Selena & Demi rocked The Today Show
The singers performed on the show their newest single, but also their older singles. The performance started with Selena performing Body Language in a Come and Get It outfit which was appreciated by everyone. Her performance featured an Indian dance which everyone loved. After this performance the singer sang Turn Me On with shirtless dancers which carried her in the air as she sand the song. After this, Selena invited Demi on stage to sing I Don't Forgive You. The performance was a very interesting one as the singers performed on a rotating platform which displayed different pictures of the girls. After this performance, Selena left the stage to let Demi perform You Don't Even Know My Name. Her performance followed the plot from the music video where she fights her boss and says in the end You Don't Even Know My Name. The singer finished her set performing Gold with money being in the air and her boyfriend trying to catch them. At the end Demi left the stage "crying" and came back with Selena to say goodbye to the fans.

The SHIPWRECKED Far Away From Home TOUR
featuring Tegan and Sara
and Special Guest Carly Rae Jepsen
Day 2 London, UK: The Koko
CARLY'S SET

While doing foreign promotion for her latest single 'Little Poems' Carly Rae Jepsen decided to help out Canadian pals Tegan & Sara by touring with them. As their special guest, Carly will be joining them for quite a few dates all over Europe as Carly will promote whilst on the short leg of the tour. Tonight was a sold out date at The Koko in London, England.
Setlist:
This Kiss
Carly started off her set differently in London than the show previous. She started off 'This Kiss', the second single off her last album. The crowd immediately realizing the song from its signature synths, Carly skipped out on stage already filled with energy. Pink lights filled the venue as Carly jammed out with the audience. Carly asked the crowd to sing with her and as asked they did.
Dare To Love Me
Second up was the Justin Bieber collab off her album Yours which will be released in the next few weeks. The singer embraced her inner diva as she delivered strong vocals on the sexual and sensual song. The bass strong on the track, she got the audience to jump with her on the song before a dance break sneaked up in the song and had The Koko in nothing but great ol' pop dance madness.
Just What I Need
A new song from her album was next, titled Just What I Need. Having performed this at an exclusive concert at the Staples Center Saturday, the singer wowed the audience this time with a stripped back version of the song. She played guitar on this song, something she's never did before. No one on stage but her, the singer gave an intimate performance of the song, her guitar playing this time much more clean and natural than during the first show. She thanked the audience with a shy smile before moving onto the next song.
Almost There
Carly kept her guitar to perform the Tegan and Sara penned track, Almost There. Immediately when she played the first chords, the audience knew exactly what song it was. She sang the beautiful song along with the crowd, a smile printed on her face. She skipped out on the bridge to play a different bit of the song, but just with guitar. She sang the final chorus acapella, which London audience seemed to love.
Part Of Your World
Carly covered 'Part Of Your World' from the Little Mermaid next, serenading the audience with the gorgeous classic. The audience seemed in awe as the singer got lost in the song. Though the song is a bit sad Carly smiled throughout the song, her emotion in the song evident. The London crowd gave Carly a warm response after the performance, Carly blushing in gratefulness.
Call Me Maybe
The smash hit Call Me Maybe (which sold over 18 million copies worldwide) was what the singer sped up her set with. Performing a intro version of the song that was originally on the demo the crowd roared when she began singing the final cut. Carly danced on stage, singing her hit with just as much as excitement as if she'd never even performed it before.
Little Poems
"You British are crazy." Carly gushed as the crowd stood on their feat and screamed in approval as her band began playing 'Little Poems'. With a smirk, Carly performed the song, the rhinestoned bow in her hair shining from the pink flashing lights that shined above. She finished the song and left the stage to go into the audience and take a few pics and touch their hands. "Thank you so much for a wonderful show, London. I love you." Carly then disappeared off the stage as the crowd waited for Tegan & Sara
TEGAN AND SARA'S SET
Tegan and Sara's second date on the Shipwrecked Tour lead them to London, England, where they played at The Koko in Camden. Despite it being sold out, they managed to create a rather intimate atmosphere with the crowd, the flair of the venue - which used to be a theatre - majorly contributing to that, with its beautiful balconies and vintage interior.

The band stuck to their set of 21 tracks - pleasing the London crowd with the variety of their thirteen year spanning discography.
Screw The Keys
Shipwrecked
Straight Backward
The Other Side Of Us
Showing what their new sound is all about, they blast into this quadrinity of songs from Shipwrecked, getting the fans fist-pumping and bopping along in no time. Everyone seemed already familiar with the new tracks so the crowd could be heard singing along right from the first words on, to the liking of the band, who praised the audience participation after the first couple of tracks already.
Back In Your Head
The Con
I'm Not Your Hero
Hell
I Was A Fool
Continuing with tracks from their last three albums, they took the crowd back to the 00s, when their music was still deeply rooted in the indie genre and more rock oriented. The two songs from Heartthrob provided a nice contrast to that and showed that despite some sonic changes, Tegan and Sara have not lost any of their ability to craft beautiful melodies and catchy riffs.
Walking With A Ghost
Where Does The Good Go
Alligator
Nineteen
Atlantic Running
The nostalgic journey reached its peak when they played Walking With A Ghost, the indie smash hit that was once covered by The White Stripes, and Where Does The Good Go, both to be found on their breakthrough album So Jealous. The crowd visibly enjoyed rocking out to those well-known tunes and so did Tegan and Sara, who interspersed some entertaining stage banter about their new tour bus and sight-seeing in London.
Feel It In My Bones (Tiesto ft Tegan and Sara cover)
Light Me Up (Carly Rae Jepsen ft Tegan and Sara)
Heart Waster (with Carly Rae Jepsen)
Like last night, this was the point where Tegan and Sara first covered themselves and then invited Carly Rae Jepsen to the stage, who was greeted with loud cheers and whistles and there was no doubt that some people in the audience had actually come here tonight because of her. Tegan and Sara handed over their instruments and focused on singing and performing, matching Carly's bubbly personality and stage presence as they rocked out and danced to their own songs.
Call It Off
You Never
Youth
Toning things down towards the end of the set, the last three songs were all a bit more melancholy and made the crowd get out their lighters, which resulted in the most beautiful moment during Call It Off, where they started singing the first lines even before Tegan. Ending it all with Youth, the sappiness was quickly forgotten and the audience danced one last time to one of the most popular songs Tegan and Sara have ever released.
Medley
They returned for the acoustic medley of their old songs, the smartest idea they could have to make sure that everyone in the crowd got to hear at least one of their favorite songs live. Not slowing down for a second, they performed those last few minutes with the same intensity of the rest of the set, still leaving people want more when they finally left the stage.
Since it was London, several celebrities and fellow musicians had come out to show their support for Tegan and Sara. Ariana Grande and Namie Amuro were spotted in the audience, watching the stand out show from the balconies and later joining the after party. Lily Allen was also there, posting a couple of pictures to her Twitter during the set and praising the girls' performing skills.

Ariana performs on X Factor UK.
Today, Ariana continued her week long UK promo by stopping at one of the most popular music contest in the world, X Factor. She performed her hit single "The Voice" Which is sitting for almost a week now on iTunes UK at #1 spot. She performed a great performance, in which she showed her great vocals, and funky dance moves.

The performance started with bunch of flat screens, they were showing Ariana's the voice video. Then all staged filled up with smoke, and bunch of trees were added to performance. Stage looked like a forest. Then Ariana came out of woods, wearing a glittery purple dress, she looked like a sweetheart. Her hair were curly, and she looked very happy. Bunch of dancers came out of woods, they not really came out, they literally jumped into the stage. Then one guy with a fire wand came onto stage, and ignited the trees. The stage got on fire, bunch of dancers dressed as a fireman came out on stage, and started extinguishing fire, Ariana, and all the dancers were dancing. They did a beautiful choreography, they really served. Then stage turned dark, everything disappeared, spotlight appeared, and Ariana was in it. She started singing high notes, she outshined every other x- factor contestant, she literally brought the roof down. The camera zoomed into judges, they were literally with their mouths open, and looked at Ariana's performance. They looked stoned. Then Ariana after singing high notes, took the hula hoop, and started using it. She did incredible tricks with it, the hoop was shining all sorts of colors, and looked pretty cool in the dark, it was glowing. Ariana really showed her gymnastic skills, and audience was impressed. Then the lights came out, and Ariana was standing on the dancers backs, and two girls were breathing fire. Performance ended. The venue was all quite, you could have heard a pin drop in it. Then suddenly everybody started screaming, Ariana's name, and throwing flowers into stage. Ariana said thank you, and left the stage.

iheartdropdead.com writes about Tegan and Sara
Following Tegan and Sara's visit to Drop Dead's flagship store in London's Carnaby Street yesterday, the clothing company posted an article about the event on their blog, praising Tegan and Sara and sharing the story of how the collaboration came to be.
Yesterday afternoon, Canadian pop duo Tegan and Sara stopped by our store for a little acoustic session and signing. They played four songs, including their latest singles Youth and Heart Waster, and enjoyed the personal setting so much that they decided to get even closer to their fans and do a very personal q&a without any formalities, just chatting with everyone over cake and tea. Photos were taken and autographs signed, and after almost four hours we shut down the store to allow the girls some time for a private shopping tour.

They ended up falling in love with our leggings, Tegan sporting the Floral leggings and Sara getting the Okami leggings that feature a cool wolf print. They also went for some t-shirts and tops, admitting that this came just at the right time as they can never have enough clothes while on tour.

I don't always wanna wear the same outfit in every picture! But we also can't pack our whole closet, so after a while it starts getting repetitive and it freaks me out.

At least they're sisters, though, so that means that have two wardrobes to chose from.

We do share clothes, and that definitely comes in handy. Sometimes, I don't feel inspired by any of my own things but then I see something in Tegan's suitcase that I really like and vice versa. We have similar styles but there are still differences, so it makes for great combinations. It's very convenient. It's like having twice the amount of clothes available than a normal person.

Do they also give style and fashion advice to each other?

Sometimes, like when doing shopping and we can't decide what to buy. But we rarely go shopping together because we both need to be in a certain mood to buy clothes and we haven't figured out how to synchronize that yet with our twin powers (laughs). When we're on tour, usually one of us will go out and then come back with some new stuff and then sometimes we go through it together and Sara's like, I think this would look good on you, too, or something. But most of the time we make our own decisions and just wear what seems comfortable.

So they do like to style each other, is that how they found out about Drop Dead as well?

Actually we found out about Drop Dead at a photo shoot, one of the set assistants was wearing a Drop Dead shirt and I thought it was really cool so I asked him about it and he told me about the website. We checked it out and thought it was different and fit our style, so we ordered a couple of things and wore it at concerts and even in our track by track videos for the new album. We love the designs, they're not like anything else you can find in stores and we like wearing unique things. Plus it's nice to support an independent clothing label.

Such sweet words from the girls, who we couldn't be happier to call a part of the Drop Dead family. Thanks for stopping by, and we hope to see you again soon! Everyone, make sure to check out their latest single Heart Waster and the album Shipwrecked, as well as catching them on the rest of their European tour.
Mere hours after the post was published on iheartdropdead.com, both the Floral and Okami leggings sold out.

CARLY RAE ON JAPAN'S COUNTDOWN SHOW
  
Carly Rae Jepsen filmed a performance for a Japan countdown show earlier this week that aired today. The singer gave an interview and performed her latest singe 'Little Poems' which has become a huge hit in Japan and pretty much in all of Asia. The singer talked touring plans, her album, and those pesky Rihanna/Carlos rumours.
Host: Welcome to Japan Carly! We heard you managed to sneak your way here without any commotion and you're going to play your new single for us in a few short moments but we have questions. Yes! Questions.
Carly: Ooh yay. Go ahead.
Host: So you're releasing your brand new album September 7th which is really soon. How did you decide when it was finally done? Like was there a time where you just wanted to keep writing for it?
Carly: My label gave me a deadline and you know everything I had written by them was pretty much available to be on the album. So all I wrote is on there.
Host: All your fans here want to know... are you touring Japan?
Carly: Yes what's even more exciting is I'm doing a full leg here and in South Korea. That's exciting.
Host: You've never been in the tabloids for scandals but recently you have. How do you feel about it?
Carly: It's very um uncomfortable but you know it's something that comes with fame and you have to deal with it. No matter how entirely untrue and pathetic these scandals may be.
Host: Is there anything you want to address about your self in the tabloids? Possibly that love triangle?
Carly: There's nothing to address. I'm single and I'm really not trying to focus on anything but my music. And whatever the person who wants to try to keep this 'scandal' alive is a fool. Because I want nothing to do with it.
Host: It's about that time for you to perform Carly. Go take the stage.
Performance:
Carly Rae took the stage, the speakers in the studio blaring the acoustic instrumental of her latest single 'Little Poems'. The singer serenading her Japanese audience both in the studio and those who were observing from outside the window on the street. She made sure to sign autographs and take pictures as she left the studio as well.

CARLY RAE JEPSEN ON EL HORMIGUERO
Carly Rae Jepsen was on El Hormiguero today where she gave a short performance of her single 'Little Poems' and talked about Justin Bieber and Carlos Pena. She expressed her feelings and opinions about what's been going on as of late and she had quite lot to say.
Performance:
Host: How's Justin?
Carly: Ask Ariana. (laughs)
Host: You sure because everyone's been saying you're uh jealous of him and the Grande girl...
Carly: (laughs) No I love them both. Justin's my friend and that's it. If there was anything there it was one sided. But I think he's more trying to get back at Selena if I'm being honest.
Host: What about Carlos Pena and Rihanna?
Carly: Mm, next question please.
Host: (looks bewildered)
Carly: Oops?
Carly performed Little Poems acoustic, wearing a red jacket and a black pair of shorts. She was as bubbly and polite as ever, serving amazing vocals on the song, doing her signature awkward dancing around the stage.
