Written By Phillip Mottaz Dedicated to those songs that I can't stop playing, humming, or thinking about; the 4+ minutes you fall head-over-heels in love with. Past instances have included AC/DC's "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation," Beyonce's "Single Ladies," and Outkast's "Dracula's Wedding." I want to start this one off by correcting myself twice. First off, for all his work and help on the column, I should have pimped out my friend's entertaining and insightful blog FilmChris.com . [...]
Girls Aloud , the most successful British girlband ever, had quite surprisingly never received the honours of the almighty BRITS... until tonight! The bitches stole the show AND won the much-wanted "British single" award for their huge hit The Promise . Congrats ladies. Nice feathers. Now please give them back to the Spice Girls, we know you stole them from their 2007/08 comeback tour... The Spice Girls performing 2 Become 1 on tour vs. Girls Aloud's BRITS performance [...]
Being called The Beatles of this or the Led Zeppelin of that or the U2 of whatever would be a true honor. Not everyone is so lucky.
Back when Alex James was running a record label with Joe Strummer and Damien Hirst, he had a look at Coldplay, and decided not to sign them. That makes sense. Not to Gordon, though , who confuses this with an error: THERE are dozens of ex-music bosses around the country drowning their sorrows in the boozer over how they "almost" signed a huge band. [...] Now ALEX JAMES from BLUR has revealed he is in the bungling music bigwig's club for failing to sign COLDPLAY when he had a record label for a short time in [...]
Here is a great video of the Spice Girls performing Don't Go Breaking My Heart with Elton John . I am not really sure where of when this is from, I just stumbled upon it... Either way it's a performance I am sure you'll enjoy and maybe even remember :)
Taking into account the current sales, the chances of Girls Aloud hitting the Top Ten with "The Loving Kind" are now dangerously slim, with the single resting at a shaky #10 in the midweeks. A failure to hit the Top Ten would end the Aloud's record-breaking single run at the top of the charts, surpassing the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child . When words fail in these tenuous times, only human emotion can suffice. My thoughts exactly, Sarah Harding. [...]
Two babies, "Dancing With The Stars" and a reunion world tour later, Spice Girl Mel B has never been in better shape, which is why Rhino Entertainment is happy to present Totally Fit , Mel's first-ever workout video on February 3rd! Who better to get workout tips from than one of the world's most recognizable pop stars and lingerie model? Exactly. Mel's presentation is fun, inspirational, motivating (she is a Spice Girl!) and presents the secrets to her success to anyone who wants to change both their lives and bodies, including [...]
There have been rumors abound regarding who's in and who's out in terms of the choreography for Britney 's latest tour, The Circus: Starring Britney Spears . Frankly, I'm not positive where Wade Robson and Andre Fuentes stand in terms of their involvement in the project. What I do know for certain is that Jamie King has been announced as the official musical director. He's been in charge of B's ...Oops! I Did It Again Tour, the Spice Girls [...]
Yesterday's Guardian G2 supplement raised its hat - its stylish, fashion forward hat - to Victoria Beckham. In a curious departure from the usual layout, the shortcuts stuff was booted off deeper in the magazine to clear page two and three for a celebration of Beckham, and her style : The making of an icon Two years ago, she couldn't get a ticket to a fashion show. Now style insiders are queuing up to buy her clothes. How did that happen? By Hadley Freeman How indeed? Perhaps that 2006 book Beckham had published under her [...]
![Bon Jovi Gets It Done On The Road [What Exit?]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1401636_lg.jpg)
The numbers for the year's biggest tours are in, and it looks like Bon Jovi's country-tinged Lost Highway Tour is 2008's top grosser, pulling in $210.6 million and two million fans. And they didn't just drive back and forth in New Jersey! They totally left the state! * In fact, New Jersey kept on rocking at No. 2: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band's Magic Tour conjured $204.5 million dollars (plus $31 million not counted from last year). That's a lot of Camaros! Full list after the jump: [...]

Sources recently revealed that Mel B is getting her very own Vegas revue show. It's like the Spice Girls clashing with Showgirls. In other words, it's fabulous! The singer more famously known as Scary Spice has teamed up with big Broadway director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell to collaborate on the new project called 'Peep Show'. A source close to Mel says that it's "very sexy and very girl power!" Mel's 'Peep Show' is set to open in 2009 and play at the Planet Hollywood Casino Resort. I have a feeling that this will just end up being a rip off [...]

Just because the re-union tour is over, doesn't mean we need to forget the wonder that is the Spice Girls! Here is the Burntpiano Remix of Spice Up Your Life that will keep a little bit of the girl power alive in everyone... Enjoy :) Spice Up Your Life (Burntpiano [...]
A music exam given to high-school students in the UK is causing quite the row for suggesting that the kids listen to a song by Gary Glitter, who just returned to the country after spending 27 months in a Vietnamese jail on sex-with-minors charges , to prepare for writing a track of their own. "Leader Of The Gang" (above) was recommended to students as an example of a song that changed tempo and/or style alongside "Reviewing The Situation" from Oliver! and Meat Loaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)." The organization that [...]
Dopo Take That e Spice Girls , ecco un'altra band che ha deciso di tornare di nuovo insieme con la speranza di riuscire a fare qualche soldo in più visti gli insuccessi delle carriere da solisti dei singoli componenti: questa volta stiamo parlando dei Boyzone i quali si apprestano a ricalcare le scene con una raccolta dei loro più grandi successi dal titolo "Back Again…No Matter What". Questo nuovo lavoro, oltre alle vecchie hits e un dvd, conterrà alcuni inediti come il primo singolo "Love You Anyway" (potete vedere il video a questo [...]
Gli amanti dell' R'n'B conosceranno senz'altro le TLC , formazione americana composta da 3 avvenenti ragazze che è stata attiva tra il 1992 ed il 2005, vendendo solo negli USA qualcosa come 22 milioni di dischi e vincendo –tra le altre cose- diversi Grammy Awards. Una delle componenti, Lisa "Left-eye" Lopes (che molti ricordano per il duetto nella hit "Never be the same again" con la sporty spice Melanie C ) è morta tragicamente nel 2002 in seguito ad un incidente stradale, lasciando orfani colleghi e fan in tutto il mondo. Oggi arriva la notizia [...]
Given that the little bit of bother at the airport was dealt with effectively by the people paid to deal with these things, you might think it goes without saying that Mel B does not need to up her security in response. But you know the problem with things that go without saying? The thing gone without saying usually fails to get reported, alongside a photo of the person saying the thing and a puff for their latest project. So Mel B has helpfully announced that as a result of a swiftly resolved, unusual situation, she [...]
