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.

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?

Read my latest feature, ‘Artists We’ve Lost in 2012.’
In Artists We’ve Lost in 2012, we’re taking a moment to reflect and remember the careers of the artists who are no longer with us and who are sorely missed. Divas like Whitney Houston, Donna Summer and Etta James passed away, as did Beastie Boys’ member Adam Yauch and Bee Gee Robin Gibb.

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.

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.

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.

Read my latest Duets recap!
Foster and Jason Farol were in the bottom. Farol sang ‘Me and Mrs. Jones’ a capella for his life, while Foster ripped through a soulful, voice-only rendition of ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.’ We thought she was better, but we’re not on the superstar panel, hanging out in the celeb lounge!

Read my latest Glee Project recap!
Season 2 of ‘The Glee Project‘ kicked off tonight (June 5), moving to its new night. The theme was ‘Individuality,’ with the new cast being immediately tasked with showing co-creator Ryan Murphy and viewers just who they are, all the while working within the contexts of their castmates. Sadly, we only just met country cutie Maxfield, who was sent home.

Read my review of the new track from Casey Abrams, ‘Get Out.’
On ‘Get Out,’ Abrams is singing over an acoustic riff and handclaps. It’s totally different than the Casey we remember when he was up against the likes of Scotty McCreery and Pia Toscano, covering Nirvana songs in all his scruffy glory. He has cleaned up nice, and his music — at least on this track — has been buffed and polished to a blinding sheen.

Read my review of Justin Bieber’s ‘All Around the World.’
If you told us this song was penned for Britney Spears for her last album ‘Femme Fatale,’ we’d ‘Believe’ it, because the computerized style and the thick vocal effects remind us of recent Brit Brit material. It’s safe to say that ‘All Around the World’ is a club banger. And while we love Bieber, it’s not our favorite song on ‘Believe’ so far.
