From all my ranting about Mariah Carey lately, one could easily deduce that I don’t like her. Not true. I really like her. It’s just like when someone you genuinely like and respect does something stupid and the only way you could prove to them you’re a true friend or in this case a true fan is to tell them the truth. Don’t we all just rather have a friend tell us there’s a piece of chicken in between our teeth than have that someone talk and laugh about it with other people behind our backs? Yes, that’s the …read more

Did you watch Josh Groban at the 2008 Primetime Emmy’s last night? Wasn’t he fabulous? To the people who didn’t, Josh Groban sang a medley of snippets from various TV theme songs.
What was so fun about it was how he performed so animatedly. He didn’t sing like his usual soothing, uplifting, “move mountains” way. He was the playful side of Josh Groban.
I mean he had to be, South Park and The Simpson’s were among the theme songs he had to tackle. And he did so brilliantly. Josh also rapped his way to Fresh Prince Bel-Air’s …read more

Charice Pempengco is the Filipina teenage sensation who was burning the YouTube sites  when she was just 13 yrs old with her million hits in all her videos which were posted by people who were nice enough to share the amazing talent they’ve just discovered.

Eric Hutchinson shines with a unique brand of pop-soul on his debut album, Sounds Like This. Although the charismatic singer/ songwriter has been favorably compared to his early idols (Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Paul Simon), one of the most remarkable things about Sounds Like This is the sheer breadth of musical styles that Hutchinson effortlessly encompasses.
The record was released on Hutchinson’s own label, Let’s Break Records, at the end of August 2007 and overnight it was breaking records. One of his buddies emailed celebrity blogger Perez Hilton a link to his MySpace page, and Hilton …read more
