Billboard Names LADY GAGA 2010 Artist Of The Year


Just a year after taking the title for Billboard Best New Artist 2009 she has taken the crown for Billboard Artist Of The Year 2010. That shows you were talent and dedication will take you. She told herself she would take over the world and she did just that. The last artist to take both spots concurrently was Chris Brown back in 2006. Whitney Houston was the last female to do so way back in 1985. Since the start of the top overall artist category in 1981 only 7 women have taken home the trophy, including  Lady GagaTaylor Swift nabbed it in 2009, preceded by LeAnn Rimes (1997), Alanis Morissette (1996), Mariah Carey (1991), Whitney Houston (1986) and Madonna (1985).

GAGA takes the top spot thanks to the performance of both albums "The Fame" and "The Fame Monster" on the charts. Both albums rank 4th and 13th on the Top Billboard 200 Albums tally. Given that The Fame was released two years ago and still placed in 2010 is amazing. Four singles from those albums made the Top 100 Singles round up. "Bad Romance" placed highest at No.8.

New Joint Of The Day:T.I. Ft Christina Aguilera-Castle Walls

This song is uplifting and powerful. T.I words are passionate and come off as honest. The songs beat and melody suite his lyrics very nicely and Christina's voice is beautiful on the tract.With her divorce and T.I. currently in jail I believe the song to be genuine and it gives a glimpse of what goes down behind their castle walls.

American Music Awards Performances

I'll give it to Rihanna she stepped her game up and looked amazing as usual. That being said lets keep it real I felt I was watching a bad Beyonce "Baby Boy" impersonation.All she did was grind and walked back and forth on the stage basically doing the same routine that she does for "Rude Boy".The Bajan beauty's voice still hasn't shown any improvement at all live. Her back track and back ground singers were just as loud as her.Don't get it twisted I love Rihanna. I'm just not blinded to the fact that her success is attributed to the many managers, writers, producers,stylist and top dogs she has behind her. Her success has nothing to do with talent. I am rooting for Rihanna to come into her own with practice I'm sure she''ll find her way as a live performer she's just not there yet.Rihanna Performance here
I just cant with them its to early for me.They must use the same formula for all their performances.

Katy Perry Performance
Is it me or was she looking down with her eyes closed the whole time.

Justin Bieber Performance
Justin is showing improvement.

Pink Performance
Pregnant and still kicking butt.

Christina Aguilera
I've missed Christina this girl can SANG.

Ke$ha Performance

Miley Cyrus Performance
Call me crazy but I love the song. I felt her pain in the performance she gave real emotion and I give her props for that.

Kid Rock Performance
Gotta love Kid Rock.


The 2010 American Music Award was not the best.I think I might have to post some old AMA performances to show how a award show should be?






When Industry Politics Get In The Way Of The Real Winners

Have you ever watched an award show and wondered to yourself how the heck did she/he win? Or did she/he really just win that category? It makes you wounder how artist like Rihanna who have no insight on the creative process of her work and have such a lack of ability or talent can beat out artist such as Sade and Alicia Keys who are both amazing artist all around. 

Well turns out if you watched last night horrible AMA's you saw first hand how industry politics work.
There have been numerous reports coming out that Chris Brown not Usher was the real winner for best Male R&B artist

It is being reported that on the roster at the show backstage the winners were previously know. Chris Browns name was shown for Best R&B artist, but since he was not there in attendance his award was given to Usher. By no means am I saying Usher didn't deserve to win.However, if Chris Brown was the real winner then YES Chris deserves his award not Usher.
That's not it there are reports coming out that Lady GAGA also was stubbed.
This is a email sent from GAGA's manager Troy Carter to his friend Israel Hernandez. Since Lady GAGA was a no show her award for Artist of the Year was given to teen pop sensation Justin Beiber.SMH


Sidebar:Where's Kanye West when you need him!!lol

New Video:Diggy Simmons-Shook Ones(Freestlye)

Diggy Simmons gotta new freestyle video and this time he decided to take on Mos Deep's Shook Ones. The son of Rap legion Rev Run is only 15. Check out this Rising Plastic Star Here!!

Song Of The Moment:Jazmine Sullivan-Wait To Long

I love,love,love this song. Jazmine Sullivan's sophomore LP "Love Me Back" is scheduled to be released On November 29, 2010."Wait To Long" is fresh, edgy and a breath of fresh air. She gives a completely different sound on this track that we haven't heard from her ever before.The song is very retro reminiscent of Madonna's Holiday and the early Whitney Houston from the 80's.The track screams Prince and the sound he created. This song is a definite banger.Her vocals for the track surpass any POP DIVA on the top of the of the charts.This is what dance songs on the radio should sound like I'm sick of all the auto-tune ":Love Me Back" is a must have every track Ive heard so far from the LP is fire.

Janet Jackson Is Ready To Take Over The World

Janet Jackson has just announced today that she will be going on a world tour her largest world tour to date. The Icon stated that she has become inspired by all her fans and cant wait to begin. Janet has asked fans to help her pick the 35 cities- 1 for each of her biggest hits.
This is going to be a must see show and I cant wait to see Miss Jackson do her thing. Its very rare you get a chance to see a Icon on tour. Most of them are long gone or just cant live up to their younger more successful days, but I know Janet will show out. She comes from the royal Jackson family it's in her blood.

Keyshia Cole ft Nicki Minaj- I Aint Through

Keyshia Cole just released her first video from her first single off her new album.



Willow Smith in W Magazine

Peep what she has to say about her musical influences.....

"I like the way Billy Idol sings,” she says about her musical influences. “Mommy turned me on to him. And I like Lady Gaga’s songs.
Mommy & Daddy inspired me to be a performer, I get my flow from Daddy, my singing ability from Mommy, and the camera stuff from both. That’s just what happens when you hang out with the Smiths!"
LOL remember she is only 10. After seeing her whip her hair it's good to see that she still acts like any other ten year old.She is definitely a Rising Plastic Star!!!

New Album is " Almost Perfect" Says GAGA

"Almost Perfect" that's a bold statement for any artist to say about their own work, but with this Plastic Starz Icon perfection is almost certain. She tweeted "Endless melodies, hooks and poetry sledge-hammering my skull. It won't be much longer, it's almost perfect. But I (we) don't want almost."

I'm sure all her Little Monsters cant wait to get their hands on the new album.
Do you think Lady GaGa will out due herself once again or do you think this chaotic genius  will fall from the top spot. GaGa has created music, videos and fashion that has turned the whole entertainment industry around on their heads.I cant wait to hear what she has in store for us next.

Beyonce Talks New Album

So much for that break she was taking. Naturally Beyonce wants her top spot back. Im sure all her stans are gona be happy.Check out what Mrs. Carter has to say after the jump.

Billboard Releases Top 50 R&B and Hip Hop Artist (of the past 25 years)

In honor of all the artist that have made R&B and Hip Hop what it is today Billboard has assembled a list of the Top 50 R&B and Hip Hop Artist of the last 25 years. The tally is based on actual performances on the weekly Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts from Jan. 5, 1985, issue to the charts dated Nov. 6, 2010*. Artists were ranked  on an inverse point system (which just means that who ever spent the most weeks at No. 1 earned greater points than those that spent most time at the lower end of the chart).

I was surprised at how some artist  placed higher than others.What do you think about the list do you agree?

Rihanna Get Topped By Subo On The Charts


Someone please give Susan her crown. Again she remains the Queen on the top of the album charts for the second consecutive week . With a projected estimate of 300k albums sold. With Rihanna's debut at a low number three with 180k-190k sold, Ouch! Putting her right below Jackie Evancho from Britain's Got Talent. Hopefully Miss Fentys album will pick up some steam  after her team releases countless singles from the album.
