Jimmy Jean-Louis represents Haiti on We Are the World

I received an email from Jimmy last night and honestly, I am so happy to hear that he is in good spirits after all the damage that has happened in his homeland. He is honored to have been a part of the Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie project that remade the 1985 charity single “We Are the World,” to benefit Haiti yesterday.

Jimmy shared some wonderful photos that I am now sharing with you. They show celebrities like Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Randy Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, T-Pain, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, amongst others who selflessly showed up to help the cause.

The new Kanye West video is making the rounds today, featuring a “not-so-good” tune and a sexy half naked Rihanna! Is anyone else tired of autotune yet?

The-Dream & Mariah Carey

I’m trying to crunch out this posting on Mondays thanks to Twitter’s #MusicMonday, but it isn’t quite happening yet. I’m sure you missed my posts the past couple of weeks, but Spring Break got a bit of an extension. Here are this week’s new releases! Remember to click on the tracks to review and leave your own comments!

Lady GaGa, LoveGame

  • Without a doubt, Just Dance was catchy and a huge first hit for LG, but I couldn’t get into Poker Face and considering how quickly it’s disappearing from the radio, you couldn’t either. LoveGame has got a promising beat, but never delivers. Considering the audience that is usually attracted to her music, the lyrics aren’t really appropriate for the kiddies either, but then again that’s been the case with the whole album.

Taylor Swift, You Belong With Me

  • Taylor Swift tip-toes into the Pop world with a song that I can only assume she recorded on a country album first. It’s a pretty safe song to run with and certainly will appeal to her current and new audience she’ll find on Pop radio. It’s a sweet song about the girl-next-door type making her case against Ms. Popularity. I think she crossed over a long time ago without having to sell out to her country roots. Jessica Simpson better be taking notes.

Jeremih, Birthday Sex

  • If the title alone didn’t clue you in on how awful this song would be, let me save you the trouble. The only way anyone could pull off a song like this would be if their name was R. Kelly or… R. KELLY. That’s it. No one else pulls off an intentionally stupid and overtly sexual song as he does, and for a very good reason. To avoid from other idiots like Jeremih  from putting out crap like this.

Seether, Careless Whisper

  • How do you make a really cheesy 80′s song from a really gay lead singer cool again? Throw the straightest and one of the hottest alternative groups out there right now to do a cover on it. If one of your radio stations aren’t playing this song, start calling to get people fired. It’s a great song, and certainly not an easy one to cover.

Ashley Tisdale,  It’s Alright, It’s OK

  • Trying to keep riding that High School Musical wave, Ashley Tisdale has this new single out which has obviously been torn from the Kelly Clarkson School of Songwriting. Amazingly enough, it’s not on Disney’s record label, which after hearing this track may have been a good move for Ashley. As long as she holds on to some decent songwriters, she can certainly earn a little cash on the side from this gig.

Kristinia Debarge,  Goodbye

  • Yes, it’s spelled Kristinia and yes, she’s THAT DeBarge. Although if you clicked the song before reading any of this, you might think it’s a new track from Rihanna. Nowadays with all the post-production that goes into pop music, it’s tough to tell if these girls have any actual talent. Being that she’s a DeBarge, let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. Let’s see, releasing a song with a sports anthem for a hook = free publicity. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the NBA or NHL use it in one of their broadcasts much like I predicted the same use of Kevin Rudolf’s song some months ago. The kiddies will like this song, but it doesn’t have much of a shelf life.

Rob Thomas,  Her Diamonds

  • Rob Thomas must eat musical instruments for breakfast, because he craps out songs like it’s nobody’s business! Although if I were married to his wife, I might have something to sing about too. Here’s another feel-good song with what starts out as a pretty new sound for RT, but then glides into his hit-making safety zone with his pop-rock signature sound. Nothing memorable here, but a good song nonetheless.

The-Dream, Walking On The Moon (f. Kanye West)

  • When I first saw that I’d be reviewing a song by The Dream, I was hating life thinking that P. Diddy’s failed attempt at an all white girl group was trying to make a comeback. Fortunately for me, I was VERY wrong. The-Dream we’re listening to here seems to be quite talented, having written songs for B2K, J. Holiday, and Chris Brown. Like the featured artist on this track, Kanye West, it seems as if it was only a matter of time before The-Dream got behind the mic. This song has a very reminiscent sound of the early 80′s Michael Jackson tracks and even fits Kanye in real nicely with a pretty smooth delivery. It’s a chill track and fun to listen to.

Zac Efron hearts Kanye West

Actor Zac Efron is showing off his love for Kanye West. The 17 Again actor was seen at Los Angeles International Airport today sportin’ a t-shirt with a giant print of rapper Kanye West. He is currently on his way to Paris.

I’d love to see the air miles he racks up. He’s just come back from Australia and now he is jetting off to Paris!

Cleveland Rocks! …for Kanye West anyways.

clevelandbrowntvshow

Kanye West has received high praise for his comic timing while recording a guest spot as the less-than-stellar rapper Kenny West in the forthcoming”Family Guy” spin-off,”The Cleveland Show”.

West’s first foray into animated comedy as rapper Kenny West will feature in an episode of the new sitcom alongside Oscar-nominated fellow guest-star Taraji P. Henson.

@ NY Daily News

No doubt that amongst Peter, Stewie and Brian, Cleveland is one of my favorite characters on Family Guy and is certainly deserving of his own show. There is no doubt I will enjoy it as much as FG, and maybe even more than American Dad. We’ll see how Kanye’s performance goes. Most guest stars are very obvious and seem out of place (Simpsons), but according to the article, they’d love for him to be a regular on the show.

Link Love!
