Marina and the Diamonds on Good Morning America



Singer Marina and the Diamonds, still yet to release her debut single, appeared on Good Morning America earlier today for a surprise performance of her upcoming single, "I Won't Miss You". The version of the song was stripped down to a less-techno sound, with more acoustic instruments in it, including a grand piano, an acoustic guitar, a harp and a drumset.
Her voice throughout the song was toned down, less aggressive than in the studio recording, yet still powerful and full of emotion.
She appeared on the performing stage, sitting at a large, white grand piano which had a torn wedding dress, a rose a knife and a glass of wine resting on it, part of the imagery Marina has already displayed through her previous performance the other day.
Marina herself appeared in the same dress that was resting on top of the piano. Her hair was brown this time, no sign of her usual blonde wig. It was pulled back, straightened mostly but curled towards the ends. Her skin seemed paler than usual, a lack of colorful makeup also added to this; her darkened hair may have been the larger cause of her sudden paleness. Though not visible at first, once she looked towards the camera, it was apparent she wore bright, shocking purple eye contacts.
At the beginning of the song and throughout it until the chorus, Marina just sang over her playing the piano and a gentle strum of the guitar.
She smirked as she began to sing the chorus, still playing the piano gently, yet emotionally. Once the part of the chorus arrived where the complextro beat would come in, the acoustic drums, guitar and harp kicked in, along with the gentle, low rumble of an electric bass.
The song continued the same pattern until the middle 8, where Marina sang alone, not even a steady rhythm on the piano; every few seconds, she would play a plink or two, but no full out piano playing. Her voice was powerful, almost enough so to bring out tears in someone really getting into the song. When the part came up in the middle 8 where there would be a complextro break, the drums and bass kicked in once again, still mellow and non aggressive. Marina played out the complextro melody on the piano, letting her emotions drain into the instrument rather than out through her perfect vocals.
The final chorus was just her, the piano, harp and drums, without the bass or guitar, and it came to more of a fading end rather than a sharp cutoff.
At the end, Marina smiled to the crowd, still showing off her bright-purple eyes.

Be sure to view her various performances throughout this week. Purchase her debut single, "I Won't Miss You", tomorrow, July 29th on iTunes, Amazon and at a local retailer near you!

Demi Lovato performs at Cher Lloyd's birthday party
After performing yesterday at Selena Gomez's birthday party, the singer went to another party of her Really Don't Care collaborator: Cher Lloyd. She congratulated the singer telling her congratulations.
She later took the stage to perform Stress and You Don't Even Know My Name (the possible 2nd single of the album)

Xtina took the stage at Cher Lloyd's party to perform Talk To Me. She stayed with the singer a long time and told her different stuff about her album poll and everything.
The performance had as props fire behind the singer. She also performed some of her old hits.

Seems Def Jam won't be the only ones to be able to drop Queen Pop, Lady Gaga. In a shocking twist Namie Amuro revealed during a press conference today that she has decided to call a quits on her
highly anticipated collba with Gaga. The 2 were set to re-record one of Namies Smash hits "Make It Happen" but ironically it wont be happening. Namie explained her decision saying "During the process of this collab
I felt like i was the only one doing my part, Gaga agreed one day to collab with me happily which was a big compliment to me considering i admire her deeply but this isn't anything personally but more of just getting business done.
She just completely dropped off the face of the earth and with my Album slowly approaching i need to make sure everything's according to plan, so i decided to cancel out collab. However In the future i would love to try to attempt to collab with Gaga again, if she's willing not to go M.I.A afterwards."

This comes as soon news to us fans who were patiently awaiting the 2 queens to slay side by side but i guess i girl has to do what's best for her. However this leads us with some questions? What will happen to "Make It Happen" ? Will it's demo ever see the day of light if one exist and will any other Namie Collabs go cancel?

Marina Discusses Her Album

Shortly after her performance on Good Morning America earlier today, singer Marina and the Diamonds discussed her album with a magazine that has yet to be named. She posted a the entire conversation, word-for-word, on her website with it's own page. She revealed new information, including a brief list of producers (Not saying if there were more than she named), that a song features Katy Perry, a couple song titles, and a rough amount of tracks.

"The album... Is a bit weird. I originally wanted to do more of a soft-rock kind of thing, and I actually recorded enough tracks to make an album (and a half, ha ha) with Alex da Kid producing everything... But then I met up with Porter Robinson at some party, and I listened to his stuff, and I had to rethink my entire project. I really didn't know what to do, and I just started recording things with Porter... And it was amazing. I asked him for some recommendations of other people I could work with for stuff like that, then made my own connections... I started re-recording the entire album. I worked with Porter on a few tracks, then he introduced me to Madeon, and he and I worked on some other stuff... Putting them together, along with this new dubstep producer named Varien that I met through Skrillex... The three of them made my single, 'I Won't Miss You', which is just... Oh, my God. So, yeah, I just kept talking with other producers... They all include Porter Robinson, who's executively producing it as well, Madeon, deadmau5, Daft Punk, Krewella, Diplo, Zedd, The Knife, NERVO, Justice, Nero, Emika, Lazy Rich Wolfgang Gartner, DJ Frank E, Ryan Tedder, Dillon Francis, Skrillex, Cirkut... A couple others, but yeah. It's sort of one electro, complextro masterpiece... Also, thanks to Daft Punk, we recorded a couple of disco-esque songs, and some other ones with them.
Like... my favorite song that I've recorded is called 'Burn'... It also features Katy Perry, and it's really this vengeful track... It's my favorite, but I'm not sure if others will like it. I think the fan-favorites will probably be either this one song called "br K n" or this one called "Troubled"... They're both really good, but still different. "br K n" is... really low. Diplo produces it, along with Madeon, but it's... really laid back for both of them. It sort of reminds me of Usher's 'Climax', also produced by Diplo, but it's... Not that lush. It's really low, and held back... It's really sweet. "Troubled" is produced by Ryan Tedder and DJ Frank E, and it's just... Oh, my God. People will love it... There's a giant beat break in it that'll probably kill some speakers. It's a masterpiece.
I don't wanna reveal too much more of it, but it's just... So exciting. I'm done recording, we're just working out a final tracklisting and stuff... Finishing touches. I know you'll all love it.
I'm planning on releasing the album on August 13th, so... Be ready. Watch out.
Love you all. Can't wait for you to hear it! The lead single, 'I Won't Miss You', comes out tomorrow!"

So the tour is called, The Blastoff Tour. The song blastoff is about how my love is so strong, that the guy is able to take me to an alternate universe, so every time we're together.. we blastoff to another universe *britney giggles* it's actually a big dance song with a sick beat, but it has a nice message about love *blushes*

-commerical break, Britney's H&M ad played.

The stage was completely dark, smoke and fire started to rise from the stage..
Green laser beams started shooting everywhere. A huge golden ball started to rise from underground with water shooting around the sides of it.

A countdown appeared on the huge screen 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1..0

The golden ball started to open as Britney said Blastoff
fireworks shot from around the golden ball and we finally saw Britney when it opened up



Britney sang 30 seconds of Blastoff before she left the golden ball. When Outta Control played Britney left the golden ball and started doing heavy choreography center stage with her dancers surrounding her.
She continued the heavy choreo with water, fire, and smoke coming out from under the ground..
At the end of the performance, the 10 second countdown started again, Britney grabbed a hipline and left the stage
