Kesha performs at New York Gay Pride In Concert
Kesha Rose Sebert made a surprise appearance at the Boston Gay Pride, but she couldn't get enough of the gays as she travelled south to perform at the New York Gay Pride too.
 
Kesha performed her string of hits at the New York Pride
The singer headlined the Pride Concert, where she performed nearly the same set she performed in Boston. Kesha wore a purple diamond bodysuit, along with black knee-high boots and a floral crown as she strutted around the stage. The 'Beautiful Mess' singer started of with her gay anthem 'Animal', which she performed flawlessly. She then moved on to her biggest hit to date, 'Tik Tok' as she hyped up the audience, who loved every bit of it.
Kesha then moved on to perform her latest smash 'Beautiful Mess', which is arguably one of her best, followed by the hit single of her 2nd album Warrrior, 'Crazy Kids'. Kesha went out on a high as she performed a mash-up of 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes' and 'Take It Off'.
Kesha's new single, 'Beautiful Mess', is out now on Itunes, Amazon and physical copies are available at your local supermarket.

REBA MCENTIRE APPEARS ON WTHI 99 FM
Reba McEntire continued her recent radio promotion blitz by dropping by WTHI 99 today. She appeared on Tim Davis’s hit show. The legend has always been fond of the country DJ she was working with and their warm chemistry helped to make the interview a successful one.
TD: Reba, always a pleasure.
RM: Thank you, Tim. It is always a joy to spend time with you.
TD: So, you have a hot new single, “Tears of Yesterday” can I play that for listeners?
RM: By all means my friend.
[Tears of Yesterday plays]
TD: I love that song. Really, a fun summer song. You and Ryan Tedder created a true gem.
RM: Why thank you very much.
TD: Can we talk about Dolly Parton? Is she using drugs? She’s not the woman she used to be.
RM: I’m ashamed of her right now.
TD: You’ve also had some harsh words for her.
RM: It hurts. [starts crying] I looked up to her for years and she has just became someone I don’t know. I want the legend back. It really hurts to know that she is going through this.
TD: I agree. Will you be collaborating with her on your new album?
RM: No. I don’t want that negativity on my album. I’ll focus on classic Dolly and not the mess she’s become.
TD: So, “Tears of Yesterday” is that the theme for the new album?
RM: The album is about a whole lot of emotions. That’s why it’s called Suffocating Memories. It is about all those emotions and memories becoming overwhelming.
TD: I can’t wait to hear the new album when it comes out. I wish you the very best, Reba.
RM: Thank you, Tim. I wish you the best also.
TD: Please make sure you download the new single, “Tears of Yesterday” by Reba listeners. Then stay tuned next week for her new album, “Suffocating Memories”!

Mariah Carey premiers music video for "Libidinous Dream"
Hours ago, Mariah Carey tweeted that she'll be debuting the music video for "Libidinous Dream" on Vevo in a short while. The music video for "Libidinous Dream" is set iin prism inspired colors. All costumes are designed by Donnatella. Make-up and hair is done by Mariah Carey(since she has done 500 hours of beauty school) and the video is co-directed by both Mariah Carey and Benny Medina and is produced by Benny Medina.
Each side of the cube features a different scene, a beach scene, an erotic scene, a dancing scene, a crying scene, a storyline scene and a mountain scene. The erotic scene between Mariah and an unknown guy got huge positive attention from the public and media for being sexy but at the same time, it is not as revealing to show any private parts of their bodies. Mariah haters flocked in and commented that Mariah is trying hard to be sexy and relevant. The video has since gotten international attention due to its innovative music video.

REBA MCENTIRE VISITS WOVK 98.7
Reba McEntire makes another stop on her recent radio promotional blitz to talk with Destiny Brown on WOVK 98.7 one of the top country radio stations in the United States. The singer was very relaxed and appeared to be open during the interview.
Listeners were introduced to the interview after the singer’s current single, “Tears of Yesterday” played on the radio.
DB: Such a great song, Reba.
RM: Thanks, Destiny. I had a lot of fun recording it.
DB: Tell me, was there a particular line you loved most in the song?
RM: Probably, “You’re going to pay, for my tears of yesterday” It sounds so ominous. I just love it.
DB: The song is an infectious upbeat summer hit. I really think you could be looking at a top 10 debut on the charts this week.
RM: Let’s not curse things just yet. I just hope the promotional efforts of my management are paying off.

DB: She is a very sweet girl too.
RM: One of the sweetest.

Azealia Harassed on Leno
Azealia Banks appeared on Jay Leno's late night show last night to promote her single Vibes as well as her upcoming album. With a strange performance and a cold interview, the average viewer knew something was up and Azealia spilled all on what was happening live on tv. With the world shocked and appalled, Azealia told the world about how Jay Leno treated the young hip hop performer backstage. Due to the controversy, the Tonight Show was cut off air within 30 minutes of the show being on air.
All seemed like a normal Jay Leno's Tonight Show when he was doing his monologue on tonight's episode which included a few crude jokes and mentions of Azealia and her new single, Vibes. After an interview with Drew Barrymore, it was time for Azealia's performance of her song Vibes. Unlike other performances of the song, Azealia seemed to lack energy throughout this performance and seemingly acted as if she did not want to be there. Wearing a Valentino beige pantsuit with a matching hat, Azealia clung to the mic as she closed her eyes and sang the words to Vibes. With the crowd seemingly confused as to what was wrong with Azealia, all was revealed after a commercial break when it came time for Azealia's interview with Leno. When Azealia was asked to come out for the interview, she walked straight to her chair and sat down without cracking a smile. Read below for excerpts of the interview:
Q: Welcome everyone, the rapper that's just recently scored a number one hit around the world, Azealia Banks!
*Azealia sits and doesn't say anything in response*
Q: So Azealia, your new single Vibes has been taking over the world, did you expect this?
A: Yeah I guess so.
Q: So you have a new album coming out right? What's the title?
A: Reborn.
Q: What inspired you to.. write this album?
A: My surroundings.
Q: When does it come out?
A: It comes out on Sunday. Let me say something though, I have done a lot of interviews in my time. I have gone on a lot of promotional spots to show my art and the work I put in. And at each and every place I've been to, I've been treated with respect, except for here. Not only did you attempt to grope me backstage, you set up cameras inside my dressing room just so you could hope to catch a glimpse. Get a life fatass. You're trash and you'll never be more than that. You're lucky I even brought my ass out here to do this ****** interview for this ****** talk show. I don't give a **** if this is live. I am tired of the disrespect going on here. I'm out.
And on that, Azealia left the interview and was out of the building in less than a minute with paparazzi obviously waiting outside to take pictures. Cameras showed Azealia's entire meltdown live on Leno and cut off immediately after Azealia exited. TMZ leaked a video of Azealia leaving in which she says "Any woman with respect for herself will never do an interview with Leno again." Shock on his face, Leno didn't say a word and the show was cut off air and reports of his future programming with NBC has yet to be revealed. More to come on Azealia's meltdown on Jay Leno.

Thursday, July 3rd Promotion
DANITY KANE DEBUT "RAGE" ON X FACTOR
Danity Kane appeared on The X Factor Thursday night to promote their brand-new single "Lemonade", as well as debut a new song from their EP (set to be released Sunday), "Rage". After promoting a little bit more in the US, Danity Kane were steady at #5 and still increasing thanks to the radio deal they signed earlier this week now blowing up a little more. The crowd were pumped to see them perform at a reality competition, since they originated from one. Backstage before the show, the trio met each of the contestants and gave them all advice and lots of love. The production staff enjoyed the girls' company as well, with the trio taking many pictures backstage and getting exposure from the contestants' fans too. A reel of credentials played really quickly, letting the general public be reminded that Danity Kane holds a notorious girl group record. After the video played, the smoke cleared and the music kicked in; many were surprised at the sight.
There were three huge pillars as the smoke cleared, and Danity Kane stood nice and high, looking into the crowd from each pillar. A set of strings played with some piano, as the studio blacked-out and a spotlight cast upon Dawn. ("I'm heading, downtown / Where the lights, sparkle bright / And the music, is loud") It was clear that this song was "Rage" - the new song that Danity Kane were set to debut during the show. It had an uplifting, ballad-esque tone to it - like a breath of fresh air, or the light at the end of the tunnel. Dawn finished her short verse, then Shannon hit the pre-chorus. ("Follow the sound, of the rowdy crowd / We gonna play hard, until the sun comes out") She sang with fire, emotion, and a thick tone - something that surprised the viewers since Shannon's voice is normally soft and contemporary.
The chorus raged in with live guitars and live drums bursting out, with the girls swaying their hands and the crowd following. Their vocals were sharp and on-point completely. More smoke and spotlights hit Aubrey, who sang the second verse as the pillars began to lower. She motioned her body to some minor solo choreography as Dawn and Shannon jammed out to the song. Dawn then sang the pre-chorus, putting her hand on her forehead like a visor to scan the crowd, nodding in approval and then hitting the air with her arm to cue the chorus. The pillars were down and Danity Kane stepped off, going towards the edge of the stage and lighting up The X Factor studio, bringing lots of energy to the table.
The bridge came in, where all the girls headed for the judges table. Dawn stepped on the judges table, and stood over it, accidentally knocking Simon's cup of Coke on him, but Simon and Dawn just laughed a bit. Aubrey and Shannon harmonized in "oh"s at the sides of the judges table where Dawn did ad-libs and shouts. They marched back holding hands to the stage floor again, and raised them up in the air shouting the final lyric: "We, rage / At the party, like maniacs" and raised their hands up in the air. They took a bow, and stayed in a position looking downwards.
The studio then had a yellow aura, as glass boxes and back-up dancers arrived to the scene. Everyone got into the bow pose, looking down, and "Lemonade" was cued. Instead of doing Dawn's introduction, everyone hit a dance break while Dawn stepped out up front and did some talking: "You see everybody. One day, me Shannon and Aubrey was at the club. We were taking some shots, you know just having a good time. And we see these baes come up to us and we were like - "Oh! Hello there!". I mean he was damn fine. But then, Aubrey pointed out something to me, Aubs come up and show them."
Aubrey stepped up front to the plate as all the music and dancing just froze. "So I see this girl, right over there in the corner. She looks mad, I mean, real damn mad. So I went and I said - "Why you gotta look so sour? Like... like you just took a dip in some lemonade girl." The music cued back on and Aubrey started with her verse, while Shannon and Dawn faded into the background dancing a new routine with about seven back-up dancers. ("I feel your eyes, on me / I like, how it feel / I hope, that you enjoyed your five / But I'll take it, from here") Aubrey headed up to Simon Cowell and held up five fingers, spinning and walking away. She popped her arm out and hit the floor. Doing some contemporary breakdancing as Shannon climbed up some glass boxes, with some back-up dancers crawling right beneath her. Her voice was very sweet as usual, as some dancers went towards Aubrey and contorted their bodies in miraculous forms with Dawn just hanging around with some of the guys.
The chorus kicked in, all of the girls doing different choreography with the dancers in groups. Dawn did some classic Urban moves, like the moonwalk and just swaying and popping with the best dancers of the bunch. Aubrey did more laid back poses and gymnastics with break dancers and Shannon was against the glass staircase just twisting around with men under the steps. Then all came down back to the center of the stage. Then Shannon was like: "X Factor are you ready!" Smoke shot up as the lighting intensified and Danity Kane went into a dance breakdown with the dancers as the instrumental to Tyga's verse played in the background - without his voice. The members each marched out once at a time, striking a pose and walking back as if this was a fashion show. They vanished from the stage in the smoke, as Danity Kane lined up horizontally: to the right, Dawn - to the left, Shannon - and in the Center, Aubrey. "Lemonade!" they shouted and struck their hands in the air finishing the song.
The judges and studio gave the ladies a huge round of applause. The girls took a bow, and the host came out to chat for a moment about how the EP is coming on Sunday and their MTV takeover next week. Dawn also apologized to Simon for spilling his drink, but they all laughed it off and it was cool. After the performance, the media spazzed as we now have three Danity Kane songs (at least in live performances) - and that their "Lemonade" performance was different, but great. "Lemonade" had a huge climb into the Top Three of US iTunes - you can purchase the track now and purchase the EP this Sunday!

Taylor Swift has had much impact on the American music market in her short and young career. Only eight years into her career the country-pop superstar has broken many records and has even gone as far as starting careers for artists like Ed Sheeran and more. The now global pop superstar has been promoting her single with Zendaya 'Gunshots' all over the world, visiting Europe, Australia, and the Untied States all this week. The song has become a major radio hit taking off on over three radio formats (Urban, Pop, Rhythmic, HAC, AC, and we are told even the Tropical format is playing the song). The song is currently the number one song Worldwide on iTunes dethroning a few songs that are serving as competition for the two young stars. More promotion was booked today as instead of a performance or interview, Taylor Swift hosted a huge deal she scored with Vh1. In honor of it being the fourth of July and Swift holding the title as "America's Sweetheart", Vh1 announced the "Fourth of July: Taylor Swift Takeover". The Fourth Of July: Taylor Swift Takeover would basically be what it sounds like, a Taylor Swift Takeover. The takeover would consist of Taylor Swift's music videos, interviews, performances and more. Airings of Swift's tours, 'Speak Now World Tour', 'Fearless Tour', 'Red Tour','Witching Hour Tour', and even Swift's latest tour 'The Electric Princess Tour' were all shown today. During the commercial breaks there were videos by Swift played, most of them from her latest albums. The takeover was one of the biggest in history for a music channel, becoming one of the most watched takeovers. Swift spoke of the takeover in a special video message that aired on VH1 every hour during commercial breaks. "Hey you guys you are watching the fourth of july Taylor Swift takeover. I hope you guys are enjoy the overdose of yours truly. This is pretty much heaven for your Swifties. Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying the tour airings, the music videos, and the interviews. I love you all and have a happy fourth of july. Love you!" Swift then blew a kiss. Taylor's latest single 'Gunshots' was played every hour as well.

Zendaya announces her new album "Antidote"
"Antidote" - released on July 12th via Republic Records
Moments ago, Zendaya released a new press statement on her website and Republic Records websit as well, and this way, the "Gunshots" singer confirmed her upcoming sophomore album's release date, revealed cover and its title, which is... "Antidote". This press release instantly caused some major buzz on the internet, and it also trended worldwidely on Twitter. Although she didn't release album's tracklist just yet, but she promised that the album will be available to pre-order on iTunes and Amazon in couple of hours. A lot of music websites and blogs talked about this upcoming new album and also discussed its cover, in which Zendaya is showed with fake flower tattoos with roses bush right behind her. The album is now available to pre-order on iTunes and Amazon! Tracklist will be available soon as well.
"Hello my fans. It's a bright day for me because I really wanted to fully surprise you - not only "Gunshots" music video is coming shortly after, but I'm also announcing my upcoming sophomore album as well, which is set to be released on July 12th! I'm not announcing the tracklist just yet because I'm still not sure about this one song, but anyways, you will still be able to pre-order this album in just few hours on iTunes and Amazon! This album is called "Antidote" and it's a really personal album because every song on this album is somehow related to this past year. On this album, I'm talking about my issues and problems, I'm talking about love, happiness, sadness - I'm talking just about life in general. Although most of the songs are about my life, but you can really relate to them as well, since I'm only seventeen at the moment and I know that most of the young people right now experience love, they experience adventures, they are taking risks, and I'm doing all of that as well - but I just get to speak about it on my album. I hope I'll be able to inspire a lot of people with this one, because I certainly worked hard on those lyrics with my fellow writers who helped me to write this one. And on this album I focus on another side of me - a more urban rhythmic side, which I've only done for one time, so I'm nervous, I don't know how you guys wil lreact to this whole new sound and image, but, I'm taking a risk, I'm evolving as an artist, I'm constantly changing, and this whole evolving proccess just basically represents who I am as a person as well. For this album, I've worked a lot of great and exciting artists, and some of these songs are going to be big, trust me. I've put a lot of work, a lot of passion and time in it, I tried to make it as perfect as possible for about a whole year now, and I think I kind of succeded, since honestly, I can admit that sometimes I jam to my own songs, and I'm happy to admit that I'm listening to my songs - how can I expect someone else to listen to my album if I don't listen to it myself? I chose to call this album "Antidote" because during this last year I had so many situations when I tried to figure out a way how to fix something that I messed up, and I just decided to call it "Antidote" because there is a song called like that on this one, and also, there is one song that I've co-written as well and during that one I'm literally saying sorry to one person who means a lot to me, and it also talks about one of those "trying to fix something I've messed up" moments. So yeah... the album's coming out on July 12th, it's called "Antidote", and it's amazing, hands down.

Azealia vs. Leno Continues
After the dramatic events that took place last night on Jay Leno's talk show, the media has gone wild. E! News, TMZ, and even news sources like CNN and FOX have made Azealia vs. Leno their top story for the day. Feminist groups and social networking activists have joined forces in the attempt to bring down Jay Leno. With Twitter insults ranging from "big chin" to "asshole", the world seems to be taking the side of Azealia Banks in this battle of the sexes, literally.
Jay Leno has remained quiet since last night but NBC has not. Since last night, NBC has been doing serious damage control and has suspended Leno from NBC studios for approximately 3 months. However, this was not enough for some people. NBC announced Leno's suspension just this morning at 8 AM but since then, NBC has gone an extra mile due to negative reaction to the suspension being all Leno has received. At eleven AM, eastern time, Jay Leno was announced to have been fired from the Tonight Show and banned from entering NBC Studios for life. NBC did a press release this morning in which they said:
"Mr.Leno has been with us for many years, he's provided us great ratings and a great staple in the NBC legacy. However, due to his behavior last night with rapper Azealia Banks, we have to announce his leave as a talk show host on NBC. With this, Jay Leno will not be allowed to enter NBC studios, Leno will not be able to produce a show for NBC Studios, nor will he be able to have any future work of his syndicated on NBC. Along with this, we send our greatest apologies to Azealia Banks, as she should not have had to deal with what Mr.Leno put her through in the dressing room. We invite Azealia to come back to NBC to promote her future work. Thank you for listening."
Feminist groups around the world have been cheering and in excitement at the news of Leno losing his job and Azealia has been getting praise from liberal groups around the world. Along with this, Azealia's single Vibes has increased greatly in sales since the drama on Leno. With women around the world using the song as an anthem for freedom of rights as a female, Vibes has received a new meaning that's only helped the sales and placement of the song on iTunes. Azealia has said she's very thankful for the way Leno has been handled by NBC, claiming "I'm glad we are living in the 21st century, NBC." via her Twitter. News has also been coming in that Azealia bought the entire studio audience a copy of her single Vibes, for supporting her on the Leno show.
