Nicki Minaj Channels “Marilyn Monroe” On New Track

nicki-minaj-marilyn-monroeNicki Minaj spent the past year more or less conquering the world (a rise punctuated by a Super Bowl performance with Madonna today). But on the new “Marilyn Monroe” (actual recording date as yet unknown), Nicki confides that she’s still battling insecurity and self-doubt. Is this her secret audition to take Katy Perry’s place on Broadway? (Or not.) Go blonde with Nicki below.

“Just call me blessed / If you can’t handle my worst / You ain’t getting my best / Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt?” she asks.

There’s speculation this track — in which Nicki stretches her vocals over a shimmery piano line — is from the upcoming Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, but there’s no conclusive evidence one way or the other just yet. In any case, it’s an unusually confessional look from Nicki, and we’re curious to see how much of herself she reveals in her new music.

Is Nicki the new Marilyn Monroe (and would Madonna have anything to say about that)? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.

Whatcha Say: Madonna’s Video And ‘The X Factor’ Got Our Readers Talking

Whatcha-Say-mainMadonna made sure she is all anyone is talking about this week, whether it was expressing her worth as a live performer, answering journalists’ stupid questions, or revealing her new video “Give Me All Your Luvin’“. But there was still plenty else going on — who did not get any luvin’ this week was Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, who were unceremoniously 86′d from The X Factor, or Taylor Swift, whose exit from the Les Miserables cast did not leave many people weeping in despair. See what all the buzz was about in this week’s reader comments.

GiveMeAllYourLuvin:: Sean commented on the preview of Madonna’s new music video saying: “I love it. Fun as hell. People complain when Madonna is too serious and they complain when she’s fun like this. I love both sides to her, incredible artist and this song sounds nothing like all the generic David Guetta wannabe dance songs on the radio. I hope it does well b/c Madonna is def missed on the radio and will always be the Queen.”

:: Stating he “totally agrees with all that Sean said above”, Dustin Farmer adds: “Glad that Madonna is back and I am loving this song! I’m always curious to see what Madge is going to come up with. This video is pure fun and anyone hating on it is obviously a negative nancy.”

:: This song had the opposite effect on Sahil who thinks: “It is stupid.”

:: Kerry couldn’t believe the news that Paula was fired from The X Factor: “This is just a rumor though right? It hasn’t been confirmed?” (Sorry, Kerry. It’s true.)

:: John didn’t jump to blaming Simon for the firings: “I bet Simon had nothing to do with this. Since the show has already been renewed for 2012, Fox probably stepped in and did what they felt they had to, especially since the show didn’t generate the ratings that Cowell wanted it to.”

:: Isaac Mitchell is partial to the slew of pink slips: “Bad Mistake to let Paula go, Nicole was a good decision and Steve the host, but not Paula! Xfactor will pay for this in the future!”

Taylor-Swift-Wallpapers-2011-2:: Speaking of The X Factor, MusicManDave loved Melanie Amaro’s new song “Respect”: “Hot Hot Hot. Melanie has the chops man!”

:: Salatiell Junior is supportive of Melanie, too, though he didn’t love her single: “This song is not that bad, but too repetitive for me. I think she’ll grow and better songs will come!”

:: Jessica on the other hand, has a different opinion by asking: “What THE HECK?”

:: With Taylor Swift not cast in the Les Miserables movie, Aarron can save his money to see TSwift in concert: “Well at least I dont have to see this movie anymore, more money for me! Would have seen this just for Taylor now its just another musical movie.”

:: Lily Tabolt was rather overjoyed that the pop star was no longer attached to the musical: “THANK GOD IN HEAVEN!!!!!! Taylor Swift would have been terrible in this role! Almost as bad as Joe Jonas in the above video!”

:: Nick also agreed, and suggested who he would like to see in the movie: “THANK GOD! I would never see a film version of ‘Les Mis’ with Taylor Swift’s rat-like mug stinking up the screen… Although I would have loved to see Lea Michele on the project, ANYONE is better than TaySwift.”

Melanie Amaro Turns Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” Into A Club Jam

melanie-amaro-respect

With most of the recent news surrounding The X Factor having to do with the pink slip parade unleashed upon half its on-air talent, we almost forgot about the woman who actually won the competition, Melanie Amaro. The singer, who is signed to judge LA Reid’s Epic Records, has a new single out, “Respect”, which samples Aretha Franklin’s classic song with an additional dancefloor beat and an overdose of synths. Listen to it below.

Melanie Amaro – “Respect”

This is actually better than we expected. The typical debut single from an American Idol winner is something sappy, inspirational, and ballady. This is none of those things, shelving any sort of “This Is My Moment” emotion in favor of pure club euphoria. Sure, the tune could have maybe, I dunno, a verse or two, or stick to just sampling Aretha’s song instead of making it the entire draw. But still — it’s peppy, and doesn’t cause us any second hand embarrassment.

Melanie’s single will appear in her upcoming Super Bowl ad for Pepsi, which features Elton John. The singer discussed the concept of the ad with Entertainment Weekly:

I’m a singing princess warrior. [Laughs] And me being the singing princess warrior, I have to try to get the entire kingdom some of the sacred treasure, and the sacred treasure is, of course, Pepsi. I have to go through the talent part of the being in front of the king at his court [to get the treasure], and my talent was, of course, to sing. So I sing, I blow his mind, and I get everybody to have some of the Pepsi. I don’t think I’m going to tell you any more than that. I think I’ll let everybody wait until they see the commercial, because there’s some special surprise guests in there that I think everybody is going to enjoy.

Is Melanie Amaro’s single worthy of your respect? Let us know what you think on Facebook, Twitter, or in the comments below.

OK Go Appear In Chevy Sonic’s Super Bowl Commercial (But Their Music Doesn’t)

ok go chevy super bowlIt’s may be a bit confusing why OK Go agreed to appear in a Chevy Sonic Super Bowl commercial without one of their own songs playing in the ad — the track featured in the below commercial (with a Chevy Sonic performing “100% real stunts”!) is .fun’s “We Are Young”. But it makes more sense when you consider that most of the band’s footage comes from their upcoming video for “Needing/Getting”, which also features a Chevy Sonic. And we’ve officially said the words Chevy Sonic three (now four!) times in this single post, not even including in the headline. Well done, marketing geniuses at Chevrolet.

Taylor Swift Not Cast In ‘Les Miserables’ After All

Taylor-Swift-Wallpapers-2011-2Most of you agreed with us that Taylor Swift would be extremely miscast playing Eponine in the upcoming film adaptation of Les Miserables. But it appears that the country singer was either replaced, or perhaps never even accepted the role. Broadway World reports that British actress Samantha Barks will be playing Eponine instead of Swift in the movie musical. Banks previously played the role last year in the West End production, as well as during the 25th Anniversary Concert filmed at the O2. See Samantha’s perform “A Little Fall Of Rain” alongside Nick Jonas below, and tell us if Taylor would have done a better job with the song. (We’ll save you some time: she wouldn’t of.)

Congrats, Samantha! You may just be Hollywood’s newest It Girl!

Madonna talks about M.D.N.A.

ca5bbb02cc0e8f7a899963ecde7f6e86 Madonna talks about M.D.N.A.

Madonna’s set to unleash her newest album M.D.N.A., and as expected rabid Madonna fans are already all over the two tracks she has released of her album – “Gimme All Your Luvin” and “Masterpiece.”

The legendary icon recently talked about her hotly anticipated album. Madonna said that most of the album is going to be “action-packed” and “more high energy.” Gimme All Your Luvin is the uptempo sample from the album, while Masterpiece, is “more reflective”, according to Madge.

M.D.N.A. has no official release date yet but if rumors are to be believed, we can expect to see the album in stores around March this year.

Madonna’s taking the media by storm this month as she works double time to drum up publicity on her album and ultimately to herself. One of her most anticipated appearances will be during the Superbowl when she performs during halftime. Her feud with Elton John is also helping her out. John’s been taking potshots at her the past few weeks and I think Madonna, the media savvy person that she is, is appreciating the fight. If I were her I’ll egg Elton John some more.

Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’” Single Art, Video Premiere Date Revealed

Madonna Give Me All Your LuvinMadonna really is making a bid for all of our luvin’! In addition to her Oscar-nominated directorial W.E. hitting theaters this coming Friday (February 3), the Material Girl has several other treats in store for fans over the next week, all of which will lead up to her February 5 Super Bowl halftime performance. Mainly, our ears will finally be privvy to her lead MDNA single, “Give Me All Your Luvin’”, which will be made available on iTunes on Friday. Added bonus: that’s the same day the song’s video premieres in full.

Ahead of that, a preview of the video for Madonna’s Nicki Minaj- and M.I.A.-featuring single will air during Thursday night’s episode of American Idol.

A press release issued today notes that “Give Me All Your Luvin’” was co-written by Madonna, Martin Solveig, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. (talk about “M” DNA!), and the single was co-produced by Solveig and Madonna. Here’s hoping it goes on to join the legion of Madge’s best-known jams, and doesn’t become one of those that time has forgot.

Meanwhile, speaking of Madonna’s 12th studio album MDNA, it finally has a release date: March 26. The press release notes that iTunes will offer an exclusive global pre-order of an 18 track Deluxe Edition of MDNA, including one exclusive remix from Madonna’s new album. The bonus remix will be available from Friday, February 3rd through Monday, February 6th.

Producers on the LP include Solveig, William Orbit, The Demolition Crew, Marco “Benny” Benassi and Alessandro “Alle” Benassi, Hardy “Indiigo” Muanza, Michael Malih and, of course, Madonna. We’re just happy to see Orbit and M back in the saddle together again, since they previously crafted some of her best work to date.

Oh, and by the way, Madonna, excellent single cover art. You look beautiful here (as usual), and we love — er, make that luv — seeing you fun and playful, not rough and sex-crazed, like on the Hard Candy cover.

Are you excited for the new era of Her Madgesty, pop fans?

Sarah Jessica Parker Replaces Demi Moore in Lovelace

6c49f6010e197707a917ad34e4c7978c Sarah Jessica Parker Replaces Demi Moore in Lovelace

Demi Moore recently got in the news a few months after her much publicized separation from Ashton Kutcher. Moore was apparently so affected by all the negative things in her life that she was recently admitted to a rehab center due to exhaustion. This meant, of course, that she had to bow out of the project she’s supposed to participate in, the Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace.

One person’s misfortune is another one’s opportunity, so getting the juicy role of feminist Gloria Steinem that Demi Moore is so play is Sarah Jessica Parker. The Sex and The City star will be replacing Demi. The choice is actually a good one. Not put Demi further down, but Parker is the better actress. It will be great to see how Parker will channel Steinem in the movie.

We wish Demi Moore the best of luck and hope she gets better soon.

Tom Cruise Brings Suri To Disneyland

1749773bf749403b9d413b74f008484e Tom Cruise Brings Suri To Disneyland

Tom Cruise may still be feeling the effects of his crazy phase but it’s good to see that he’s still unfazed by the effects of his image going south and just figuratively let his hair down and be a normal dude for once.

He definitely showed that side of him to the public when he went out with his adorable daughter Suri for a fun afternoon at Disneyland in California.

Cruise, who was comfortably dressed, walked holding Suri’s hand. Suri, who is constantly being referred to as the best dressed child in the world, was on form as well – wearing  pink and white polka dot sweater on top of a purple dress. She was obviously having fun, as she walked around with face paint on her.

Tom Cruise is probably spending a lot of quality time with Suri as this will be the only free time left to him before he goes back to work promoting Rock of Ages, his new movie. For those of you who still don’t know what the movie’s about, let’s just say it’s a rock musical with a really vibe. This is going to be our first time to see Cruise perform in a movie of this type so it should be worth watching out for.
