This is the type of Usher I can gel with. Real R&B. Real singing. 100%! You just know I was brought back down to reality with the ‘OMG’ performance. He performs it really well, even if there is a lack of pace in his movements. However, my problem is the song. I just don’t like it! And, I never will. But at least he performed ‘Yeah’ so I can’t complain. He hasn’t performed that one in a hot minute. Check out the performances after the cut. Continue reading →

Say It To My Face B****
Atlanta-based Haitian/Dominican songwriter Stacy Barthe has earned a star-studded client list in her short time on the scene.With credits for the likes of Black Eyed Peas, Britney Spears, Keri Hilson, Enrique Iglesias, New Kids on the Block, Ciara, Tiffany Evans, Cassie, and Rihanna to name a few.
Barthe has become one of the most indemand young songwriting talents. So much so that Universal Music Publishing took notice of her work,and signed her to their already impressive assembly.Barthe’s work combines a nostalgic noise with unique new sounds, and just like her idols Diane Warren and Martha Walsh, she is masterfully coupling lyrics rife with raw emotion with uninhibited music.

They talk about the book and give an exclusive acapella performance of ‘The Club Is Alive’ just to remind people once again that they don’t need autotune. Let’s just say I’d rather that version any day of the week. In fact, any version craps on the original which I like to call, musical terrorism to the ears.

‘Promise This’ entails a vibrant and catchy pop beat with some R&B undertones. The track was written by UK-born producer Wayne Wilkins who wrote Beyonce’s ‘Sweet Dreams’, Jordin Sparks ‘Battlefield’, Shontelle’s ‘T-Shirt’, Leona Lewis’s ‘Take A Bow’, Keri Hilson’s ‘Energy’, Michelle Williams‘ ‘We Break the Dawn’ and I can go on and on.
.
A choreography infested music video for the song is scheduled to be shot and directed by Sophie Muller. Meanwhile, Cheryl is heading back to UK shores for the live X Factor shows where she will resume her place as a judge. The 27-year-old had to take time off after catching the deadly malaria. What do you think about the track so far?

Cheryl Cole: ‘Promise This’ (Preview)…
You don’t see Cheryl Cole much around these parts but I like her music and she kicks ass as an X Factor judge. You can’t deny she knows how to put out a catchy tune that just sticks in your head and she can perform her butt off, which kind of makes up for her vocal limitations I guess. I always said Ms Cole would not have gone as far as she has if it weren’t for her looks. Check out a preview of her new song ‘Promise This’ below:
