Giveaway: Kelly Clarkson & The Fray Tickets!
Kelly Clarkson sure has had a busy summer! Her latest album ‘Stronger’ has already delivered three hit singles, she served as a mentor on ABC’s series Duets, landed herself a big-wig boyfriend and has been traveling around the U.S. with fellow rockers, The Fray.

Artist To Watch: Josiah Leming
After capturing the attention of millions across the world, Josiah Leming is preparing for the success that was apparent since he was a small child. It was at age 8 that the American born performer self-taught himself piano and began composing music in his childhood home in Morristown, Tennessee. The second of nine children, Leming was a natural talent from the very beginning. A talent he was eager to share with the world. When Josiah turned 17, he took a leap of faith to follow his dream.

Crouching Martin, Hidden Rihanna
The long awaited video for Coldplay‘s recent collaboration with Rihanna surfaced online this morning. “Princess of China” is the band’s forth single from the album Mylo Xyloto and created quite a stir when the album was released, including the R&B diva. The video features the band’s Chris Martin as a stealth ninja (kicks and swords included) and Rihanna as a self-proclaimed [on Twitter] “gangsta goth geisha.” The two are shown in a variety of scenes that are reminiscent of those from the 2000 flick ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ and the clip is edited to appear as a trailer for a tragic love story.
