Talay Riley - From Gold To Bronze!

Talay Riley has released his third single Good As Gold featuring Scorcher. Is it any good though?

After I was very much hooked on his first single Humanoid, I was very excited to hear what this guy would come out with next. His second single Sergeant Smash, was an OK song, It didn't give me the same excitement as his first but it was 'AAIIIIIIGHT'. The video to Sergeant Smash was a very big let down.

Now we have Good As Gold and to be very precise, its a pile of cat doo doo as is the video to Good As Gold. It seems like his heading towards the Channel AKA audience. How is it possible to have an artist with great vocals and put out music like this? Now I don't know if its a label thing or if Riley has any say in what gets released but something needs to change ASAP. The potential in Talay as an artist is immense.

I've seen him perform live when he was supporting Jessie J before she got big. His vocals were off the wall. So it is very disappointing to know that such talent is pushing out music of this calibre. I'm sure there is some sort of explanation here. Could be the team, the label etc. Hopefully he would of learned from this second mistake and get back what he first showed us.

Here's the video to Good As Gold featuring Scorcher. Let me know what you think

X-Factor Dramas!

Were all being given false information and not getting to the bottom of this 'who is replacing Simon and Cheryl' dilemma.

Now I try my best to get right to the bottom of it and find out the latest hot gossip. So supposedly after not wanting Tulisa to be a judge on the show, due to her profound language, Simon Cowell has said that he would love for the NDubz singer to be part of the panel. Is it confirmed? By the sounds of it, it is.

Along with Tulisa, Take That member Gary Barlow is another one that has been confirmed. Which leaves 2 more spaces available. Danni Minogue will however sadly be replaced. Cowell has asked for former Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland to take her spot.

An insider told the newspaper: "Simon has been telling producers he wants Kelly Rowland and Tulisa from N-Dubz and the simple fact is there wasn't room for everyone. Something had to give - and that something was Dannii."

How sad that were all going to have to adjust and familiarise ourselves with new judges and get to know them. At least we have our favourite Irish judge Louis Walsh.

Dappy - 'It Wasn't The Best Sex I've Ever Had'!

Here we go, Dappy allegedly cheated AGAIN on his mother of two girlfriend, Kaye Vassel.

This isn't the first time something like this has come about. First time it was with dancer, Georgia Amodu who did the tour last year and now its with a 21 year old model from Newcastle, Cassie Johnson. The two met at Tup Tup Nightclub and was told they had an instant 'chemistry'.

In an exclusive interview with News of the World, Johnson said: "It wasn't the best sex I've ever had. I know Dappy gets women throwing themselves at him so I think he was surprised when I woke up next morning, refused to give him my number and said I didn't want to see him again."

I'm guessing Dappy thought of himself to be a woman's pleaser but obviously he was wrong, she continued: "He was quite selfish in bed, taking the time to please himself without worrying about what I wanted. To be honest, I got bored and just wanted to doze off. I left soon after waking next day.

"I regretted sleeping with Dappy and forgot all about it until months later when N-Dubz were at the club again. This time Fazer gave me the eye. But I didn't want another disappointment so I just stayed with my mates, away from the VIP area."

Seems like the pint size rapper isn't getting hits in the bedroom sector. To give him the benefit of the doubt, Dappy did admit to have separated from his baby mother. So, do we have our own Rachel and Ross situation here then?

Bianca Simmone - Did She Do It Again?

Ex video girl Bianca Simmone has released her second single 'Comin' At Yah' written by Kyle Lettman of boy group FDM.

After her first release of 'Pressure' featuring female MC Baby Blue, she disappeared of the radar for a little bit. Other than performing at shows we didn't know what was happening. Now we see why she was on the hush.

With an Arabian inspired beat and a sexy, hot location, Bianca Simmone looks absolutely stunning in this video. Very seductive and delicious. There's plenty of skin for the guys to be dribbling over. There's a little roll around in the sand that reminds me of Beyonce's dance breakdown in the video 'DeJa Vu'. Very brave to do something similar as we, the British audience are very hard to please. I think we finally have a female artist that is not trying to be like someone else.

Well done Bianca baby...

Wiley - King Of Grime!

Nobody can say that Wiley is not a hard worker. Regardless of his twitter drama and outrageous views, this man always puts out some of the best music ever to come out of the grime scene. He is without fail 'King of Grime'. Numbers In Action is just another one of hits. The video is simple but DOPE. It shows that this crazy guy has got a sense of humour.

Let me know what you guys think of it.

Jamelia Hates Ugly Kids!

Now we all know there are children/kids out there who start off as the ugly duckling and grow to be a beautiful swan. Or sometimes vice versa. This is reality.

Singer Jamelia has tweeted today:
"OMG...There's a lil' Girl here (at Teja's Acting Class) Called Jamelia...Why am I Vex? If u ever see how the girl looks like my foot bottom!"

Then followed by:
"Wow...so many people cussin me cos I said a lil' girl was fugly, She aint following me on twitter, Calm down mayne - Some Kids ARE Butters!"

Now, like I said, there are kids that just start of life with the wrong look. Jamelia being a parent to 2 daughters, I would of thought would never make a comment like that. Especially when one of her daughters isn't a pretty sight. My mum always said, 'look at your garden before you peak over the fence'.

Jamelia can not be upset that her followers were angry at what she said, can she?

Cheryl Cole - Roc Nation!

After its been announced that Girls Aloud member, Cheryl Cole is a judge on the US version of X-Factor, it is rumoured that Jay Z is wanting to sign her to his Roc Nation label.

A close source said: 
"Jay-Z has been keen to sign Cheryl for some time now. He has been in talks with her UK management to bring her to Roc Nation and Cheryl herself is keen to sign with him as she is a big, big fan of him and Beyoncé. She knows signing to Roc Nation would guarantee her massive success." 

Seems like this chick has a shot at breaking America if she keeps going at this rate. I know I definitely want to hear what her and Hova come up with.

Chipmunk, REALLY?

The day Chipmunk stops rapping about swagger and girls will be the day judgement day is upon us.

Does he have nothing else to talk about? The word swagger is DEAD. You cant tell me you have it when you clearly AND obviously don't. Ive got something for Chipmunk to talk about, how about you talk about when supposedly your chain got snatched at your album launch at the o2?

'Every Gyal' featuring Mavado is a pile of nonsense. I seriously don't understand how Chippy can feature an artist and they out-shine him? Something is not right there at all. The video is as flat as the girls breasts you have chosen to be your video 'Models'.

Here is the video. You decide and comment.

Nicki Minaj - SuperWHACK!

Here we go again, another pink cars, bright wigs and dolly like items like video. It can only be Nicki Minaj and her ever so over done Barbie act.

'Superbass' is something I have nightmares about. Why is it so bubble gum pop?Why are people over hyping this song? Further-more, why are guys talking about how sexy and delicious she is in this video? Let me give you some piece of information for you 'DONS' out there. You do understand that with a bit of make-up, expensive weave and airbrushing that your mother could look like the way Minaj does. So unless you want to talk about on twitter how sexy and 'BANGABLE' your mother is then hush up.

Where is the old Nicki Minaj before Pink Friday was released? Her mix tapes were on a different level which is why we fell in love with her in the first place. Now I'm hearing 'boom badoom boom boom badoom boom bass...'? You guys are seriously not serious about music. 

I have nothing else to say on this matter but here is the video to 'Superbass'.

Tulisa's Dirty Mouth!

It was confirmed to me that NDubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos ruined her chances on becoming X-Factor judge to replace Cheryl Cole as the Geordie singer has been confirmed to be a judge on the US version of the show. 

Tulisa was supposedly a hot favourite to replace the previous judge. However, Tulisa was invited to an hour screen test for the show and was using an array of explicit words and curses, which lead to her being turned down.

Are we surprised by her potty mouth? Coming from the UK's most successful rebellious group? NO. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? NO. One thing you can agree with is that, you can take the girl out the hood but you cant take the hood out of the girl.

This could of been a major improvement to her status. If she had common sense and manners she would of no doubt bagged the job. I like Tulisa. She's real and honest, but some times you just have to act accordingly to what ever situation you're in. And no it is not being fake or pretending. Its called 'GROWING UP'. Oh well, I very much doubt that she is boo hoo'ing about it as she is currently on tour and very much distracted.

Other musicians rumoured to have been asked are Take That member Gary Barlow and Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon.

Estelle Breaks My Heart!

3 years since we have heard anything from the UK singer who's based in the US. Estelle says 'She was living...' which is why it has taken her this long for her to drop her brand new single 'Break My Heart' featuring the boss himself Rick 'Rozay' Ross.

Estelle is not the best artist to come out of the UK but she has something that makes us want to listen to her and to be honest, I don't know what that is. I find myself wanting to reload her songs knowing full well that I shouldn't. Her album Shine which was released in 2008 features her number #1 single 'American Boy' and also 'Wait A Minute (Just A Touch)'.

Produced by Don Cannon, 'Break My Heart' is her first single from her new album 'All Of Me' which will be released end of August. This is a very summer, in your car-lets drive to Cornwall kind of jam. With Rozay's smooth flow and Estelle's deep vocals, I believe this song will be a hit. If not in the UK then definitely in the US. 

Take a listen and let me know what you think.
