Christina Aguilera Keeps Gettin' Better


Christina Aguilera will release her first greatest hits album in November. It will be for sure full of her best tracks and a couple of new songs. One of them 'Keeps Gettin' Better', a bit different than usual, but quite good. In this song she is quite contained regarding her vocals, which is a first but a shame as her big beltings are of a class of their own. Enjoy her new video, released just last friday.

Christina Aguilera sacara al mercado su primer disco de grandes exitos en Noviembre. Seguro que estara compuesto de sus mejores canciones y un par de nuevos temas. Una de ellas es 'Keeps Gettin' Better', un poco distinto de a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados, con sus tonos de voz un poco contenidos, que es una novedad, pero una pena tambien, pues sus melodicos 'gritos' son de una clase a parte. Aqui esta su nuevo video, estrenado el viernes pasado.

UK Girl Bands Attack!


Autumn is here an mountains of releases happen. Anastacia and Pink the most remarkable ones. Sugababes following close. And now the girl bands are ready to attack too. The Saturdays will release their first album 'Chasing Lights' following their success with 'If This Is Love' and now the great 'Up', both top ten hits in the UK Charts. Girls Aloud, the band that gets better with every album, will release too their new album shortly, with the release of their new single 'The Promise'. So many releases will leave us breathless and I hope I have time to digest them all. As soon as I have listened to the new albums I will let you know how good they are. For now I can say Anastacia's sounds amazing.


El otoño esta aqui y montañas de lanzamientos occurren. Anastacia y Pink los mas extraordinarios de momento, con Sugababes siguiendolos de cerca. Y ahora los grupos de chicas estan listos para el ataque tambien. The Saturdays lanzaran su primer disco despues del exito de 'If This Is Love' y ahora mismo 'Up', ambos en el top 10 del UK Charts. Girls Aloud, otra banda que mejora con cada album, lanzara nueva trabajo muy pronto despues del lanzamiento del single 'The Promise' que sera seguro un exito. Tan pronto haya escuchado los nuevos albums os dire que tal estan, pero por ahora el de Anastacia es una autentica maravilla.

Beyonce Harsh With The Boys


Beyonce's new song' If I Were A Boy', a part from is a harsh message to men in general, saying how horrible they treat women. However, the song is really beautiful and one of the best from this lady. Beyonce will release a double CD album in November called 'I Am... Sasha Fierce'. Not sure why this will be double other than the pace of each CD, but being the deluxe edition an 8 track per CD job, I don't understand why she couldn't put all in one CD only or add more tracks to the other two. Still, looking forward to listening to it very much as she's always very impressive in all her work. On the other hand, she has release another track called 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' which is the first song fro CD2, same as 'If I Were A Boy' is the first song in CD1, making us believe that one CD will be rather slow and the second one more uptempo. Let's see what suprises the new album unleashes, but for now enjoy these two new songs.

La nueva cancion de Beyonce 'If I Were A Boy', a parte de usar la gramatica equivocada, es un mensaje terrible hacia los hombres en general, contando que mal tratan a las mujeres. Sin embargo, la cancion es preciosa y una de las mejores de esta dama. Beyonce lanzara al mercado su nuevo disco en Noviembre, un doble CD llamado 'I Am... Sasha Fierce'. No se seguro porque sera doble, especialmente ya que la edicion de lujo tendra 8 canciones por CD, pudiendo ponerlas todas en uno o incluyendo mas canciones. pero la explicacin mas logica es que el CD1 sera mas lento y el CD2 mas movido. La primera cancion del CD1 es 'If I Were A Boy' y la primera del CD2 es 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)', que seguramente sera su siguiente single, del que ya tenemos video musical disponible. Veamos que sopresas nos trae su nuevo album, pues esta mujer siempre nos trae trabajo de mucha calidad y nunca decepciona.

Britney's Back On Track


Britney Spears released not long ago her latest single 'Womanizer' topping the US charts, preparing for the release of her new album 'Circus' on 1/12/2008. She seems to be back on track. Though we could say she seems to be back where she left it before her meltdown with the video for 'Womanizer'. It's very much on the vein of 'Toxic'. Lots of references to it, like her dancing, sexy moves and even the guy with glasses that appeared in the plane scene shows up here in the photocopy machine scene. Check it out, it's quite funny and she seems to be ready to take on the world again. The music and the singing are not all that great, but this song will probably stay in your head for days.

Britney Spears lanzo no hace mucho su ultimo single 'Womanizer' llegando al numero 1 en los Estados Unidos, preparando el camino para su nuevo album 'Circus' que sale a la venta el 1/12/2008. Britney parece estar de nuevo en plena forma. O mejor dicho, parece haber vuelto donde lo dejo despues de su single 'Toxic'. El video de 'Womanizer' comparte muchos aspectos con 'Toxic'. El baile, los movimientos sexy e incluso el hombre con gafas que salia en la escena del avion, aparece aqui en la escena de la fotocopiadora. Es bastante divertido y ella parece lista para conquistar el mundo de nuevo. La musica y voz no son lo mas fantastico, pero esta cancion va a estar en tu mente durante varios dias.

Let's Make Way For Avenue


A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from Island Records recommending me a new boy band. Their name is Avenue. Their names are Andy, Max, Scott, Ross and Jonny. I got curious, as such a label wouldn´t advertise a band unless they were pretty confident of possible success and that they had some good quality. I checked out their first single 'Last Goodbye' out of interest then and I was quite impressed. The music quite upbeat and energetic and some of the boys can actually sing. Some of them seem pretty good looking too, so the mix of all makes quite a possible success formula. Let´s see if they make it to the charts, as their single was supposed to have been released in September and at day today no sign of them in the charts. But did they really appear out of the blue? A bit of their story.

They tried to take part in the X Factor talent show. They did very well as they got to boot camp. But it seems they had some kind of management before they entered the contest and that was breaking one of the golden rules of the show, so they effectively got desqualified. They fortuantely were not forgotten and they got together some good producers and a contract with a good label and good A&R. And today I´m telling you about them as it looks like they could make it. I will keep you posted if they do. For now enjoy their first single 'Last Goodbye'.
