REVIEW Florida Georgia Line Feat. Nelly – Cruise (Remix)

Florida Georgia Line Feat. Nelly – Cruise (Remix)

Rating: 9/10

Okay I thought I was going to be the last person to like this song but truth to be told I really  REALLY like this song.  I twang really works for the song.  It starts off like the original then it gets off the remix with the auto tuned I got my windows down part.  From there the beat changes to a better country/dance version.  I also loved Nelly’s part in the song.  I really think this song is going to be a smash for the summer.  It is a must by.  Side note the video is freaking amazing. Lots of hot women in it along some hot cars.  Everyone needs to check that out.

Lil Wayne has signed Paris Hilton

Lil Wayne just signed Paris Hilton to a record deal .... and she's planning on dropping a brand new album in the very near future!! 

 

Wayne's mentor -- Birdman -- confirmed the news on Twitter ... saying, "Lil Wayne's Cash Money family has a new member! Paris Hilton: RichgangRichgirl."

 

According to Showbiz411, Hilton's album will focus on house music -- no surprise, since she's been DJing at various clubs all over the world ... and training with some house music bigshots for years.

 

The album -- Hilton's first since 2006 -- will feature bona fide stars like Lil Wayne and Afrojack. 

 

Paris told Showbiz411, "[The new album] is a lot different than my first album. It's really going to be house music."

That should be interesting combo.

Kelly Rowland & Paulina Rubio Join The X-Factor

In the continuing game of singing competition musical chairs, "The X-Factor" announced its new lineup of judges in preparation for the show's return this fall.

According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, longtime Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland and Latin star Paulina Rubio will join the FOX singing talent show, joining returning judge Demi Lovato and show founder Simon Cowell.

Both additions to the judges' table are no strangers to such competitions, though. Rowland judged the British counterpart of "The X-Factor," while Rubio took a spot on the Mexican version of "The Voice."

The inclusion of Rowland and Rubio creates a first for American singing competitions. When it premieres this fall, the show will have the first judging panel with a female majority, the three ladies outnumbering former "American Idol" judge Cowell.

Rubio becomes the second Latin music star with American crossover success ("Don't Say Goodbye" peaked at No. 41 on the Hot 100 and found its way onto a NOW compilation in 2002) to coach a U.S. singing competition, following in the footsteps of Shakira, who is currently a part of "The Voice," though she'll be leaving by season's end.

Rowland and Rubio replace the departing L.A. Reid, who had been with the show since its first season, and Britney Spears, who left "The X-Factor" after just one season.

Kelly Rowland might be the new US X Factor Judge

Fox’s The X Factor is looking to have plenty of girl power next fall. The judges panel will likely consist of executive producer Simon Cowell and three female judges. One will be returning judge Demi Lovato, as the network previously announced. If all goes according to plan, another will be singer, dancer and Super Bowl halftime show-stopper Kelly Rowland. The Grammy-winning Destiny’s Child founding member has previously been floated as a potential judge in the press, but EW can exclusively report she’s firming up a deal to join the show. Rowland should feel quite comfortable at the judges table; she has extensive on-camera experience, from serving as a judge on the eighth season of the UK version of The X Factor to performing on Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance. We’re not certain who will secure the third judge spot, though we’re hearing Latin singer-actress Paulina Rubio is in talks. The deals will have to be completed soon — The X Factor starts production on season three on Tuesday. The new judges will replace season two panelists Britney Spears and L.A. Reid

I hope so.

Danity Kane Is Getting Back Together!!!

http://www.tmz.com/2013/05/13/danity-kane-reunion-back-together-diddy-video-damaged-song/

Diddy's gonna be pissed -- TMZ has learned, Danity Kane (the band he created and later destroyed) is reuniting ... without his blessing.

Four original members of the group -- Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard, and Aundrea Fimbres -- grabbed lunch today in L.A. with a new manager to discuss the reunion ... and sources tell TMZ, it's definitely happening. We're told they plan to record and tour.

We asked the girls if Diddy was involved this time around ... their response -- "Who's that?"

You'll recall, Diddy created the group back in 2005 during "Making the Band 3" and later signed them to Bad Boy Records. In 2009, Diddy fired the entire group (with the exception of Dawn Richard).

It's unclear who really owns the name "Danity Kane" -- but we're told the girls are going to use it regardless. Translation: you can expect a nasty legal battle.

As for why Diddy eventually gave the group the chop -- there have been all kinds of rumors ... but we're told the girls felt Diddy was screwing them big-time in the money department.

We called Diddy's people -- so far ... no response.

Demi Lovato Q&A With Billboard

"'Unbroken' wasn't my favorite album, and this one is my favorite one so far," the 20-year-old pop star tells Billboard.

Last Tuesday (May 7), Demi Lovato asked her 13 million Twitter followers, "What's your favorite song off #DEMI??" Her fourth studio album, "Demi," was to be released on May 14 through Hollywood Records, but the 20-year-old pop singer posted the full album online eight days earlier, and wanted to get some instant feedback. The question was retweeted 18,000 times, with responses ranging from the sassy synth flare-up "Fire Starter" to the yearning ballad "Nightingale" to "Heart Attack," the album's lead single, which currently sits at No. 12 on the Hot 100 chart.

"I actually wanted to see what everyone's favorite was," Lovato tells Billboard, "but there wasn't one song that stood out as everyone's favorite. A lot of the time the fans were like, 'Oh, there's too many good ones to name!' And that was really cool… but I actually wanted to know what their favorite was."

Demi Lovato Unveils 'Demi' Album with 'Release Timer' Twitter Campaign

It's a good problem for Lovato to have -- two and a half years after withdrawing from a world tour to enter a treatment facility and confront "physical and emotional issues," the singer has become one of the most in-demand young artists in pop music, thanks in part to a comeback album, 2011's "Unbroken," that spawned the radio smash "Give Your Heart a Break" and netted her a spot on the judges panel of the U.S. version of "The X Factor" last year. "Demi" is a more diverse album than "Unbroken" (read the Billboard track-by-track review here), expanding Lovato's repertoire while keeping her powerful pipes front and center; it's an album that carries a wealth of Top 40 offerings, and could very well continue the singer's upward trajectory towards ubiquity.

Before "Demi's" release, Lovato chatted with Billboard about idolizing vocal powerhouses, re-upping with "The X Factor" and why "Demi" captures who she is in a way that "Unbroken" did not.


Billboard: "Demi" is out this Tuesday. Are you the type of person that keeps a close eye on first-week album sales?

Lovato: I'm definitely the type of person that's gonna be watching it and wanting it to do well, but I have to tell myself that music isn't just coming out for a week -- it's about the long run. I'm putting this music out there to be around for a long time, so if it does well this next week, great, and if it doesn't, whatever, because I'll hopefully be around in this industry for a long time.

Your last album, "Unbroken," became your best-selling album and had the biggest hit of your career. Did you go into "Demi" with more pressure or less pressure on yourself?

I think with every album there's more pressure, because you always want to do better than the last album. I want a career that's going to last me a long time, so in order to do that, you have to keep making great music. For me, "Unbroken" wasn't my favorite album, and this one is my favorite one so far. I put a lot of work into it, and I think it's going to be my most successful album to date.

What about "Unbroken" made it resonate with you less?

I don't know! I got sick of the songs. When I would play them onstage, I was just like, 'Oh my gosh, I can't play these anymore.' And I have to wonder, was that album really who I was? Was I just experimenting with sounds? I think I wanted to try something more R&B, but when I tried that, it wasn't really me. And so with this album, I'm so excited to play new music rather than getting tired of the songs.

What message did you want these new songs to convey?

I always want to make positive music. Obviously I'm gonna have my songs about heartbreak and break-ups, but with this album… I get sick of listening to the radio and hearing only music that's talking about partying and drinking and getting high. That's not what I do. It's not what I stand for. Maybe a couple years ago I would have loved it, but I'm not the same person I was a few years ago. Now when I listen to the radio, I can't relate to a lot of it.

With my album this time, I wanted to go into it keeping in mind that I want to listen to stuff on the radio that I can relate to. I think the reason why artists like Adele and Taylor Swift are so relatable is because they talk about their experiences and pour it out in their songs. There's a lot more to their music than just partying and going out.

It could have been easy for you to bring in a bunch of guest vocalists for the album, but there's only one feature -- Cher Lloyd on "Really Don't Care."

I think I needed to make an album where I established my artistry before I collaborated with a ton of people. On the last album, I collaborated with a lot of people, and at the end of the day, I felt like, 'Is it my album, or a bunch of people's album?' If I'm coming out with something that represents who I am today, as an independent woman, I want it to be very obvious that my album is about me and my life, and not about a bunch of people coming together and making music. That's great, and it's fun to collaborate with people, but I have an opportunity to express who I am, and I didn't want a bunch of people on the album trying to help me do that.

The most personal song on the album is the final track, "Warrior," which references everything you went through before "Unbroken." How hard is it to write a song like that?

That song was probably the hardest and easiest song to write on the album. I was writing about personal experiences, and it's the type of song where you can't fit all of it into one song -- you can't put all of the emotions into one song. It was the hardest song to write because it was the most vulnerable for me, and you can't sum up that experience in three or four minutes. But it was the easiest song at the same time because it's something that I wanted to say. Like I said in the first line [of the song], 'This is a story that I've never told/I gotta get this off my chest to let it go.' I wanted to let it go.

What was your reaction the first time you heard the finished song?

I… was really pleased with it. It's still one of those songs that I don't like to listen to in front of other people, because I feel really vulnerable and almost naked when other people hear it.

When you were at the Billboard Film & TV Music Conference last fall, you talked about never having to go the "sexy route" with your music, because that never felt true to your personality. Who were some of your female musical idols growing up?

My [recent] inspirations are people like Kelly Clarkson, and the people that I listened to when I was growing up were more known for their vocals rather than their sex appeal. I had a lot of respect for Whitney Houston, and Christina Aguilera, on some songs where she was really amazing and wasn't trying to be sexy or anything like that. I just found that I had more respect for artists that didn't talk about that stuff, and those were the ones that were more successful.

I feel like, if you have talent, you don't have to go down that route. If you don't have to sing about drinking and partying and sex, then don't. I have a little sister that's listening to this music -- the last thing I want to do is release music that is gonna influence her in a way that will take her down the wrong path. My dad and my family hear this music! I don't want to feel too uncomfortable when they're listening to it.

Are there any up-and-coming pop artists who have impressed you with their vocal ability?

Ariana Grande. She has vocals that are just unbelievable, and I have so much respect for her because she is a true singer. She's someone that I feel like is going to have a long career because of her voice, and I think she's going to be a huge name. She's gonna be great.

"Demi" is being released a few months before "The X Factor" comes back in the fall -- no one would have blamed you for taking a break from the show, or leaving it altogether, to promote your new album, but you decided to come back for the third season. Why?

There are multiple reasons. When you have the opportunity to be in front of America every single week several times a week, that's a very incredible opportunity, not only because your fans get to know you better, but… I was on the Disney Channel forever, and was waiting for that right job that would help me cross over to the mainstream world. I was not only in front of my fans every week, but I was also in front of adults. I never used to get recognized by adults, and now when I'm at the airport or the grocery store, the guy behind the register will be like, "I love you on 'X Factor'!" It's really awesome to have expanded my fan base.

And there's also how much ['X Factor'] did for me last year. I learned so much, and I just want to do it again. I don't like it when you attach yourself to a judge, and then the judges switch up and you're like, 'Oh no!' I didn't want any of my fans to think that was me -- I didn't want them to get excited for me to come back, and then I don't come back, you know? I'm so excited to learn even more next season.

Katharine McPhee Talks 'Smash' Cancelation

Just one day before NBC officially announced the cancelation of Smash, star Katharine McPhee talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the inevitable conclusion of the fictional Broadway drama.

“Sure, I wish that it could have five more seasons, but we had two great seasons and all I can say is I loved every moment of it,” said McPhee, whose costars included Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston, and Megan Hilty. “I loved getting to the set, I loved the people, I loved my crew. We did amazing things on the show in two years.”

The former American Idol runner-up is certainly no stranger to show business. She's been trying to break into acting for as long as she's been singing, and having grown up in Los Angeles, McPhee knows what trials lie ahead. "With this business, you can never predict what people are going to like or love or hate," she told THR. "All I know is that when the show started and people were so excited about the pilot, I was excited to finally be a part of something that could showcase me. Everyone has perceptions about what you’re capable of and what you can do and this show was a huge gift.”

Soon after news broke on Friday that the network was pulling the plug on the show two seasons in, the 29-year-old took to Twitter with a lengthy response to her fans. Among McPhee's tweets: "Love you all! Your passion is so heartwarming! Life is about chapters and the relationships you make along the way. Next chapter! Exciting. And I love this girl @meganhiltly soooooooo much! One of the many great things I gained!"

Now with Smash shoots permanently wrapped, does McPhee, who said she “fell in love with New York -- the city and the people,” plan to stay on the East Coast? It's unlikely. Said McPhee: “The reality is everything I need to do and create and pursue at the moment is in L.A."

That includes working on new music for Columbia Records. Among her collaborators on songs for a forthcoming album are Linda Perry, Ryan Tedder, Salaam Remi and Sia.

Sorry for not posting

I have been super busy with school.  But the good news is I am done with College and I graduate SATURDAY.  I am so freaking excited.  So expect a lot of updates and new music reviews by Monday.
