NEW MUSIC: JENNIFER HUDSON- SPOTLIGHT

Jennifer Hudson

New music has leaked today from Jennifer Hudson, and it's rumored to be the first single off her long-awaited album.

JENNIFER HUDSON- SPOTLIGHT


I'm not really feeling the song to be honest, I was hoping for something more soul tingling. I love it when Jennifer shows off that big voice of hers, and belts out a tune. Lets just hope this is an example of things to come.

FROM B-MORE TO THE HILLS

Tristan Wilds, who played Micheal on the hit HBO drama, "The Wire" has been recently cast in the upcoming "Beverly Hills 90210" spinoff seris. Wilds will play Dixon Mills, the adopted brother of Annie. [SOURCE]

...I'm skeptical about this. I'm a "Wire" fanatic, I just can't see him on "90210". It just doesn't go hand and hand to me. Hell, he's a good actor it might be worth watching now!

AALIYAH COVERS FADER MAGAZINE

Aailyah

The late Aaliyah covers Fader magazines annual "Icon" issue. The issue includes personal comments from family and friends.

Missy Elliott

We was gonna save the world. We was gonna change music every chance we got. We was gonna always be family. Forever.


Mark Ronson

If it wasn’t for Aaliyah being the face and voice of [Missy Elliott andTimbaland’s] sound they might have never got to where they did. They were presenting their sort of brilliant but challenging breakthrough music through this beautiful young girl who could sing it perfectly.

Kidada Jones

I think about her all the time…Anytime she’s brought up or her music comes on the radio, it’s sweet, but it definitely sounds like she found a niche before it was here. If you listen to her music it’s so relevant today, but we had it so long ago.


Damon Dash

She was already a fashion icon, she was getting into movies, she had already planted that seed. If she was alive today she would be so relevant. I see little bits of her everywhere I look, in a lot of artists.

JABBAWOCKEEZ ARE "AMERICAS BEST DANCE CREW"

One of my favorite shows on T.V., when the writers strike was in affect would have to be, "Americas Best Dance Crew". I don't know why, but I just like it. And when I heard the Randy Jackson of "American Idol" was behind it, I said to myself, WTF?

My favorite dance crew by far would have to be the Jabbawockeez, who won the title of, "Americas Best Dance Crew" last night.

What turned me on to the group was there ability to incorporate all types of dance styles and make them look fresh and new. And the head spin dude did last week just mad me like them even more.
