Pop Goes the Music

This and That

wildangels — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:24:00 GMT

Well, after a delay and a change in record labels, we finally get a taste of what to expect from Alexz Johnson's solo disc. I'd say my favorites are swallowed and golden both musically and vocally. Lyrically, I can't tell until I see some official lyrics...

Battle of the Divas!

wildangels — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:20:00 GMT

So, you may remember before I mentioned Alexz Johnson of Instant Star and how she's going to be releasing an album sometime soon. Well, recently I bought a song from the show called "Love to Burn" off Amazon. While Alexz...

So, she really did it...

wildangels — Thu, 08 May 2008 22:55:00 GMT

After about a week of rumors and statements from family and others involved, Mariah and Nick themselves confirmed their marriage during an interview. I'm a bit surprised that she made this move, especially talking wanting kids. Wasn't she just going on a...

Going Back..... Again.

wildangels — Wed, 07 May 2008 23:59:00 GMT

Here’s a blast from the past. Blondie is going to re-release their album Parallel Lines and go on a tour. Why you ask? Why, to celebrate it’s 30th anniversary. Check out the yahoo story and to see where they’re going to appear on tour. ...

Musical History Lesson and Vanessa Pulls a Gretchen

wildangels — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:53:00 GMT

Imagine my surprise when I checked out the VH1 Rock Clock and found out the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is only 11 years old. I could've sworn it's been airing longer than that. The BeeGees and Jackson 5 were among the first inductees. Check out who ...

Amy's Bowing Out and Kanye's Talking Crap...

wildangels — Tue, 06 May 2008 01:10:00 GMT

Apparently, Amy Winehouse has decided she's not going to be doing a Bond theme after all. Figures... I thought as much with all the drama going on. By the way... is it just me, or is there something just a little creepy about her producer? There are time...

There's good news and not-so-good news today....

Embarrassment Overload

wildangels — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 23:29:00 GMT

Looks like Miley Cyrus isn't the only one looking a bit red right now. Depsite all the publicity Ashlee Simpson has been drumming up with her engagement and coy non-answers to the preganancy questions, she has yet to score a hit single off her new album....

And so it begins...

wildangels — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 23:15:00 GMT

According to the Pulse boards, Kelly Clarkson may have her first single from a new album out soon. Make sense, as the album is supposed to be out later this year. I'm excited to hear what she's come up with now that Clive isn't in the picture anymore. I ...

Want a "peace" of music history?

Now's your chance. A copy of the lyrics to John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" is on sale. Talk about a collector's item! All I have to say this... that was one lucky girl to be given those. The lyrics and photos are gonna set her up for life. ...

Mariah Carey E=MC2 Review

wildangels — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:13:00 GMT

So, as promised, here is my review of Mariah Carey’s E=MC2. As I said before, this is a really good disc and it’s exactly what I’d been hoping to hear from her. She’s showing off her vocals more than she had in some songs recentl...

A little news....

wildangels — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 01:57:00 GMT

Hey, all! Just wanted to stop in real quick and fill you in on Emilio's progress for any Tejano fans out there. According to Yahoo!, he was moved to a rehab facility and is now beginning the next phase of his recovery. They still don't know if the accide...

The Wait is STILL On....

wildangels — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 01:49:00 GMT

If you're an 80's metal fan who was looking forward to Chinese Democracy finally getting release, you're in for some bad news. According to yahoo, there is no release date still and they're currently negotiating a release. After all this time, this bette...

wildangels — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:59:00 GMT

Well, I'm a bit pressed for time right now, but I wanted to check in and say that I just got the new Mimi album (along with The Emancipation of Mimi). I'm loving it! I'll post a more detailed review later, but suffice it to say that this is the CD I was ...

Good news for Kelly fans!

wildangels — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 01:23:00 GMT

Maybe... according to yahoo!news, a new guy will be taking Clive Davis' job at Sony/BMG. Clive still has a position with the company, but most speculation out there says this may mean less power for him. I'm hoping that is true and Kelly gets to do anoth...

Wow....

wildangels — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:14:00 GMT

I go away for the day and Dada has completely changed! I see they are now offering mp3s and videos as well. I don't have a traditional cell phone service, so I don't even know if I can get these downloads. I do love, though, how it looks like I'll be abl...

Idol Gave Back...

wildangels — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 22:58:00 GMT

Yes, I know.... Idol is kinda cheesy and I usually avoid it. When you get Dolly or some of the people on the special last night involved, though? I'm there. Last night, they had some of my all time favorite people there: Carrie Underwood, Annie Lennox, F...

Inspiration...

wildangels — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 23:59:00 GMT

It's really strange, what can inspire a post here. I was browsing a message board on Television Without Pity and saw an Unsolved Mysteries topic. I used to love that show, and one of the sadder cases I saw on that show was about a kid named Katherine Kor...

Another Milli Vanilli? and Mimi's got a new song!

wildangels — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:16:00 GMT

Those who discovered Paula Abdul through American Idol might not remember that she was once accused of pulling a Milli Vanilli. My grandmother used to love buying the tabloids and occasionally she'd show me a story about people I liked. Well, one was abo...

Mimi Review...

wildangels — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 00:22:00 GMT

This one one of the best write-ups I have seen about Mariah's new CD. While I have been kinda leaning towards wanting to get it, this actually really makes me excited about the release. It sounds like it's gonna be a great disc. Based on this, I think I ...

Who Knew?

wildangels — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:59:00 GMT

After 2 outright refused to do a reunion when VH1 asked, one said "only on our terms" and one was only down with it cause of his brother, the New Kids really are reuniting. Now the question is... do we really want to see the 40-year-old "k...

Mariah's (almost) the Champ!

wildangels — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 23:59:00 GMT

According to Yahoo!news, Mariah Carey just beat Elvis' number #1s record and is now in second place behind the Beatles. Good for her! I loved her reaction in the story, too. She didn't seem to make a huge deal about herself and knows she hasn't been quit...

Selena

wildangels — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:14:00 GMT

It's hard to believe it's been exactly 13 years since Selena was murdered by Yolanda Saldivar. Boy, time flies. I was reminded by the fact one of the Spanish networks here was playing a new documentary/performance special about her. Basically, it featur...

wildangels — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 22:32:00 GMT

I was reading VH1's Rock Clock and was surprised to learn it's been over 4 years since the big to-do over Janet's Super Bowl performance. It really doesn't seem like it's been that long. According to them, back on this day in 2004, Janet was st...

A Little of Everything

wildangels — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:59:00 GMT

It seems like a lot of my childhood is getting defiled lately. Most of it, I think is pretty funny- like the Robot Chicken sketches about You Can’t Do That on Television, Care Bears and the Smurfs, This one? Not so funny. Sambora needs a serious ki...

wildangels — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:34:00 GMT

Since Mariah is releasing "Touch My Body" on Itunes today, I thought I'd talk about some of my favorite Mariah songs. "Vision of Love" is the first one that comes to mind for me. It was the first single and the first video of hers I e...

wildangels — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 23:23:00 GMT

Lawsuits are nothing new in music and it appears more have just been settled. Both the Beach Boys and Motley Crue have been involved in lawsuits regarding name rights and other issues. Music is a hard business, y'all. By the way, speaking of Motley Crue,...

Making History

wildangels — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:37:00 GMT

I usually stay away from the VH1 and MTV sites since I have very little interest in hte networks and many of their news stories have to do with random celebrities and reality shows/movies. Still, I ended up browsing VH1's site today and found something k...

Guilty Pleasures... Yes, I'm admitting one!

wildangels — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 20:16:00 GMT

You all know you have one. A song or artist that you like but are too embarrassed to admit it. A guilty pleasure. For the rest of this week, I’ll be talking about some of my guilty pleasures and I hope you guys will post comments about yours. I pro...
