Taylor Swift Surprise Surprise Video Performance transmission at the Jingle Bell Ball
Taylor Swift Performed a surprise performance at the Jingle Bell Ball in London. She did perform live, but it was a transmission of a performance Taylor performed live at the same time because she is in the US at the moment. She sang from a TV studio in Nashville 2 of her songs. She sang first "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" from her album "Red". She wore a stripped black and white top with red high waisted shorts. She sang the song with her band just going all around the small stage enjoying herself. Taylor then got a Santa claus outfit with a skirt and the red parts in it, were covered in sparkles. The lights on the stage all turned off except one, leaving Taylor on the spotlight. She sang her new single "Moonlight". The performance was energetic and beautiful. The crowd in London loved the surprise performance.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond; I haven't been checking ATRL as often lately because the server has gone to sh*t again. I'll be more active once it's stable.

Christina took Times Square by a storm! Performs 5 songs
The Legendary singer, performed today in Times Square in the middle of 600.000 Fighters who came to see the Charity concert.
The setlist began with The Voice Within. The artist sang the song by standing on a piano (where A Great Big World could be seen) and slaying careers with her flawless vocals.
After this, suddenly, Beautiful started. She brought a gay couple on stage and gave them a pillow in shape of a heart.
Then, she brought the 3 lucky fans on stage where she stayed to talk with them and she had a speech after this where she said that she is so happy to have this project that will inspire the little kids.
The next song was Army Of Me. She said before starting this song that we all are our own fighters and that we have to build our own army.
The second to last song was of course her newest single from her yet untitled album: "Freedom". She performed again on a higher platform and she also danced up there.
Then, she went back on the ground and started to sing her hit single Fighter. The performance was amazing as she was in a cage and she tried to escape, but it was really hard for her to do it. She did it in the end.
The fans got some "I Am A Fighter" T-shirts for free.

Céline Dion: BBC Radio 2 Interivew + Performance
Host: We are back to the program where we have Céline Dion in the studio with us, good afternoon Céline.
Céline: Good afternoon!
Host: That was quite a show you put on in Hyde Park last night.
Céline: Yeah.
Host: Well congratulations on a fabulous performance and for the massive ratings that you’ve accomplished.
Céline: Thank you so much!
Host: My personal favorite, was your cover of “Circus” by Britney Spears, I absolutely loved it and I thought you did a phenomenal job singing.
Céline: Thanks, “Circus” was definitely one of the songs I was more excited to perform last night and I’m just so happy we had a large crowd and the atmosphere was just so carefree and positive — it was really amazing.
Host: Did you watch your performances back?
Céline: Yes, I did watch my show back this morning and I thought it was a good show.
Host: Which performance was your favorite?
Céline: I’d have to say “Ratchette.” I just love performing the song and I really looked badass out there so that was of course very cool!
Host: Now… the critics reviewed your performances and the scores got put out last night — they didn’t seem to be too high. Why?
Céline: Well you know critics will be critics and have their own “professional” and “proper” point of view on what I’ll do at my shows. Most of the scores were around 60/100 and I don’t really mind because at the end of the day I’m not making music for the critics, I’m making the music for the people who want to listen to it.
Host: You actually stuck your middle finger up at the critics during one of the songs — why?
Céline: I don’t really know actually, it’s just something that I felt like doing.
Host: Do you think that could be a reason why they got mad?
Céline: I mean I don’t know, I pulled off a man’s tie sexually and he found it hilarious so I’m not 100% sure of what the critics are supposed to think. I just tried making my concert fun and hilarious and if that’s not what the critics want then oh well, nothing I can do about that.
Host: There was also an article on Billboard last night about you, did you get the chance to read?
Céline: No, I actually haven’t. Don’t tell me they hated my concert too haha!
Host: It was actually an article about your comeback.
Céline: Oh, that’s cool!
Host: The title is - “Céline Back To Get Turnt Up.” It talks about your return and a prediction about your new single “Ratchette.”
Céline: Well what’s the prediction?
Host: The prediction is around 270k - 290k. What’s your thoughts?
Céline: Seems accurate to me, I mean you want me to tell you I think I’ll debut at #3 with 500.000 copies. Yeah… OK!
Host: You’ve got quite the sense of humor! Alright folks, we’ll be back with Céline Dion but here’s “Freedom” the new single by Christina Aguilera!
*Plays Freedom*
Host: And we’re back with Céline Dion, and that was “Freedom” by Christina Aguilera!
Céline: Love that song!
Host: So Céline, tell us what was it like making this record?
Céline: Making ‘#TurntUp’ was a completely new experience for me. Obviously I’ve never done any Urban or crossover tracks before so entering this genre took some time, but I’m back and I have a really good feeling about this album!
Host: What is your personal favorite song on the album?
Céline: I love them all so much, but one of the tracks I was actually listening to was “Boss Chicque” this morning and I absolutely love it.
Host: What is “Boss Chicque” about?
Céline: It’s definitely an empowerment song that’s very fun, sheik and expensive feeling. I think anyone who listens to it will feel like a million bucks, it’s just such a cool song.
Host: Well I’m sure the world cannot wait to hear it along with the rest of your album! When’s the album out?
Céline: Well the album is getting pushed up a few weeks, so it should be released sooner than most people think — but definitely not until next year.
Host: Have you decided all the marketing strategies and such yet?
Céline: Yes! The singles are already selected and we’ve planned to go promote in America and Mexico next week.
Host: Sounds exciting! Well we definitely miss you here in the UK and I’m sure many fans are sad you won’t be able to perform on TV shows for us right now.
Céline: Me too, definitely. But I mean this era still has a ton to go so I’ll be back for sure! I’ll definitely be back for more here in the UK so I look forward to it for sure!
Host: Alright, we’ll take a quick break and we’ll be back when we say goodbye to Céline after she performs a stripped down version of her new single “Ratchette.” Here is “Dolla Dolla” from Neon Hitch.
*Plays Dolla Dolla*
Host: Ok, we’re back and before we say goodbye to Céline Dion she’s got the exclusive acoustic performance of “Ratchette” right here on BBC Radio 2!
Céline was in the recording booth while one drummer had a bucket and there was a pianist and one acoustic guitar player. Bangs of the bucket started the performance was some guitar chords began to build up to Céline’s opening lyrics. She began to sing with forceful, flexible vocals as the piano joined in for the pre-chorus. There was a pause, and the instruments began to bang in hard as Céline tore the chorus apart. The rest of the song was entertaining as a very creative and different arrangement was playing over Céline’s triumphant vocals and light Barbara playback for the ad-libs. Céline finished her performance with a giggle and a “thank you.”
Host: That was incredible, Céline Dion everybody! Thank you so much for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!
Céline: Bye!
Host: Alright “Ratchette” is available on iTunes now and you can catch Céline this week on many more places right here in London!

LA Times Reviews Céline's Hyde Park Concert
57/100
Céline Dion proves to be none other than attention seeking, disorganized and mediocre with her surprise free Hyde Park Concert Sunday afternoon. With little moments of magic, Céline fails to deliver a groundbreaking cover performance or a performance of any of her songs. Although the spectators did not leave with complains, we did. Just thank God this was free…
Miley Cyrus Tribute: The Miley Cyrus tribute was very nice of Céline, however not nice for young viewers out there in the UK. Her vocals were mediocre, as Miley’s version is clearly the winner. The performance of “Turnt Up” was one example of how Céline aspires a bit too much to follow Urban Miley’s footsteps. The drinking of the beer, the smoking and the low amount of clothing was not appealing, nor original.
The First Time (Ever I Saw Your Face): Thank Jesus that Céline was here to also perform some of her older material. The selection was genius, considering the track hit #16 in the UK years ago and was a respected hit. Her vocals proved to be nice, but not close to the old vocals she would serve in the 1990s and 2000s. The only issue is - why would you perform such a beauty after a song called “Turnt Up”?
Adele Cover: This performance was our personal favorite of the night. Earlier this year, a magazine created a rumor of Céline being pregnant with twins — which Céline fired back on Twitter months ago. However, she was NOT done yet. She continued to fire back at critical hated (although we are giving her tons in this article) and served fantastic vocals. A spot-on performance with the same flare Adele reflected from the track.
Avril Lavigne Cover: Warning — Céline Dion is a horny, unprofessional and try-hard mess. The opening of this second act to the concert was just a flat out mess. Céline Dion attempts to have dry sex with Hello Kitty dolls, serving as yet ANOTHER example for why her concert was tragic. Sorry Avril… I’m sure Céline didn’t mean to wreck your song THAT much.
Ke$ha Cover: The “Blow” performance truly has one word to describe — unoriginal. The performance was a full-on copycat of Ke$ha and Céline could not even out-sing her. We’re not here to attend a Female-Pop compilation of tributes, we’re here for innovative and original material.
Danity Kane Tribute: Well here Céline was allowed to act 95% like Danity Kane considering it is a “tribute.” The vocals in this performance were not manic at all, nor impressive. The choreography in this performance was probably executed the best, but was truly just a filler performance in our eyes. Yawn…
Britney Spears Cover: THANK YOU! We were starting to fall asleep for a minute, Céline! The “Circus” cover provided high-class entertainment, although Céline chained back-up dancers and slid down a pole to get to the stage floor. The choreography was great, the vocals peaked during this performance and the level of energy from Céline was actually radiating here instead of repelling. Good job finding your way back!
Lady Gaga Cover: Céline expressed her runway sense and unique personality in the “Fashion” cover, making this performance another good point of the night. The vocals were great, the production seemed just right — until Céline started crying. Like - what is your point for crying? Another attention seeking antic. Bye.
My Heart Will Go On: Save the show while you can sister!
Kelis Cover: Ok Céline, you’re talented but I don’t really think your “Milkshake” brings the critics to the yard. Just another typical Céline Dion performance, nothing special here.
Ratchette: A fine ending to a partially horrific night. Well it is her own song in fact… do what you want Céline… just keep doing what you want.

I haven't got around to shooting it yet, and I don't plan on releasing it asap, or making it the first, cause I'm pretty sure Rihanna's new single has one, right?  It'll probably be in a club where the dollas fly if you know what I mean

Even top 40, at this point would be a accomplishment 
It's not like I want to flop, and hopefully I won't 
Kidding, I like all the singles, really, some of them should consider hitting me up for songwriting, who doesn't like songwriting?
