Music Fab: Chris Brown, Lil Mama, Nicole S., Rihanna, & Danity Kane
Chris Brown’s new video for “Forever” is here. Dude releases a new vid every other day it seems like.
More videos and music news when you read the rest….
Check out Lil Mama’s new video for her new single “L.I.F.E.” off her upcoming Voice of the Young People album.
Nicole Scherzinger remixed Duran Duran’s song to do this video/promo for Caress. It’s her version of “Rio”.
Here’s Rihanna’s new single cover for “Take A Bow”:

rihannadaily.com
Apparently Universal pulled a last minute switch up on the artwork.

They’re shooting the video soon and it should debut this summer. I guess it’s never too late when it comes to Diddy…
The Randomness:
- 1. A HUGE Happy Birthday to all my fellow May Day babies and Tauruses!
2. Because folks are blowing up my inbox asking about Alicia Keys’ fabulous shoes in yesterday’s previous post–the designer is Sergio Rossi from the Fall ‘08 line and the dress is Calvin Klein. Her stylist Wouri Vice is killin’ her looks right now…

So the Rocsi/Terrence 106 & Park walk-off-the-set-drama is over. Or is it? Rocsi's people say things were blown out of proportion. But viewers think there's more to the story.

“bad girl” is one of my fav tracks off “welcome to the doll house. can’t wait to see the video; hope diddy don’t play them and make another cheap ass video like “damaged”…that was some bitchassness on his part.

Ursher “in this club ” video was a bore.. the dancing was weak… he needs to sit down.. i’d rather watch chris brown, much more entertaining, and he’s more consistent live than usher…

On May 1, 2008 at 8:51 am | Reply | QuoteI like lil mama song and video. I knew she could sing, it’s in her voice when she raps. She would probably make a better singer than rapper but in order to get the yun’guns attention, rapping is the best way to go. It’s the only thing they respond to these days. Keep up the good work lil mama!!

Nicole needs to hang it up! She is not a solo singer - she better go back to the Pussycat Dolls or just forget singing on a whole and become a model or spokesperson for Herbal Essence or some other hair product, i’m just saying…………..

On May 1, 2008 at 10:42 am | Reply | QuoteI really rally like Lil Mama in this video. Her natural beauty was best reflected here. Maybe the stylists should get a clue and stop clownin up her look. She’s actually quite attractive. If they stop putting clown makeup on her it would do her some justice. Because she has a hard jaw line she needs softness…the hair and makeup could help. I didn’t like the black eyeballs either.
Hated the Duran Duran cover - she might’ve done better singing it in Spanish. She did not do it ANY justice - she or whomever gave it to her remixed like that. I like Nicole too but that was too BUBBLEGUM for me. That song is sexy and she pinked it! UGH.
Hate the DK song…well, don’t hate it just prally need to hear it a couple more times… I did like the “transform” part. Who writes this stuff?
CB - NEXT! didn’t feel it at all… that was a madonna, michael jackson, missy elliott mashup of nonsense, the girl didn’t fit, the scene didn’t fit the dancing didnt’ fit, it was just all wrong.. too much of everything.

By the way, so glad you mentioned who made those shoes! Like a cooc I kept starring at them and going back to them throughout the day thinking about whether I’ve seen them in stores or not, who makes them, and how long is the waiting list for them b/c I need them in my closet like yesterday! Now I know….I LOVE shoes
