Q&A With Wendy Williams + Performance
Jordin Sparks did a nice Q&A with Wendy then took the stage to perform Double Tap as soon as she got back to the US. Jordin vocals did not show that she just dominated a show in China but it showed like she can dominate a couple more. 2 Chainz made it too but he decided not to interfere with the interview.
Wendy: Hey everyone!? How you doing? Guess who we have with us today for some exclusive music information.Thats right Single and ready to Mingle, Jordin Sparks.
Wendy: Jordin how are you?
Jordin: I'm good, hanging in there!
Wendy: You seemed tired! I heard you went to China... any boyfriend material down there?
Jordin: YES! Wendy they had more than one that caught the eye but I knew I couldn't stay for the time given. I'm good for now. How are you?
Wendy: Oh I'm good thanks. Now lets get into it. First I want to confront this Life Alert commercial. See I saw it last night while I was in bed and I heard your song "Double Tap" in the background and I grooving. Now I have a mom and she clumbsy and I'm buying her one. How did you come across this chance.
Jordin: My Label actually set that up for me (Laughs). Yeah, I'm with a new label, Genesis Entertainment along with Kelly and they are actually listening to us unlike RCA....aye?
Wendy: Now Tell us about Double Tap and who's been doing the Double tapping, if you know what I mean
Jordin: OH Gosh (giggles) Um Double Tap was recorded by 2 Chainz and I. We had two versions of the song and one is making the album. The song itself is catchy and fun and I say Hoe...
Wendy: The one Jason was with?
Jordin: Wont speak on that but I say somethings that you wouldn't hear on Battlefield. I have a more grown up sound well because I grew up.
Wendy Couple more questions then you can take the stage. What are some stand outs tracks that youve recorded
Jordin: Well I WONT mention the BEST but here are a couple that are in the process. Tyga,Chris and I are working on a track called "Lunar Nights". I have a song recorded and written by myself titled "More Than Happy" and "Work From Home". They are all amazing but the ones I just mentioned may be coming out soon.
Wendy:Whats the long awaited album called and release date?
Jordin: Right Here,Right Now is the title. Cant give a set date but somewhere around spring 2015 hopefully
Wendy: Final question. Who you been double tapping on your insta.
Jordin: Cant say! But if you were following me you would know (laughs)
Wendy:Girl I follow you, I just dont stalk you. HA...By the way I am running to Best Buy when your album drops.... The Mic and the stage is now yours Jordin. Work it girl!

Why are people even booking anything aside from SNL? I thought Egle laid it out that it would be like last season -- first to write the article, gets the spot.
Egle can you confirm some type of rule on whether booking aside from SNL is allowed when you come online. I'm going to sleep, thanks. & you should probs put limitations on performing on SNL too many times in a season if people are booking it multiple times already.

Jimmy and Jordin Double Tap parody
 Thats right ! Jordin Sparks and Jimmy gets down and dirty with Jordin's new single. On the female anthem “Double Tap,” featuring 2 Chainz, Sparks tells her admire to step his game up, insisting, “bet you won’t double tap that ho.”2 Chainz adds the needed edge, making this song club surviving
This is her last stop of the night before calling it quits and catching up with her sheeps.
Jimmy says" I want a double sloppy joe" While Jordin repeats "A double sloppy joe?"
The parody is quite silly but reached half a million views in less than 10 hours.The view count is increasing and the likes are around 400k. J&J pulled it off correctly with this one.
Jimmy later takes Jordin to sit down and have a nice talk after the little skit
Jimmy asked"On a serious note, This song is catchy and when is the video releasing"
Jordin responds with" Its releasing this month! Maybe you could cameo in it"
Jordin Sparks is set to release the lyric video Monday along with a fan tweetspree. Jordin recently turned 25 so the things she tweet may not be for a 8 year old so be careful.

Cara Delevingne Releases 'Honey' & 'Kiss To My Heart' as a Promotional Singles, gets radio deal and releases lyric videos
815 Words
Promoting her brand new album 'Distant Horizon' out this week, Cara Delevingne just released a brand new promotional single from her brand new album 'Distant Horizon', the promotional single released is 'Honey', which Cara performed for the very first time a few days ago on New Year's Eve during the Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve concert, which led fans to speculate that it would in fact be the second single. Cara then revealed that she wanted it to become the next single, but she wasn't sure about it being released this week yet. Turns out the fans were half correct, the single having impacted the radio today and released on ITunes prior to the release of the album as a promotional single.
"It's official! The first promotional single is 'Honey' and you can now buy it on ITunes!" Cara tweeted after the release of the song on itunes, which automatically downloaded to the thousands of people who had pre-ordered the album. Cara's label Variety Records decided to do a radio deal in addition to the song's impact on the radio, to push the promotional single as much as possible on the charts. The deal was done with most of the biggest stations across the world, including in the US, UK, France, Japan, Australia, Germany, Italy and Brazil. The top 3 biggest radio stations in those countries will be spinning the song at least once every where bringing in an impressive amount of listeners to listen the song. The deal starts today and will go on up to the end of the week.
The song will receive multiple performance throughout the week during performances for it's own or during medleys, promoting the brand new album 'Distant Horizon'. The promotion for the single has already started. Cara's label Variety Records already posted a lyric video for the single which is on Cara Delevingne's VEVO on youtube. Check out the lyrics below:
Verse 1
Push me up against the wall
(Bite into my skin)
Baby's at my beck and call
(Juiced all under my chin)
Prechorus
I love the way you move
I love your bedroom groove
Lick it good, baby I approve
Chorus
I like the taste of your honey
Kiss me hard, let's get all cuddly
Can't get enough of the way you touch me
'Cos all I need this morning is your
Honey-y-y-y
Get it all over my body
Honey-y-y-y
Get it all over my...
*moans*
Verse 2 (Rap-ish verse, since you mentioned she's doing urban)
Turn around, go on, 69 me
Me and my girls here and we wine and dinin'
Close the blinds, we need privacy
Lick it up, eh, imma lick up that honey
Baby you're the best and I'm the baddest
Lick you up good, baby I'm the hottest
These boys look up my skirt like my name's Monroe
Sit back and watch, for you I'll put on a show
(Slither on in, tonight I'm Monroe)
Prechorus
I love the way you move
I love your bedroom groove
Lick it good, baby I approve
Chorus
I like the taste of your honey
Kiss me hard, let's get all cuddly
Can't get enough of the way you touch me
'Cos all I need this morning is your
Honey-y-y-y
Get it all over my body
Honey-y-y-y
Get it all over my...
*moans*
Bridge
L-l-l-like the way you move
Like your bedroom groove
Baby I like it, like it
(like it, baby, eh)
I love the way you move
I love your bedroom groove
Lick it good, baby I approve
I approve, baby
*moans*
Chorus
I like the taste of your honey
Kiss me hard, let's get all cuddly
Can't get enough of the way you touch me
'Cos all I need this morning is your
Honey-y-y-y
Get it all over my body
Honey-y-y-y
Get it all over my...
*moans*
The lyric video shows vintage clips (or modern filmed clips of Cara on a beach with vintage effects added) of people swimming on a tropical beach during which the RNB song's lyrics appear on the screen in a soft brush life font. The song has already received praise from various music publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard and Pitchfork, who also are predicting that Cara's sophomore album will be a critically acclaimed album. 'Honey' was produced by Giorgio Tuinfort and was written by Cara Delevingne & a friend of hers called Alex Breaux.
In addition to 'Honey' being released as promotional single, Cara also released another promotional single called 'Kiss To My Heart' which is the opening track on the album and was written by Cara Delevingne and Charli XCX with additional notes by Stargate, while the song was produced by Stargate. Cara describes the song being Pop with a urban vibe to it. This song also received a lyric video, but a more simpler one, which only shows lyrics appearing on the screen in various fonts in front of the 'Distant Horizon' album cover.

Ariana Grande performs on the new CBS4 Indianapolis
531 words
INDIANAPOLIS: Pop singer Ariana Grande, who will be hosting the first episode of the new version of TRL that will be shown on CBS, visited the new CBS4 Indianapolis news studios on Thursday night and Friday morning to be interviewed about TRL’s impending return to television on CBS and to perform her newest single “Heartbreak” live during the newscast. CBS4 made its debut on New Year’s Day on local Indianapolis station WTTV-4/WTTK-29 with veteran local talent in the evenings and personalities new to the area in the mornings and on weekends. Both performances were the same; the evening interview was given in a transcript in our last article.
Anchor Debby Knox introduces Ariana to the viewers: “And now, we would like to present the very first musical performance on CBS4. Here’s Ariana Grande with her latest single, Heartbreak!”
Ariana is standing in the studio wearing a pink, frilly skirt with a sparkly top, like the one below. She is only with two of her backing dancers due to space constraints. The lights fade up to full blast, and the song begins. The monitors around her are showing the lyric video for the song.
Ariana starts off with improvising some notes in the beginning, even hitting her whistle register. She then quickly transitions to the first verse. She shows noticably improved dancing from her last era, which already had much better dancing than her first era. She interacts with her two backup dancers (one of the twins and one of the female backups), pushing the twin and dancing a little with the female. She keeps this up through the first chorus: “Hope you enjoyed my love…”
Ariana then walked over to the anchor desk during the second verse (which no one was sitting at at that time) and sat on it. The monitors around here are showing Her backing dancers also sat on it. They do some cool choreography while sitting on it, and then for the second half of the verse her dancers get up and Ariana lies down and rolls around a bit on it. She then sings the pre-chorus while on her stomach. “It’s about to go down!”
For the second chorus, she runs over to the monitor wall of the studio, which is also showing the lyric video for the song. She continues to do the choreography for the chorus. “We were flying up above…”
For the bridge, the lights dim down. Ariana is alone, and the only light sources shine on her. She perfectly belts out the bridge, hitting an impressive whistle note at the end of the bridge. She then ends the bridge with the speaking part: “Yeah, I never told her about us. Oops, too late now! Good luck!”
Ariana then wraps up the song with the final chorus, singing every note perfectly, and even throwing in some adlibs. The song then proceeds to fade out as Ariana finishes singing. Anchor Bob Donaldson states, “Make sure to buy Ariana Grande’s new single “Heartbreak” on iTunes now, and pre-order her album Keep Me Close, coming soon to stores everywhere! Remember to watch TRL starting on Monday with Ariana as the guest host! We’ll be right back.”
Buy Ariana Grande's new single "Heartbreak" on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play TODAY!
Ariana's new album Keep Me Close is now up for pre-order at most digital and physical retailers. A press release is coming soon.

Can we have a more formal booking process for SNL? Like a Google spreadsheet or something so we know who's doing it when.
Also, are multiple hostings of SNL allowed? Azealia claimed it for next week but I'm hearing she already had last week and I don't remember if she did or not.
