Christina Aguilera (2009-2010) "The Future"

Christina Aguilera wraps up her new album "Light & Darkness." Trick (Tricky Steward) has said he's working on the upcoming album with Christina. The idea/concept of this album is futuristic, but Christina doesn't plan to steer too far, that she loses her fans in the dust. She's still singing R&B, she's still doing pop, but it's more straight forward & she's found a medium to tie all the genre's together. Christina of course, is a very serious artist; from her transition to: bubble gum pop debut album self titled "Christina Aguilera", The "GOSPEL" (I call it) because it's so deep & it's like it just inspired you & you can take it anywhere like the bible to keep you pushing Stripped w/ her dirty, R&B, Gospel, Soul vibe, to her R&B/Jazz/Soul Marilyn Monroe-esque "SOUL music" of B2B (Back to Basics), & now she's moving on to another world on her journey through music. She's a serious vocalist & all of what she's taken in her career she plans to take it a step further with this album, while keeping her loyal, current fans happy & allow an realm for the new fans to step in.

Also, she's did a Duo with Flo-Rida. Other album news is she's worked with Sia, old time friend/write Linda Perry, Lady Tron, Santigold, M.I.A. & so much more. This is set to be her best album. Expect for the album to drop early 2010. & a single to drop accordingly. Everyone is saying Christina is killing the tracks & Christina said she learn Christina has learnt how to do things with her vocals she never thought she could do *FAINTS*.

Lastly, don't forget to check out her debut movie Burlesque along side other legend Cher late fall next year. She'll be start filming November this year. In which Tricky will score producing soundtracks from that.

Amerie to Record All new video for "Heard 'Em All" (Remix)

According to "Rap-up.com", Amerie is set to record a completely new video to the Remix of "Heard 'Em All." Which the song was originally set to feature Wayne in both the video, and official 1ST single, lol. But, apparently things didn't happen that way. Wayne just recently had a baby with I forgot which singer/actress whatever, but he was pressed for time. So, Amerie and her label could not catch up with Wayne to original pin him in the video.

They we're supposed to do the original video, and he would later to a catch shot of his verse on the song, but that didn't work out. So, her label planned to just shoot a whole new video in Miami. It is a new director this time. The director isn't Anthony anymore, now it's Dayo Harewood a Gil Green affiliate.

This is all quoted from this link: http://www.rap-up.com/2009/10/01/lil-wayne-joins-amerie-for-remix-video/ & source blog: Rap-Up.com . All I did is just reword it in my own words. So, all credit for the news it to them, not me. I just wanted to let Amerie fans know the latest news on her. Much thanks to Rap-up.com.

Amerie, Amerie, AMERIE!!! "Heard 'Em All" [UPDATED]

Here is her talkin about "In Love & War" on the VMA's Red Carpet:

Yess, I don't like that Anthony made the video black because I think the video calls for more vibrance than dark. And the dark/edgy thing is getting kind of played out, & overused right now, because everyone is doing it.

But, I can see DefJam is really behind Amerie on this project. They are really gonna go INN for her with this album, and i'm so excited. Amerie always was overrated, & was overlooked, & the woman is bad.

She's a dancer, performer, SANGER, song-writer, has her own sub-division label now called Rising Feenix Entertainment, graduated with a degree of English, & Fine Arts @ Georgetown University. WTH?!

She has always been 2nd to the other big female artist in the game when her talent had her rated to be 1st. And I feel like now she's gonna get her chance to shine. I can just feel it. She has Ciara's choreographer Jamaica.

Jamaica said she kilt the choreography, and I have confidence in her word. I just can not fuckin wait. Supposedly Lil' Wayne is supposed to be in the video version of this song, idk. But, make sure you watch the premiere of

this video Amerie "Heard 'Em All" on BET's 106th & Park starting @ 6pm/5c tomorrow (Wednesday). And buy your girl Ame's single "Heard Em' All" on all major digital music retailers now!!!

And pick up Amerie's "In Love & War" on Tuesday, November 3rd & request her latest single "Heard 'Em All" on your local radio stations.

Review of video: The video was a banger. Ame's swagg is heavy, & very evident on this

track. She's back, and killing it, and knows she is you can tell by the way she moves confidently.

Dancing is nice, average at best to me. But, the video is FIYAH!! I don't really

like the darkness of it, like I already said. But, when I saw the video. I saw

where she was going creatively with the tribal, dark, apocalyptic theme, because like she

said before she did regular tribal with "Touch." I just love her

Her creativeness, her passion, her music, her swagg, writing, she has it ALL!!

But, also I wanted to clear it up, she been back since "WHY R U", that was my fuckin song.

But, we know that was a buzz, and her label didn't promote it as much because of that, but

the single def got people back into her.

"Why R U" was real, and it perfect for the R&B/Hip Hop/Rock feel she was going for.

It was perfection.

Also check out her album prelude here: http://www.islanddefjam.com/artist/news_single.aspx?nid=5152&artistID=7356

and "Higher" here even thou it's on the prelude link too:http://www.zshare.net/audio/65693016a921b29b/

Amerie "Why R U" Vocal Range/Vocal Arrangements

Amerie, aside from Brandy, and Kelly Rowland (in my opinion) has some of the best vocal arrangements. For one, I originally posted this yesterday from my Youtube channel, cause it's connected to this blog, but it wanted to act retarded, and never posted it. Maybe it was because I wrote like 4 paragraphs on the whole thing, lol

Anyhoo... i'm gonna review the video from start to finish ("Why R U")

At the beginning bridge she sings a series of notes through (E4-G4-E4-G4-Eb4):

*She basically kept going from lower, higher continuously through the bridge. Specifically speakin she went starting a E4, up 2 notes to G4, back down 2 notes to E4, back up 2 notes to G4, and down 2 notes and a semitone to Eb4, INCREDIBLE!!

Then, she repeatedly hits C5 at "Battle" of the bridge goes back through a series of notes up, and down. Hits C5 again just before she starts the chorus. Then, goes back down and harmonizes a G3 in her lower register. Amerie doesn't have the most expansive or thick lower register, but for her to harmonize the G3 all throughout the background vocals, is plain genius. Then, at the end of the Chorus, she hits a series of C5's, including a few in the background including with her singature Oh, Oh, Oh ab-libs.

Next, part of the song around 1:44, she goes through another series of notes through the middle bridge of the song (A4-D5-A4-C5-A4).

*That means she went from low A4 up 3 notes to D5, back down 3 notes to A4, back up 2 notes to C5, and back down 2 notes to A4.

Fuckin incredible!!! I mean to hit the notes so swiftly, transitioning higher lower through the bridge, WHO THE FUCK ELSE DOIN IT?!, lol

She goes through another series of notes, then hits right back up till the middle-end of her chest register to E5 and immediately back down to D5.

Most singers have trouble hitting that note, or notes like that, but Amerie has no trouble hitting those notes at all. She hit E5-D5 about 3 times during the song, and numerous C5's back to back with ease, and on top of that, went through a lot of up, and downs through notes in the song. After, the E5-D5 she goes back to the chorus harmonizin the G3 in the background, then hitting back to back C5's after that. Then, slides/riffs up to a beautiful C5 at around 2:15 (my fave part of the song) Hits another D5 near the end of the chorus, so fiercly, and harmonizes the G3 again, then around 2:39 shoots back up to a E5-D5. Harmonizes the G3 again, then hits a series of C5's in the lead and background vocals of the song. Then, end the song with her repeated low note harmonizations, and the C5's.

Amerie is underrated, very. Her voice is throaty at times. But, it adds to her sound. Her vocals are like rock, funky, edgy, rock and roll like, so it adds to her sound; especially her signature Go-Go sound crafted by Rich Harrison. She said her vocals got damaged at a basketball game or something earlier in life, so that's y her vocals are throaty, but who cares?! P!nk and Christina Aguilera vocals are throaty, but it just adds edge to their voices, and makes the all the while more amazing. She still knocks the notes out of the ball park, and never strains hitting the notes.

Amerie has no problem hitting the top, end of her chest register (F5-G5), which quite the few artist have a problem with even reaching left alone hitting or sustaining. Like on the DC Fulfilled tour, she did her run/riff with F#5 near the end of "1 Thing". And also she has an exceptional Head voice. She hit a Soprano C sharp (C#6) at the end of song "All I Have" off her also titled, debut album "All I Have." Amerie has to be one of the best vocalist around, primarily best lyric Soprano. She's possibly even a full lyric Soprano. Her strength is in her chest register, and head voice. Her voice may be lyric, and seemingly kinda thin, but it doesn't mean she can't SANG, cause woman SANGS her heart out!

Anyooo.. special thanks to my buddy, mariahcareynum1fan on youtube. Go to her channel; subscribe to her channel, rate her vids, favorite her videos, comment on her videos. She's amazing at what she does (Vocal vids), so don't forget to scroll by her channel, and give her a holla. She actually did this particular vid for me, I had request like 2 days ago, and she really didn't have to do that. Welp.. just wanted to let you all know how amazing Amerie is vocally. That is all, lol.

Jason Derulo' : On the Set *NEW PICS*

Jason Derulo is currently on the set of his new music video for his hit single "Whatcha Say", the song is currently a Digital Gainer on Billboard Hot 100. It has jumped from #24 to #13 this week. And that is without a video, and limited performances. He just punchin everybody right on out the game. The single is probably set to enter into billboard hot 100 top 10 next week, especially with the video coming soon. He's currently one of my new fave artist as of right now. He's talented (Sings, dances, choregraphs, writes music, acts, etc.), he's fuckin handsome, and I LOVE his songs, he only got 2 on his myspace, but both of the songs I LOVE!!

Anyhoo... the pics from the video set:

Jason Derulo : ["Whatcha Say"]

Jason Derulo. Most of you all are probably like who the hell is he? Seriously, I don't know who he is myself, so I had to do a little research on him, and there is very little information on him besides his lil bio on his Myspace page which i'll leave post a link to later in this post. But, before I do that i'd like to tell you all how I came about him very briefly. Well basically, as you all know from my bio on my blogspot; I have a Zune. So, I was browsing Zune Marketplace for new songs/music since I have a Zune Pass that allows me to a subscription of unlimited music listens & download's, and his songs was plastered @ the bottom with the single made me look @ his song/material cause all I saw was the artwork, and it was basic @ that. But, I think cause it was a new song that I hadn't seen on there. Then, I listened to "Whatcha Say" and I was in LOVE!!, I normally don't really like songs on the 1st listen, normally it takes me some days, or continuous listens to like a song, but this one was different. But, I think 1 reason I loved the song was because it sampled one of my favorite songs from back in the day, by Imogen Heap - "Hide and Seek". The single has released to radio, and it has currently peak @ #24 on Billboard Hot 100 (Which it's last peak last week was #51, so that was a big jump), & for iTunes customers #5 on iTunes top 100 songs, since yesterday.

Other than that Jason is a American Pop-singer-songwriter, dancer, choreographer, vocal producer, and actor from Miramar, Florida. He has worked with such artist as Lil Wayne, Cassie, Kat Deluna, Donnie Klang, and 7 Aurelius (whoever the f that is, lol). I guess you can say he's multi-talented, lol

BTW, he's cute as hell too (well atleast to me anyways) *winks*, lol

Anyhoo...

His Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/jasonderulo

Billboard Charting link: http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?begin=21&order=position

Yess, I get my facts right, neva catch me slippin, lol

Single artwork:

But, he look better on this one (once again to me):

Make sure, everybody atleast listen to his single "Whatcha say", if you love catchy, dancey, pop music, i'm sure you'll love this song; and you SHOULD, PURCHASE IT!! NO FREE DOWNLOADS OVER HE-UH!! U SHALL PAY!!, lol. You can take a listen to his single off of his Myspace page, and you can download his single @ any major music distributor/retailer, ex: Amazon mp3, iTunes, Napster, Zune Martketplace, etc... etc...

Amerie's new single

Amerie, officially snaps on the scene after her hot, funky, r&b, rock "Buzz/1st single" "Why R U" with her new tribal, raggae smash "Heard Em All." Ame throws her hard, undeniable swagg on the song, stating lyrics like, "You can pop tags on a Louis bag, but it won't get you under my covers." Of course the song is catchy & repetitive; which is what singles, especially smash singles are, and should be. It's dancaeable, & has meaning. May not be a deep meaning that tells a story. But, it's basically saying she's heard it all from these dudes; the weak game, and none of the gifts you can buy her is gonna get her to sleep with you or cuff her up. So, everyone look out for the single to impact radio play, & become a Digital Download soon. Ame's "In Love & War" hits November 3rd after a much wanted push back; make sure you all pick that up.
