He doesn’t just have a cute British accent–Jay Sean also has 2 hits constantly playing on the radio . He’s also the first Asian (his ethnic background is Indian) and urban UK performer to top the Billboard 100. Is Jay as great as the charts say he is? What do you think?
Event info: Jay will be at KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball on December 5th to be held at the Nokia Theatre in LA. See him along with 3OH3!, Taylor Swift, LMFAO and more–get your ticket now.
The latest big pop collaborations come from Beyonce and Lady Gaga with a remix of Beyonce’s Video Phone AND a Beyonce cameo on Gaga’s Telephone. Listen to both below–they both sound kind of repetitive but it’s a different sound for B.
Video Phone–Beyonce ft. Lady Gaga
Telephone–Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce
Whose do you think sounds better? B’s or Gaga’s?
Event info: See Gaga at the AMAs on November 22 or in concert on December 21-23. Catch Beyonce free on cable in the ABC TV special “I Am…Yours” that airs on Thanksgiving at 9PM (PST). See the preview here.
Nineteen-year-old Taylor Swift’s win for the Entertainer of the Year at last night’s Country Music Awards got her a standing ovation. Her peers jumped to their feet, her parents held each other and cried and she graciously called her bandmates to share the moment with her. While Taylor’s happiness was shared with mostly everyone, Wynonna Judd didn’t share the sentiment. Judd, a country star in her own right, said, “It’s too much too soon…It’s like the girl who wins an Oscar and she’s under 20. What do you do from here?”
What do you think? Did Taylor deserve the Entertainer of the Year award?
Event info: See Taylor next at KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball on December 5th at the Nokia Theatre–get tickets here.
Update: Wynonna posted an ‘apology’ on her website today saying, ”I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift’s Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement. My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry…all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of ANY age. Taylor is a beautiful, hard working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business.” Do you think Wynonna’s being sincere?
Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto are fighters, but they are lovers (and humanitarians) too–both received keys to Sin City from Mayor Oscar Goodman for their individual charitable contributions. Even at last night’s press conference, both were mum on insulting each other–rather, they had their trainers do the trash talking for them (if you could call it that). Joe Santiago, Cotto’s trainer, at one point looked at Pacquiao and his entourage to say ”Good luck to Manny Pacquiao on Saturday…you’re going to need it.” As one of the fastest and powerful boxers in the sport, will Manny really need the luck?
Manny doesn’t think so as long as he “believes.” “Miguel thinks that [winning is about being] stronger and bigger, but I have to believe in myself in the same way that Miguel believes in himself,” stated the Pakman. To prove his self-confidence, Manny recently went on The Jimmy Kimmel Show to show off his crooning abilities (yes, he sings). In case you missed it, here it is:
You won’t see that from Cotto or Mayweather!
