Christina Aguilera's Bionic Out Now!!!!

I bought Christina Aguilera's newest release Bionic. This album is a totally different style than Back To Basics. I LOVE this album and kept it on repeat all week. It's perfect for me to work out to. Christina worked with Tricky Stewart, newcomer Nicki Minaj, and Linda Perry again. Now a days the style to tearing up the charts is dance pop or electronic type sound. Christina keeps reinventing herself, but still staying true to her vocals and sexuality. Christina's voice seems to have matured even more. She still has her strong vocals but she isnt all over the place. Plenty of times I have read that she is always all over the place with her vocals like she can't control them. In my opinion, Christina could always control her vocals, its just how she wanted to express herself at that time. My favorite songs are "Not Myself Tonight," "WooHoo Ft. Nicki Minaj," "Sex For Breakfast," "Lift Me Up" "All I Need" "I Am" and "You Lost Me". I can't forget the beautiful intro "My Heart" that features hubby Jordan and their baby boy Max. The cutest intro features Jordan trying to get Max to "sing like mommy". This album gets a B+ from me.
Don't let me forget Linda Perry once again is featured on the album with credits of writing and I believe producing. Christina can never do wrong in my eyes. She co-writes beautiful ballads. "I Am" has amazing harmonies, I even got chills down my spine at one point in the middle of the track.

I know that I'm not that good with words at times. Just make sure you got listen to the tracks that I mentioned if you don't by the album. Even though I recommend you buy it.

Charice's Debut Album Released Today

Take a listen to Charice's debut album "Charice" out today. Charice has a voice to blow your mind. Such a tiny body can produce such powerful vocals. Charice was first featured on Oprah. This girl will go far, and I predict she will be around for a very long time. Stay grounded Charice and don't let the hollywood life get to you. You can also catch Charice on QVC tonight! She will perform tracks from her album tonight at 8pm EST on QVC's QSessions Live.

I love Pyramid and In This Song.

Taylor Swift Donates $500,000 To Tennessee

Taylor Swift donated $500,000 to flood relief in Nashville, which will go directly to various flood relief organizations in the city (the flooding killed 30 in three states).

“Being at home during the storm, I honestly could not believe what was happening to the city and the people I love so dearly,” the 20-year-old country cutie told The Associated Press via e-mail. “Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love. I have always been proud to be a Nashvillian, but especially now, seeing the love that runs through this city when there are people in crisis.”

Listen to the track on KatyPerry.com! It was produced and co-written by Katy, Dr. Luke, Max Martin and Benny Blanco. Katy recently spoke to MTV, “We nailed it: It’s roller-skating! It’s ’90s! It’s Ace of Base! It’s Cyndi Lauper! It’s like all these colors and more… It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be one of those records that is everybody’s favorite guilty pleasure.”

I LOVE this song. I need to be the pool chilling to this song. I will be playing this at all my BBQ's until the radio plays it out. I KNOW they will.

New Video: Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed

Miley Cyrus spoke about the video saying, “The video isn’t about being sexy or about who can wear less clothes". Miley wants to make sure people see that it isn't about showing your body, “It’s about explaining the song and living the lyrics… I don’t want to be in a cage. I want to be free and do what I love.”

The song is very catchy and perfect for her breaking free from Hannah Montana. Miley is growing up. She's at the right age to want to do more mature things. Britney was dressed just the same at her age. For the first time I'm saying this, let Miley do her thang and clap it up for her performance in this video.

New Music: Miley Cyrus - Cant Be Tamed

Miley Cyrus is done with Hannah Montana and ready to grow up. The Disney queen has a new track called "Can't Be Tamed". Miley's voice isn't that strong so the whole electro-pop sound works in her favor. Good job on the person who mixed her vocals. It's going to blow up on the radios and be played probably more times than "Party In The U.S.A." and "The Climb" so be ready if your not a Miley fan. The music video for "Can't Be Tamed" will premiere on May 4 on E! News, and the song will be available as a digital single on May 18.

New Video: Christina Aguilera - Not Myself Tonight

I am so glad Christina is back and I can't wait for her new album 'Bionic' to come out.
