Rebecca Ferguson New Single 'Nothing real but Love'

Rebecca Ferguson, the runner up of 2010's X Factor competition is releasing her debut single, 'Nothing real but Love'  on the 27th November, which is on her debut album 'Heaven'. The Liverpool singer ang her new single on The X Factor last night, and was truly mesmerizing.  No one can doubt that she has real talent, and is a sweet girl, so where has she been? Dating One Direction's 18 year old Zayn Malik, who is six years younger than the her. The pair date for four months, but recently split earlier in the summer.

The 25 year old is back on the music scene, and her new single is really refreshing. She has such a unique and sensual song. Rebecca has co-written all the songs on her album, and the songs reflect her life, and love experiences. The album is out in December, and I am looking forward to hearing it. She has a great voice, and isn't over confident and arrogant, like a lot of great singers these days. The single mother of two has done well picking herself up after the abuse she received about her relationship with Zayn. Here is a video of last night's performance.

I wish her every success (and I think that she'll have a lot) Her voice is stunning and so is she. Her voice reminds me of Macy Gray. I like her humbleness to. An interview with this mornings 'Breakfast' show on BBC1, revealed she is backing Amelia Lily to win this years X Factor.

Little Mix's Flawless Performance of 'Don't Let Go'

Little Mix gave a great and flawless performance of En Vogue's 'Don't let go' last night on The X Factor. There have been rumours of the girl group who have previously given mediocre performances, were auto tuned for last nights song choice. Little Mix's singer Jade said on Twitter, "Thers a cheeky little rumour goin round tht we wer autotuned.. we wernt! It was purely our voices bt we take that as a compliment! X" 

Aside from the fact that she can't spell, I have to have faith and believe that it was just their talent, and that their obvious hard work paid off this week. They also met  The Saturdays this week, but i'm not sure if this really had any difference except it giving them confidence in themselves. 

I love this version of the song, and I think they performed it very well. It was definitely their best performance yet, take a look:

Amelia Lily Fights Diabetes

Amelia Lily, aged 17 has to take four insulin injections a day as she fights Diabetes. X factor's returned contestant says "Adrenalin uses a lot of energy, so I need to decrease my insulin levels before I perform."


She returned to the X Factor last week after Frankie Cocozza was booted off, and says the "stress and pressure" of the show makes it hard for her to control the life threatening disease. She has to be careful that high blood sugar she doesn't make her "go blind."


Amelia is now a favorite the win the singing competition, but she admit's she "used to have fits when she was younger". I admire her for getting up on stage, and still pursuing her dream.

The star was seen "sobbing in the car park the other week" when Frankie Cocozza hooked up with another girl. An OK! interview revealed she thought the story of her romantic attachment to Frankie a "Laughable". According to Amelia, they went to the car park to have a cigarette, nothing more as the papers implied, and that she was crying as he dog was rushed to the vets that evening. She denies saying "I can't believe he's done this", saying the press twisted her words, as she maybe was referring to her dog being blind.

Last night's performance shows just how determined she is to win the competition. I am no fan of shouty performances as you know, and I feel she does this a little, but I think she has a good image, and I can see why the public are warming to her and voting.

Here is an interview with Amelia Lily celebrating her return to the show:

Craig Colton dating former contestant Danyl Johnson

It has been confirmed that Craig Colton is dating 2009's contestant Danyl Johnson who is bisexual. 

Remember him?

The 29 year old former contestant openly admitted to being bisexual when he was on the show, whilst Craig's homosexuality wasn't confirmed until former contestants Nu Vibe Stefan Romer called Craig a "Bum boy".

The new couple were seen kissing at South Bank on Sunday according to Sun newspaper. Do we believe them? Craig left a tweet saying,

"Had a great night with my pal @DanylAJohnson" and the pair have apparently been inseparable. 

Craig said weeks ago "I have never hidden my sexuality and I am proud if who I am. Nu Vibe are my best mate."

I personally couldn't care less about people's sexuality, it doesn't make any difference to their talent. Fellow contestant Marcus Collins thinks Craig should "concentrate on his performances and not get distracted."

Could someone be jealous?

I am looking forward to see if Craig can sing something as good as last week. Will Janet do any better tonight? Tune in at 20.15 on ITV1.

X Factor Tour 2012 without Frankie.

The final nine X Factor contestants have been confirmed for next years X Factor tour, but Frankie's name is not on the list.


The X Factor 2012 tour starts on the 25th February, at 14 venues across the UK, and ends in April. The final nine contestants include: 


Kitty Brucknell
Johnny Robinson
The Risk
Misha B
Janet Devlin
Craid Colton
Little Mix
Marcus Collins
Amelia Lily

Kitty Brucknell, who was eliminated last week on the show, was overjoyed with being asked to be on the tour. "Being on tour means everything to me, it's been my dream since I was a little girl to perform somewhere like Wembley or the O2" and Johnny Robinson says he is "over the moon".


http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2011/11/17/x-factor-axed-acts-to-play-2012-live-tour-but-there-s-still-no-sign-of-frankie-cocozza-115875-23566418/


It has been rumoured that if Franke Cocozza could clean up his act, and "keep his nose clean" he would be allowed on the 2012 tour. However, it took him only one night before he was back on the town, partying, snorting cocaine, drinking and smoking with lots of women surrounding him.


"He was snorting it secretly behind the backs of his pals."


http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/x_factor/3940498/X-Factors-Frankie-Cocozza-in-new-cocaine-shame.html


I'm not surprised that The X Factor don't want him tagging along causing mayhem on their tour. The 20 year old was then seen going back to his hotel with a girl, and Derry Mensah from The Risk following closely behind. Looks like they are both enjoying their new found fame a little too much.

The tour dates are:

February 25 - Manchester MEN Arena

February 27 - Liverpool Echo Arena

February 29 - Nottingham Capital FM Arena

March 4 - London Wembley Arena (two shows)

March 6, 7 - Dublin O2

March 9, 10 - Belfast Odyssey Arena

March 13 - Aberdeen ECC

March 17 - Glasgow SECC (two shows)

March 19 - Newcastle Metro Radio Arena

March 21 - Sheffield Motorpoint Arena

March 25 - Birmingham LG Arena (two shows)

March 27, 28 - Brighton Centre

At the end of the day, Frankie is a young lad who is just enjoying life. Maybe he took that a little far, but he has definitely lost out this time. Maybe in a few years and after some singing lessons he will be ready to be the 'role model' everyone wants him to be.

Rihanna's New Album 'Talk that talk' Teaser

Rhianna 's new album 'Talk that Talk' will be released next Monday, 21 November, and it is already at No 12 on the i tunes charts. 

The new album featuring Jay Z and Calvin Harris is the 23 year old's sixth studio album. The track listing has recently been revealed as a teaser for her fans:

1.You da one

2. Where have you been

3.We found love (Feat. Calvin Harris)

4. Talk that talk (Feat. Jay Z)

5.Cockiness (Love it)

6. Birthday cake.

7. We all want love

8. Drunk on love.

9. Roc me out.

10. Watch n' learn

11. Farewell

Deluxe Edition

12. Red lipstick

13. Do ya thing

14 Fool in love

Here is a sneak peak at 'Talk that talk'  from the new album, featuring Jay Z, live.

Rihanna has leaked that "You da one" will be the next single on the album. There are various bad videos made on youtube, which only show the lyrics. I will be putting the official video on here as soon as its released.

A full album review can be read here:

http://whatculture.com/music/rihanna-talk-that-talk-review.php

The album is said to be more electro-pop, similar to the lead single 'We Found Love' which was released on the 22nd September. The single produced by Calvin Harris is currently No 1 on the Billboards Hot Single Chart, but has received mixed reviews.

Even though I am a great an of the Barbadian singer, and love her previous album, "Loud" I did find this single at little limited at first, lacking in lyrics and generally quite repetitive.  It has grown on me, but I am pretty sure I would get very sick of it almost instantly if I start playing at home.

I read an article yesterday about Rihanna and how she 'glamourizes' smoking. I even found  a youtube video of her telling the camera her warm up for a gig is a throat sweet, and a cigarette. Great advice Rihanna. I would advise against this.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2061690/Rihanna-ignores-critics-lights-cigarette-new-photoshoot.html

She does look very sexy smoking, so I can totally see where they are coming from, but isn't this a free world? Then again, her fans include millions of small children who want to be Rihanna. So, following this up I took a look at  the'We Found Love'  music video and was quite taken a back. The video shows Rihanna constantly lighting up a cigarette, having the time of her life drunk and presumably on drugs, and a guy (apparently boyfriend of the week) drawing 'Mine' on her bum. He looks suspiciously like Chris Brown, her ex boyfriend and it follow their crazy drug fueled lifestyle.

Rihanna was also seen entering a well known 'Coffee Shop' in Amsterdam in October which is notorious for selling Cannabis (most coffee shops of course do in Amsterdam). I feel a little sorry for her being under constnat scrutiny just because she is successful. In the Sun's article she says, 

"I just want to make music. That's it." Sick and tired and being a role model for children.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3893099/Rihannas-trip-to-cannabis-cafe.html

 It's one crazy video, but is a good video (definitely not for little kids however but she can't always conform!). Take a look, its quite intense.

                                   

                                

Lady Gaga on X Factor, Rivalry against Adele & Kitty is voted off

Last night's X factor results brought a dramatic performance from Lady Gaga, as well as Kitty Brucknell being kicked off the show.

Lady Gaga performed 'Marry the night'  dressed in a black corpse, looking a little uncomfortable it has to be said. I'm not a fan of Gaga, I have to admit, but I do think she knows how to sing a good pop song, and give a eventful performance every time. 

Lady Gaga is up for 'The Artist of the Year' American Music award, along with five other artists including Adele, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Lil Wayne. But it seems Lady Gaga fans feel threatened that the award may go Adele who has managed to beat Gaga in the best selling charts. She has successfully managed to sell one in ten records this year. Twitter has seen many negative and nasty comments of Gaga's fans, such as "Confirmed: Gaga will not be wearing her meat dress because she is afraid Adele will eat it." and also making a spoof video of the curvaceous and talented pop singer. I am not impressed.

Lady Gaga's executive has apparently said, "Lady Gaga does not approve of bullying anyone for their physical appearance. It goes against everything she stands for."

The Bottom Two

Kitty and Misha B were in the bottom two last night, both giving a great sing off, but I can't say I'm sad about Kitty being voted off. The final acapella performance she gave at the end proved to me exactly why she went in the first place. Over the top and annoying. Who want to bet Kitty will disappear as quickly as she came into our lives on Saturday night?

So, the end of Kitty has come on the X Factor, and this meant that her idol, Lady Gaga rushed to her when the show had finished, bringing her into her dressing room, offering her wine and an apparently half an hour shoulder to cry on. The two dramatic acts can now be best of friends, but I'm sure this won't last more than twenty seconds.
