Azealia Performs on AMAs
Promoting and performing her new song Paradiso, Azealia Banks appeared at the American Music Awards to give a performance with Trina, Remy Ma, Missy Elliott, and Shawnna. The performance has been hyped up all week by ABC as the first time Remy Ma has been on TV since her time in prison. Due to this, 15 million people watched Azealia Banks' performance of Paradiso causing a huge influx in sales on iTunes. The performance of the Paradiso remix was immediately uploaded onto YouTube where it has since gained great attention from hip hop lovers and pop lovers alike.
On stage, Azealia Banks and 4 other girls stood on rotating platforms as they opened the night for the award show. Each of the girls wore a beanie in a different color displaying their name on the front. Along with this, each girl wore custom made Valentino outfits. Azealia wore a Valentino leather jacket with a hood edged with white fur and a white beanie. The jacket went to Azealia's belly button and it was large and thick as a winter coat would be. For pants, Azealia wore black leather booty shorts that went to the very top of her thigh, leaving not a lot to the imagination. On top of this fur and leather outfit, Azealia had on custom made black leather heels. With a light brown curly fro weave, Azealia looked like a goddess from Harlem with her large white gold hoop earrings peaking out of her hair. The four other girls had on matching outfits in different colors and different hats and hair.
At the start of the performance, all that could be heard is the bass and the white lights flashed on stage as the crowd screamed. As the girls stood in various poses on their rotating platforms, they all stopped and remained in their pose in the darkness with the lights flashing like lightning. After 5 seconds of darkness and the only sound being the screams from the audience, the beat kicked in and Trina emerged from the darkness and began to rap her verse to the audience who were as hype as ever. With Trina rapping the verse, the girls remained rotating and switching up their poses in the background as Trina connected with the audience. As Trina's verse ended, Azealia stepped off her platform and removed her hood as her and Trina roamed the stage and did choreographed leans and sways to the song. After Missy's verse, Remy came in to do her verse in which she came out with handcuffs that she ripped off and began rapping "Lean back to the beat of Rem-y" With Shawnna taking the stage next and finally, the girls then all threw their arms over each other's shoulders and began singing the chorus to Paradiso in sync as the crowd went wild.
iTunes went crazy after this performance of all the girls raising Paradiso 4 spots on the chart. Azealia uploaded the video on her VEVO where it has since gained 3 million views in the matter of hours it has been uploaded. Also in that night, Azealia won the award for best Rap album for Domination and for song of the year for Vibes. Azealia trended on Twitter all during the award show's airing.

ABDC: DANITY KANE WEEK
This week on the hit MTV series, 'America's Best Dance Crew', the dance crews were given a challenge that would definitely spice up the game a bit. Continuing to stan for the group that they made famous, MTV threw a curveball at the contestants by making this week Danity Kane week. This means that each crew must do their routine to a Danity Kane song this week. Of course, as always, the routines will be performed on live television for the American public to vote, giving Danity Kane lots of exposure in general this week. Whether it’s a 2006 track, or one of their upcoming singles yet to be released, the contestants have made sure to cover a wide range of Danity Kane songs this week. On the performance night, six songs were danced to. The first was their debut single, “Show Stopper”, which included a feature from Young Joc. The second track, was “Strip Tease” which raised just a few eyebrows from the viewers/audience/judges as the members of the crew that danced to it did some extra-scandolous moves, but all in a professional manner of course. The third track danced to was “Damaged”, which was a highlight of the night as everybody in the crowd sang along at the top of their lungs and the dance was on-point. The fourth song choreographed was “Rhythm of Love”, a new Danity Kane track set to be released on their EP this upcoming Sunday. It was the first time ever anyone from the public has heard the high-quality, studio version of the song, which got the viewers at home roaring on Twitter with excitement and acclaim. The fifth track of the night went back to their first album, as old fan-favorite “One Shot” had a very cool routine, although it was claimed by the judges to be the weakest performance of the night. And finally, closing the show, was “Lemonade”. The dance crew invented a new routine which was much more collaborative with each member and involved much gymnastic-esque moves as well. With flips, ***** popping and lots of perfectly-executed tricks, it was hands-down the best performance of the night. Thanks to the wonderful episode, “Lemonade” boosted up to #2 on the US iTunes singles chart. And with some other creative promotion this week, “Lemonade” is set to hit a new peak.

Charli XCX Performs on The X Factor UK
After being in Japan for a few days because of the launch of her Tokyo Lights World Tour, Charli went back to her homecountry, the United Kingdom to perform on the countries' biggest singing competition during the Final episode of the season. This isn't Charli's only X Factor performance this week. While in Japan during her promotional appearances, she performed on Japan's version of The X Factor, named The X Factor Japan.
For this performance, Charli wore a neon blue plastic see through jacket with a black leotard undder it. She also had big black ankle boots. After the regular X Factor introduction video, Charli could be seen on stage siting down on a neon throne. There was no lights. 'SuperLove' suddenly started playing and the white tank with led lights from the SuperLove music video lighted up, along with different other items that were seen in the music video. Several dancers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they were hidden in the dark and when the music started their jackets which were covered in led lights, started lighting up.
Charli XCX got up of her throne and started doing circles and playfully dancing around while dancers made the choreography to the song. The performance was really nice and the crowd could be seen enjoying itself. Right in the middle of the song, Charli and the dancers paused in their position and the instrumental suddenly changed to the instrumental of 'Tokyo Lights'. Suddenly Charli went up to a microphone stand which appeared suddenly and she started singing into it while it was shooting impressive lights.
Another pause during the show occurred and the instrumental changed to the 'Alone in the Dark' instrumental this time. Charli started walking mysteriously and walking slowly around the stage and got close to the crowd who was cheering and screaming. While singing the lyrics, she went back to the main stage and got up on the tank where she started to dance on. During the final seconds of the performnce, The tank started moving. It went from being on the left of the stage to the middle and the dancers brought the neon throne up on it and Charli sat down on the throne placed on the tank, which shot confettis to end the performance.

Touchin’ Me: The Music Video
Britney Spears & Rihanna
The video starts out in a mansion, Britney has a 60s hairstyle going on with a pink headband and is preparing a cake. She takes pink icing and writes “Happy Birthday Rihanna” on the beautiful white cake. The video then flashes to Rihanna in a big pink bedroom. Rihanna is laying in a queen sized bed and turns on her HDTV. Rihanna looks very young with natural makeup and pig tails + glasses, she is watching “The Notebook”, the scene where Allie and Noah are about to kiss in the rain. Rihanna takes a huge 11 inch blue ***** from under her bed and turns it on, the ***** vibrates and flops around from side to side. She pulls the blanket off and reveals she is wearing a white t-shirt with no underwear. She puts the ***** in her vagina, puts the blankets back on, and starts shaking and grabbing the bed while moaning. The video then takes the POV of Britney walking up the stairs and down the hallway. Britney walks into Rihanna’s room and holds the cake and says “Happy Birthday sweetie!”, Rihanna nervously replies “uh.. thanks mom”. Britney says “Ok time to get up, I have a surprise for you downstairs”, Brit then pulls Rihanna’s blanket off as the blue ***** flies out of Rihanna and into the cake, icing splatters on Britney’s face as the ***** vibrates on top of the cake. The scene is an obvious play on the popular intro to “Not Another Teen Movie”.
The video then fades to a graphic with “Touchin’ Me” text.
Next, the video moves to a large beautiful church from an outside view as Touchin’ Me starts playing
The camera went inside the church and revealed that Britney and Rihanna are both nuns. Sunday Mass is being held as Britney and Rihanna are in the background. Brit and Rih take out their iPhones and begin texting each other with winky faces and heart emotes “how can we end this?  ”- Brit “don’t worry gurl i got a plan  ”-Rih. The phones are covered by their outfits so no one notices. Rihanna then goes up to the podium in the church and says “I’m sorry guys there’s been an emergency and we’re going to have to end mass for today, please come back next week everybody thank you”. Everybody leaves the church expect for Rih and Brit who look at each other and smile. Rih walks into a private room in the church and Britney follows. There are many statues of jesus in this room and 10 copies of the bible lying around, there’s also a lot of wood furniture. Rih begins taking off Britney’s clothing and the nuns start making out, Brit pushes Rih against a poster on the wall as she throws her cross necklace onto a cabinet. The nuns are now wearing nothing but lingerie as Rihanna begins going down on Britney, Brit moans and grabs the statue of Jesus to stop her body from shaking. A loud knocking is then heard at the church doors, Brit and Rih immediately put their clothes back on and go open the doors, letting the priest inside. The girls tell the priest that they will be taking the day off and walk outside of the church together.
Touchin’ Me continues playing as Brit and Rih run towards a school bus outside the church. They go inside the empty school bus as Rih says “do you got the stuff?”, Britney says “yea I have em” and pulls out two guns and throws one to Rih. Rihanna starts driving the school bus and waving at kids on the street while driving. She stops after driving a few blocks and Brit and Rih get out of the school bus. They walk down a few blocks and go inside a big bank. They walk through the front doors as Britney says “Hi uhm excuse me we need some money for the church yes” while holding out a big black bag. The workers say “we don’t know what you’re talking about”, Britney says “do you want to do this the hard way?”. Everyone looks confused for a few seconds until Rihanna pulls out a gun and shoots the employee dead “that’s the hard way bitches”. Brit and Rih both take out their guns and begin shooting the innocent civilians..
Britney and Rihanna then threaten the manager and say “you better take me to the money, now!”. A group of “nuns” come inside the bank holding machine guns as security for Brit & Rih. Britney and Rihanna get into the big room where the money is held and start taking it all and throwing it in a bag, the employee says “ok i think that’s enough for the church” and Rihanna shoots him after saying “this aint for the church bitch”. Rihanna and Britney then take all the money and start running out the bank with all the other nuns in a circle around them, protecting Brit & Rih from the police waiting outside. The group of nuns run down the street as a pink helicopter with black text that reads “Bad Bitch Enterprise” drops down a ladder made out of rope for Brit & Rih. Britney and Rihanna start climbing up the wide ladder as the other nuns shoot the police with their machine guns. Brit & Rih get inside the helicopter and tell the pilot to “Fly bitch, fly!”.
The helicopter flies off above a school as the camera pans down and inside the school. As the camera pans down the light gets a little darker, suggesting an hour or so has passed. The camera goes inside a classroom and Britney is the teacher. She looks very sexy for a normal teacher as her cleavage is showing and her skirt is very short.
The camera then shows Rihanna as a student wearing a very "revealing" outfit (short white crop top and very mini skirt) and blowing bubbles with her pink gum while Britney is teaching. The bell rings and Britney says “Rihanna, you have to stay after class.. everyone else, you can all go”. Britney then says “what were you thinking wearing this outfit to school and being disrespectful in class, get up!”. Rihanna got up and got on top of Britney’s desk in a doggy style position and said “touch me”. Britney grabbed a meter-stick and smacked Rihanna’s ass really hard, Rih then moaned and said “ooh I love it rough”, Britney and Rih then started making out as they threw off all the stuff on Britney’s desk as they ripped each others clothes off. The camera then moved to Britney and Rihanna’s clothes on the ground and zoomed out to a POV behind the desk looking at a naked Brit/Rih on top of each other, their private areas were blocked because of the camera angle.
Rih and Brit then put their clothes back on and started a fire alarm which caused all the kids in the school to go to the field outside. Britney and Rihanna exited the school from the back doors and got inside a pink jeep truck were loads of money were stored in the back (the money nun Brit & Rih stole from the bank) Brit drove off into the summer sun while Rih kicked her feet up and the video faded to a graphic which says “… To be continued” “Rihanna & Britney: The Adventures”
The video was premiered in a partnership with MTV
MTV cut all of their broadcasts worldwide for 5 minutes to premiere the shocking "Touchin' Me" video. Britney & Rihanna have also bought a deal with YouTube in which YouTube will keep the "Touchin' Me" video on the mainpage for the rest of the week

The song, Azealia said, is meant to be a song that unites female rappers together to create a great collaboration. With great success on iTunes, the world has been waiting for Azealia's music video for the remix which was released just today after being revealed at the American Music Awards' red carpet. So far, the video has gotten great reception from critics and fans alike with 98% likes on VEVO. With an expected 11 million views in 24 hours, this video is expected to be a huge success for Azealia with its unite of all hip hop fans.
At the start of the video, the camera is zoomed out on New York City and all is in black in white until the camera zooms into the room of a studio in which we find Trina doing her hair in a mirror and fixing her makeup in the mirror as she's wearing a pink chiffon robe with a black corset with matching push up bra and thong. For her hair, Trina has blond-brown wave middle parted weave in. The camera is facing Trina's back as we see her fixing her makeup in the mirror as she raps her verse to the Paradiso remix. Throughout the video, only the girl that is currently speaking is in full color, everyone else and everything else remains in black in white.
After Trina raps her verse, the camera moves down the hallway of the studio and we find Azealia posing for a camera with the color moving throughout the room and into Azealia as she begins rapping her verse wearing a blue Chanel jersey gown with white matte heels with elaborate straps and a matching white braided headband. Along with this, Azealia has in black straight weave that flows down to the middle of her back. After rapping her verse, Azealia is then seen walking down the hallway with the camera following her as Azealia turns around while walking backwards as she sings the chorus.
When the chorus ends, Azealia then blows a kiss towards Missy Elliott who is seen outside on the patio. With the blow of the kiss, the color in Azealia flows out and goes into Missy. Wearing a custom made red and green caftan designed by Dolce & Gabbana, Missy then begins to rap her verse with her black and brown pixie cut as she files her nails while laying on the patio with her matching Dolce sunglasses. Missy then begins walking off the patio back into the studio and she goes downstairs into the basement to see Remy Ma playing pool and with a pat on the back, Missy transfers all the color to Remy as Remy begins to rap her verse for the Paradiso remix wearing a diamond encrusted bikini with black and blond weave and matching diamond heels. using her pool stick as a pointer, Remy performs the verse straight towards the camera.
Walking back up the stairs, Remy bumps into Azealia transferring all the color to her as Azealia then begins to talk on the phone in the same outfit as earlier while singing the chorus to Paradiso's remix. After hanging up the phone while walking around the studio, Azealia sits down at a bar and orders a drink as she begins to rap her second verse. After drinking from the glass, the color flows into the glass and the bartender is then revealed to be Shawnna who is seen wiping the glass with the color then flowing into her as she puts it down and begins to rap her verse while wearing a red and black bob with a matching red and black vertically striped skin tight dress that went down to her knee. With matching heels designed by Prada, Shawnna steps out from behind the bar as she ended her verse.
Shawnna then puts her arm around Azealia and then Azealia gets Missy and puts her arm around her. With Remy and Trina then joining in, the girls are then seen leaving the studio with the color flowing through all of them as they walk in a line down the street singing the chorus to Paradiso together and in sync. After they're done, the beat continues for another 5 seconds and the camera zooms out and back into the aerial view of New York city. Color is then seen flowing through the city, bringing the once black and white to full color. With this, the video for Paradiso's remix is over.

Charli XCX on Th Graham Norton Show
Charli XCX is currently in the UK on board of her worldwide stadium tour 'The Tokyo Lights World Tour' and she did take some time from her busy schedule to stop by The Graham Norton Show to discuss different things during the interview. Wearing a white dress with chiffon detail and white glovs along with white heels, Charli XCX was welcomed by screams by the crowd.
This is the first time you've been on the Graham Norton Show! Welcome!
Thank you, I can't believe I'm finally here!
Your album 'Devour My Heart' was recently released and is already topping charts all around the world! How dies Major success feel like?
Well really exciting since it's the first time so many people are talking about me all at the same time! I'd also like thank my angels especially the ones who have been supporting since my early days.
Lets talk about those early days: You used to perform at some small venues and in the underground club scene since you were about 14 right?
Yeah it's true and my shows were absolutely INSANE. I used to wear huge princess dresses and blue wigs and have disastrous make-up and sing as loud as I could to try to impress the audience. I feel like i was simply crazy looking back from now.
Did you meet interesting people in the underground club scene?
Well I met Ariel Rechtshaid during one of performances, he said he was kind of interested in my sound. We perfected it and from there we started doing some great tracks. And a few other writers and producers also met up with me after meeting me there.
Do you still listen to those songs? the old ones?
Well i go back from time to time to try to see how it realy was but I'm really embarassed about it to ever listen to it or watch myself do those crazy performances with anyone else *laughs*
You have this track with Marina and the Diamonds which is featured on her new album, it's called 'Damn You' can you tell us about it?
Well it's a break up song where me and Marina sing about wanting to kill the ex-boyfriend. A little bit like I did in my music video for the Remix of Alone in the Dark.
How was working with Marina?
Well she's a great singer and I like her songwriting. She's a big friend of mine and we worked together previously on this track called 'Just Desserts' which was available for free. But this track really is something. I like it's vibe.
Is there anyone else in the industry you really like those days?
Well I Love Rita Ora and what she's doing for #FREETHENIPPLE is great, I totally support your cause. I'm performing at her convention in London tomorrow along with Marina. Also Zendaya who's Gunshots is an addictive song. The list goes on really... Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Azealia Banks... I like loads of people in the industry Right now.
After the brief interview, Charli got up wearing long black dress with Golden accessorized to perform 'Alone in the Dark' in front of her led microphone stand. She didn't dance a lot she remained where she was , the performance being more about her vocals than the visuals. She still Impressed the audience and the performance was raved by the critics who enjoyed the amazing vocals and the simplicity. 'Alone in the Dark' can now be purchased Digitally and physically. It's the lead single from her new album 'Devour My Heart'. You can also purchase the promo singles 'SuperLove' and 'Tokyo Lights' both digitally and 'SuperLove' is also available physically.
