Taylor & Zendaya on The View
Live on The View this morning were two of the most talented ladies in mainstream pop, Taylor Swift and Zendaya. The two girls had never met prior to the release of their single 'Gunshots' which they are both promoting this week for Zendaya's upcoming sophomore album and Taylor's newly released EP, 'Coven 13: The EP'. The song has taken over airwaves on multiple genres (Pop, Rhythmic, Urban, and AC) becoming Zendaya's biggest hit on radio and what soon may be one of Taylor Swift's biggest. The song has been perched in the top three on iTunes for quite some time now and is inching on #2/#1 which are both close to each other in response to the promotion the girls have been doing so far this week. This included the girls performing on TRL, Good Morning America, and the X Factor UK. The girls on The View this morning talked about 'Gunshot', boys, and lastly their upcoming albums. They also performed 'Gunshots' also, both girls wearing a outfit that consisted of tank top with a Balenciaga yellow zebra striped maxi skirt that went up to their mid waist, with a matching blazer over. The outfit was topped off with a pair of zebra printed heels. Zendaya and Taylor's hair were straightened as they served business woman chic. They sang the song well, performing a Jhené Aiko sounding version of the song as they jammed out, doing a few little dance moves before the crowd applauded them for their feel good performance.
Host: Wow don't you two girls look absolutely gorgeous. That performance was absolutely gorgeous too. What are you girls wearing?
Zendaya: We're wearing an outfit designed for us exclusively by Balenciaga.
Taylor: Except the heels. These are Jimmy Choo. The heels our stylists chose for us weren't really the tea so we had sort of explored around and got these. They're a pretty good match I think.
Host: So do you girls plan out your outfits or you just choose out of a selection?
Zendaya: I would say it's a mixture of both. Sometimes in my head I'm imagining an outfit with a piece I know I want to wear. So I'll choose out a dress I want to wear for a place I'll be promoting then when I get there I choose some heels or some jewelry. That's how it is with me.
Taylor: I'm very organized so I like to sort of plan out my outfits. But sometimes your stylist just ends up styling you.
Host: So you girls styled yourself with this outfit?
Taylor: Zendaya chose this outfit. It's really strange for me to wear this because I've never worn anything like it but I think it works. I trust her.
Host: You two have great chemistry on stage and off. Was that chemistry with you two in the studio?
Zendaya: Oh yeah. Taylor is just as sweet as she is here as she is in the studio. She always has that charm to her and that uplifting feeling wherever she goes. She's truly a hardworking artist.
Taylor: Thank you so much for that, Z. She's a real pleasure to work with. You know some artists in the industry today are total bitches. That's the opposite with Zendaya. She's down to earth and just so talented too.
Host: There's been much talk about this 'Gunshots' video. What are we gonna get from it?
Zendaya: A lot actually. I'll let Taylor talk about it. I mean she wrote the video.
Taylor: We both directed it and edited it too, by the way. She was in charge of the styling as well. The video is really about the downfall of love. It's about how money, greed, and the desire for power can lead to the demise of love. I can't really go into detail about it because we want people to be stunned by the video and we think they will be.
Host: Both you ladies will be releasing your albums soon. What kind of sound can we expect from them?
Zendaya: My album is going to be a little different from my first one. By little I mean a lot. It's a whole lot more mature and more urban than what I did before. It's definitely going to be a record I'm proud of.
Taylor: I heard some of Zendaya's record and it's very impressive. Her vocals are just absolutely angelic on it. 'Coven 13: The EP' is kind of going to be a brief era for me. But the next record is going to be a total turn away from the sound of it. I'm still making the album but it's taking a very R&B sounding turn. It's just going to be a very diverse record I feel. That's just my early prediction.

Game of the Week!
(Hyped Opportunity)
Before, I explain.
1. Now instead of 2 games per week - for the sales + one for the magazine and a little less sales, we'll have 1 game per week.
2. I'll try to start doing less videogames, since people despise them + there was a little suspicious activity involving those.
3. The rule originally was that the 1st place winner could not participate the following week to stop the same people from winning often. But now since we're branching into more different games and 3 people win prizes instead of 1 I'll let everyone participate weekly.
This week, Apple is looking for some artists to have appear in the new commercials for the upcoming iOS7. During the commercials it will promote them during the music part, where the winners have their song + album cover show up while someone is listening to music.
Prizes:
1st Place -- 25,000 extra single sales & 15,000 copies of album pre-ordered + Magazine cover. This means WHENEVER you release the album, those extra sales will be added to the first week. You don't have to have an album out this week.
2nd Place / 3rd Place -- 15,000 extra single sales + Magazine Interview.
This is due Friday night 11 PM EST! You have today, Thursday, and Friday to do it.
Participating is OPTIONAL.
Game:
Guess the Music Video!
These are all pictures of hits in 2014. Whichever guess the most properly will win.
1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 
6. 
7. 
8. 
9. 
10. 
PM me answers ofcourse.

Namie Amuro Performs On Rising Star Monday Night
Premiers First Teaser Of Sweet Kisses Music Video
On Monday Night Namie Amuro took to newly premiered singing competition 'Rising Star' to not only perform a very colorful performance of her new single Sweet Kisses but as well as to unveil the first teaser for the singles upcoming music video!
The Performance
After being introduced to the audience the camera locks onto the Rising Star stage as we see it's completely decorated in what seems to be Christmas lights all lit up white accompanied Various candy themed ornaments some huge and some small kind of like a little candyland with the finishing touch of pink snow falling on stage. "Oh boys, it's never too early to be in the season giving.....Mwhaa!" We hear namie recite this line as Sweet kisses starts to play immediately after as A huge present Box comes rising from underneath the stage as girls in white puffy dressed come out on stage with baskets of gumdrops and peppermints as the into plays.The 1st verse hits and the present opens having the front of it fall forward as we See Namie Posing all cheery before going into singing staying within her little box as her dancers occupy the stage twirling and dancing before the chorus comes in which Namie walks out her box and starts dancing along with her backups as the stage lights starts flashing various colors and the candy ornaments starts spinning. Pre-Chorus hits and Namie and dancers starts stripping out their huge puffy dressed only to reveal tight skimpy outfits all hippy themed underneath, they all march back onto the present which now has 3 peppermint pols in it as the 2nd verse hits Namie and 2 other grab onto the poles and start doing some sexy choreography as the other girls are align around the present doing different choreo. The chorus hits again and Namie swings off the pole going towards the crowd as light blue smoke starts spraying from everywhere giving the room a blueberry smell.as Namie dances front and center as the girls occupy the present box. Post-Chorus again and Namie goes up to the box again this time shoo-ing the girls off of it as they all scurry backstage, the bridge hits and the stage darkens as the Christmas lights, light up along with the set props. Namie lays on the box as she starts singing her heart out to the crowd before she begins her taunting little chant in which she slowly gets up from the floor as wee some huge gumballs descend from the ceiling and some even rolling onto the stage around Namie. When the Chorus hits again all the gum balls rotate clockwise revealing her dancers several of them within em as they all start dancing as Namie goes strutting around her box jumping for joy. When the outro plays all the girls start marching out the gum balls behind Namie as the pose in front of the stage spread out in a triangle formation!
Music Video Teaser
After her performance Namie was taken aside by the host of rising star Josh Gorban as he made minimal conversation with her before announcing Namie had given them an exclusive sneak peek at her upcoming new music video for Sweet Kisses which drove the crowd while as it started to play on the screens. The teaser starts out with a black blank screen for a second before we hear "Are you ready for this sugar rush?" The clapping pattern in sweet kisses starts to play as we see as Shot of Namie in a very industrial gloomy factory dressed up in a lieutenant outfit of black and white as the screen starts slowly zooming out. Namie and her soldiers behind her start going into this sound off as they start stepping in a cheer looking all serious yelling out lyrics of Sweet Kisses. Namie at on point whips her head to the left as the Camera goes for a up close shot of hers eyes as she winks. The screen fades into black as we start hearing Sweet Kisses play as the single cover font Fades on screen saying "Sweet Kisses, Music Video, 7/??/2014

"Gunshots" dominates Rhythmic, Urban and Pop radio
It was just announced by Mediabase & AllAcess that one of the hottest songs in the country at the moment, "Gunshots" - which was created by Zendaya and Taylor Swift - is smashing hard on radio and received about 600 spins from all of the formats daily! Although officially the song was sent out to radios just two days ago, but Rhythmic and Pop stations have been spinning the new song since Saturday, when it was officially released on iTunes. Now Pop, Urban and Rhythmic formats are mainly supporting the duo's single as they play and play this song more often and add the song onto playlists. Other than those three formats, other formats started to support this song as well, but it seems that "Gunshots" isn't taking over other formats that fast as it took over previously mentioned formats. Now the song is getting about 300 spins from Pop format, about 100, and sometimes 200, spins from Rhythmic format, and about 100 spins from Urban format as well. Mostly all of biggest radio stations in the country, such as Z100, KIIS FM, Power FM LA, areall playing this song at least four times a day, which definitely makes audience numbers increase as well. It is actually crazy that this song is getting huge attention from the start on the radio, considering it's not really Pop format friendly and Zendaya's name isn't that big, so that just means that the main reason why Pop format radios are playing "Gunshots" is because of Taylor's chorus and the bridge, which makes this song more Pop. One of the Mediabase workers decided to comment on such an unexpected "Gunshots" success on radio: "This song is definitely not Pop, but it seems that people are loving to hear it, on any kind of radio. If you want this song to be urban - it's urban, if you want this song to be - pop, then it's going to be pop for you. I'm not sure who produced this song or who wrote the lyrics, but someone did an amazing job with meshing these two styles of music, and it was a smart idea to get Taylor Swift, who is one of the artists that radio loves to play. I can definitely see this song becoming a hit, and I would be a little bit surprised if it won't end up being one. It has an amazing feeling, the lyrics are relatable, and both of the artists know how to market their products, as they're doing that right now by heavily performing it on TV shows. I'm really excited to see where this song will end up."

WAR//MONEY PROMOTIONAL TOUR [MUST READ!!]
DAY 1 - HOUSE OF BLUES, BOSTON
As fans enter the theatre, they see this
Fans continue to the pile into the sold out theatre. Everyone waiting and ready to see Natalia Kills.
Finally, the lights dim.....
STOP ME
The Lights Kick In First, Then The Stage Background, Then The Bass...
Fist Pumping, Heavy Jumping, In The Theatre, and then Natalia Steps Out..
"Father, Father, what have you done done done done...
You made a monster, and now I gotta run run run run".
She sings standing to the microphone while fist pumping during the verses and chorus before going into a major dance breakdown after the third verse.
The lights and bass images moving everytime in tune with the music. Stop Me Finishes
MIRRORS
Sirens Begin To Flare!
Natalia Grabs A Seat And Begins To Do A Major Strip Tease as she sings Mirrors.
Images play behind her on screen of mirrors fogging and breaking as well as Natalia looking directly into the camera making some seriously sexy faces.
She continues to sing Mirror and at a point in the show, brings a male member of the audience for a lap dance.
After the dance, the boy goes back to the crowd and she moves to the microphone stand to finish the rest of the song.
She finishes Mirrors holding her microphone with nothing but her bra and tights.
PROBLEM
The Sirens Get Louder as the Bass Gets Thicker and Natalia gets her jacket as two backup dancers get on stage beside her.
Natalia begins to sing
"Sweat dripping down your chest
Thinking bout your tattoo knuckles on my thigh boy"
As she sings she touches herself in raunchy ways and does a very cheeky choreography for the thumping chorus.
Problem is mostly full of choreography and the lighting blazing as we hear the Sirens still playing as the song ends and the lights dim.
ACT 2: ACOUSTIC SET
DEVILS DON'T FLY, HEAVEN, MARLBORO LIGHTS
A video of Natalia working on a lonely street obviously feeling sad reels. We see Natalia trying very hard to force a laugh and trying to be happy as she tries to play with lamp poles and dance by herself
The video fades with the lights coming up to reveal Natalia sitting down on stage with the spotlight on her.
Natalia then says
"Loneliness and Depression are battles that many of us fight every day. When You Find The Right One, Keep Them Close!
I am not an angel, far from it, but we all deserve love"
She then kicks into a sultry yet sad song called "Devils Don't Fly" followed by the emotional ballad "Heaven" and ends her acoustic set with the nostalgic "Marlboro Lights"
The Lights Fade after Marlboro Lights as Natalia exits the stage
ACT 3
The Stage Lights Up!
The stage lighting starts from bottom to top and as it gets to the top, a Bunny Rabbit head appears.
The audience knows what is about to go down.
RABBIT HOLE
Natalia steps out in a red bra, red shorts, and red girdle.
She then begins to sing the sexy, fierce anthem "Rabbit Hole". She is touching herself, singing, moving, and generally having a blast on stage as the lights move in time with the music.
 
She does this jump and head tapping dance whenever singing the "When I Fall In Love, I Fall Down The Rabbit Hole" part and it's just a generally fun song.
She quickly charges into
CONTROVERSY
Controversy sees Natalia standing a spot and basically rapping the lyrics of Controversy.
The Night Ends With her single
"War, Lies, Love, Money"
The performance is a very happy one. Shots and scenes from the music video play behind her as she goes into the crowd, sings, dances, gets back on stage, and just has a good time singing the song.
She ends the show by saying
"Thank You All For Coming Out, it has been incredible. Can't wait for you to hear the album and I will see you again when I'm on my actual tour. GOOD NIGHT!"

Oh, but there is a new rule for weekly games.
For those involved in collaborations, only the highest score from a player counts. This is so 2,3, 4+ people can't play to help 1 single so they snatch 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It'd be unfair to people with solo singles.
