Artist To Watch: Brian Fuente
Very rarely can a vocalist take the stage in a crowded venue and immediately grab the attention of the entire room. Brian Fuente is a frontman with a ‘voice’ that has been known to turn heads since age nine, when he first picked up a guitar and taught himself to rock. The seasoned singer-songwriter hails from Ridgeland, Mississippi, a small town just outside of Jackson. The product of a guitar player and jazz vocalist, Fuente performed as a teen in between his mother’s sets at local clubs. Growing up in a musical household he later found his way on the road playing his own shows at clubs and venues, where…

Bad Romance Pt. II
Last night Christina Aguilera debuted her new video, “Not Myself Tonight”, from her upcoming release Bionic. The new mother shows off her sexy, and yes “Dirrty” side, in the new clip, but it’s the undeniable similarities to Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” video that have people on the net in a frenzy. While Aguilera continues to deny that she’s trying to copycat anything that Gaga, or anyone else for that matter, are doing, she will have some explaining to do after people catch the video. Perez Hilton posted a side by side comparison of some of the elements directly taken from Gagaloo’s video. Check it out and then watch the premiere…

The Grapevine
A lot of news to report in the world of music and I’m pleased to say a lot of it is in the name of charity. With the devastation continuing to overtake Haiti, celebrities across the board are putting their names, brands, and money towards the cause. For music fans, that means we’ve got a lot of great charitable music to buy. The Hope For Haiti compilation, live recordings from the telethon, is the biggest selling album this week, also making it the highest selling charity CD of all time. Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris‘ version of the song, “Hallelujah” from the telethon is the most downloaded song on iTunes…

Hope For Haiti
Last night network and cable television was filled with Hope. The Hope For Haiti telethon aired last night in hopes of raising funds for relief in Haiti. Live from London, New York, and Los Angeles, stars of all kinds gathered in support. Performances by Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Jay Z, Rihanna, Bono, Sting, Sheryl Crow, Alicia Keys, Keith Urban, and many more made up the two hours of what will hopefully be a continuation of support from Americans to the country that is in such need right now.

Artist To Watch: Matt Morris
If you haven’t heard the name Matt Morris, or found yourself jamming out to his tunes, you soon will. Matt, a resident of Denver, Colorado, is prepping the release of his debut album, titled “When Everything Breaks Open”. Coincidence? I think not. The soulful, pop tracks delivered on his first effort indicate that Matt is destined to break wide open. But this won’t be Morris’ first time in the spotlight. He got his start on The New Mickey Mouse Club (and there is plenty of footage to prove it), where he acted, sung, and danced his way into the hearts of many alongside Britney Spears, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, and…

Now that it’s the new year, I think I am finally over the news of Carrie Underwood‘s engagement, and am ready to move on with my own, real life. Ha! But, since it took us so long to recover from the devastating blow, I’ve left you gossip-less and surely in need of an update. So, what is the world of pop music talking about to ring in the new year? Starting with Underwood news, we’re excited to announce that Carrie will make her acting debut in an upcoming episode of How I Met Your Mother. Underwood will play Tiffany, “an enigmatic pharmaceutical sales rep and love interest” for lead character,…

…And We’re Back
WOW! That was insane – The 2009 UMS rocked our socks off – and now we are back after some much needed relaxation. We have so much to update you on, so let’s get started: Yesterday, Paula Abdul announced via Twitter (and it was confirmed by Fox this morning) that she would not be returning to Idol in its ninth season. Money seemed to be the reason behind the split and Paula was not happy with the minimal amount that producers were willing to offer her. Kara DioGuardi is officially signed for the 9th season of American Idol and will be the only female judge on the hit reality show.…

Let The Mind Control Era Begin
Christina Aguilera has been busy prepping for a return to the spotlight and from what we’re hearing, she’s coming back in a big way! Her new single, “Mind Control”, will be dropping in just few short weeks on U.S. radio. The song is said to be electric, vocally crazy and will be in the same vein as Rihanna’s “Umbrella”. She also takes cues from GaGa, although she’d never admit to that, by mixing the song with delicious auto-tune parts to add to it’s already incredible vocals.Christopher Stewart is the man behind this hit in the making and with his resume including such hits for Mariah Carey (“Touch My Body” and…
