Cher Lloyd interview on BBC radio 2



Today Cher ended her promotion week by stopping at bbc radio 2 to talk about her album, other music related things, also interviewer asked her a lot of questions about her life, upcoming musical journeys, and love life. Cher was kind, answered all questions nicely, and just had a great time on bbc radio 2, she also talked about her favorite songs at the moment, spilled why she likes them, and what is she thinking about other pop gurls, overall it was a great interview and atmosphere was great and Cher was nice as always, fun and relatable queen.

I: Hey Cher, I know you have heard that a lot, quite a lot but been a long time since we saw you, great seeing you here again sitting in this chair, and looking this happy. You look great by the way.
C: Thank you, it has indeed been a long time I know, I tried my hardest to come here for like forever, but was not able to, but now I’m here and you can ask me anything you want, I have a lot of time today, cause I am not so busy today, feels great to have some free-time finally.
I: Great let’s start the interview by asking, how has your life been, is it better than it used to be, have you had any interesting stories to tell to us?
C: Cher, oh yes, my life right now is amazing, it is all about work, music and just having fun. It is like a vacation to me because I love music, and being with it every day, every minute is just a bliss, I just sing, dance, talk with interviewers and I am loving this life, it is way more fun that sitting at home all day or in studio and thinking what is next for you, what can you still offer people? And do people still care about you, maybe they forgot. I lived like that when I was with epic records, cause all I was doing is writing song without a reason, cause most of them are now with them, because I was not able to release them, so they kept them for their selves, I feel so used and mistreated because of that, but what can I do, all those song are now gone. I have heard some artists singing them, and I am pissed of, but oh well, that is how awful they are.
I: Just terrible, sorry to hear that, also about your album, we love it, how you came up with it?
C: I have said in many interviews it’s just my life, that entire album involves my life experiences that I have gone through those years, and I just put them all in one album.
I: Great also any favorite song, at the time?
C: I really like Sia’s Elastic Heart, it’s so so fresh and that video, I just love everything about it. I also love Charli’s XCX and Rita’s duet for Doing It, sounds so dope, I love it.
I: Thanks for interview, great songs, and it was great having you here.
C: Thanks, goobye! xoxo

Yesterday evening, Christina Aguilera started the first leg of her The Naked Truth Tour which is currently promoting her 8th studio album - Truth Pill. The tour features almost all of the tracks from Truth Pill and also a few oldies from Aguilera's career in the past, like Beautiful and Fighter. She hasn't toured since the Back To Basics concert back in 2006 and is expected to gross well over that figure. In addition, a tour DVD is set to be filmed at one of the upcoming dates although it's not been settled on which one yet. Christina will be doing around 250 shows for The Naked Truth Tour. That number is susceptible to change, however. The concert has been in preparation for months on end now with all the stage props and venues being sorted out ahead of time.

For the first date, Christina Aguilera performed in a stadium that usually houses a lot of high-profile concerts in the motherland of San Francisco. The concert was held in a relatively new stadium built in the heart of the city as Aguilera was the first one to scope it out. Christina was entirely overlooking the setlist for The Naked Truth Tour which was divided up into 4 varying acts: The Awakening, Karmasutra, Bon Voyage and Encore. These 4 acts mostly featured tracks from the 2015 release Truth Pill. Nevertheless, a few old hits were thrown into the mix as well in order to please the fans. A grand and respectable total of 90,000 people attended the concert considering it was sold out in a matter of seconds.

The concert included 3 video introductions/conclusions where Christina filmed visually pleasing videos especially for The Naked Truth Tour. These tracks were (in chronological order): Truth Pill, Amethyst Bleach and Sour Grapes. This is in no way, shape, or form hinting at possible single choices but we must say that Amethyst Bleach has been rumoured to be the upcoming third single for quite some time now.

In addition, Björk was Christina's opening act who is expected to remain as Christina's opening act until further notice or at least until Björk starts off her own worldwide tour when she launches her upcoming era in a few weeks with the release of her lead single - Arête. On a sidenote, Christina won't only perform in stadiums although it's said that that will be where she'll mainly hold her concerts. Christina has been travelling with the rest of her crew on their own personalised bus like a roadtrip. it's been said that Christina will be filming some backstage footage of how everything was set up and fun little titbits that might be included on a documentary of some kind. The Naked Truth Tour is expected to do wonders for Christina Aguilera's brand as she travels all around the world and perform for her fans. There will also be a break of some kind between the second leg and the third leg. Having said that, the tour itself will span over for an estimated time of two years but this is subjected to change whenever.

502 Words



'Honey' might have been released last week as promotional single from the album, Cara Delevingne's label Variety records decided the song was single-worthy and after a good reception from both the fans, the critics and the general public, and send it to radios. The song is already getting some impressive airplays and getting good sales on ITunes, as it's been on constant rise ever the release.
The song was first performed on New Year's Eve, when Cara wanted to give her fans a small New Year's Eve gift, by premiering the song early with the live performance. She then performed it multiple times last week, especially during medleys. Cara is supposed to fully launch the promotion for the song this week. To promote and push the single, Cara released the video through the huge interactive billboards she launched last week, gathering millions to watch the music video before she added it to her Vevo account:
The video starts by showing a shot of Cara coming out of the sea on a paradise-like island setting the sand being impressively white, a jungle a bit far away, the blue sea... Cara is wearing a light pink strapless bikini. The music starts and Cara starts advancing on the beach without anyone all around her. She is shown in multiple positions, for example at one point you can see her laying down on a large golden deck chair sipping a pink colored drink, and another flirting with a hot barman. Cara ends up kissing him and the video shows us a scene of Cara and the barman on the deck chair together, Cara laying down on he's body while he kissed her. At this moment, various shots of honey slowly falling down on the beach is shown and Cara keeps on singing the song. Multiple shots of supermodels in bikinis are shown, models include Ariana Lima, Aya Jones and Kendal Jenner laying down on the beach doing flirty faces. During the breakdown, Cara is shown doing a choreography along with the three models and two other female dancers on the beach at night. the Choreography included multiple complicated moves before they continued doing it laying down. The video ends with a shot of Cara on the beach alone with some honey covering most of her body and she inserts her honey covered finger inside her mouth, while she looks at the camera and the video ends.
The video received multiple excited tweets concerning it on twitter and Cara also tweeted about it asking fans to tweet "#HoneyVideo" which made the hashtag trend #1 worldwide.

Ariana Grande appears on Ellen
535 words

LOS ANGELES: Ariana Grande stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show today to promote her latest single, “Heartbreak.” “Heartbreak” is the lead single from Ariana’s upcoming album, Keep Me Close. Ariana just launched a huge promotional campaign to promote the single “Heartbreak” as well as the album Keep Me Close as we get closer to its release. Ariana is attempting to sell more copies of “Heartbreak” this week than last week; she only got 188,000 sales during the first week of the CAL tracking season. That is why she’s going on this huge promotional tour: to drum up more sales. Let’s delve into Ariana Grande’s appearance on Ellen.

First, Ellen played a game with the audience called “Who’s In My Bushes?” Essentially, Ellen has some bushes on the stage that a celebrity hides behind. She gives clues, some more obvious than others, and then the audience has to guess who it is. Then, she reveals the celebrity. Today, it was who else but Ariana Grande! The crowd went wild when they saw her. They talked for a little bit about life and food and stuff, but then Ariana had to go backstage to get ready for the interview that was going to happen in a few minutes; she was wearing a nice lace outfit though.

Next, Ariana was interviewed by Ellen. They discussed things such as how “Heartbreak” was written, and also delved into the development of Keep Me Close. They also previewed some tracks from Keep Me Close, such as Wrong, Keep Me Close, and Target bonus track Superficial. They then discussed general life topics, such as relationships (Ari and Big Sean are doing fine, by the way!). They then discussed what activities Ariana likes to do in her free time; she’s actually kind of a Game of Thrones nerd. After the interview, Ellen announced that everyone is going home with a copy of Ariana’s single “Heartbreak”. Ariana then went backstage to get ready for the performance.

Ariana, of course, then performed “Heartbreak” on the show. She was wearing a white top with black pants. She also was wearing her hair in the usual ponytail and was also wearing a white headband. She was in the middle of the stage, with her dancers behind her. She started facing the back wall. The music started, and they all started the choreography and turned around. Ariana slayed the first verse and then proceeded to nail the pre-chorus. During the first chorus, Ariana interacted with her backing dancers, shoving and playfully pushing them. This continued during the second verse, and she resumed the normal choreography for the second pre-chorus.

For the second chorus, she went up the stairs in the audience section and high-fived a bunch of people’s hands. She stopped at the top of the audience section to sing the bridge; she did this extremely well, I have to add. For the beginning of the final chorus, Ariana walked back down the stairs, high-fiving people as she went down to the stage. She got back in time for the outro, during which she improvised a whole lot of whistle notes. Once the performance ended, Ellen encouraged the viewers to buy “Heartbreak” and to pre-order Keep Me Close.

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.
