BBC 1XTRA PRIVATE PRESS EVENT (LONDON) / REVIEW

March 1, 2011

Last night I attended the BBC 1Xtra private press event, which took place in ‘ultra chic’ Notting Hill. Yeah that’s right Janice aka Miss Mad News is moving up in the world haters! (LOL) UK artists Skepta, Lethal B, Yasmin, Agrro Santos and Ed Sheeran all performed live and 1xtra DJs Tim Westwood, Ace & Invisible (I only spotted Invisible though), Semtex, Trevor Nelson, Twin B and Gemma Cairney were also all in attendance. I must say that one of the highlights of the evening for me was finally seeing […]

UK NEWS: CHANNEL 4 PLANNING DWARF REALITY SHOW

February 27, 2011

It’s been reported that Channel 4 executives who have clearly ran out of ideas, will air a “reality” show centered around seven dwarfs. The new show, which was filmed over the Christmas period, features seven actors appearing in a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs pantomime and living in the same house. A show insider told The Sun: ‘They were a great bunch of people, with a real sense of fun – but there are lots of tears, tantrums and breakdowns.’ As […]

UK MUSIC: SELAH FT DONAEO – ‘OUT MY HOUSE’

February 27, 2011

UK songstress Selah is back with the new single Out My House featuring Donaeo. Selah has a good voice, she just needs to feature on a really well produced, unique, show stopping track, that will help catapult her to the next level.  A trip to New York/LA should be arranged so she can get the opportunity to work with some top notch producers there. However having said that Out My House isn’t a bad single but I don’t see it becoming a […]

SINGER SEAL GOES IN TO MAJOR RANT AFTER BEING CALLED ‘UGLY’ ON TWITTER

February 25, 2011

Singer Seal lost his cool after being called “ugly” last night on Twitter. Judging from his reaction it seems that the mean spirited person who called him “ugly” hit a raw nerve. “@JaySeanFansNY: @Seal is ugly. #Sorry.” let me see, the most beautiful wife on the planet,four equally beautiful kids, an outstanding….. — Seal (@Seal) February 24, 2011 “@JaySeanFansNY: @Seal is ugly. #Sorry.”career lasting 20yrs, a Grammy this yr now totaling 5.

VIDEO: DR DRE FT EMINEM AND SKYLAR GREY – ‘I NEED A DOCTOR’ / MY THOUGHTS

February 25, 2011

For years Hip Hop fans have been waiting patiently for the return of Dr Dre and he has finally returned with the single I Need A Doctor. I’m sorry but I cannot stand this track. I Need A Doctor is weak, hilariously over dramatic and so obviously geared towards a mainstream audience. This is no Still Dre.  I also CANNOT STAND the tone of Eminem’s voice. What is that all about???? Who at Interscope convinced him that he sounds good when he raps in that tone of voice? Rubbish! The video – The opening […]

UK MUSIC: JAYA FT YOUNG SIMMONS AND WRETCH 32 – OUTTA CONTROL

February 24, 2011

I keep seeing Jaya’s name popping up on Twitter, but this is the first time I’ve listened to one of her tracks. Outta Control features Young Simmons (yes oldest son of the annoying Rev Run Simmons) and UK rapper Wretch 32.  Jaya has a pleasant enough voice but the song isn’t really my cup of tea.  I can however see it getting regular spins on BBC 1xtra. The video – well it’s not supposed to be funny…but it is. Your thoughts please. […]
