Excuse Me, Nicola Roberts, I Know That's You on 'The Masked Singer UK'
Something kinda ooooh must be in the water, because legendary '00s-to-early-'10s British girl group members-turned-solo stars keep showing up on reality television competitions as of late. Before we get into The Masked Singer, I need to get address this first: Alesha "Italians Do It Better" Dixon…
Introduucing...Emeli Sandé!
Genre: Neo-soul, R&B Sounds Like: Lauryn Hill, Janelle Monae, Erykah Badu Emeli Sandé is a 23-year-old Scotland-born singer and songwriter. Equipped with a solid, soulful voice recalling both legends and contemporaries alike--from Lauryn Hill to Janelle Monae to Solange Knowles (who she's already…
Alesha Dixon's New Single "Radio" Sounds Like Other Songs on the Radio
Alesha Dixon has just uploaded her new single onto YouTube and... The beat is exactly the same as Robyn's "Dancing On My Own." Like, literally. I mean, I guess it's alright (mostly because the melody is completely different), but that opening synthesizer line will never be dissociated from…
Introduucing...Andrea Lewis!
Meet Andrea Lewis. Perhaps you've seen her around: The actress-turned-singer is best known for her role as Hazel Aden in five seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation, as well as a role in Nickelodeon's first ever musical, Spectacular! Now, feel free to add "One to Watch" to her repertoire. On…
The 2010 Brit Award Nominees: An Analysis
Christ on a Christmas cracker--the 2010 BRIT Award nominations are in! I can't believe it's time already for the ceremony to begin once again. It seems like only yesterday I was sitting in my bed watching in disbelief as Gaga robo-danced her way on stage with pieces of shattered china plates glued…
MPHO Announces Second Single "See Me Now"
Here now is the second single off of MPHO's upcoming debut Pop Art, "See Me Now." As you can see/hear, it is an all-around "good" track with lots of strings and hand-clappy bits. The beat brings Alesha Dixon's "Let's Get Excited" to mind and, for some reason, Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right" for no…
Alesha Dixon: Breathing Easy
Yet another surprise for the day: Alesha Dixon currently finds herself at #13 on the UK charts with "Breathe Slow," a position based on downloads alone! The single is not due for a physical release for another two weeks. Surely the video must have helped. Perhaps all Alesha needed was to take heed…
Sugababes: Do, Doing It Well
Here we have the 'Babes doing a rather perfect rendition of their latest single, "No Can Do," as well as an amusing cut-in by Alesha Dixon, sitting backstage. MIS-TEEQ REUNION?! Just kidding. Literally...SPOT ON. Excellent job, Girls of the Babes variety.
Alesha Dixon: Breathe Slow
Let's "Breathe Slow" with Alesha for a few minutes. It's a shame about the video, isn't it? It's all sweet and silly (and a dash of tamed "Hung Up" during the dance studio sequences) up until the two minute mark, in which Miss Dixon dons a truly ridiculous headband of chicken feathers and twirly…
Alesha: The Boy Does Nothing (Live)
Television performance of the year? Quite possibly. Check out Alesha Dixon performing her single, "The Boy Does Nothing" on Strictly Come Dancing last night. Incredible, incredible performance...Worlds better than the song's own video! The live vocals were spot-on (if not better than the…
Alesha Dixon: The Boy Continues To Do Nothing
Alright Alesha, I'm going to lay it out straight for you: The video is a bit of a mess. I mean, I get the whole 'raucous affair' scenario (dancing! women! splits!) but it's barely exciting. I suppose the choreography could have been tighter, the moves could have been made more intricate, and the…
