Vivica Fox, Megan Good, Jordin Sparks and Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson are also considered for the role, and since Hudson already sang a Houston’s song at the Grammys, she may have the lead.

It runs its course with a terrific set piece in a PR nightclub, a good freak out on acid (“We’ve got to get more” mutters Depp -who, by the way, sounds a lot like Popeye) and the chick is a little knockout. But as daydreams go, this one ain’t that hot.

Dreaming of New England? Country gal from the East Coast goes in search of the perfect guy and finds a modern day John Travelota who looks just like Keith richards or something. Pretty smart song.

A rock tune stripped down acoustic. Although, I do feel he sounds alot like Tracy Chapman in the ‘Fast Cars’ era, I can not dispute that this man has a great voice. I think its the interpretation and pauses in the lyric that take a rather overdone tune and totally revamp it.

Shallowness, and sentimentalism should be avoided in art,… ‘Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail’ said Jean Cocteau, and Adele’s songs are exactly that, sentimental blackmail.

It has that 80’s sort of thump, which could be why I appreciate it. A touch of nostalgia is never a bad thing. A female vocal must always be distinct and run a very fine line between tough and trash, girly and saccharine. This song is just that and it really is well done

Everything i’ve heard off the new Estelle is first rate and the new Regina places her firmly at the top of the heap, again. She may never be cute and quirky again, but the slightness of her depth is a wonder…

There appears to be a world of indie folk bands hovering in the netherlands of the public consciousness. They sell out a night at MHOW while I’m trying to figure out who they hell they are. White hinterland are one of the many and I like em fine, this is a beautiful mood piece and worth a listen. From 2010 so they should be back round soon.

Lead off song “Following” just made my best of 2012 list and while the rest of this 80s style disco album by a coupla DJs isn’t as good, it is plenty good enough. The second song, “The Right One” takes off from that perfect pre-teen Vampire movie “Let The Right One In” and, amazingly, does it justice. The album sags a little after, but never too far. Grade: B+

Six Grammys later, the surprise is that there is any one left in England who doesn’t own the blasted record

The first singles chart in years continues to be staggerringly bad. Gottye is the most boring fellow on the charts, a drear makle Adele who I am sure will be very big with the modern equivalent Adult Oriented Rock.

Off the Vespertine Live album, but much much better Saturday night, where a devastating vocal made it the one to beat. Bjork seems to sound better the starker she gets. She overestimates what she is getting from technology

Between his kind-of-strange and agitated songs, Kasher was drinking tea and talking to the audience, doing an improvised Q&A in the middle of the set, talking about preferring not wearing pants, embarking on some funny rants about very old times and a great movie with pant-less characters,

There’s been a lot of hype over Katy Perry’s recently released single “Part of Me”. The song is part of the deluxe reissue of Perry’s album Teenage Dream which did fairly well; in fact it’s sold an estimated 5.5 million copies worldwide.

Each of the bands are from the Midwest, thus the tour name. Each of the bands peaked 35 years ago..thus the sarcasm. Not a big fan of Mr Wango Tango, he went slightly mad with the whole hunting thing. OK OK it’s your hobby get on with it freak.

$500 for these guys to play? I tell you what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna pay em the bucks and have em serenade me in the office!!! They can be like Cyndi Lauper in the that Lotterry commercial. How cool would that be? Like a pocketsize Fleetwood Mac!!!!

he had the entire room moving and grooving for his entire set. “Who is this guy? He rocks!!!” was a common phrase out of concert-goers mouths after his set.

The Gorillaz are a band I want to love. They invite Clash members, Andre 3000, James Murphy, hell all the cool folk. Yet everything they do- with anyone they do it….sounds exactly the same.
