VIDEO: THE DREAM FT KANYE WEST – WALKING ON THE MOON
There is nothing special about this track at all and it doesn’t make me feel as if I am walking on the moon. I think that it would be in The Dream’s best interest if a friend took him to one side and told him the truth, which is… When you sing it sounds as if your testicals haven’t dropped yet.

CIARA PERFORMS ‘NEVER EVER’ ON JAY LENO
Style wins in spectacular fashion over substance again! Admittedly I’ve liked a few of Ciara’s past releases, but her live performances always leave me shaking my head. The woman can move but when it comes to vocal ability – PISS POOR! And what was with that dance routine?
