Drake covers Billboard Magazine
So Drake, how does it feel being on the cover of Biillboard Magazine? It feels awesome, I dreamed of this type of stuff when I was a kid and to be on it myself is surprising.
That's great, so how do you feel being in the music business? I'm 26, I don't know what else I could be doing that's better than this. I feel incredible.
Most people don't get to live the life you live, would you say you're lucky? No, I'm lucky i'm blessed, yes 
Are you worried about the other competition out here? Honestly, yes. Your spot can be taken the minute you decide to stop being on your grind. Grind hard like it's your last day to do so!
So, your last single is with Nicki Minaj, how do you think it will do on the charts? I think it will do well on the charts! As long as I keep doing what I'm doing then I will be fine. We both have strong fanbases and labels that support us greatly, so we'll be fine.
Speaking of Nicki Minaj, are you guys dating? You shouldn't believe everything you hear on the news or TV
If you could collab with any other artist out right now, who would it be? I would be willing to work with any artist as long as they are hardworking, loyal, and willing to make our song chart as high as possible.
How many copies do you think OMDB and BAC will sell I don't really want to Jynx myself but I think it will chart higher than 10th place. I haven't given up on OMDB, so I hop it rises than last week.
Well, thanks for stopping by and chatting with us! Thanks for having me!

TAYLOR PERFORMS AND TALKS HER LATEST PROJECTS ON THE TALK
You're releasing your brand new music video for your second single later on today? Can you give us a little insider about it?
It's kind of like I Knew You Were Trouble meets Back To December. With a lot of heat, sort of. It's a very dark video but it has that enchanting storyline to it. I have zero idea what I'm saying so let me restart. It's a dark video but it's not just that. There's a plot to it I think will do complete justice to the song.
How long did it take you to film this video? Because the leaked clips are gorgeous and we've heard it was filmed in London, Toronto, LA.
Madrid, Paris, and London. We did the editing and stuff in Los Angeles. Not sure where people got Toronto from.
When you were recording your album, which is out now, where did you spend most of the time recording?
Nashville and London. I returned to that more country feel with this record so most of it was done there with Nathan. I did some of the more rock and pop stuff in London, which is a city I really love. I kind of want to buy a house there.
Do you think you'll ever stop making music?
If you mean like stop putting out albums, probably once I settle down and want to start a family. That's when everything will start to slow down. But I'll always write music. I think it's something that makes me me.
Justin Bieber issued an apology to you on SNL, what did you think of that?
It was a really sweet thing for him to do. He was sort of pressured into it but he gained a lot of my respect for doing it though I think he didn't really need to. I kind of accidentally sparked something that shouldn't have. But we're cool.
You're performing a song from the album, right?
The current single actually. It's titled She Loves You Better Than I Do.
The video is out for that tonight so you all look out for that.
It'll premiere tonight on ABC and MTV.
Taylor performed She Loves You Better Than I Do, giving a simply performance of the song. She stood in a polka dot dress, looking cute. With a dim light over head, she sang the song with amazing vocals, the lights and surroundings on the stage giving the performance that sad and sorrow kind of mood. She smiled and waved as the show went off air.

Drake performs on The X Factor UK
Performing his new singles OMDB and BAC, Drake gives you a reason to actually watch your TV. Drake makes eye contact into the camera and raps his heart out, OMDB is a personal song itself, Drake can't help but put emotion into it.
Standing in the middle of the stage the the hot spotlight, Drake is loud and clear in front of the crowd. The crowd can feel the emotion off OMDB as bad as Drake felt. After this, he slips the tempo up a notch and raps the collab released with him and Nicki, the famous, well known song, Bonnie and Clyde.
After performing, he thanks the crowd and leaves the stage.

Jamila performs at Walmart Sound check (w/ guest Nicki Minaj)/ Does signing of album.
Jamilla recently sat outside of Walmart and signed copies of her smash hit album, "FYI"
for thousands of devoted fans. She smiled and took pictures with fans after this and even gave away posters.
After this she went inside the venue to perform a short concert which features 4 songs of her album and two covers.
She began the show with a performance of Straight Up Beautiful, which features her singing in the middle of the stage. As she sang the chorus sparks flew and she sounded amazing. After that, she sang a cover of Rihanna's song "Let Me." as a medley with her new song "Have You Had Enough" off her brand new album. During the performance she performed choreography with backup dancers that was very Ciara-esque mixed with some Katy Perry-esque jumping around for no reason.
Jamila really got into the performance after that. She then sang a new song off her album "You Are The One". It's a Uptempo about a relationship that Jamila knows is just right and she seemed so happy singing it. Then the lights turned out as Jamila began to sing "Sweet Dreams" by Beyonce. She sang it all the way to the second chorus before ending it abruptly. Then she began to sing her song "FYI" off the album, and Nicki Minaj appeared as a surprise guest. After Nicki Did her verse both of the girls bowed and walked off stage holding hands.
The performances of "Straight Up Beautiful", "You are The One" and "FYI" were uploaded on JamilaVEVO and already are raking up the views #BUYFYI

Paige Elliot on Late Show with David Letterman
Paige performed on David Lettermen, continuing her performance style from earlier.
She performed "Ready for the Weekend", and rather than performing it on the normal stage, she comically forced David out of his seat and began to perform the song on his desk while David laughed.
However, despite wanting to stay, she revealed she couldn't remain in the studio for an interview.

Paige Elliot on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Paige appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight, where she performed two songs, one being "Ready for the Weekend", the other being "Somewhere Up Here" that she performed on Jimmy Kimmel last night.
The stage set up was simple, being just a backing band, including live drums, bass guitar, electric guitar and synthesizer.
She opened with "Somewhere Up Here", which she revealed was produced by deadmau5, performing it slowly yet again, keeping her eyes closed for most of the performance until the end, where she seemed almost near tears.
After the song had finished, an evil smirk came onto Paige's face as the synthesizer took over, creating the high-pitched voice in "Ready for the Weekend" as the song began. The audience began to sing along with Paige, getting excited and fist-pumping and jumping up and down with her as Paige moved along the small stage to the party-ready, complextro jam until it crashed into an end.

The song is a huge jam, and it's so hot, that you are ain't just ready. I originally planned to do this song alone, but then I thought of Miley, and I had to do this song with her. So she came, and we just had a blast, we worked really hard, and after we were done, we were proud of it. So get ready for next week, it's gonna be exciting! |
Using Miley without me knowing, I see you sis Dom But so happy to see you're back!

"Ready for the Weekend" Video Premieres on E!, MTV, and at Times Square!
The music video for Paige Elliot's debut single, "Ready for the Weekend", directed by Jonas Åkerlund, has official premiered on television on E! News, MTV, and finally and most importantly, on the megatrons at New York City's Times Square, which has been a popular hot spot for her latest promo.
As expected for the video from such a star, ratings on both television stations went through the roof, reaching an extremely large spike in ratings that neither show has seen in years. Giant crowds of an estimate 50,000+ people crowded in Times Squares to watch the awaited video on the megatrons...
The video opened to a subway train with Paige on it, wearing torn tights, shorts and a black tube top along with heavy black boots. The song hasn't begun playing yet. She looks around the empty car, and sighs a bit.
A shot from next to her shows an advertisement running along the subway wall, showing through the window, saying "GET READY FOR THE WEEKEND", and Paige seems to lighten up. She glances around the subway for a moment, realizing yet again that it's empty, and she reaches down to a stereo on the ground, and presses play.
Immediately, the complextro breakdown in "Ready for the Weekend" blasts, replacing the rest of the audio in the song, and Paige begins to dance in the subway car, spinning around, jumping, flipping, hopping from seat to seat, and generally having fun and goofing off in the car. The entire complextro breakdown is looped for the duration of this scene, and the song doesn't really begin yet.
Suddenly, the audio fades back, and it's apparent the subway's actual audio is playing. The train stops, and four people get onto the train as Paige stands on one of the seats, frozen in place in shock that more people came on. She quickly runs over to the stereo and switches it off.
The song actually begins, with the choir, acapella vocals and it cuts to a quick montage of a few clips, including Paige and a few others dancing on or by a parked white van shown in many of Paige's performances with "READY FOR THE WEEKEND" painted on the side and Paige leaning against the van's hood; Paige in a room with mirrored walls and blacklights on the floor, illuminating everything as she dances in the room a la Madonna's "Hung Up"; Paige at a house party with glow-in-the-dark accents as people get drunk and dance and grind and make out with Paige in the foreground smirking; and finally, Paige in what appears to be a bathroom partying alone to the song.
The montage lasts through the choir vocals and the high-pitched voice, and when the complextro beat hits again, it cuts back to the subway, where Paige grabs her boom box and runs out of the train as the four other passengers look on. She runs out into the subway station, running extremely fast yet still holding onto the boombox as other people in the station stare at her. The complextro beat ends just as she makes it to the surface.
During the first verse, Paige is shown in a van with friends, the same white van with "READY FOR THE WEEKEND" written on it. She's in the back of the van, driving along a fast, busy city street, and the back doors of the van are open, dangerously, as the song blasts out through speakers. Paige and her friends in the back of the van dance along to it despite the danger of having the van doors open. The group makes obscene faces at the cars behind them, and one shot shows the driver of the van (Played by Thomas Dekker) flip off another driver that seems upset by the disruptive van.
As the chorus begins, the first third shows Paige in the black-lit room, wearing a purple tube top, white leggings and the same black boots from earlier. She spins around in the room and continues her flawless choreography she's displayed in her live performances, spinning, moving, twisting, contorting and moving both energetically and flawlessly. Her hair flies around, and it's all reflected by the mirrors on all four walls.
For the middle third of the chorus, where Paige sings along with the high-pitched voice, it cuts back to her walking out of the subway. She carries the boombox on her shoulder, the song still playing from it, and she sings it to random people on the street.
Just as the breakdown occurs, it cuts to Paige at a house party, everyone dancing and drinking. The room is generally dark, but it's lit by the glow of countless red, green, blue and pink glow-in-the-dark streamers, paint and glowsticks. Everyone dances, and it seems reminiscent of the wildest frat parties seen in movies. Paige is at first seen laughing in the foreground, but she is also seen dancing and grinding with other guys in several different shots of the video.
For the final third part of the chorus, it cuts rapidly between Paige dancing in the streets, Paige at the frat party, Paige in the white room, and a new scene with Paige and her friends from the van dancing around and on the van, which now sports several dents, toilet paper rolls, paint splatters, broken beer bottles and a large crack in the windshield, with Paige dancing on top of the hood of the car and everyone else dancing either on top of it or near it. Speakers are seen yet again, with them being on the ground.
For the second verse, Paige is seen in a bathroom, doing her makeup and dancing to the song before she smashes the mirror with the speakers and continues to dance. She then jumps up and runs out of the bathroom where she runs back to the frat party. The video cuts to her and her friends in the van again, with the van looking rather clean, before it pulls up in front of the frat party.
The chorus begins, and for the first half of it, it cuts between Paige and her friends in the van running out to join the frat party and Paige in the white room, still dancing perfectly. At the party, they get rowdy, showing scenes similar to the ones from earlier as they get crazy. However, many party goers are seen running up to the van and jumping on it, throwing drinks at it, TPing it and generally trashing it, with one person smashing the windshield with a lamp. Upstairs in the house, Paige runs into the bathroom to do her makeup, replaying the scene just played for the second verse. When she runs out, she grabs her friends and runs out to the van. Just before the breakdown, the song pauses, and Paige and her friends stop and gasp at the trashed van.
"Holy crap!" Paige cries out. She raises her hand to her mouth, and her nails are painted black. "The van!"
Thomas Dekker runs up to the van with a smirk and gets in, starting it up.
"It still works," he says, still smirking evilly.
Paige drops her shock, and she and her friends jump back into the van, with two or three more party goers joining them, and they drive off as the complextro beat begins.
For the last half of the chorus, it cuts in between Paige spinning around in the streets with her boombox on her shoulder, Paige and friends dancing around the trashed van on a hill top, and Paige still dancing in the white room.
For the third verse, Paige is seen in the city streets, spotting a van that says "READY FOR THE WEEKEND" on it. She flags it down, and Thomas Dekker is seen in the driver's seat. Over the song, he says "GET IN!", and Paige hops in back, opening the back doors and blasting her music out of it.
For the middle 8, Paige and her friends run away from the trashed van over to the highway, where they flag down another van. They then proceed to kick the driver out, and they take the van, driving off to an unknown destination.
The chorus begins one more time, and Paige is seen adjusting her outfit (Still black tube top, ripped leggings and black boots). She looks around nervously, and then she kicks the van doors open, and it's revealed they are at a rave. Everyone jumps out of the van, excited, and joins the fun at the rave. However, once Paige steps out of the van, her outfit is transformed into the outfit she wears in the white room, being a sequined purple top, unripped white leggings, and her still heavy boots. Her hair suddenly gains pink tips, and she shoves her way ahead of the crowd.
For the final moments of the chorus, she jumps on top of the stage, taking over the microphone and singing along to the song as the crowd goes insane.
As the song dwindles down, it ends on Paige in the white room, spinning around until she suddenly falls down in slow motion and it fades to black.
After its premiere, the video was uploaded on iTunes for digital download, along with being put on YouTube for streaming.
Be sure to buy the song "Ready for the Weekend" on iTunes and Amazon or at a local retailer near you! Digital buyers, along with physical buyers using credit or debit cards, will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win tickets to Fast Times at University, in theaters late October, along with other goods!
