his spot on Tuesday, but I knew he had potential & he showed it tonight. However, Ashthon Jones, the toneless wonder, & Naima Adedapo are just dead weight in the top 13--not that screecher Kendra Chantelle deserved it any more. The only person who was sent packing tonight that I think deserved a second chance & to make it to the top 13, based on Wednesday night's performance, is Lauren Tucker, but I'm not heartbroken or anything. Anybody else that either made it or not is so talentless that they aren't even worth me mentioning them. And thus, the best of season 10 is yet to come!

Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull "On The Floor" Video Premiere

"On The Floor", featuring Pitbull, is the first single off Jennifer Lopez's upcoming album Love? (April 19th). The video had an INCREDIBLE premiere slot right before the final results were revealed on tonight's American Idol. I like it, it's hot, & they even picked the ending I chose (the first one)! Wow, what a turnaround, success-wise, from "Louboutins"..!

Cassie "CK One" Commercial

Cassie is amongst those starring in a new ad campaign for CK One. I guess she's become a full-time model *sigh* Electro Love had such potential...

Christina Aguilera Joins "The Voice"

Christina Aguilera has signed on to join Adam Levine (of Maroon 5) & Cee Lo Green on NBC's The Voice, where she will act as both a judge & a coach to contestants of the singing competition. The Mark Burnett series premieres on Tuesday, April 26th. I had read a bit about this a while ago & thought about watching it, but they've definitely earned themselves a viewer in me now!

Nicole Scherzinger "Killer Love" Cover & Tracklisting

The time has come: Nicole Scherzinger is finally releasing an album! Granted, it is just in the UK & it's called Killer Love, but it arrives on March 21st--that's less than three weeks away! I'm not in love with the album title or cover, but I couldn't care less about them because it's all about the music, so check out the album's tracklisting below:

1. Poison
2. Killer Love
3. Don't Hold Your Breath
4. Right There
5. You Will Be Loved
6. Wet
7. Say Yes
8. Club Banger Nation
9. Power's Out (ft. Sting)
10. Desperate
11. Everybody
12. Heartbeat (Rudi Wells' Open Heart Remix ft. Enrique Iglesias)
13. Casualty
14. AmenJena

I know I should just be thankful & not nitpick, but that's what I do! First of all, I'm a bit surprised that "Cold" & "Guns & Roses" were left off; I wasn't in love with them, but I kinda like them better than the title track. I do think it's cool that she included "Heartbeat"... I don't know what's with the remix, but maybe it just has more vocals from her! I'm pleased to see "Power's Out" on here--she was so excited to record with Sting, so I'm glad this gem didn't go to waste. Last & most, I reeeally hope "Say Yes" is what I think it is!

Angels & Airwaves "Epic Holiday" Video Premiere

"Epic Holiday" is the second single to be taken from Angels & Airwaves' third album Love, the physical/double album/movie release of which has been postponed to the fall... because Tom likes to torture us by instead making punk music that everyone in the band has moved on from (well, Tom & Travis at least) purely for profit. And when I say second single, I use the term lightly because it's only being released in Germany, as it's featured in some movie (think Keri Hilson's "I Like").

JoJo Album Update

It was only a matter of time. JoJo has announced that her much-delayed third album will be called Jumping Trains instead of All I Want Is Everything. The new title comes from what will be the title track on the album. I couldn't really care less about what it's called, but especially since she put the song "All I Want Is Everything" on her mixtape, I think the change was due. I'm just ready for the music!
