Amy Winehouse Estate: 2 Posthumous Albums Release !

The collaboration between Nas and Amy Winehouse on "Cherry Wine" wasn't the last you'd heard of the late  Winehouse!










To be more specific, in a recent interview with BBC 6 Music, Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse, revealed that there are plans underway to release not one, but possibly two, posthumous albums from the fallen U.K. singer. This is in part due to the fact that there's unreleased material which wasn't used on last year's "Lioness: Hidden Treasures collection".

Mitch Winehouse quoted as saying: "I'm not sure that there is much more but I'm sure that we will get at least one other album out, if not two. There are loads of covers, loads of them, but the problem is we don't want want to rip anybody off. When her fans are so precious to us we don’t want to put out dross."

We bet that Amy did an amazing job! What do you think?

Official London 2012 Olympic Games Song

No one can deny that The Olympic Games is a major event that embraces a lot of values and ideals. In case you were wondering who is going to perform the "Official London 2012 Olympic Games Song", the answer is Muse!!!



Muse has been issued a huge task. They were asked to make the official song for the "London 2012 Olympic Games" in their native England. What is fortunate is that they're used to creating epic things, like a dubstep-influenced album this year. So, they came up with "Survival." No doubt that this is absolutely epic! We bet that certainly should do their country and fans worldwide proud.

"Survival" certainly gives off an enormous vibe. The song reminds us a classic rock jam that Queen or ELO would've crafted, rife with strings, pianos, guitars and choir vocals. And with lyrics like "I'll light the fuse/ And I'll never lose/ and I choose to survive," you are inspired to run a marathon. 

 

What do you think of "The Official London 2012 Olympic Games Song"?

We absolutely love it !!!

Katy Perry "Wide Awake" Video: Perry Punches Prince Charming( Russell Brand) In The Face

While Katy Perry stayed relatively mum about her divorce from Russell Brand, her new fairy tale-inspired video "Wide Awake" speaks volumes to where her head is about the split, especially the part where she punches Prince Charming!

The video, which debuted Tuesday night, had almost 650,000 views early Wednesday. In it, Katy appears to be smitten by the Prince Charming. When he leans in for a kiss, she notices he's got his fingers crossed behind his back, leading to her punching him in the face.

It has to be noted that Brand filed for divorce from Perry December 30 following a 14-month marriage which began with a lavish India wedding.

Speaking with Ellen DeGeneres about the breakup last month, Russell Brand claimed: "I still love her as a human being. But, sometimes when you’re in a relationship I suppose it doesn’t work out, does it?  But that doesn’t mean I regret it or anything. I was very happy to be married with her. She’s such a beautiful human being and I just have only love and positivity for her."

In her chat with Ellen, Katy cryptically told: "I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect, and we know we’re not perfect, at all."

What do you think of the part where Katy Perry punches Prince Charming?

Lisa Marie Presley Waves Goodbye To Scientology Through Her New Single !

Much like "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", Lisa Marie Presley's 5th track on the album "Storm & Grace" is sultry and moody in the best way possible. After listening to the lyrics to "So Long though", it's pretty clear that she's waving goodbye to her former religion. ( Scientology )

Although she's been a faithful member of"L. Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientology" since her childhood, she's moving on and is telling us all why one verse at a time.

Check out the lyrics below to Lisa Marie Presley's song "So Long" from her newest album, which drops on May 15th. Lisa said farewell to the churches that "don't have a soul" … AFTER THE JUMP!

So Long

    This here is a city without lights
    Those are all the people without eyes
    Churches, they don't have a soul
    Soup for sale without a bowl
    Religion so corrupt and running lives
    Farewell, fair weathered friends
    I can't say I'll miss you in the end

    Chorus:
    So long, seems that I was so wrong
    Seems I wasn't that strong
    Dead wrong, and now I'm long gone
    Wrong side, I've been sleeping on the wrong side
    Stains all over my soul I can't hide
    Nothing's more clear than goodbye

    These roads they don't lead to anything
    These people they talk, they say nothing
    Actors who don't have a part
    Heartfelt people with no heart
    I'll find a new crowd
    Make a new start
    Farewell, fair weathered friends
    I can't say I'll miss you in the end

    (Chorus)

    So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, say nothing at all if you've nothing nice to say.

Freddie Mercury Performs Live At The "We Will Rock You" Musical !

There are rumors that Freddie Mercury is returning to the stage just like Tupac did!

Unlike Tupac's recent Coachella collaboration with Snoop Dogg, the legendary frontman of "Queen" will not be seen as a hologram, but rather "an optical illusion."

It's probably going to be amazing because guitarist Brian May stated "People will come out saying, "did we actually see Freddie?"

It has to be mentioned that the stunt will take place on May 14th at "London's Dominion Theatre" during the 10th anniversary of the musical "We Will Rock You", a show based on the band's music.

It turns out that the band has been planning for Freddie to appear on stage again for quite some time. Brian May was actually a little bummed that Dr. Dre beat "Queen" to the punch with the Tupac hologram and explained:

    "It's a little unfortunate they did that thing with Tupac as we've been trying to make Freddie appear on the stage for quite a while. The hologram technique is something we've looked at ourselves but I think probably for a show that runs eight shows a week it's not really practical."

Are you excited about the fact that you will watch Freddie's "optical illusion" in action??

Jennifer Lopez One Love

Jennifer Lopez's "One Love" is a song included on Jennifer Lopez' seventh studio album "Love?" Just for the record, the album was released on April 28, 2011. Produced during the pregnancy of her twins Emme and Max, Love? is Lopez's most personal album to date, taking inspiration from the birth of her twins and her own experiences with love. It has to be said that recording for the album began in 2009.

The contemporary R&B song "One Love" was written by Lopez, Anesha Birchett, Antea Shelton and Emile "D'Mile" Dernst II, the song's producer.

"One Love" received generally positive acclaim from music critics who cited it as a stand-out track on Love? Critics made note of the song's indirect manner, which had references to Lopez's ex-boyfriends and husbands, such as Sean Combs and Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez's "One Love" lyrics are displayed below. Enjoy...

ook a shot, with the bad boy from the block
picked my love right from the start
mister wrong, he plays his part
back to the beginning, now round two
try my luck with something new
we danced until we said "I do"
my luck is bad, no more us, too
no me and you

[Chorus]
is it too much to ask
for a real love,
something that'll last?
is there one love,
only once in a lifetime?
it's so hard to find,
the perfect one to call mine
is there one love
somebody that compliments me?
and makes me wanna never leave?
made just right for me?
is there one love, one love, one love, one love?
it's take three, could there be a part for me?
came and swept me off my feet
went nowhere but kept the ring
once again i'm lonely
number four, he sang to me but i'm not sure
so worn out, but love just saw
made me wanna try once more
and i couldn't say no

[Chorus]

what's wrong with the girl
wanting everything
good love, real trust, true meaning?
who truly completes me?
i'm good on my own, but i have to know

is there one love
only once in a lifetime?
it's so hard to find,
the perfect one to call mine
is there one love
somebody that compliments me?
and makes me wanna never leave?
made just right for me?
is there one love, one love, one love, one love?

Adam Lambert Is Officially The Frontman Of Queen !!!

Queen legendary rocker Brian May is adamant late legend Freddie Mercury would give singer Adam Lambert the "seal of approval" as the eccentric star prepares to front the band at an upcoming festival.



The former "American Idol" contestant will perform in Mercury's place when Queen headline the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth over the summer.

And guitarist May insists the band's iconic star, who passed away in 1991, would be happy with their latest addition.

He states: "Judging by my incoming mail, this decision will make a lot of people very happy. It's a worthy challenge for us, and I'm sure Adam would meet with Freddie's approval! And what better place to revisit, and walk those emotional paths than Knebworth? It will be a rush."


 Lambert admits he can't wait to get on stage with his heroes, adding: "I'm completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon. The thought of sharing the stage for a full set is so beautifully surreal. I'm honoured to be able to pay my respects to Freddie's memory. He's a personal hero of mine and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know the evening will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger (Taylor, drummer) and the rest of the band I know magic will be on display."

 It has to be mentioned Lambert previously performed with the surviving members of Queen at the MTV European Music Awards in November.

"Glee" Star Pays Tribute to Whitney Houston !

Amber Riley's Glee cover of "I Will Always Love You" by the late Whitney Houston has been unveiled.

The 25-year-old's character Mercedes Jones performed the track in the Fox sitcom's Valentine's Day special, which aired in the US last night.

Riley's tribute had been planned long before Houston passed away at the Beverly Hilton this weekend at the age of 48. 

As previously reported, the episode was tweaked to pay tribute to Whitney Houston, with the show closing on a title card reading: "Whitney Houston 1963-2012. We will always love you."

After watching her Glee performance, Riley wrote on Twitter: "Ok I got through it, only minimal tears. I hope you are proud Ms. Houston. :) thanks guys for the kind words."

Her co-star Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel) also praised Riley's rendition on the social networking site, telling her: "'I Will Always Love You,' best part of my life. Ms. Houston is bragging about you in heaven."

Speaking about her adoration for Houston at this weekend's Grammy Awards, Riley explained: "Whitney's music meant so very much to me. I was very very choked-up when I heard about her passing.

"I'd grown up listening to her voice ringing out throughout our household. I'm so speechless, I can't believe that she passed."

How did you find Riley's tribute to Whitney Houston?

For me it was awesome. I could even say that it was by far better than Jennifer Hudson's rendition at the Grammys!
