UK MUSIC: LETHAL B – ‘POW 2011’

Lethal B’s new track Pow 2011 premiered on Tim Westwood’s show this evening. The “revamp” of the 2004 hit this time features Wiley, Kano, Ghettz, JME and Chipmunk. In my opinion Pow 2004 was a lot better. Lethal should have left it alone. The 2011 version is just unnecessary. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

Our friends across the pond will get the opportunity to watch Beyonce’s Thanksgiving Special, which will air on ABC .

It borders on comical sometimes.  No way will she be revealing anything new or of interest.   ABC should get pulled up []

UK EVENT: ‘FOR COLORED GIRLS’ PREVIEW SCREENING THAT NEVER HAPPENED

Over the weekend (Saturday afternoon) I received news that a preview screening of the Tyler Perry film adaption of the play For Colored Girls was due to take place this afternoon (15th November), at 1.30pm in London. But sadly it never happened. I was told that guests arrived,  waited for over an hour and then it was eventually announced that there would be no screening because there was NO FILM TO SCREEN. You see whoever was in charge of sending the film []
