Adam Lambert's AMAs scandal
27 November, 2009 9:26 PM
Adam shocked TV audiences on Sunday's American Music Awards during his performance of 'For Your Entertainment' when he kissed a male keyboard player and shoved another dancer's face into his crotch.
Lambert won't apologize for his shock ing performance on ABC Sunday night and says he's being singled out because he's gay. 'I admit I did get carried away, but I don't see anything wrong with it', he said yesterday on CBS' 'The Early Show'. 'I'm not a babysitter. I'm a performer . . . I think it's because I'm a gay male'.
ABC, which received over 1,500 complaints, canceled Lambert's scheduled appearance on 'Good Morning America'. 'I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it. If it had been a female pop performer doing [those] moves that were on the stage, I don't think there would be nearly as much of an outrage' he said.
Check the video below and share what you think.

Robbie Williams proposes to his girlfriend
9:25 PM
Robbie Williams has proposed to his girlfriend, the pop star's mother Jan has confirmed. Williams asked actress Ayda Field to be his 'betrothed for the end of time' on an Australian radio show, but it was initially perceived to be a joke. However, Jan Williams told BBC Radio 5 live that her son had revealed his proposal plans to her a week ago.However, it is still not clear whether the radio proposal was for real - or whether Williams had popped the question beforehand. Williams was appearing on the Australian radio station 2Day FM, when breakfast show host Jackie Henderson told him that Sydney had a reputation for celebrity proposals. Turning to his girlfriend, the 35-year-old said: 'Ayda Field, I love you so much. Do you mind being my betrothed for the end of time?'. Field, who was in the studio at the time, laughed before saying: "I would love to be your betrothed 'til the end of time."
YT/MS Featured Artist: Becca de la Musique
24 November, 2009 8:48 PM
Rebecca Cole is 19 year old english singer-songwriter who is currently unsigned and attending Warwick University where she has a band, 'Such Modern Ways'. Her appearance reminds me of Hayley Williams, but she insist her hair looks more like Florence Welch's one. Becca has a YouTube account, loveuloveb, where she covers different songs, and a MySpace account, beccadelamusique, where she uploads original songs. Her influences are Patrick Wolf, Florence + the Machine, Bjork and Paramore. She is an acoustic singer and is often seen playing the guitar in her videos, she can also speak in french. Becca's soulful and deep voice blends perfectly with her guitar playing and makes her singing very relaxing. Her original songs 'Overdue'(video below) and 'We Belong' (in her MySpace site) are great examples of how good she is. I hope that you can see her greatness through this YouTube videos.Videos:

Brick By Boring Brick Video Premiere

'Brick by Boring Brick' is the second single from Paramore's third album Brand New Eyes.The music video was filmed in Los Angeles on October 8, 2009 and directed by Meiert Avis. In an interview with MTV, bassist Jeremy Davis explained that the band had created a treatment for the video before receiving further ideas from several directors. The video is Paramore's first to not be performance based and some of the members of the band are only seen for a short period of time. It is also their first video to be filmed in front of green screen, and to have 'a whole story behind it', with acting. Guitarist Josh Farro likened the video to the 2006 Spanish fantasy film Pan's Labyrinth. It was originally set to premiere on November 17 on The Hills, but was later postponed. The video was eventually released on Paramore.net on November 23.
