Mariah Carey/Eminem Saga! (sigh)

Wow! Eminem has hit back at Mariah Carey with his newly released song, "The Warning". The track sees an upset Em 'dissing' Mariah about their so called relationship a few years back. While pretty harsh and typical of the emcee, one has to wonder if the relationship did really occur. If not, then why is there such a fuss about it?

Either way, I'd like the truth and hopefully this will now bring closure to the issue as Mariah first spoke about it in her 2002 (yes, 7 years ago) album "Charmbracelet" and I really think it's getting a bit old now.

Take a listen to the song here and let me know what do you think?

Whitney Houston Wins!

So after much delay, we finally have results from the poll which has been up for a while. "Who's album are you most anticipating?" Whitney Houston clearly won, with 80% of the voters saying they are looking forward to her now titled "I Look To You" project the most. Mariah Carey's upcoming project, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" was the runner up with a mere 11% of the votes while Toni Braxton received 9% and Mary J Blige 1%.

Vote on the new poll question, "Who is to blame for the Mariah/Eminem saga?" now! Do you think the charts will reflect the results from the poll?

So, after P!nk cancelled her show last week in Brisbane I was quite disappointed. However, last night the postponed event took place at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. It was my first time going to the BEC and seeing P!nk so it was quite an exciting evening.
After arriving a bit late for the starting time (8:15) I was a bit concerned that I'd miss the opening, but to my amazement the show only kicked off an hour later! Besides the delay, P!nk put on a great show and stopped every now and again to chat to the crowd (they were eating her sense of humour up). The setlist was kept the same.
Overall it was a great show. I'm not the biggest P!nk fan but it was a great night out and I wouldn't mind seeing her again sometime.

Related: How on earth does she perform the same show 58 times in Australia? Doesn't she get bored?! Check out some of my pics below and let me know what you think.

Jay-Z, RiRi & 'Ye - Run This Town

The lead single from rap superstar Jay-Z's highly anticipated "The Blueprint 3" has hit the airwaves. The track, titled "Run This Town" features pop sensation Rihanna and egoscentric Kanye West and should see Jay right up on the charts. Listen to the track here and let me know what you think!

Mary J Blige Update!

The Soul/HipHop Queen, Mary J Blige will release her follow up album to 2007's "Growing Pains" on 24 November. The album, tentatively titled "Stronger" is preceeded by the single "The One" featuring Canadian rapper Drake. The second single has apparently been confirmed as the title track, "Stronger". Listen to the "Stronger" demo featuring Chris Brown on background here and let me know what you think!

Mariah Carey Update!

As you may know, Mariah's upcoming album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" has been pushed back to 15 September. The move comes after the lead single "Obsessed" failed to make a lasting impact on the charts, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. In other news, a song titled "100%" has apparently been played on US radio station Hot97. This has lead many to believe that the Jermaine Dupri and Brian Michael Cox track will serve as the second single. I have yet to hear the track, but I think this may be a wise decision (let "Obsessed" fail and make it up with a second single). After hearing The Dream's "I Can't Wait To Hate You" I was really hoping that it would be chosen as a second single but we'll have to wait and see. Let me know what you think!

David Guetta & Akon - Sexy Bitch

David Guetta serves up the second single from his upcoming album, "One Love". The track, titled "Sexy Bitch" features Konvict rapper Akon and sees Guetta taking us back to the dance floor. This should be received positively after the huge success of the lead single, "When Love Takes Over" with RnB superstar Kelly Rowland. Listen to the track and let me know what you think.
Related: Word has it that Kelly and David have another collab on this album which I'm really anxious to hear.

Pink Cancels Brisbane Show!

Well, I had bought tickets for one of the 58 P!nk concerts in Australia and the concert was scheduled for tonight. I drove an hour and a half to get to the venue (Brisbane Entertainment Centre) only to be told while driving in that, "The show has been cancelled because she has laryngitis. It has been postponed to next week.". I was really disappointed and I thought the promoters could of let us concert goers know before we all made the trek out to the venue. Oh well, my review of the show will be up next Tuesday.

I think the track sounds amazing and I really can't wait to hear Mariah's spin on it. I really hope she's added a few lyrics of her own and some of her signature vocals as this could be another SMASH!
