Justin Bieber was live on Ryan Seacrest's radio this afternoon where he spent time talking to the Hollywood star following his new single 'Too Good to Lose' with Taylor Swift, being Top 5 on his Countdown this week. The song has been one of the quickest growing songs at radio this year, hitting the top spot on some stations just days after premiering on radio and being sent to radio stations. The song has also lifted off at radio worldwide, reaching the top spot in Australia & New Zealand already, and UK announcing the single as it's biggest debut over at radio this year. Justin's previous single, 'Memphis' featuring Big Sean and Taylor's previous single 'Style' had also reached #1 on the charts and radio weeks prior. With major promotion, an entire promotional campaign behind the song, it doesn’t look like the song will be anything but a massive success for the most successful female and male in pop music and music overall right now.

The interview on Ryan Seacrest radio would start off by Justin talking about his recent collaborations with artists and producers, plus writers on the new compilation 'The Collection & More'. "The writers I did over this album were basically just a taste of my previous writers. This wasn't a long-term project as we know, so I didn't seek out to work with a whole new team on really anything period. For the writers, they're 100% people I worked with -- but on the future album, that'll change ofcourse. I was looking at stuff this week, and I started thinking about my next future studio album, I'm so excited for it now. The producers on this album were relatively the same, except I did 1 or 2 new ones -- I wanna surprise people with producers next album, too. On top of that, the only other artist I collaborated with was Taylor, and we've worked together multiple times now. I wanted to keep everything simple, and revisit old times and establish me as an artist. I'm really proud of this compilation -- it's 3 discs, showing my evolution. Think of the 1st as my past ofcourse, the 2nd as my present work, and the 3rd with the new tracks and such as mostly a look into the future. That's how I'd look into it', he told Ryan Seacrest.

Justin would then be live in the studio to perform a special and exclusive performance of their song ‘Too Good To Lose’. Instead of the full production, he sung in his seat with his guitars, playing a special acoustic version of the song. Following the before and after of the interview, Ryan stocked up the playlist that day with Justin singles and told them multiple times to check out the new album 'The Collection & More'. Ryan's interview + performance with him lasted 30 minutes, and Ryan took to Facebook after to upload a behind the scenes photo and talk about how fun it was to catch up with him, yet again.



Superstar duo Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift continued making headlines with the new song, 'Too Good to Lose' (on both of their new compilations, 'The Collection & More' plus 'Yours: The Greatest Hits'). After performing in numerous countries, along with special interviews online, televised, and on radio they continued in America going to the big one -- America's Got Talent. Promotional posters in New York were put up this week announcing 'Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift performing -- this week's episode of America's Got Talent, only on NBC!'. It was also announced and talked about all over Twitter, along with given commercials on the network and a few other networks. Justin talked about the upcoming performance on Ryan Seacrest saying, 'Yeah, I want my fans to tune in tonight. It's gonna be really fun and crazy! I'm looking forward to having a good time. Finally time to get back in America and perform this new single'.

Before going on stage, the two would be seen giving advice to the contestants on the show about how they could go on to win the show if they wanted. They also gave the contestants great advice about how to win the competition or at least do their best. “Don’t think about every little thing that can go wrong up there. Lose yourself in the moment, let your heart do what your mind does. Don’t think at all. Just feel what the music is telling you to do. If you’re as passionate about this as I think you are, each and every one of you can win this. It’s going to be a tough competition so just go out there and give it your all. Don’t worry about losing or whether i was good enough. You-you just need to go out there and prove to them that you belong up on that stage. Sing for your life. Sing like it’s the last time you’ll ever perform on stage. Embrace the inner diva in you and just go out there and kill it alright? I believe in you all.” The contestants would all hug Taylor before she’d leave the hallway where they were all gathered to go get ready for her performance. The results would then air as following a commercial break Taylor and Justin would be announced out to stage.

The performance would start off with the two singing on two platforms on the opposite side of the stage. Slowly but surely they’d move toward each other, stretching out like a bridge almost as the two would then sing in front of a huge monitor that would consist of strobe light flashes as the two would sing to each other. When the platforms finally collected, the two would sing to each other with passion, getting a little up close and intimate before ending the performance with a belt that they executed well. They’d then talk about their single with the host before leaving the stage and studio, finishing their promotion for the day.

Justin Bieber’s been all over the world promoting his brand new single ‘Too Good To Lose’, which teams up with Taylor Swift. The Dev Hynes produced track is taken off his first ever greatest hits album titled ‘The Collection & More’. The album has fared amazingly well, despite the fact that greatest hits have lost touch with the public over the past decade. The album was Gold by first week, sales in excess over 500,000. The success didn't stop there, with the album touching Platinum by second week, sales now in excess of over 1,000,000. With 'Memphis' the current #1 single on the chart, and 'Too Good to Lose' possibly posed to take down it's crown Justin's been hitting hard. Industry guys predict the album could possibly pass 1.4 million this week, as sales continue to storm even with promotion slowing down and a new single pushing 'Memphis' into decline. However, after this week the schedule doesn't stop -- the superstar is set to reveal touring information, and continuing to do global promotion for single 'Too Good to Lose' with Taylor Swift.

Justin would arrive in New York last to do some promotion this morning on the American music competition show called ‘America's Got Talent’. Next up after the successful and acclaimed performance with co-singer Taylor Swift, he was in New York to do a taping and performance on VH1's Top 20. The show is VH1's countdown, done weekly and shown daily -- of there top music videos, voted by the VH1 viewers. Similar format to MTV's TRL, and BET's 106 & Park, it's the longest lasting music countdown on air in United States. Justin has attained success and multiple number one slots on the show the past years, and has made multiple appearances in the past. Nothing would be changing this time, either.

"I just have to say thanks to all the faithful VH1 viewers who've kept my videos a trending thing on this countdown the past decade, it's amazing to me. I also find it amazing the support in general has kept this show floating on TV for so long, which is why I'm delighted to be here and get some fans tuning in" he told the VH1 audience. His music video for 'Memphis' was #1 on this week's countdown -- they announce that he'd broken the record for most #1 videos on VH1's Top 20. He was given a special Award for the moment, and on top of that he'd do his first performance on the show -- a medley between Memphis / Too Good to Lose.

The singer songwriter would then appear at the end of the show dressed in black, and starting the performance with #1 hit 'Memphis'. The choreography was on point according to the host and viewers, for the 2nd performance of 'Too Good to Lose' he sat on a stool and kept it low with the guitar and calm. The performance was raved and enjoyed by fans.

Lena on X Factor

WORD COUNT: 705



German singer and songwriter Lena Meyer-Landrut - who just released her brand new Max Martin and Eg White produced single called Trouble, which serves as Lena's official debut single in US and UK - is continuing her long promotional tour all around the world in support of Trouble's promotion. Lena is confirmed to appear on my TV talk shows and competitions, as well as festivals, events and other things. And so Lena appeared on the British version of X Factor today, where she performed her brand new single for the first time ever on British television. It wasn't the first time Lena was performing on British television, but it certainly was the first time that she performed on such a huge show, because basically the only time Lena had performed on British TV shows was five or so years ago with Satellite on some weird local show that was only watched by couple thousand people. But this time - it's completely different, since Lena is trying to achieve as many as possible fans by promoting herself and her brand new single everywhere she basically can. It was probably a really stressful and nervewrecking day for Lena, because it was the first time in a long long time she performed for such a huge audience and for some many TV viewers, and the last time she performed for so many people was back in 2010 when she participated in Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. Of course she was really nervous for the obvious reasons, and that's why she sounded just a little bit nervous with her voice shaking here and there when she had to hold the note for longer than five seconds, but somehow, Lena managed to stay mostly calm throughout the whole performance, and although her voice was shaking from time to time, she still sounded really good and looked confident on the stage, and that is what made this whole performance better by miles. Lena was definitely serving some goddess realness up on that stage, flipping her hair and walking around the stage with her high heels, striking poses here and there and just looking confident, good and beautiful at the same time. Just as it was expected, Trouble instantly jumped about a hundred places on British Charts and entered Top 20, passing artists who are really popular and known in UK like Ed Sheeran, Jessie Ware, Geogre Ezra and others. Music fans, especially the ones who know how British charts work and what can improve the positions on them, predict a Top 5 peak for Lena's Trouble once the week end charts will come out, since Lena is scheduled to have about four more TV appearances during the week, she might do few surprises here and there, and with the video that is about to come out Lena is guaranteed to have a high charting single. This will be a second time that Lena's single enters the charts, and the last time any of Lena's music charted in UK was back in 2010 five years ago, when her debut single Satellite, the Eurovision Song Contest winning song, entered the charts at number thirty and stayed there for two weeks in a row, which was a huge achievement for Lena.

On the stage, Lena looked completely flawless and like she was meants to be on it for her whole life. She was all a good performer should be - confident, good-looking and happy, and Lena was all that. Not only she looked really confident with her high heels on, walking around the stage and making her fans scream, but she also looked really nice as well, and her outfit was just flawless. Lena wore a nice leather skirt that made her figure look really good and showed off long and beautiful legs and a grey crop top that showcased just a little bit of her tummy and made her look even better. Her medium length hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail which looked nice with this outfit. Lena's make up was simple, not too special or anything, just a bit of purple eyeshadow, mascara, nude lipstick and bit of blush that made her cheeks look puffy and nice. Overall, Lena looked really stylish and beautiful.

Lena on Alan Carr: Chatty Man

WORD COUNT: 1257



Lena's brand new single Trouble is currently flying up the charts right now as it is somewhere in Top 5 on British iTunes charts right now - the song received a lot of attention once Lena performed her new song on biggest British TV shows X Factor UK, visited BBC Radio 1 where she literally took over the station for a whole hour to talk about a lot of things with the host of the radio, perform Trouble and cover Taylor Swift's Style for Live Lounge and where she premiered Trouble for the first time ever on the radio, and also after she covered a brand new issue of British Vogue, which also caused some controversy for Lena and British Vogue itself, because a lot of people couldn't understand why Lena got a chance not only to appear inside the magazine, but also on its cover as well. Right now, her Max Martin and Eg White produced single is fastly and surely rising up the charts, and it enterd the Top 5 on the charts few hours after Lena had performed the song on X Factor UK. It's safely sitting in the Top 5 right now, and with all the promo that Lena has ahead of her this week in United Kingdom there is a huge and strong possibility that she could end up snatching that number one position from other UK's singers and get her first ever number one single outside her home country Germany, where she has a really successful career. Now, Lena is continuing her promotional tour all around the UK before she heads off to United States to perform on a lot of shows as she drops by ITV studios to shoot her appearance for Alan Carr: Chatty Man show. Wearing a all dark outfit, Lena definitely looked like some kind of diva or a goddess, with her hair just flowing like that. Lena wore a black crop top with a loose burgundy jacket on top of it, black jeans and high heels. She also wore some accessories with this outfit - a few long necklaces that almost reached her tummy area, a gold bracelet and a lot of rings that made this whole outfit look even more interesting and unique. Her make up was a bit heavier this time than it was when Lena performed on X Factor UK - she wore more different things, didn't play with the colors and instead just applied dark eyeshadow that created that smoke type of effect, she also wore a bit darker lipstick that made her lips pop out a little bit and visually made them look bigger and fuller, and of course, some blush on the cheeks that rounded up her whole make up. Her hair was just as flawless as her make up, and that's because her hair was curled and it was falling down on her shoulders just perfectly and probably in a way that it was planned.

On the show, Lena sat down with the host himself Alan Carr to talk about some stuff that, and then Lena appeared again later during the show, right before the end of it, when she stepped on stage to perform her brand new single Trouble live. During her performance, Lena looked confident and brave, but she stayed in front of her microphone stand throughout this whole performance probably because there wasn't much space on the stage, unlike there was a lot of space during her performance of X Factor UK, and it would have looked a bit awkward or weird to walk from one side to the other side when it was such a small stage, so Lena just stayed in the same place for her whole performance. Even though she was standing in one place, she was still doing dancing a bit, flipping her hair, clapping her hands and doing all those simply dance moves which made it look like Lena was actually happy during the performance and enjoying her time. She didn't change clothes for her performance as she appeared with the same ones that she was interviewed with.

Alan: Ooooh, Lena! This is your first time on my show, am I right? Well it's good to have you here, I remember when I was bopping in my bedroom back in 2010 when I was still a fan of Eurovision, I was bopping to that song of yours... Satellite? Yeah, Satellite! Oh gosh, those were the times.
Lena: Yeah, those were the times that I really want to forget. In 2010 I thought that Satellite was the best song in the world that could become a hit in United States because of its quality and lyrics and everything, but now that I listen to that song, I just start laughing. It's a cute song and everything, but it is just so silly, it literally makes me laugh whenever I listen to it! I know it's weird that I laugh to my own music, but whenever I remember how seriously I took this song back in the day I just want to start laughing non-stop.
Alan: Do you ever compare your old music to the music that you make nowadays!
Lena: Not really, because it wouldn't make sense if I compared something that I recorded in, let's say, 2011, to the songs that I'm recording right now. It wouldn't make sense because I'm constantly evolving as an artist, and my music style and my vision is always and constantly chaging. With my second album I released music that was pop with jazz and funk influences, and now it's completely different, it's like pop music filled with guitars and that is influenced just a bit by indie rock, and it just wouldn't make sense if I compared these two different sounding albums.
Alan: Speaking of your new music, can you talk a bit about Trouble?
Lena: Yeah. I recorded this song back in 2014, I think it was around June, when I was obsessed with two songs that were Ariana Grande's Problem and The Neighbourhood's Sweater Weather. And I was just constantly jamming to both of these songs, I was listening to in the studio when I was recording with Max Martin, and he noticed that I love this pop influenced by indie rock music, and he thought of this really cool idea to mix two different styles and create something that would be of our own, something that is quite unique and original and unlike anything that plays on the radio nowadays. So he played with sounds, he invited some more producers that are more inexperienced in rock and indie rock than Max is, he collaborated with them, and that's how we came to this conclusion that we definitely have to record and produce an album like that, because the things that he and his rockstar friends produced were amazing. And one of those songs was Trouble, which instantly became my favorite song, and it's definitely one of the stronger ones on the album. There are stronger ones on there though, it's just... not the time yet for us to release the stronger ones. We want do it all little by little, without forcing it. So that's how Trouble's instrumental came to life. Then I had this idea in my mind about Trouble, about not needing a boyfriend because they're troubled and I have too many troubles to bring another one upon myself, and we managed to write that one in three hours, so it was crazy how fast it came to life, but it's amazing.

Lena on Later... with Jools Holland

WORD COUNT: 873



German singer and songwriter Lena Meyer-Landrut, who in music industry is known for her stage name Lena, is currently finishing up her promotional tour in UK before heading off to United States where she's going to appear on many TV shows and perform at a lot of events in order to promote her brand new single Trouble, which is currently slowly but surely rising on the charts and reached Top 5 on British iTunes recently after Lena had appeared and performed her brand new song on TV shows like X Factor UK, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, as well as after she had covered the prestigious fashion magazine which is probably one of the biggest and most popular magazines in the United Kingdom - British Vogue, though she received some controversy for covering it. But any kind of promotion is promotion, even if it's controversy or something else. Earlier today, after Lena shot an appearance for Alan Carr: Chatty Man, she rushed off to BBC studios where she shot another appearance for another TV show, this time - Later... with Jools Holland, where she performed her brand new single Trouble for the British audience and TV viewers. Sadly, but Lena wasn't interviewed by Jools Holland, but since Lena is still a bit unknown in UK, and only the biggest and the most known British and global starts get to be interviewed by the one and only himself Jools Holland, it's not really surprising that he didn't invite her to sit down with him on the comfortable looking couches and talk things through, but at least Lena got a chance to perform on his show, which is a lot, considering his television show is actually pretty huge and big here in UK, and that is exactly what Lena needs at the moment - a chance to perform on as many as possible shows that would help her to spread her brand new single Trouble to the people who are watching TV, and the bigger TV show is - the better, because that way she can get as much as possible people to buy her new Max Martin and Eg White produced song. Although most of the people probably turned off the TV by the time Lena got on stage to perform the song, since Later... with Jools Holland airs basically almost at midnight and watching it, especially if you have work next day, can be tough and challenging, but probably a lot of people stayed watching the show until the end, when Lena was performing, because the song got a huge update on British iTunes charts once she performed the song on the show. It's currently really rising on the charts despite being so rushed here in UK, since only songs that get put on pre-order first instead of getting rush released can reach the highest spots on the charts, but not in Lena's case, since Trouble is slowly rising on the charts, but it is getting huge updates because of all the performances and Lena's appearances, and also because radio is spinning it pretty often, and even BBC Radio 1 has Trouble on the A-List playlist, which means they play it many times a day.

Lena was introduced really nicely by Jools: "Now it's time for some music, my friends. I'm really pleased to have this talented and amazing girl on our show tonight who is for sure going to be one of the biggest stars in the music industry in the next following months. Her music is so catchy that you can't get it out of your head. Please welcome an upcoming singer who is ready to conquer the world with her brand new single Trouble, please welcome, Lena!" Once Jimmy stepped aside from the stage, all the lights went down and only a blue light behind Lena lighted up, creating this really nice illusion and effect as if it it's only a shadow without Lena standing there, because you were able to see her figure, but not her face or her outfit because the light was only showcasing her back. Then, Lena started singing a little bit of the song acoustically, and once it was time to sign the chorus, all the lights went on and the band that was placed somewhere in the back behind Lena started playing the song. It was a nice performance, it was full of energy and really beautiful, Lena's team also played a little bit with the lights this time as well, creating some effects and stuff like that, and overall, it was a nice performance. Lena seemed to be more confident than the last time she performed, her voice was strong and it wasn't shaking no more, because she got used to being the center of attention and performing infront of the cameras for millions of people. After her performance, Jools went up on stage, hugged Lena, thanked her for her amazing and stellar performance, kissed her on the cheek and told his viewers and the audience that was sitting in the studio to buy Lena's brand new single Trouble on iTunes as soon as possible. All the people that watched Lena's performance probably did so, because the song received quite an update right after Lena performed the song.

NATALIA KILLS ON VH1 STORY TELLERS.

745 words

After rounding up the first 6 shows of her sold out stadium “The Definition of Bad World Tour”, Natalia Kills stopped at VH1 to perform for Storytellers and give some background behind some of the songs on the album.


“Hello Everyone, my name is Natalia Kills! I am so happy to be here with all of you. You all look amazing and I want to thank you for coming out to share this evening with me, it means a whole lot. I just kicked off my world tour this week and the reception has been great, I played the stadium here at Atlanta just yesterday and it was a really fantastic show, how many of you showed up?”

**Numerous people from audience hoot and shout and applause to show their presence**

“Amazing, thank you all for coming out last night, I had such a blast, you were such an awesome audience. This night wouldn’t be as long as last night and I definitely wouldn’t perform as much songs as last night but I’m definitely going to be chatting a lot more with you this evening…telling you how some of my and your favorite songs came to be and just generally having a really special and intimate moment. Let me kick off with the first song…by the way, I will be performing 6 songs for you this night and in picking the setlist, I wanted something that would take us through a whole lot of genres, sounds, and eras. So in picking the opening number, I decided that we should start with a little 80s disco music, ladies and gentlemen, here is Whirlwind.”

Natalia performed the song with a lot of head banging, hip swaying, shimmering and a host of other 80s popular dance moves. It was a very vibrant performance and the audience stayed moving throughout the duration of the music.

“Woo! Before I go into the next song, let’s catch our breath and let me tell you a bit about the song you just heard. The song is produced by Jeff Bhasker….well, all my songs are produced by Jeff Bhasker but this one was influenced by Tina Turner, Ray Charles, and most importantly, Elvis. It was this evening when me and Jeff were having dinner in the studio and we just went on this throwback spree…we went on Pandora and selected the station and as the songs just progressed and went by, we got so motivated and so inspired, we wrote this song immediately after. The next song I will be singing is titled “Sirens” and this is a more sultry and sexy song. It’s actually written for my husband Willy Moon and we may or may not have had sex to this song before.”

Natalia goes on to perform sirens with a lot of sultry moves. She bends over a couple of times, shakes her ass a couple of times and even does a little pole dance with the mic stand. The performance was really sexy and the audience was really grooving to the music.

“Alright! So this next song I’m about to sing for you is going to slow things down a bit, it’s called “Eyes Shut” and it’s a song about betrayal and heartbreak.”

Natalia performed Eyes Shut while sitting down and audience waved their phones in the air in time with the music. Natalia quickly followed that song with Cast Away, another soulful and RnB song. She performed it in the same manner.

“We are coming to the end of the evening. These last two songs are songs that you should be more than familiar with by now. This first one is called “War, Lies, Love, Money” off my debut Ko-Motion album… I hope you still love it the way you did a couple of months back”

Natalia performed WLLM in the normal powerful fist pumping way she does. It was high energy and very fiery.

“This last song, the final song of the night is a song that because of you, sits at no. 5 on the singles chart and because of you guys also, this song has gone gold in 2 weeks….this song is called “Coven de Couture” and you are all more than eligible to join”.

Natalia performed the final song with her normal strutting. She also took selfies with fans and shook their hands. The night ended with a burst of confetti and smoke before Natalia bowed down and left.

SETLIST
Whirlwind
Sirens
Eyes Shut
Cast Away
War, Lies, Love, Money

Lena at Q Awards

WORD COUNT: 706



Yesterday, the prestigious Q Magazine Awards took place in a fancy hotel somewhere in London, where all of the British elite gathered to celebrate celebrities who have the best style, who are most known in the music industry and who deserves an honorable mention when it comes to acting in movies and other things. Surprisingly, German singer and songwriter Lena Meyer-Landrut, who is better known for her stage name which is just Lena, also attended the awards ceremony, and although she wasn't awarded for anything, but she still got a pretty important role during the night as she performed her brand new US and UK debut Max Martin and Eg White produced single Trouble, which is currently staying in the Top 3 on British iTunes charts and which should rise even more on the charts, because Lena is confirmed to appear on few more TV shows like The Graham Norton Show and Sunday Brunch, both on which Lena is going to perform and also have a short interview. Even though the people who were nominated got the most attention on the red carpet and throughout the night, but Lena caused people to turn around and take a good look at her because the Trouble singer was serving an absolute fire on the red carpet. Wearing a tight black dress with some sheer laces, she definitely showed off her beautiful figure and really impressive body that she managed to achieve during her long work out hours in the gym. The black and fitting material fitted Lena perfectly as it wrapped around her body like a glove and showcased her best features: her slim waist, beautiful thighs, nice figure and other things as well. Plus, it was kind of short, so it also showcased her beautiful long legs that were just smoking hot. Lena also chose black high ankle heels that completed this whole outfit and made Lena's longs look visually longer and better, and a bit more strict. For her make-up, Lena decided to go with the nude look, and rocked a bit of mascara, no eyeshadow, a lot of stuff like brow gel and brow powder on her eyebrows - which looked perfected to the gods, by the way, some foundation that made her skin appear more clear and flawlfree, and nude lipstick that completed this whole look. When it came to her hair, Lena went with the easiest solution and just pulled it all back into a low bun. Although her hair didn't look bad and it didn't ruin her outfit, but fashion critics said that they thought she could have rocked a better hairstyle, since Lena has really beautiful, shiny and nice hair that look really good when they're falling down her shoulders, especially when they're a bit curled, and Lena probably was just a bit lazy to fix and curl her hair, and that's why she thought the easiest way to complete this strict look would be to pull her hair back into a nice bun in the back.

On the stage, Lena appeared right before the most important nominations were announced. She showed up on the stage along with her band that got placed somewhere in the back on the stage, behind Lena, who was standing infront of the audience near the edge of that stage. She didn't change her outfit as she appeared with the same dress and the same outfit, and although it's not really the outfit that would be chosen to perform with, because it's tight and whenever you move you're risking to get your underwear exposed or other things, but Lena didn't move a lot on the stage as she just stayed in one place infront of a microphone stand and performed the song to the audience. The performance of her new single Trouble was nice, it was cute, but it wasn't special or anything, no special effects, or dancers, and Lena herself didn't move a lot on the stage either, so it wasn't really interesting or unique, just a little performance that Lena probably didn't rehearse for. Later during the night, Lena appeared on the stage once again when she announced the winner of Best Breakthrough Arist of the Year nomination and gave the award to Sam Smith.

Charli XCX just released on her vevo the music video for her brand new single 'Sucker' which is featured on her new sophomore album 'SUCKER' which was just released earlier this week. The video has reached hundreds of thousands of views within the first few hours.
The video starts off by showing Charli with her boyfriend at a gas station's shop buying some water. The boyfriend flirts with the girl working at the cashier. After a while during which Charli tries to ignore all this, Charli suddenly gets out of the shop and starts a red retro car. The boyfriend looks out of the window after hearing the car which starts moving away. The music starts and the music video just shows many clips of Charli inside her car all by herself and other clips show her boyfriend running after the car which was already way too far away. During the last chorus Charli drives back to the gas station where the boyfriend is still sitting down at after he fell on the ground. Charli just calls the boyfriend who looks happy to see her again but she just starts driving again making the car move in circles around the boyfriend who looks depressed and sad while Charli sings the lyrics "**** You Sucker!".
Charli XCX's new album 'SUCKER" is now available and so is her brand new single 'Sucker'.

Christina performs on American Idol





Late last evening, Christina Aguilera performed on the American Idol stage which was in preparation for the return of the hit talent competition show. She headlined the results for the first live show of American Idol's 15th season after it has been ongoing since it's quite memorable debut back in 2002. She performed only one song and that was Amethyst Bleach which serves as the third single from Christina's 2015 release - Truth Pill - after her 8th studio album shot up the album charts last week, during its very own release week. Christina Aguilera has performed her Amethyst Bleach numerous of times before in the past month. However, its promotion cycle is going to be wrapping up in a moment's notice before Christina's ready to move onto her fourth single from the experimental Paul Epworth-executively produced record and fully invest herself in her worldwide The Naked Truth Tour which is gearing up for its first leg next week although the tour started early last week due to such high demand. This performance on American Idol of Amethyst Bleach was definitely entirely for the fans since Amethyst Bleach has already been doing extremely well in terms of chart success, streaming points and on the radio overall. In actual fact, both the lyric video and the music video for the industrial pop track Amethyst Bleach have been getting so many views on Youtube and on Christina Aguilera's VEVO page so much so that the two videos for Amethyst Bleach have already surpassed the views of Christina's previous singles' music videos - Waves and her duet with the effervescent Bjork - combined. This is a monumental feat that should Christina should be proud of. In addition, to indirectly commemorate this impressive achievement, the music video for Amethyst Bleach was playing in the background while Christina sang her third single on the American Idol stage last night.

Onto the actual performance itself then, shall we? Well, Christina Aguilera did her damn thing on the American Idol stage last night. She even got a standing ovation from the judges which includes Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez. It's refreshing to finally see Christina on the other side of things for once instead of sitting in her red chair all day on the rival NBC show The Voice. For this performance, the production wasn't anything special and her previous performances of Christina's third single - Amethyst Bleach - were definitely a bit more fine tuned than what needs be. Nevertheless, this almost added depth to the song and was the performance's strength in many ways if you catch our drift. She donned her newly bleached cherry black hair which was a nice surprise and pleasant delight compared to her signature platinum blonde hair even though she always looks rather dashing in no matter what shade she feels like. Christina Aguilera's stage presence was insane as always as the energy from both the crazed audience and the judging panel was fed back to Christina herself. You could tell that she was enjoying it up there. That that stage was where she had always belonged... ever since birth. Christina Aguilera is a natural pro and, here at the HQ, we're glad she's finally "got back" and showed this younger generation how it's truly done and who Christina Aguilera truly is. Even at her worst moments, Christina still somehow manages to pull everything off and always delivers what she's now especially known for in this day and age and throughout her entire career - her voice.

Christina wore a translucent jumpsuit which mirrored that of a new age plastic that the Ancient Greeks would wear if they time travelled back to the future. Yes, an interesting description of her ensemble we're sure! The blue-ish embellishments found all over her outfit brought out Christina's ocean blue eyes and made them pop out even more. Her makeup was definitely quite heavy although it did not look messy at all like she can sometimes be prone in doing. The makeup, albeit very much like a drag queen's, actually suited Christina Aguilera for once. The performance was received respectably well by various online blogs and on social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook. Many fans even campaigned afterwards for Christina to be brought back just in time for the finale of American Idol.

Lady Gaga and Madonna on Ellen



Pop queens Madonna and Lady Gaga appeared on Ellen together today to talk about their new collaboration, “PARTYNAUSEOUS”. They also did an excellent performance of the hit song, which has sparked controversy as the duo smoked cigars on stage in a song which the two global female superstars had already brought in complaints by numerous parents activist groups for “promoting drugs” in the song’s lyrics. In fact, many mistook the cigars for cannabis spliffs as the song references weed. NBC has received over a thousand complaints. But, you know what they say; no publicity is bad publicity, and this has always been the case for controversial, polarizing and provocative pop divas including Madonna and Gaga.

The duo were interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres as they talked about a variety of topics; “PARTYNAUSEOUS”, their upcoming albums, relationships, family, diet and fitness, fanbases, celebrity life, feminism, Britney Spears and much more. The duo played Ellen’s “Heads Up” game with her, where they did an hilarious accent game.


The performance begins with a dramatic lead guitar solo. The stage is set with dull oceanic lighting a trippy-acid seapunk theme, as there is seaweed, dancers dressed as scaly fish with avant-garde tentacles and spikes are swarming the stage and greek mythology references, and a screen in the background showing an underwater scene. Throughout the performance the screen shows multiple tumblr style seapunk GIFs, particularly in the build-up and chorus of “PARTYNAUSEOUS”.



Suddenly, two different coloured seashells descend onto the stage as the song begins. The one on the left is opened and reveals Gaga inside it, holding a giant pearl. She emerges from the seashell and begins to sing her verse. She is wearing a blue and white-spotted leotard with elaborate rubber tentacles, and has a black wig with a fringe.



She comes to the front of the stage where heavy fog resides and a fan blows on her, and makes her hair and costume wave beautifully. She pops the giant pearl which explodes rainbow confetti onto the audience. More dancers enter the stage, this time wearing darker clothing then the other dancers, who sneak to the other seashell and open to reveal Madonna. The spotlight goes on Madonna as the crowd cheers. She is wearing a similar Octopus-like costume to Gaga, but it has black and white Dalmatian spots. She begins to sing her section of the song.



“We're currently set from the East
I be queen Madon-na-na
We PARTYNAUSEOUS 'cause I seem to ‘ve some problem with ya”

Gaga and Madonna stand face to face as they sing the song with their separate dancers, as they try to outdance each other. The performance continues with Gaga and Madonna stripping off their outfits to reveal just the leotards and fishnet stockings underneath as they continue to perform their song. They exit the stage in the mouth of a giant animated whale prop as they smoke cigars, which sparked the outrage and controversy.


"PARTYNAUSEOUS (feat. Madonna)" is available on
