• Master & Protégé Video Premieres: Usher “OMG” + Justin Bieber “Never Let You Go”

  03.30.10 | 2 Comments

  Today, March 30, Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond hits music outlets and to accompany the release of the album is the release of the music video for the album’s first international single, “OMG,” feat. Will.I.Am. The clip was directed by Anthony Mandler.

  From the get go with the black background and lasers the video reminds us of “Yeah.” Then there’s some split screen action with Will.I.Am and Usher doing their own little dance moves. The video further progresses into some studio sets, more cool lighting effects and some sexy choreography from the ladies donning all black. There’s even a 3D effect thrown in for fun.

  WATCH VIDEO HERE!

  Justin Bieber’s second single from My World 2.0, “Never Let You Go,” receives the video treatment. Like “Baby,” the video for “Never Let You Go” is set in a family friendly environment, an aquarium. If we didn’t know any better we’d think they shot the video over here, in The Bahamas. It’s a fun and appropriate video, check it out!

• Justin Bieber Feels the Same Way About Mariah Carey…

  03.24.10 | No Comments

  

  With news of Mariah Carey’s Angel’s Advocate remix album being shelved and the follow-up news that she is heading back into the studio to record a new studio album, most people think it’s best if she goes on a major hiatus to re-prioritize her music. Well current male Pop sensation, Justin Bieber, also had something to say about a possible duet with the diva, here’s how he replied:

  “I don’t love her new music, it’s not the same,” the Canadian pop singing sensation told The Sun. “It’s like Michael Jordan coming back out to play in the NBA. She is past her best.” [SOURCE]

  This boy has more sense than we give him credit for. Maybe he should have used some of that common sense to NOT take part in that “We Are the World” remake. Anyways, what Bieber said, 100 percent the truth. Mariah Carey may have been able to dish  out album after album, year after year, but that’s when she was fresh on the scene. After 2 decades of endless releases an artist should start to take longer breaks in between albums. She had about 20 years of pent up talent to release when her first album came out… Take a break, and let the talent rebuild itself.

• Who Does It Justice? Justin Bieber vs. Usher

  03.14.10 | 5 Comments

  

  Both Justin Bieber and Usher recorded a song entitled “Somebody to Love”; it was to appear on Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond but was scrapped and was later adopted by Bieber’s My World 2.0. So who does the song justice, the teenager or the adult?

  The production of this song is radio friendly; Bieber’s version is just mastered. Being completely honest, neither of them out do each other because both gents cut an enjoyable and listenable track for the radios. That’s just us, of course your opinions will vary.

• Drake, Avril, Furtado + More Canadians Cover K’Naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” For Haiti

  03.12.10 | No Comments

  

  The Americans redid “We Are the World” for Haiti and the British covered R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” so now the Canadians are making their own musical contribution to Haiti. Somali musician K’Naan has made quite an impact with his uplifting song “Wavin’ Flag” as it is the this 2010 theme song for the Fifa World Cup and now Canada’s choice for a song for Haiti.

  Nelly Furtado, Drake, Kardinal Offishall, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Fefe Dobson amongst many other Canadian artists sing and rap their hearts out for this international tune. From Drake’s solo rap verse and on, this song just gets to us.

  We’ve been following K’Naan ever since we heard “In the Beginning” on the Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay soundtrack. It’s a good feeling when all types of people can get into the same song, INTERNATIONAL: chills. Listen to the Canadian collab of “Wavin’ Flag” after…

• It Was Only a Matter Of Time: Justin Bieber Will Come to The Bahamas

  03.11.10 | No Comments

  

  We all know that if there is a Pop act for the children then the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island will recruit them for a concert. Well that will be the case as Justin Bieber will be in the country on June 12 for one of those concerts.

  Bieber’s label takes a page out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and is giving away 4 Golden Tickets to spend an all expense paid weekend with him in The Bahamas in June. The 4 Golden Tickets will be placed in Bieber’s My World 2.0 LP which hits stores on March 23. Good luck!

  For all you locals, we’re pretty sure the resort will be selling tickets to the event, probably $100-$200 a pop.

• The Guy You Love to Hate: It’s Justin Beeeeee-buuuuur

  03.02.10 | No Comments

  

  Young man who seems to have all the tweens and teens in a frenzy has his second single ready for launch. Justin Bieber’s second single will be the Bryan Michael Cox produced & Johntá Austin written “Never Let You Go.” The single is lifted from My World 2.0, out on March 23, 2010.

  Bieber reminds us so much of the late 90’s when mainstream manufactured pop ruled the scene. He receives so much flack for his “generic” music. Well it doesn’t bother us as much, yet. Besides we like the way he wears humility with the arrival of his bullet speed popularity.

• Justin Bieber Makes Catchy Music With Ludacris

  01.18.10 | 2 Comments

  

  Teen pop sensation, Justin Bieber, has been riding high on the radar with his mainstream success across the US market. You what they say: if the teen girls like it, it will be a major success… Here’s another item radios will like; a new song from Bieber entitled “Baby” and featuring Ludacris.

  When we first heard that Ludacris would be featured on a Justin Bieber song we questioned what in the world would Ludacris rap about with him being on such a young person’s single. Of course, Luda keeps it Rated G whilst maintaining his signature spunk. Justin Bieber has talent and although he may annoy a lot of us older music listeners there’s no denying that his songs are catchy as a…
