Guetta : Beyonce's Worst Nightmare

These days, Beyonce has a lot of worrying to do.

She's still as big as her booty. ( Her ambition for world domination is even bigger)



Well, out-singing and out-dancing every girl on the planet got her the best of the first decade of this millenium.

So who would have thought that at the turn of 2010,

she sees her reign on shaky ground, not from another starlet ( although she does need to worry over a certain strange lady alien called Gaga.) , but from a DJ-cum-producer David Guetta.

A scruffy beach-surfer-like-dude who happens to spin records quite rather well.

Before fans and folks alike start to scream "WTF?! Who's That Chick?"

Let me clear the air for those who love music but are still on another planet ( probably the same one that Gaga came from) .


The DJ-of-The-moment : David Guetta

David Guetta is single handedly responsible for producing and mixing for Kelly Rowland, that poor girl from Destiny's Child who couldn't grow up and out of Miss B's shadows.

Until , of course, Guetta's Love Took Over and became her new Commander.




Now , we all know the other chart-topping chocolate-beauty that is Rihanna. She who brought her island-sound and made it 'Ella' hot. Setting the dance floors all over on fire with that robotic voice.

She was already ballooning before Guetta.

But a swtich from coconut-sweet to Coco Chanel-edgy and collaborating with Guetta not only extended her 5-minutes-of-fame ( let's be honest here, she ain't exactly the bext singer around even if she looks like Dionne Warwick or Whitney Houston) but allowed her to not just breathe down Miss B's neck over the last few years, but to literally surge pass her to trample all over with more #1-hits. (9 to be exact. Tying her with Janet Jackson and only behind Whitney ,Madonna and Mariah.)

Indeed, Guetta had made her The Only Girl in the world right now to triumph Beyonce. ( Gaga and Xtina A still have some way to go and Janet ought to be panicking that she ain't really 'The Best' while Whitney and Madonna should start to worry next and Mariah getting bored and lonely way up at the top, still.)



Kelly is readying her ammunition while Rihanna is red-hot.
Thanks to Guetta.

Yes Sasha, you ought to be saying out-loud now ' I Am ..... Scared."

Q

BIG (Alter) Egos

When you're a famous pop star, you're flattered by bootlickers and fans to a point where your ego begins to swell larger than your head ( or that recent boob job) .

You begin to think that you're too big even for your own famous name.

Maybe the Spice Girls started it with their Baby, Sporty, Ginger, Scary and Posh tags way back then.
And Madonna was the Material Girl and Bette Midler was The Divine Miss M even before it was hip to do so.

But these DivAAAAAs use their reinvented egos to swell their fame and coffers.



Jennifer Lopez started it. she became known simply as J-Lo.

(with an ego that swollen she still tried hard to persuade the public that Her Love don't cost a Thing and that she's still just Jenny from The Block. Whateva ya Miss Bronx-0-fabulous.)



Suddenly, Janet Jackson made sure everyone knew that she had always been Damita Jo.

(or we could otherwise just call her Lil Miss Wacko Jacko.. which isn't glam isn't it? but neither is an exposed Nipple...)



Mariah made a massive comback by reinvinting herself as Mimi.

(And yes, she claims that she really did grew up with that nic. And my childhood nic was really Fifi.)



Lo and behold...

Beyonce Knowles now proudly announces that she IS Sasha Fierce.

Note, it is not 'I'm also called' but 'I AM' .

Messed up. ^^


Q ... LMAO.. haha

#1 Hit Girls

Mariah Carey has more #1 hits than any other female artiste in American Music history. (18 Billboard #1s, to date)

Geri Halliwell (tie with Madonna) has the most number of #1 hits for a female artist on the British Charts (13 #1s; 9 with the Spice Girls and 4 as a Solo)
BTW, the Spice Girls also have more #1 hits as a Girl-group than any other in British pop chart history.

Madonna has the most #1 hits for a solo female artist on the British Charts (13 #1 hits)

Of course, the world over, there are other very notable female superstars like Whitney Houston (11 #1s on the American Billboard; third behind only Madonna with 12 and Mariah with 18),
Janet Jackson (9 #1 hits on the American Billboard).


Notable also, is Britney Spears who has had more #1 consecutive albums than any other female artist is American BillBoard History.

And Diana Ross who's had 10 #1 hits on the American charts with The Supremes and 6 #1s as a solo.

>>>

And then that's it, folks.

A large berth that seperates these #1 HIT girls and the rest of the female singers in today's fickle Pop world.

Sorry... Neither Beyonce nor J Lo nor Celine , are even remotely close.... LOL ^^



Q

Disciplined to Thrill

Janet's Discipline album cover

The owner of the world's most famous tit-piercing is at her most alluring S&M-brand of music, again.

"Light skin, dark skin ; My Asian Persuasion. Do you like my Style? Yeah I'm Sexy sexy sexy.",

she coos. (And she's not singing about her famous brother, I hope.)

Yeah, I like her style. Sexy. Indeed. And, yes, she's taking in all the Feedback.

While her ultra glossy previous album '20 Y.O' bombed due to dismal promotion and her trying to go mainstream and Mariah-ish, this time round, Miss Janet is having all her Son(s)-of-a-Gun out and going back to her roots of edgy dance pop she learnt so well from brother Michael.

Be enamoured by the top-notch production of the lead single 'Feedback' and ignore the over-ambitious music video and you'll actually find yourself hitting the replay button.

Then there is the whole album of gems (and jams) which you'd be head over heals with in no time at all.

The song to highlight is the ultra-edgy, and certainly, not so subtle in its message and intent, 'So Much Betta'.

In this track, the studio wizardy that transforms Janet into a sexual-hobbit and have her chanting hypnotically 'Tired of being Number two, I can do what she can do. So much betta, I'm for you." Such an immense ear-worm.

Now, try making a wild guess which dog-whistling demi-goddess she's referring to.

(Hint.)<

It really doesn't take much discipline for yourself to sit down and have a spin, it will get you hooked from the word go. It's that good.

Indeed, Kyoko, the apparent femme-bot-cum-music-player-cum-lifestyle whatever, which is oh-so-polite to Miss Janet and hums to her every whim, rounds up what is probably, Miss J's best album in years.

_______________________________________________________

Also from the Jackson clan, the other famous being, , is celebrating his 25-th Anniversary of his mega-selling album, 'Thriller'.

Any album which has hit the record books as being the World's Biggest Selling Album of All time, selling over 45 million copies, has got to have enough clout for an exclusive relaunch.

(Album or flagging-career, you decide.)

Song's like the #1 hit 'Billy Jean' , 'Thriller' featuring the late and charming Vincent Price as well as a slew of other Top 10 hits such as 'The Girl is Mine' and 'Beat It', that made this album an 8-Grammy Award-winning album, remains here in all its heyday glory.

Then there are the really smoove 2008 updates of some of the hits featuring the likes of current-day big wigs like Will-I-Am, Fergie, Akon and Kanye West.

Will-I-Am is bursting with regae-tivity while his gal-prodige, Fergie, is as big-lunged and manic as ever.

Akon is still depressingly groovy in a Shawn Kingston-soppy kind of way.
Really shining above the rest though is the midas touch of Kanye West for 'Billie Jean' that screams (pun intended) #1 Hit all over again.

Befitting an Anniversary edition, this album comes with a disc 2 DVD that contains the famous-as-hell (pun indended again) videos for Billie Jean, Beat It and of course, Thriller.

Both discs are Gold-plated and all 10+6 tracks are fully digitally remastered, all packed impressivey in a glossy sleeve with a pre-opt Michael up front and a 'Thriller-fied' him at the back. An irony in itself.

As Vincent Price husks in track 10,

'Michael Jackson is The Thriller. Can you dig it? "

You betcha. 45 million others have.


If you love pop and strange noses (seriously, I do mean 'nose' not 'noise'), both Janet's and Michael's latest offerings are Must-gets.
