Britney Spears: Live Lap Dance on Stage

Britney Spears has rolled into Canada on her "Femme Fatale" tour, with a wild stop in Montreal. During the Montreal concert Britney gave a lucky guy a lap dance on stage. The lap dance was live onstage complete with the stripper pole, mimicking an actual strip club.

The Femme Fatal tour has been successful so far, and for all of Britney's fans, it has not been a disappointment, proving that Ms. Spears is still very popular and here to stay.

The lucky guy in Montreal who got a lap dance by Britney Spears was no other than Pauly D from the hit reality show "Jersey Shore". You can watch the live lap dance below.

Amy Winehouse: Belgrade Meltdown

Amy Winehouse has cancelled up coming concerts in Istanbul and Athens after the onstage meltdown that happened in Belgrade. Winehouse appeared to be dis-oriented and confused as she stumbled and mumbled through a short set of songs.

Amy was on a small tour, to test her stability and stamina in live performances, as part of her recovery on the road back to music. During her performance in Belgrade, which was a crowd of 20,000 she was booed off the stage for her lack of showmanship and ability to perform at the concert.


Amy Winehouse has returned home to London, where she will continue to work on her health.

The Rehab singer has not been a stranger to public mishaps and much reported erratic behavior due to substance abuse.

Amy Winehouse released her debut album "Frank" in 2003 followed by her successful second album "Back to Black".

Amy received 5 Grammy nominations and won five awards for her Back to Black album. 

Her biggest known song is "Rehab" which put Amy in the spotlight, with the media paying close attention to her imminent fall from grace.

Adam Lambert: The Quest for Platinum

Adam Lambert, the successful runner up from American Idol (Season 8) is on a quest for platinum. Adam's debut album "For Year Entertainment" is close to reaching platinum status in the US. As Adam is recording his follow up album, he is hoping to reach that platinum sales plateau, which is within reach with over 800,000 units sold already.

Whataya Want From Me is one of the best selling singles from his album "For Your Entertainment" selling over 1,6 million copies in the US alone. It is a great classic pop rock song, that really makes Adam Lambert shine as a vocalist and performer. The song has also earned him a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. 

For Your Entertainment Track Listing:

1. Music Again
2. For Your Entertainment
3. Whataya Want from Me
4. Strut
5. Soaked
6. Sure Fire Winners
7. A Loaded Smile
8. If I Had you
9. Pick U Up
10. Fever
11. Sleepwalker
12. Aftermath
13. Broken Open

Life on the Front Stage:
Adam is no stranger to the stage, he has been a public performer since he was a young boy. Performing as a stage actor, he has performed in many onstage musicals and toured before he became famous as a recording artist. All the plays and musicals, just added as training for a life in music. This is proof, that Adam Lambert is not a fly by night singing contest finalist. (Sarcastic pun intended).

In 2009 Adam decided to try out for American Idol (Season 8) which proved to be quite beneficial to him. It was predicted early in the season, by the judges, that Adam would go to the finals. Adam did go to the final and finished as the runner up. Through out the season 8 Adam performed a great mixture of pop and classic rock songs, which suited him well for his vocal style and performance.

During American Idol an apparent smear campaign was conducted against him, with some publishing photos of Lambert and another male being intimate. Adam admitted his sexual orientation and stated he was not ashamed nor, did he have anything to hide. Adam handled the situation in a very diplomatic way, and continued the season, and it did not effect his ratings as a singer and performer on American Idol.

Quest for Platinum:
Currently Adam Lambert is recording his second album in the studio, which is rumored to be a great album to come. With his vocal style and panache this is bound to be a much anticipated follow up album.

Adam Lambert possess all the qualities of a star performer, and successful one at that. With his flamboyant style, attitude and charisma he will be a successful artist always.

Adam Lambert is the male version of Lady Gaga all the elements are there, from vocals and style to marketing and performing.

Will Adam Lambert's debut album "For Your Entertainment" reach Platinum sales status before he releases his next album? We hope it does, he is an artist that deserves to cross the finish line.

Adam Lambert's album sales to date are approximately over 800,000 in the US, another 200,000 units need to be sold to have the RIAA certification of Platinum.

MP3 Best Sellers: Alison Krauss, Foo Fighters and Paul Simon

Amazon MP3 Hot new releases and best sellers this week, is an interesting look at styles of music. Alison Krauss, The Foo Fighters, and Paul Simon are the top 3 best sellers.

#1 Alison Krauss & Union Station: Her new album "Paper Airplane" The album was released on April 12th, 2011 and now is the number 1 spot on Amazon music and Amazon MP3.

This is Alison's 14th album, and she shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Ms. Krauss is backed by Union Station on her latest release.

Alison Krauss last releases "Raising Sand" with Robert Plant was her most successful album to date. She had won six Grammy® Awards, which included "Album of the Year" and "Song of the Year".

At only 39 years old, the impressive and talented young singer/songwriter has won countless Grammy and other awards throughout her career.

#2 Foo Fighters new album "Wasting Light" is a HOT album, that was recently released. Dave Grohl the Foo Fighters main songwriter was also the drummer for Nirvana, which disbanded after Kurt Cobain committed suicide.

Wasting Light is an energetic album, with straight forward grunge, that is heavy on pent up rage, like previous Foo Fighter albums.

Free MP3: "I Should Have Know" is a free download at Amazon.

The new album was recorded in Grohl's garage, and with the atmosphere, is reunited on this album with Nirvana colleague and bassist Krist Novoselic.

If you notice the new album has a really grunge feel to it, that would be because of Butch Vig who is producing the Foo Fighters latest album. Butch Vig was the producer for Nirvana's break out album "Nevermind". There is allot of buzz surrounding the free MP3 "I Should Have Known", rumor has it, it could have a reference to Kurt Cobain.

#3 Paul Simon with "So Beautiful or So What" which is his twelfth studio album released on April 12, 2011 on Hear Music and Concord Music Group record labels. 

The album has received critical acclaim and rave reviews from many industry insiders, for the vibe and theme of the album. The album is a mix of art and spirituality, colored by music. Paul Simon has created a splendid work of art, that is soft, beautiful and leaves question unanswered, which is the secret of great songwriting and story telling.

So Beautiful or So What also included the song "Getting Ready for Christmas Day", which was previously played at concerts before this release. The song contains a sampling of a 1941 sermon by the late Rev. J.M. Gates. 



All three albums, are quite unique and interesting in their own genres, and all express them selves well in their songs and songwriting.

Music Review: Britney Spears - Femme Fatale (No Faux Pas)

Britney Mania is about to be unleashed like a circus freak show. Britney Spears new album “Femme Fatale” was just released, which is Ms. Spear’s seventh album. The much anticipated album is considered by many critics as her strongest album to date.

Yes, Britney did it again with Femme Fatale, a nonstop straight forward no holds barred dance album.  The production polished club album smells like fantasy perfume, with deep bass thumping dance songs. Like most of Britney Spears' songs, it is digital techno or as you might now it, modern day disco.

Britney has teamed up with some top industry producers for her latest album. Dr. Luke, Max Martin, will.i.am and Claude Kelly are the producers and songwriters on the latest release. Although Britney does not have any songwriting credits on the album, she does bring her brand and persona to the table. 

Max Martin and Dr. Luke are the executive producers of Femme Fatal, and they both bring their talent and abilities to the album. It is considered by many as one of the most exciting digitally produced album of the year. Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas also contributed and produced the song “Big Fat Bass” for the album. 

Femme Fatale (Deluxe) Track Listing:

• Till The World Ends
• Hold It Against Me
• Inside Out
• I Wanna Go
• How I Roll
• (Drop Dead) Beautiful (featuring Sabi)
• Seal It With a Kiss
• Big Fat Bass (featuring Will.i.am)
• Trouble For Me
• Trip To Your Heart
• Gasoline
• Criminal
• Up N' Down
• He About To Lose Me
• Selfish
• Don't Keep Me Waiting. 

 

Many critics have criticized the album for being extremely polished, as well as manipulation of Britney Spears vocals. In my opinion it is a straight up dance album, which is what Britney is known for, and is part of the Britney brand. I also believe Femme Fetal is a pause on the stepping stones of something far more critical to come because pole dancing in black garters has become passé and a cliché that has been done from everyone from Madonna and Lady Gaga to Keisha.  

Femme Fatale is not a faux pas for Britney; overall it’s her best album to date, and nothing that is disappointing.  The album will wet the appetite of Spear’s fans, which will start the buzz for Britney Mania, n’est ce pas? After all she is America’s pop princess.

Britney has announced a summer tour in North America to support Femme Fatale.
