Fans Question Marina in Facebook Q&A, covers Britney in performance
Marina & The Diamonds set aside some time from her busy promo schedule to answer some questions and do a session at Facebook HQ. The performance was live streamed on the website, it was something they had never done, Marina being a tester for to reception of it. Any facebook users who logged into facebook during the livestream were sent a notification referring them to the stream. It's estimated that almost a million people watched the stream. First up were the questions:
Quote:
Q: Who are you most excited to be working with this era?
A: Well, I do love Dr. Luke and Sia dearly but I'm probably most excited to be working with Bo Burnham. He's a hilarious and thoughtful person. We've written, like, 15 something songs at this writing session yesterday. Also I maaaaay have a slight crush on him haha
Q: What songs (other than yours) do you like right now?
A: Most of them are amazing! Well, on the way here we were listening to my EP, Britney's Gimme Your Best, Natalia Kill's new songs, a few others as well. Oh, and Gunshots. Zendaya made that song for me honestly.
Q: Are there any collaborations coming?
A: The last two albums had absolutely no features on it, but this time around I don't really mind. There are none on the EP but there are some in the works.
Q: What is the WTDG video going to be?
A: I actually just started filming the video two days ago! I want it to be a surprise, so I'll just tell you that it's based off of a TV show that I hadn't watched before coming over to the states. It's absolutely hilarious.
Q: Whats your favorite track off the EP?
A: Well of course I love WTDG, but the song Myths is my absolute favorite. It's probably in my top 5 songs I've ever made.
Q: Will you be touring a lot soon?
A: I'll definitely try to! I'm touring for the EP but I will be touring whenever I have an album out for sure.

After the questions, Marina got on stage and started talking to the in studio audience of 25. "Hello everyone that is here in studio, or watching online! Thank you guys for watching and supporting this livestream. Alright, so I'm gonna start this off with my latest single, Where The Diamonds Grow." The performance was a very peaceful one, with Marina sitting at her piano and singing at her very best. The audience claps along to the beat. When the song comes to the "Give me the money" line, the audience goes crazy at Marina's vocal range. She continues to do a little talk rap through the rest of the song, eventually leaving her piano to jump around the stage as the audience throws her CDs on stage for her to sign. As the song closes, Marina bows her head as the beat of How To Be A Heartbreaker starts playing. Marina walks into the audience and dances on one of the guys as she sings the first verse. When she gets to the chorus, she starts grinding on the guy, dropping it low, and even giving him a kiss as she leaves to find another guy. Marina does this again, and again, until she is back on the stage. "Well that's probably my favorite performance!" Marina says, sitting down. The audience laughs. "This next song is by an artist who has inspired me in almost everything I do, and I know she inspires a ton of people. She's a living legend." As Marina finishes her intro, she lies on the floor and starts singing an acapella version of Gimme Your Best. The camera pans into Marina's face as she sings the song, not blinking. At the end of the song, she looks into the camera once again and says "I love you Britney!" as she laughs. "Okay that's almost it guys! It's been amazing, really. This next song is a sad one, but I'm gonna sing it!" She walks over to her piano and begins playing Obsessions. She gives a heartfelt performance, occasionally looking at the camera with a "How could you?" look on her face. Tears roll down her face as she finishes the song. She wipes them away, gets up, and ends the show with a farewell. "I hope everyone had an amazing time, I know I did! Buy my new single, it's now," she laughs. "And pre order my EP, it'll be amazing I promise. And be sure to catch me on Ellen next week! Bye everyone!" The hashtags #MarinaGimmeYourBest, #MarinaOnFacebook, and #WhereTheDiamondsGrow trended world wide during the performance.

Everyone's writing in here is amazing. Just have fun. If the game becomes too much of a chore and is no longer fun, it isn't worth doing it, If it takes writing a bunch of novels for you to have fun, do that. If you want short to the point articles and fill up several great ideas, that is awesome too. As iHype has said numerous times length is only part of it. All my articles last week were short and I still sold like 320,000k and hit #6 which means there is more to the formula. Even a lot of Jax's articles are short. Don't stress over word counts.

She shook her hips, ass, and even did a belly dance. Rihanna tehn went into a huge circle, she stood in it, and around her flames started blowing out, wind machine was used to blow fire away, and it looked amazing, especially on tv, Rihanna hair were waving and looking just gorgeous in the background, audience was screaming and shouting Rih’s name, also the contestants with their crew were dancing in green room. Rihanna jumped around the stage, looking gorgeous.
A huge diamond was shown flying around, it landed on stage, and opened lots of smoke came out of it, and balloons. Rih said “Bring it Bran” brandy walked out and started slaying her part, she was wearing a beautiful short black dress, and hot golden jacket with spikes, her shoes were also made out of diamonds, and shined bright for crowd. Then Brandy yelled “let’s do this” Her shoes got on fire, and she started doing jumptyle moves, she was literally killin it, she then shuffled, did some street dance with dancers and in the end of her part she did a cheerleaders routine with Rih and dancers.
After Brandy left, Rihanna continued performing in her cheerleader outfit, even more dancers joined her, and they did a huge wave, and asked the crowd to do the same, they danced around, fires, smoke bombs shot from the bottom of the stage, and it looked really great. Then beat slowed down, all dancers went away, and Rihanna was left one on the stage.
“Medusa” kicked in lots of half naked men showed on the stage with snaked on their bodies; they were tattooed man, and very muscular. Suddenly Rihanna disappeared, she then jumped out of the floor wearing a sedusa outfit, her hair were spiky, and she wore a red outfit, and long black “****” socks, and long black heels, she seduced man on stage, and played with them.
Then the remix version of medusa kicked in, and Rihanna dropped her outfit, and was left on only the bra and golden shorts, she danced did amazing routine, and just slayed the whole Vienna stadium, it was literally a burning performance. Car then drove on stage, Rih and her dancers took baseball bats and staretd breaking it, also danced on it, it was like a prop, but they ruined it. Then lots of fireworks shot in the air, and the performance ended with Rihanna and dancers lying on a vandalized car.
Conchita came on stage, she looked amazed, and started saying : how cool was this? Guys, I wanna hear you all (everybody screamed, shouted, clapped, some girls even cried) Conchita ran to Rihanna and said you are amazing, this performance was everything I have always wanted and I can’t even expresses myself the way I want to, you are definitely a queen of my pop, loved every single thing of this.

Keke Palmer and Marina & The Diamonds have a rap battle, Marina drops F-Bomb on live TV
In a surprise appearance during the last few minutes of the Just Keke show, singer Marina & The Diamonds crashed the show. On her way in she challenged Keke to a rap battle. If Marina won, Just Keke's theme would be changed to Marina's latest single 'Where The Diamonds Grow'. If Keke won, Marina would have to do an interview. Marina started off the battle:
"Yo, I heard you got around the block
Ya, heard you sucked lots of c**k
Well bish I ain't bout that
push me and I'll bounce back
Yo mama p***y baggy, just like a dragon
Yo games slow, oo bish you laggin.
Real n***a ****
F*ck with me" (The f-word wasn't censored out on TV)
It was Keke's turn next:
"Wow bish who is you?
You tryna talk, all I smell is poo.
English mother****er aight
Don't talk **** unless you ready to fight"
Everyone in studio unanimously picked Marina's rap over Keke's. Marina and Keke hugged, then Marina left the show while her new single "Where The Diamonds Grow" played. WTDG is now also Just Keke's theme song.

Mariah Carey on The Wendy Williams Show
Today on the Wendy Williams, Mariah Carey made a holographic appearance just to perform "Libidinous Dream" on her show. Her appearance on the Wendy Williams show was only hinted by Wendy herself two hours before the show begins. Due to that subtle hint, a lot of people tuned in just to watch and see if whether the show will become messy and the hashtag #mariahvswendy & #mariah&wendymess were trending for that duration of 2 hours before the show began.
As for Mariah's performance, she made a holographic entrance as the intro of a remixed "Libidinous Dream" was played. Wearing a golden yellow gown, covered with tiny swarovski diamonds surrounding it, she then started singing a pre-recorded version of "Libidinous Dream". Although the performance was pre-recorded, Mariah did a great job by compensating with her great choreography and elusively changing her gown to a shiny blue one halfway during the performance.
The great and elusive performance received standing ovation from the audiences present in the studio. Even Wendy herself got too excited and wanted to hug Mariah, but fell down trying because Wendy had forgotten that Mariah was a hologram.

As we all know yesterday Rihanna's music video for "juicy Cakes" premiered on vevo and mtv, but today we went to Rihanna's vevo and we found a lyrics video uploaded, we were pretty confuses, why do that when video is already premiered and has been viewed like over 43 million views, but then we saw lyrics video views that were 5 million and we understood, smart business woman she really is.

Marina & The Diamond's song 'Where The Diamonds Grow' quoted in SUICIDE LETTER
The glamorous pop star's latest single 'Where The Diamonds Grow' was quoted in a 21-year-old's suicide note. The note, along with the body, was found in John Uxa's apartment earlier this morning. The TV, which had been left on, was paused on Marina's Good Morning America performance that also happened earlier in the morning. The line the letter quotes are 'You'll find me, where the diamonds grow', which refer to greed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of John Uxa. He was gone too soon, and had such good taste in music. Marina's single 'Where The Diamonds Grow' is available to purchase now and her EP 'The Money' is available for pre order now.

The tracklist of Aguilera's upcoming 8th studio album - "Pandora's Box" - has been wondrously revealed by her team. It consists of 18 standard tracks and 5 extra bonus tracks. Female rappers M.I.A. and Azealia Banks are featured on "Tribal Haze" and "Spitfire", respectively. Meanwhile, leading lady and head honcho of rock band Paramore [Hayley Williams] is supposedly dueting with Christina on mysteriously titled "Abyss". It also seems as though previously teased "Let Them Eat Cake" has made the cut. Just a few days ago, Xtina tweeted this: "Ride me like a beer wagon... #LetThemEatCake". So, after many days of speculation, it has been confirmed that that tweet was a hint at what's to come. How wonderful!
There is also a deluxe edition of "Pandora's Box", which includes: a cover of Etta James' "At Last", original songs "In The Deep End" and "Why Am I Still Waiting Here?", a solo version of AGBW & Aguilera's "Say Something", and Aguilera's universally-acclaimed smash hit buzz single "Eclectic".
We're looking to witnessing how these songs will materialise and have faith in Legend X's ear for music.
Aguilera's lead single "Nighthawks" is now available for purchase.

Marina appears in PSA about spaying and neutering your animals
The commercial starts off with Marina imitating a cat. Her single 'Where The Diamonds Grow' plays throughout the commercial. After the cute "Meow!" the serious part begins.
"Millions of kittens are born every year, and those kittens grow up into cats very quickly. Next thing you know, those cats are getting knocked up and having kittens too. Babies having babies, you could say" She throws her head back as she cackles at her joke. "Hi, I'm Marina & The Diamonds, celebrated singer, model, and enthusiast for spaying and neutering your pets. Did you know that if you don't spay and neuter your pets you're not just a horrible person, but your chances of going to Hell increase by 50%. Look at your pet right now. Were they a planned birth, or an accident? Would you want any other animals to be born as "accidents"? I didn't think so!"
"Now unless you want to be crying in Hell, you better spay and neuter you animals!"
As the commercial ends, viewers are told to buy Marina's new single 'Where The Diamonds Grow' on iTunes and to spay and neuter their pets.

Rihanna – “Sex Diary” track by track interview with vevo.
 
***** yo up.
The opened of my album is song called “***** Yo Up” I know it sounds dirty, edgy and cocky, for some even disgusting. But it’s actually a giant finger to all the exes, that threat girls wrong, I know so many girls that are bullied by their guys and I just think that it shouldn’t be that way, the next time some guy tried to bully me or hurt me, I will not held back I will ***** him up and threat him the same way he threats me, we girls just have to stand up to guys. This is a song to inspire all the ladies out there that are dealing with problems like that.
Queen Bitch ft. Lil Kim
Well this was truly an unexpected collab, but Lil’Kim somehow got my number and called me, she said I have this unfinished song, and I want you to help me finish it, and make it a new anthem of rap/pop, I said why not, we sat a few nights on it, but we finished it, it sounded that flawless and I was shocked when Kim asked me to put this song on my album. This song is about being the main b**ch in the game and having people to praise you, it’s a very cocky and over the top song, but it makes you feel good about yourself.
Lolly On My Pop ft. Katy Perry
Three month, work with Katy and her team. We worked a few nights with Luke, Bonnie, Max, and Katy on the lyrics. It was just a very huge process, because we wanted to do the next California gurls, just dirtier and more, sexy. We actually did that, but it’s a bit far away from my sound, so it’s a very different song from me, as critics said Katy’s track right? Oh well, I still love it. Girly anthem.
Medusa
Lead single from my album it’s about a woman from history “medusa” I really loved Medusa, movies with her in it, she is just a total Queen, the snaked on her head, so I thought of song about it, and well it turned way better than expected. It’s like a cannibal anthem about girl that hates boys, so she keeps on killing them with her snakes.
Crazy For $
Song about dollar sign$. I love money, because I’m bad gal as you all knowT. In this song I’m singing about being rich, but still wanting money, about every possible way to get them. I sing how I dream about dollars in my sleep and how I would do anything for a nickel. I just want money in this song, I swim in them, but I still want more. Mr Krabs teas, right? Hehe
Juicy Cakes ft. Brandy
My second single as you all know. I did this song at first alone, but then I though that it needs something, some other artist on it, I tried all sorts of girl Solange, Iggy, Cher, but none of them worked, but then I got a call from Brandy, she said that she is interested in this, and would like to try out, so we emt in studio and it was like magic, she had everything that I wanted. And then we recorded this sex anthem, some famous produces produced it, and now we have it done, and it’s a single. It’s a sex anthem written by Khia, so you all probably know what this is all about. (laughs)
Drink It (Shots)
I did this song with Cockiness produces, I myself actually love it, and my fans love it, but for some reason critics say that it’s the worst song of my career, I completely disagree, they can say what they want, I none curr about them. This song is my jam. It’s about getting drunk and doing silly things while drunk, just f**kin with randoms, doing mistakes and not remembering anything next day (even baby’s fathers)
Burning Night
A slow song, huge ballad of the album. It’s a song about obsession with drugs, and trying to kill yourself. But there’s always something that stops you, and my antidote is night, the burning night, which always burns me when I try to harm myself. It always stops me by burning me, and making me feel weaker, but never let’s me kill myself.
Drowning (prod by Zedd)
A song I did with Zedd, it’s an upbeat track something like Arina’s “Break free” it’s very catchy, fun, and relatable. It’s about living life, and not giving f**k about other opinion. It’s just a feel good song, but also with the message that you will find when you will listen.
F**k Me(Like You Mean it)
Song about guys that don’t turn girl on, they can only please you for a little (some of them) but girls want guys to f**k them like they mean it, they want to feel like in ehaven when having sex, but some guys just don’t offer them that, so they try to do everything to turn guy on.
Lemon & Tequila
This song is about my favorite drink, a tequila and with lemon. It’s about drinking it, and having a blast, I literally just praise this drink in this song it’s like a drug for me. I can drink it everytime, even in the morning when I wake up, It’s my f**k, but now I try to resist it, because then I’ll turn a mess, and get into the fights. I mean look at Dolly, she should stop drinking shots, and tequila and brandy, girl needs to pick haself together, because your career will be as long as your last one.
Stripper
Yes, mah fave song on album, it’s my literal jam, I can work my ass while listening to it, even get on the pole just give me a pole and this song, and I’mma show you something special, because you know I can always show some love if you treat me like a lady, and love me like your muse, because that’s all what bad girls want, sex, money, and L.O.V.E, so write this down (laughs)
LOW LIFE
Song about my life, how I was poor, but then became a huge star from my life in small unknown island into the big stages of England, USA and the whole world (well except Antarctica) This shows my whole story, so I hope you will love this song, and always remember never give up on your dream, because it’s always possible you just have to do your best.
Ain’t Ready For It
Song about not being ready for famous life, paparazzi’s and spotlight. They always follow me, and I just want sometimes to lcok myself somewhere else from everybody and have some quite. I am a person also, so let me live my life, because well it’s mine #deal.
