VIDEO: ESTELLE FT RICK ROSS – BREAK MY HEART
………………………………………………………. I have said this before and I will say it again Estelle is no singer, she is a rapper. Her vocals on this track sound flat in parts and slightly off-key. But Rick Ross and decent production save Break My Heart. The video – Very slick and we see Estelle strolling around in a swimming costume, which is a first. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK TV / VIDEO: BBC DEFENDS ‘HOLBY CITY’ GAY KISS
I am a huge Holby City fan and this was a really good episode. I just thought the characters were in competition with each other, hence the constant arguing. I had no idea there was more to it. Hahaha! Via Digital Spy The BBC has defended broadcasting a kiss between two male Holby City characters. Complaints were received from “some viewers” who thought that the scene in the BBC One hospital drama between Dan Hamilton (Adam Astill) and Antoine Malick (Jimmy Akingbola) was “inappropriate”.

UK MUSIC: REALZ (RLZ) – FLY BOY
Check out actor Ashley Walter’s protegé rapper Realz and his new single Fly Boy. ……………………………………………………… Fly Boy is obviously geared towards a mainstream audience. If Realz manages to get air play on BBC Radio 1 along with some coverage inside The Sun (The Bizarre column that loves all things “Urban” these days) then the 13-16 year old demographic will probably latch on to the single and make it a chart hit. The Video – Well in my opinion the video is just […]
