    EXCLUSIVE: Matt Morris In Denver

    February 28, 2010 /

    After a whirlwind promotional tour surrounding the release of his new album, When Everything Breaks Open, Matt Morris has found his way back home to Denver, Colorado.  In the past couple of months, Morris has gone from singer-songwriter to star – performing with Justin Timberlake on the Hope For Haiti Telethon, singing for Ellen DeGeneres, George Lopez, and David Letterman, and appearing on multiple local and cable shows.  But it was in his hometown where the very humble and grounded performer got to experience some of his new found popularity for, what seemed like, the first time. On Thursday night, he stopped by one of Denver’s premier venues, The Bluebird…

    Season 9: Top 24

    Last night, the Top 24 contestants were named for Season 9 of American Idol, and after speculation about the future of the juggernaut’s ratings (with the absence of Paula Abdul and the announcement of Simon Cowell’s departure), the world tuned in in droves to catch the new lineup of hopefuls.  Idol beat out the Olympics in the ratings war indicating the series is still a top contender for the Spring schedule.  Next week, the girls will face off in the first live telecast of the season on Tuesday, while the boys take on Wednesday night – with results on Thursday night.  The three night event will showcase the new hopefuls…

    A few weeks ago, it was announced that the Spice Girls would make a big announcement.  And after some hold up due to scheduling conflicts, it has been confirmed that the Spice Girls will reunite. However, the reunion will not actually feature the girls on stage together, but instead its their music that will be reunited with audiences across the world in a new musical headed to the West End sometime in 2012. The stage production will be named after the group’s 1998 hit “Viva Forever” and will be created by Mamma Mia! producer Judy Craymer.

    Rihanna Gettin’ Rude

    February 11, 2010 /

    Rihanna’s new single “Rude Boy” is quickly making its way up the Hot 100 chart and now she’s giving us some “boom, boom, boom” in a video to accompany the jam. The video, a modern throw back on the 80’s, reminds me of something we’d see from rapper/singer MIA and shows off a sexy, yet still hard version of the once Good Girl Gone Bad. The song wasn’t initially a favorite from her new disc, Rated R, but it’s slowly growing on me – giving me what I “want, want, want”.
