NEW MUSIC/VIDEO: RIHANNA – ‘WAIT YOUR TURN’

Why is Rihanna singing like that????  Just stop woman! She sounds like an American struggling to speak in a West Indian accent, which is odd considering she was born and raised in Barbados.  She’s obviously been hanging around Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye and crew for far to long. Anyway I actually like the chorus but the rest of the track gets the thumbs down from me. And as for the new look….what is that all about Rihanna???   Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK FILM: STREET DANCE 3D

I just watched the trailer for the up and coming film ‘Street Dance (3D)’ and it looks like it’s trying to be the UK’s answer to US dance films made over the past 5/6 years e.g. ‘Step Up’. Britain’s Got Talent winners Diversity team up with dance group rivals Flawless and 2008 Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson. It looks like another cheesy dance movie with a weak storyline, but well done to Flawless and Diversity for getting this gig. Film release []
