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."

Bad Romance

Relationships these days:

'Look here for Romance. Look else where for Love .'

Q

Lost of a Queen

The talented McQueen

Lady Gaga wore these in 'Bad Romance' music video , remember?

His Reinterpretation of Louboutins .

His famous Oyster dress.

Alexander McQueen . The iconic British fashion designer has died of apparent suicide in his London apartment ,11 Feb 2010.

Classified as unnatural death . And an unnatural loss to the fashion world.

He will be missed.

The Next Best Superstar

As 2010 looms ahead and signal that we're soon to exit the first decade of the new millennium, looking back at how the industry had evolved into an unpredictable, volatile and insanely competitive environment where marketing hype and packaging almost outshines talent, we look ahead and wonder who's gonna make it or break it in the NEXT decade.

The Top 5 Music artistes to look out for in the Next Decade.

1) Whitney Houston: After a 7-year absence, she’s back on top. What’s next on her cards to prove to the newer generation on what talent and diva-licious really mean and what does she still have in her?

2) Lady Gaga: She’s edgy and ground breaking in both her style and music and it’s to no one’s surprise that she’s likely the biggest star on the charts for the next decade. Or will she? Is she fucking crazy? Or fucking fabulous?

3) Shakira: How will the world be even more convinced of this multi-talented chanteuse?

4) Madonna: She’s celebrated her reign as Queen of Pop longer than anyone, what’s the next decade gonna be like for the Mother of Reinvention now that she’s left Warner Music, the very label that made her?

5) Susan Boyle: She’s the single biggest story of rags to riches, talent above all else. Her massive album sales says it all. Perhaps she’ll lead the way for a new generation with a genuine appreciation for talent, rather than looks and packaging?

Over-stayers Alert:

Britney, Rihanna, Beyonce and Mariah will still be around, though the fatigue the public has of them is getting as obvious as their shrinking creative space.

On that note, will Mariah finally bulldoze her way pass Elvis and The Beatles as the artiste with the most #1-hits on the Bill Board charts, given her sleepy release of her recent ‘Memoirs’ album which is indeed imperfect?





What’s next for these?

>What’s next for Janet who’s just launched her penultimate greatest hits and who now remains the only viable member of the Jackson clan on the charts?

When in fact, her recent songs are not making the waves like they used to simply because she cannot sing like Whitney or Mariah, not is as media savvy as Madonna nor deemed as hot as Britney and Beyonce?

>Will Lil Kim continue to reign as the Queen of Female Rap music? Is she making a comeback anytime?

>Will Kelly Clarkson remain the Queen of Idols?

>Will Alicia Keys and Leona Lewis indeed become the new ‘Whitneys’ for Clive Davis?

>Will Norah Jones continue to lead the way for the new generation of female Jazz vocalists?

>Will The Wonder Girls truly break into the International market next year? Or will they just be a one-hit wonder?


>Will Nicole Scherzinger finally get her (successful) solo break from The Pussy Cat Dolls?

>How will Vanessa Mae continue to redefine classical-pop music like she had for the most part of the last 2 decades?

>Will Ciara’s music career sink further into the abyss in the next decade?

>How will Jordin Sparks, Alessandra Burke and Keri Hilson define themselves more distinctly to finally earn the recognition they deserve?

> Will The Spice Girls make another comeback?

Top 3 Albums of 2009

This is the final week of dreaded 2009.

The music got better and more manic than ever.

And the battle for chart dominance was never this intense and strenuous on both the artistes and their fans.

Well, as the year finally closes with such crecendo, let me state my 2 cents worth of this year's Top 3 Biggest Albums of 2009.

Holler vulgarities at me if you want :-)

At#1 : Whitney Houston 's 'I Look To you ' . Not surprisingly, it really did Debut at #1 on the Bill Board Charts. Classy and timeless and very well produced. Every song is single-worthy. No one sings like she does. Period.


At #2 : Lady Gaga 's 'The Fame Monster'; formaliac and precise. Another round of song-chart dominance for sure.


At#2 (it's a tie!): Shakira's 'She-Wolf' is sexy, thumping hot and very well produced. Her multi-talents, as usual shines through unmistakably. This girl should not be big. She should be Huge.

At #3: Susan Boyles's 'I Dreamed A Dream'; this here is pure inspiration , where talent and sheer will to succeed brought her here. Memorable.

There , if you're still scrambling to get fresh music before the year closes, these 4are must-gets and you can pretty much give Michael Jackson, a final rest-in-peace.

Q ... for god's sakes!

Dance Doyens

Shakira coos about getting out of the closet and let the animal out.

Britney suggests strongly a menage trois or a full on mass orgy.

Ga Ga roars about forbidden romances.

Beyonce seduces with phone and video sex.

Madonna just wants to have a great time on the dance floor (and the after party action).


They've all rocked the dance charts.

But who's gonna be the ultimate show-down diva on the dance floor, this year end?

The Queens of the Charts

It is the time of the year again where the last crop of big music artists launch their albums in a bid to have a slice of the eagerly buying Christmas/ Year-end crowd.

Where songstresses are concerned, the fickle and bitchy music world is their playground as they pout, pose and belt to their loyal subject of fans.

Launching rocking singles, glossy videos and snooping the competition with massive publicity stunts, collabos and other strategic moves all in the name of fame; who ranks higher up the charts and is snitching more of the consumer's money (yes, these days its all about the sex and the money isn't it?) is their modus operandi.

So here is a rather comprehensive list of the Big Mamas of today's music charts.

If she ain't on it, she ain't hot.

Listed, though not in any order or merit, with their most recent efforts:

1) Whitney Houston (I Look to you)*
2) Beyonce (I am Sasha Fierce)*
3) Mariah Carey (Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel)
4) Madonna (Celebration)*
5) Lady Gaga (The Fame Monster)*
6) Britney Spears (Circus & The Singles Collection)*
7) Christina Aguilera (Keeps Getting Better)
8) Rihanna (Rated R)*
9) Ciara(Fantasy Ride)
10) Leona Lewis (Best Kept Secret & Echo)*
11) Shakira (She-Wolf)*
12) Janet Jackson (Number Ones)
13) Alicia Keys (As I am)
14) Norah Jones (The Fall)
15) Jordin Sparks (Battlefield)
16) Fergie ( The End ; with The Black Eyed Peas)
17) Nicole Scherzinger ( Doll Domination ; with The Pussy Cat Dolls)*


(Those with * are particularly splendid this year)

And please, no Miss Miley ok?

And certainly, not Michael Jackson, Elton John or Adam Lambert.

I know I could be lambasted by loyal fans for those Divaaaaasss who didn't make it in. Sorry and ... may not.

Q

She's A Monster!

A Monster on the charts , that is .

This Lady of song is getting huge.

And you thought The Fame was good enough for a season of partying.

Then she's back to rock the charts once again.

There's no stopping this talented chanteuse.

Nothing bad about this romance we 're all having with her and music, for sure.

Q
PS: If you haven't already fallen in love with her smash song and video , Bad Romance, you really shouldn't be here. You'd think Gaga was a man in drag or something ....

Going Ga Ga over her Cervix

Marilyn Manson wants to give Lady Gaga a cervical exam.

The 'Beautiful People' rocker - whose on/off relationship with actress Evan Rachel Wood recently ended - is desperate to take his friendship with the 'Poker Face' singer further.

As the two singers - who met last year when they recorded covers of each other's upcoming material - watched Gaga passionately kiss a male model in the video clip for her new song 'Paparazzi', the 40-year-old musician moaned and said: 'I'd like to be that guy. I'll give you a cervical exam.'

The alternative musician is also a fan of the 23-year-old singer's unique image because he sees himself in her.

He told Britain's Observer newspaper: 'I was most impressed by her paparazzi photos. I thought that it looked the way that rock stars should look, as exciting as something that Warhol or Dali would do.

'And I don't consider her to be similar to her contemporaries - the other girls that do pop music - simply because she knows exactly what she's doing. She's very smart, she's not selling out, she's a great musician, she's a great singer, and she's laughing when she's doing it, the same way that I am.'

Gaga agrees: 'I don't feel that I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I look new. I think I'm changing what people think is sexy.'~MSN Entertainment


Q ... BTW : I may just be going for her Concert come August!!!!

Biker Girl

The Biker outfit.


Thanks to Miss Perfection , Beyonce, whose recent stab at bringing the fusion of fashion and music to the fore, since Gwen Stefani , Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Lady Ga Ga, has brought back in the spot light, the iconic couture outfit by Thierry Mugler.

Yes, She is Sasha. And, she is fierce.

Q

Going Gaga over her?

Not really.



Her music is electro pop ; like an updated 80's track record.

Formaliac. Great sounding but ultimately, lacking in emotion and connection.

More pop than grind.

Don't get me wrong , she's not bad a singer and producer and her Fame album, is really quite the self-indulgent streak as it is.

It keeps my mood up but does little to make me excited, just to say.

Her image? You do wonder what all the hype is about. She's the next stylista since Madonna , apparently.

Ok , seriously, my take is that she's kinda trashy. Strange. And certainly, not pretty or easy on the eyes.

She's all over the place.

Much like street-walker gone wrong.

More in the hood than from the hoodlum.

So no, I'm not hatin this new girl on the block, she's good in her own kinky way, but no, I'm not going GaGa.
