Hot Music Beat

Adema is one of those awesome bands that you just can’t get enough of, even if you’ve only heard them on the radio and are not completely sure who they are but really can’t get a particular song out of your head. That is the sign of a good song, after all, so you can rest assured that the music Adema puts together is strong and catchy, and just the kind of stuff you are going to want to hear live. Lucky for you, you can do just that now that Adema is going on tour! Just make sure you act fast to get yourself tickets because they are sure to sell out quickly and you know you won’t want to miss out!

Highlights of this bands tour include stops at such locales as Machine Shop in Flint on November 1 and Cellblock in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on November 9. The band will also play at The Chamelon in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on November 12, Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on November 15, Bourbon Street Nightclub in New Port Richey, Florida on November 16 and Bert’s Warehouse THeater in Detroit, Michigan on December 8. Additional recently added dates include gigs at such locales as Wade Walker’s in Fayetteville, Arkansas on November 27, Remington’s Niteclub in Springfield on November 29 and PRincess Theater in Winnsboro, Los Angeles on December 14.

When it comes to singing, Dannii Minogue and her sister Kylie sound a lot like. It’s really similar actually. But to be honest, I don’t mind. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. When you love one sister’s music, you just have to love the other.

Dannii has yet to reach a big massive commercial success like Kylie has but her music is no less fun. She recently released a video for her new single ‘Touch Me Like That’ which sample the disco classic ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)’. The video is like a love child between Madonna’s ‘Hollywood’ and Tron. Add a little soft-core lesbian porn and, ladies and gents, I give you Dannii’s new video.

Dance star Moby has undergone medical tests to determine what causes him to suffer panic attacks. The Porcelain hitmaker volunteered for the U.S. study, which sought to determine if carbon dioxide causes attacks. A link was found – and now Moby fears the condition will become more widespread, because of rising levels of co2 in the atmosphere. All of you can get an idea of his mind set, look at his picture here and you will be convinced that he surely has some serious problem. Most of it is the head we all behave as per our mindsets and if he thinks has a panic problem he at least knows he has a problem and the cure is nothing but simply not brushing his teeth in the morning and then the obvious alcohol addiction and there you have a bad smelling celebrity that is going to cause an epidemic by interacting with others with bad breath. Co2 has risen just because they don’t brush their teeth and perform in front of 1000’s of people who are exposed to his insanity.

Rihanna was spotted leaving Café Med in Los Angeles on Sunday. The hot Barbados-born singer is rumored to performed her latest single, which features Ne-yo, ‘Hate That I Love You’ at the 2007 American Music Awards.

Other rumored performers include Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Daughtry, Celine Dion, Duran Duran, Fergie, Will.I.Am, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5 and Rascal Flatts. It’s going to be a packed night if all of them perform. There’s something for every type of music fan out there.

The AMAs will air on Novemeber 18th from the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.

Her voice is over computerized.. It’s like they are trying to cover up too much how bad she really is or was at the time of recording.. Some of the beats are quite catchy.. cud see them being played in a club.. But I don’t think it’s worth any major attention. But we all know it’ll probably sell really well like gimme more just because of her name and cause she does have a loyal fan base.. Despite the fact she can’t sing! More so I have said time and again to my friends and in my groups while having a heated debate on this come back album of Britney’s is that there are many facts that are in line with this release, she is now divorced and is in a bitter custody battle for her kids with ex-hubby Kevin and these things are overshadowing the release of this album as the paps are busy with her custody case but with so much being written and told about her it is only going to up the interest in her new album, well I can’t figure out what’s happening next in the Brit story.

Finally we get official word! Madonna is definitely leaving Warner Brothers Records and signing a new deal with Live Nation for a reported $120 million.

The Queen of Pop released a statement on Tuesday confirming the news of the deal. “The paradigm in the music business has shifted and as an artist and a business woman, I have to move with that shift. For the first time in my career, the way that my music can reach my fans is unlimited. I’ve never wanted to think in a limited way and with this new partnership, the possibilities are endless. Who knows how my albums will be distributed in the future? That’s what’s exciting about this deal — everything is possible. Live Nation has offered me a true partnership and after 25 years in the business, I feel that I deserve that.”

He may have been busted for making his bodyguard buy guns for him when he’s a convicted felon who’s not allowed to buy firearms but that doesn’t mean T.I. can’t have some good news given to him.

T.I. won two awards out of nine nominations at the BET Hip Hop Awards last weekend. The southern rapper didn’t walk the red carpet but he was in attendance for the show in one way or the other. News of his arrest got around which had some people talking. Rapper KRS-One said, “I’m saddened any time I hear of a hip-hopper being locked up or somehow being stunted in his life or his growth. I hope he wasn’t into nothing crazy.”

Common won CD of the year along with T.I. and he decided to dedicate his win to him saying “I salute my guy T.I., who also won, wherever he is.”

R&B songstress Alicia Keys performed her new single “No One”
Alicia’s new album titled “As I Am” gets released on November 13th.

Much like the music on her upcoming album, Britney Spears’ album cover art for ‘Blackout’ has leaked. Do you believe it? I don’t. It’s a poor Photoshop job of one of her recent promo pictures. But People magazine published it as her official album cover, so yeah.‘Blackout’ will be released on October 30 as her record label announced earlier this week. It’s a twelve track album with most of the tracks already leaked out way before the release date.

The dance auditions that didn’t happen were supposedly for dancers for the music video of the second track of the album and her second single off of it ‘Piece of Me’.

The nominees for the 2007 American Music Awards have been announced at The Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday. On hand for the announcement were Ashanti and pop rock group, Jonas Brothers.

Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting the 35th anniversary of the popular awards show. It will be his fourth time doing so. But coming at us for the first time is that winners of the AMA will be determined by online voting at ama.abc.com.

Leading the pack with three nods each are Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Linkin Park and Daughtry. The AMAs will take place on November 18th and will be held at the Nokia Theater in LA.

Kylie Minogue is no stranger to fashion. But for whatever reason, it seems like fashion is taking a backseat for the songstress.

Kylie showed up for the Q Awards in London on Monday but the usually flawless Aussie singer looked more like Aussie actress Nicole Kidman. Honestly, it’s not a good thing. The outfit Kylie chose for the red carpet looked more like it was part of the wardrobe for the West End production of Chicago more than anything. Burn it Kylie!

She has a new album coming out. She needs to step up with appearances. Come on girl! I know you have it in you.

Kid Rock has one regret about his fight with Tommy Lee at the MTV Video Music Awards last month – he wishes he’d punched the Motley Crue star a few more times. So look what he has to say, these days a good album doesn’t not sell itself until you have a controversy riding behind that album’s back. This man’s so stupid it’s a miracle he can walk upright. I won’t support this man’s brand of stupidity, what a LOSER. Kid rock need to shut up his album going go flat regardless. This is the only publicity he is getting the story is getting old. But guys doesn’t this highlight the fact that most of our artist feel the need to cook up some controversy just before their albums hit the market so as to generate some interest in their albums. This shows that there exist an attitude where the artist things he has do something to be in the news/stoplight so the fans keep talking about them and somehow those gossips turn into album sales for them and business is good keeping them alive in the business, all wrecked up stuff – forgetful tactics.

If you’re looking for a pen pal or just want to brush up on your letter writing skills, then why not take interest in writing to Foxy Brown while she’s serving her sentence at the Rose M. Singer Women’s Facility in New York?

Foxy is doing a year in jail for violating probation and failing to attend anger management classes. But just because she’s in jail doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any time left for her die-hard fans or whoever is bored enough to actually right. FreeFoxyBrown.com offers fans the opportunity to make contact with Foxy, also known as prisoner #3470701776.

The site says, “She’ll try and answer back just as soon as she can.”

Right. Who’s crazy enough to do this?

Brandy’s little brother and fellow singer Ray J is reportedly coming out with his memoirs. He’s 26, what does he have to write about? I’m willing to bet it’s all about rolling around in the sheets.

BV Newswire’s Karu Daniels reports that the book is due out next spring and spills the crooner’s rise to fame and includes his sexcapades with over a thousand women. Among those women are Whitney Houston, Karrine ‘Superhead’ Steffens and of course, his sex tape-making partner, Kim ‘The Tush’ Kardashian. A claim has also been made that he had his first sexual experience at the age of 10. It’s when he learned to jack off to Janet, I’m sure.

However, Ray J’s rep recently made a statement that there is no book deal in place.

Avril Lavigne just released another hot new music video. Ironically, it’s for a song that’s appropriately titled ‘Hot’.

The video has a 1920 burlesque theme which was shot at the Beacon, Jersey City last month. It’s quite interesting to see a ‘punk’ dress up as a cabaret girl of some sort. Christina Aguilera never had much trouble. But then again, Christina has always been more believable and tolerable than Avril. I mean, the song even sounds like any Shakira song and Eve 6’s ‘Inside Out (Heart in a Blender)’. Copyright lawsuit anyone?

Also, a source from the set of the video has leaked that Avril is really in over her head. She had two personal masseuses tending to her during the shoot.

The Spice Girls have added two extra nights to the London leg of their world tour after tickets sold out in 38 seconds. Thirty eight seconds, this is faster than the movie title with Gone in Sixty Seconds, wow that is amazing. Could you guys just believe that all tickets are sold out in a blink of the eyes? These girls have been out and done with for nearly 7-8 years now and they too wouldn’t have expected this kind of response that they are received from their fans. Why the hell did the spice girls come back 4? They look out off DATE….. I can’t believe people still likes them and buy there tickets its all wrong they r old and out off date. But that’s what makes the music industry survive and strive, yesteryears stars are born over and over again, fans just do not forget their favorite singers and bands and never leave the opportunity to see them perform live. Spice Girls would be delighted with the response and this response should egg them on to give their best wherever they go during their world tour.

Rihanna has urged the media to stop criticizing Britney Spears’ MTV Video Music Awards performance. The “Umbrella” star believes Spears’ disastrous stageshow at the Las Vegas ceremony earlier this month was the result of her not having performed much recently coupled with the stress of her ongoing child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline. She did not do her best. My brother’s partner was one of the dancers that danced with her. She did not show up to most of the rehearsals and when she did she did not participate. I guess it is nice that some artists are trying to stick up for her but give me a break. She deserves all the criticism she is getting. What’s more that the artist who are speaking in favor or against her do not know anything about what happened behind the scenes during the practice, yet they have their opinions which really funny, some hate Britney so they speak against her and other’s who like her speak in her favor that the whole thing going on.

One of the half dozen most influential producers of the modern pop era is just about ready to just kick back and relax. That is, until after he releases his upcoming album.

Dr. Dre has announced that he will be retiring after the release of his solo album ‘Detox’. It’s the album that has been in the works for about eight long years. It’s a time frame that is worrisome for most especially when the likes of Phil Spector, Brian Wilson and Axl Rose have pretty much sealed their fates as has-beens after a long time out of the spotlight.

The difference may very well be in the fact that Dr. Dre has not only been working on his album but has worked on other artists’ albums as well, giving him a lot of creative ideas.

Who knew that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was so into the times and such a ladies’ man? He’s got a girl on his mind and it turns out to be the bootylicious Beyonce.

According to CNN, Barack was asked what his top list of tunes was composed of during a recent campaign stop in Creston, Iowa. Barack is said to be a big fan of old soul and new pop and even likes some of the newer songs that us young ones like.

Barack even went on the record saying “I tell you what. I can tell you the kinds of stuff that I love dancing to… I’m sort of the generation of Stevie Wonder and ‘Earth, Wind and Fire’.” But he also reveals his love for Beyonce when he said “I’m sort of hip to the younger stuff. You know, like Beyonce’s ‘Crazy in Love’. That’s a good song to dance to.”

Snoop Dogg pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of felony possession of a dangerous weapon and was sentenced to 160 hours of community service and three years probation, his attorney said. Snoop Dogg, 35, was arrested in September 2006 after the discovery of a collapsible baton in his computer bag at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. I tend to think that are these guys pretending to be musicians and are actually gangsters or just that the American way of living in a stylish and hunk type celebrity world has led them to be carrying guns even when they know that after the 9/11 incident carrying guns and ammunitions could land them in jail for a long period. Any outsider (non American citizen) if he would be caught carrying a gun or weapon then he would have had it for 5-8 years of his life. I think it’s about time the Americans learn that if they want the world to respect its laws then they have to set an example for it themselves.
