Girlicious

ok everyone, if you aint heard of this new group who can give all dem girl bands a run for their money, then where da hek hav u been at.from left(Christina,Nichole,Natalie,Tiffany), I have to admit dat at first I weren't too sure dat dis Girlicious thing would work but when i saw and heard there official video/song I was very shocked. I mean, they are a bit unorganised in da video but apart from dat they can all sing (only 2 chiks from pussy cat dolls can actually sing,lol,not to say dat dats a bad thing) anywhuz, these Girlicious girlies are well choreographed, I have to admit that they do dress a bit slutty tho, which is not very surprising compared to how other girl bands are dressing nowadays(leave something for the imagination girls), they are a well put together group when you put all dat negativity on da side and I have to give the creator of the Pussycat Dolls Robin Antin props for creating a big competition for all these otha girl groups out der, they betta watch they spot, because Girlicious are on they're way to stardom.
here da official video for their debut single "Like Me"
Great ad libs by Tiffany


Girlicious "Like Me"

New Music: Rihanna

Heres 'Disturbia' a brand new track from the re-release of Rihannas 'Good Girl Gone Bad' album due out on 17th June. While current no1 single 'Take a bow' was a solid effort this is a step back IMO. There are far better tracks such as 'Sell Me Candy' ,anyone who knows me knows how much I love that song, and 'Rehab' on the original album so why they've chosen to put out this mess is beyond me.
Anyway check it out and share your thoughts.

Listen to DISTURBIA

Weekly Throwback

Dammit where does the time go? It's friday again! For this weeks throwback I've decided to do a slow jam coz i don't think we have before. Heres changing faces with their debut single 'Stroke you up' all the way from 1994! I can't even front like I remember it from then I recently rediscovered it through a friend and its been on heavy rotation on my ipod since.
R Kelly was the 'mastermind' behind this group who never really hit the big time but were one of the better R'n'B girl groups of the '90's. Their song G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T (even with the annoying spelling) is still one of my favourite tunes. Enjoy the vid

Maxim Magazine..BOO!

Seriously.. who do they think they are with their Top 100 ladies list! Oh c'mon.. it's so wrong in so many ways. First of all some of the people who made it on to the list really makes me wonder lol and I noticed there's hardly any black women on the list (we need love too! LOL).
On a serious note, I dunno, I just find it odd because it kind of presents women as visual objects to please men- yeah I kno.. what do I expect since it is male magazine that is obsessed with women, sex etc. I kno it's not no new thing but things like this truly show how society is SO obsessed with appearance! And you sure as hell know for some silly girls it's their life ambition to get on that list lol.

If you wanna see the list for urself its floating around on a few blogs, or just go to the Maxim site..

Weekly Throwback

Lets get these throwbacks back on track shall we? Thats a hard sentence to say try it. Since the summer is fast approaching I thought this track would be perfect. This is a classic NO-ONE can tell me that they didn't love this tune. I present to you Sweet Female Attitude with 'Flowers' from 2000. This just takes me back man to happy sunny days i think i was in y5 at school when this was out. Listen to me i sound like a pensioner at the grand old age of 18 lol. I seem to be always aking this question in the throwbacks but where are they now, these girls to me are the true definition of the phrase one-hit wonder! Enjoy the vid.

Keri Hilson Update

The release date for Keri Hilson's debut album 'In A Perfect World' has been set for september 23rd. I have been waiting for this album for a minute and a half ,now if you didn't know thats a VERY long time, lol. Hopefully it won't get pushed back her first single is 'Energy' due out next month.
If you don't know about keri then you've probably been in space for the last year or so :-) Although shes been in the game for years songwriting for other artists (Britney Spears Gimme More Omarion Icebox, Mary J Blige take me as I am etc) shes breaking out as a solo artist now. You might also recognise her from the number 1 smash 'The way I are' with Timbaland. Shes all over his album on tracks 'Scream' which also pointlessly features Nicole zingerburger or whateva her name is who has run back to the pussycat dolls SHAME lol (let me save that for another post I'm going off track) and 'miscommunication'- big tune! Anyway we'll definitely be bringing you a review of the album when it drops. In the meantime check out some of her music 'Hands And Feet' is the biggest tune EVER! truss me

Weekly Throwback

You just knew we had to do an Erykah Badu track, "On and On". This lady's amazing, her talent is so raw and timeless. It's strange that even at a real young age I could still appreciate her music. This video makes me laugh though. Did you see how hard she was tuggin' at that little girl's hair?! Poor thing. And when she threw her hot tea on the man's neck.. lol.. I know in real life that defiantly aint funny!

Like she says, her "cypher keeps going like a rolling stone". Erykah's still right about that, she's still continuing to make music in '08 touching many people's minds. Check out "Healer" weird but interesting song by her. Especially if you listen to it through earphones.. my gosh!

Family Guy got competition!

LOL! I just found this. Since I'm on the topic of Black animated characters look at this little charm. I'm a fan of Family Guy but I must admit I haven't watched it in a while (heard the new series are airing on BBC3 in the UK though). If this comes out I'd defiantly watch it, but doubt it'd be as funny as the actual Family Guy though, nothing beats Peter Griffin and co lol. Look at the black version of the characters Chris and Stewie. LOL.

This image is too funny to me.

Disney's Beautiful Black Princess!

The 21st Century has finally arrived!
Lol. Meaning that Disney has finally created its first Black Princess! Isn't she pretty? lol. It's about time aswell, we've had white princesses, japanese, arabian and even native american ones! I'm not hating on that though, diversity is good. The lovely Anika Noni Rose will be the voice of the young princess in the animated film to be titled "The Frog Princess". She's doing good for herself, she starred in "Dreamgirls" alongside Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Not too sure what the films about so I guess you just have to wait and see..

I hope it turns out good and it's nice that the younger black generation get to grow up seeing a soon-to-be major Disney film featuring a lead black character. I dunno about you guys but my favourites were Beauty and The Beast and The Little Mermaid.. aww loved those days lol!

OMG. And how dare I forget Aladin!

Everybody Nose..

The video for N.E.R.D.'s new single "Everybody Nose" has been on Youtube for quite a while but just thought I'd write a little post on it. It's strange, like many people I can't decide whether I like this song or not, but one things for definite is that it's hella catchy. You can't help but sing along to the repetitive lyrics and sound. As you can see the ultimate party girl (and loser in my opinion) Lindsey Lohan is in the vid, and Kanye gets a little feature too! I'm really liking this video, and call me Devil's advocate or whatever but do you think to a certain degree it kind of glamorises that party-hard, drug lifestyle? Then again people are use to seeing violence and butt-nakedness on TV- so to heck with that! I dunno anyway, at least it captures the essence of the song.

Weekly Throwback

I thought it was about time we featured a u.k artist for the throwback. So heres Shola Ama with 'you might need somebody' all the way from 1997.
I can't believe it was so long ago i remember it like it was yesterday and i was seven at the time!
I was originally gonna post you're the one i love' now that was my tune but i can't find it anywhere its like its been wiped from existence.
Where's Shola at now? Anyone remember she tried to make a comeback a few years ago with that track 'you should really know?' It was the answerback to Mario Winans ,the WACK naila boss was on it! Think a u.k lil mama but a really crap version lol

The World is not safe..

...for a girl like me! Lol. I'm not even messing, some of the craziest things I see seem to be either on my bus route or while I'm actually waiting for it. A transexual frequently goes on my bus with his belly hangin out over his jeans, holding a mirror and comb in his hand trying to make himself look pretty. Then you got other things like people trying to prepare their dinner on the bus (no lie!) one woman was cutting up some lettuce with a sharp-ass knife. The thing I really can't stand are fights though. It don't matter how many I see, each one shocks me just as much as the last. Don't think I live in a little bubble or something, because I'm fully aware that horrible things happen but I'd rather not witness it right in front of my face! Last night there was a fight, and there were glass bottles flung about, punching, kicking, biting, scratching.. ok that last one was a lie lol. But on a serious note it was absolutely horrible. These guys were kicking this one person in the head and stomach, and in the end he had a massive bump of blood on the back of his head and blood pouring out of his face. People were calling the police/medical help, but he was shouting calling them idiots saying he don't need no help because it was "minor". I felt really sorry for him and I was about to give him some tissues to clean himself up but decided not to because of his previous reaction. That's mashed. I know guys like to put on a front but c'mon now, the guy had just got beaten up so obviosuly he isn't as tough as he thinks he is.

Timbaland and The Neptunes

I'm getting really frustrated with how the music industry works now. Yeah.. I know I'm not no expert but I feel I know what I'm talkin about! It seems like particular producers will work with anyone under the sun just for the moneeeey. I'm referring to some of my favourite producers now.. Timbaland and The Neptunes (Pharrell and co). I'm not really a fan of Britney (maybe when i was like 11..lol) and Madonna (only her old tunes maan!) so I'm really disappointed that BOTH Timb and Neptunes have produced alot of the songs on their album, and to be honest I'm real disappointed. In my opinion those artist's voices and the beats don't blend together that well. It doesn't sound right. Seems like a waste. The beats alone sound sick, but once you hear the voices its like eww! That's just my opinion though! If you beg to differ post a comment..

I'll admit that I can just about listen to Britney "Why Should I Be Sad" (neptunes)and "Hot As Ice" (timb)

Weekly Throwback

Ok so its been a minute since the last post but all of us have been mad busy its a stressful time at the moment with exams and stuff. Anyways I'm back on the throwbacks thanks to Lovehate for last weeks one well done you get a gold star :-) This weeks song is one I still listen to all the time Kelis' 'Get Along With You' from her debut album 'Kaleidoscope.' Kelis always stood out from the rest of the other singers out there with tunes like 'Caught Out There' and 'Milkshake' she was just always herself. This video was something different and fresh at the time and made me like the song even more. The reason I'm writing in the past tense is bcoz she got dropped from her label so I'm not sure if we'll hear any more music from her anytime soon. Wtf is going on when Kelis gets dropped but Cassie is about to release a new album??
Kmt enjoy the vid.
