X-FACTORNEY [Auditions Part 3]

The auditions for The X-Factor USA were in San Francisco/Oakland, California this weekend and will remain until Monday.

Britney showed up with a dress and hair style that resembles those from her Circus music video. Definitely not her best look, but she’s beautiful no matter what she wears! Also, Demi Lovato showed an interesting pink hair style, which I found awesome for her.

MUSIC VIDEO [Mutine – Fille Ou Garçon]

I know I’ve been posting a lot of French music videos lately, and that’s because it’s a shame some of them are awesome but nobody outside France watches them.

Mutine is a pop duo conformed by a girl (vocalist and songwriter) and a boy (musician, songwriter and producer). They are like the French version of The Ting Tings, at least that’s what I think.

They just released their first single ever and it’s called Fille Ou Garçon (which means “girl or boy”). The song talks about bisexuality and says it doesn’t matter if it’s a girl or a boy, while they’re hot.

What a powerful beat! Definitely love it.

MUSIC VIDEO [Florence + The Machine – Spectrum]

This video is amazing, there’s no surprise that it was directed by the extraordinary fotographer David LaChapelle.

Spectrum is by far my favorite song from Florence + The Machine. Florence’s voice sounds incredible and she just looks like a Goddess with that hair!

Love Florence, love LaChapelle, love ballet, love this song, love the mini-Florence, love everything. P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N.

 

X-FACTORNEY [Auditions Part 2]

Right now it’s the turn of Kansas City, Missouri to show its talent on the auditions for The X-Factor USA.

Our Britney is doing fantastic on her judging job! And she is looking flawless in a white dress.

Today is the second day of auditions in that city, and I couldn’t be happier with Brit looking like the princess she is.

MUSIC VIDEO [Shy’m – Et Alors !]

There’s nothing about this music video that I don’t like. It’s edgy and fabulous!

Shy’m is a pop female singer from France. Even though she’s young, she will release her fourth album already, named Caméléon on June 25th.

The first single is called Et Alors ! and the video was shot in Paris. It shows Shy’m with her friends dancing and having fun, and also a bunch of interesting trendy looks. Love how she looks wearing hats!

MUSIC VIDEO [Adam Lambert – Never Close Our Eyes]

This dude keeps on amazing me. After releasing an impeccable first single (which wasn’t as successful as it should have been), Adam bring us the official video for his second single Never Close Our Eyes. His album Trespassing is in stores now and it contains some pretty good music on it.

The video has a great concept and an awesome visual, just like its predecessor. To me, he is a true idol.

 

X-FACTORNEY [Auditions Part 1]

Last Thursday and Friday, Britney kicked off her judging job with The X-Factor USA in Austin, Texas!

She spent several hours each day watching contestants perform in the auditions, and deciding if they deserved a change to enter to the TV show.

Wearing a pink dress, the pop princess looked stunning!

These are all the dates and locations when our Brit will be judging during the auditions: 

• May 24th and 25th - Austin, TX - Frank Erwin Center 
• June 8th and 9th - Kansas City, MO - Kemper Arena 
• June 16th, 17th and 18th - San Francisco, CA - Cow Palace 
• June 27th, 28th and 29th - Providence, RI - Dunkin' Donuts Center 
• July 8th and 9th - Greensboro, NC - Coliseum

MUSIC VIDEO [Kylie Minogue – Timebomb]

Kylie is a Goddess and we were missing her already. Timebomb is the single from her upcoming greatest hits album, which commemorates her 25th anniversary in the music industry. The song just shows the power that this woman has to create a hit in every funky electro-pop number that she records.

The video was premiered today, and we can see Kylie looking fierce, intense and sexy, while having quite an adventure in London.

We’re on a timebomb, you might not last long 

So let’s just do it right now, do it, come on!

Ryan Reynolds did a photo shoot for the October 2010 issue of GQ magazine. It was a nice one and the photographer was Peggy Sirota!

He’s not only a great actor, but a handsome and sexy man. I envy him.

MUSIC VIDEO [Simple Plan & Sean Paul – Summer Paradise]

Simple Plan is not a group formed by some silly teenagers anymore. They’ve grown up into mature men, or at least they’re making the transition.

Summer Paradise is their latest single and it features Sean Paul. Yes, I didn’t think that this combination would be possible, but the result is pretty nice. The song also has a French version (they’re from Canada and speak French), and an original version which has K’naan instead of Sean Paul.

The video shows the guys in a beautiful beach surrounded by hot chicks, just fooling around, flirting and having fun. I like it, like it.

X-FACTORNEY

Since the beginning of the year, several articles have been written regarding the possibility of Britney Spears joining the judges’ panel in the American version of The X-Factor. But yesterday, the rumors were finally confirmed by Simon Cowell himself at the Fox Upfronts in NYC.

And not only that, Britney showed up to the event, as well as Demi Lovato, the fourth judge for the second season. We’ll have to wait until September to watch the Princess comment on the contestants’ performances, but I know she’ll be just great.

Also, it has been reported that our lovely Brit will receive 15 million dollars for her work during this season, which is more than what Christina Aguilera received from The Voice, and from what American Idol is paying to JLo. But how much will Demi receive? Well, according to the articles that I read, she will only obtain one million dollars.

MUSIC VIDEO [Jedward – Waterline]

The Irish twins, John and Edward, will represent their country at the Eurovision contest for the second consecutive year later this month. After placed in the top 10 of the contest last year, they will try luck once again, this time with the song Waterline.

The video for the song was directed and edited by the twins themselves, and the shoot took place in Tokyo!

Well done guys and good luck at the Eurovision.

MUSIC VIDEO [M. Pokora – On Est Là]

This is the second single from À La Poursuite Du Bonheur, the latest album from M. Pokora. The song is refreshing and its rhythm is great, definitely my favorite song from the album. On Est Là means “we are there” in French.

The video was filmed in Barcelona, Spain; and I have to admit that I was expecting something more. However I love his sunglasses and his watch.

Matt has just launched the À La Poursuite Du Bonheur Tour recently and will spend the rest of the year touring France and a couple of cities in different countries.

THE BEST OF KYLIE MINOGUE [Official Album Cover]

It was announced that Kylie will release a new greatest hits album later this year to commemorate her 25 successful years in the music industry.

She also did a series of concerts for her hardcore fan base in Australia and the UK called the Anti-Tour because it has neither dancers, nor outfit changes; and she only sang B-sides and some bonus track material from her entire career. It was a cute gift to her fans in this 25th career anniversary.

Last week, the artwork for the album cover was revealed and it’s the most original greatest hits album cover I’ve ever seen. Look at some of her previous single covers on the pins she has on her jacket.

MUSIC VIDEO [Foster The People – Houdini]

Foster The People continues to amaze! This time they have released the official video for their song Houdini and it’s their best video to date.

In the video the band suffered a tragic disease when they’re rehearsing for a concert and their lightning equipment falls over the stage they’re in. Their team laments their deaths because of the show that was already scheduled for the next day, and calls some experts to use the band members’ corpses as puppets. It was a great idea and they ended turning the corpses into robots in order to make the concert. The new Foster The Robots showed up and performed the show of their lives (or should I say deaths) in front of an enthusiastic audience.

Check out this masterpiece.

BRITNEY SPEARS’ GREATEST HITS BY SAM TSUI

Sam Tsui is a YouTube sort of celebrity, who is famous because of the covers he’s made. He records both music and vocals, edits amazing videos, and always chooses great songs to cover.

This time he wisely decided to make a medley of 14 of the Pop Princess’ biggest hits in a video of 5 minutes 40 seconds. It’s like a mash-up actually and his voice fits very well. The music he made for Toxic and Till The World Ends is awesome.

This dude is super talented!

MUSIC VIDEO [Paulina Rubio – Boys Will Be Boys]

Paulina Rubio is one of the most successful Mexican female singers from all-time.

Let me tell you, I love her and hate her at the same time. But this song is perfect to shake your booty!

Boys Will Be Boys is her first single in English since a really long time. And guess what: it was produced by Red One!

The video is kinda hilarious and extremely sexy.

I know that the Femme Fatale Tour from last year was epic, but so was the Circus Tour back in 2009.

The Circus Starring: Britney Spears showed up 97 times, having 61 shows in North America, 22 in Europe and 14 in Australia. The tour was a commercial success, with a total gross of $131.8 million. It also broke attendance records in many cities and all the North American shows were sold out. The Circus Tour became the fifth highest grossing tour of 2009, and the sixth highest grossing tour ever by a female artist.

It’s a shame that it didn’t come out in DVD!
