Katy Perry on the Cover of L’Uomo Vogue

Read my post about Katy Perry on the cover of the new July/August edition of L’Uomo Vogue.

This cover is stark thematic contrast to the singer’s Hollywood Reporter cover, but it’s every bit as gorgeous and glam. It’s like her DNA prevents her from ever looking ordinary.

The Wanted ‘Ice Age’ Interview

Check out my interview with The Wanted. Said Nathan Sykes,

I’m a massive fan of the (Ice Age) franchise. It is the sort of film kids grow up with and all four films are strong individually. They keep it fresh and institute new characters who are exciting, as well as the original pack. That was me, Nathan, with an intelligent answer.

Flo Rida ‘Let it Roll’ Song Review!

Read my review of the track ‘Let It Roll’ by Flo Rida.

The tune feels like a summer anthem, with Flo repeating “Come on baby / Let the good times roll” over a synthy beat that’s looped. Give it three listens and you’ll be addicted to this jam like its caffeine. Clearly, the hits just keep coming when it pertains to Flo.

Maroon Five ‘One More Night’ Song Review

Read my review of ‘One More Night,’ the second single from Maroon 5’s new album.

The song is erected on a thumped out (and looped) beat, in addition to Levine’s signature falsetto, where he tosses off lyrics about not getting along with (or being able to untangle himself from) his lady love. Levine is hoping he only stays with her just “one more night.” Ouch. Was this song penned when things started going south with his ex, model Anne V?

Glee Project Recap

Read my latest Glee Project recap!

There was drama from the get-go, as Taryn, who was admittedly shy and nervous, bowed out. She couldn’t cope with the pressure just two weeks in, which suggests that she needs a career change. It was also a tough week, since some of the hopefuls are singers without much dance training.

Justin Bieber ‘As Long As You Love Me’ Song Review

Read my review of Justin Bieber’s ‘As Long As You Love Me.’

It is an exercise in Bieberized dubstep and it’s another sizzling, clubby romp, with lots of vocal processing and a more adult lyrical theme. The Biebs declares his love, cooing, “We could be starving / We could be homeless / We could be broke / As long as you love me / I’ll be your platinum / I’ll be your silver / I’ll be your gold.” Those are some big words there, which may cause some to wonder about the precious metals he mentions.

Selena Gomez on ELLE Magazine Cover

Read my post about Selena Gomez on the cover of ELLE Magazine.

The ‘Love You Like a Love Song’ singer is also wearing a strapless red dress and heels while kneeling on the sand in the internal shots, and lying on her back in an reddish-orange strapless bra and blue striped pants, looking half-patriotic, half-Wonder Woman.
