They teamed up with Nokia to premiere the group's new comeback single "Freedom" in their new N8 Pink ad. I won't judge the track, not until it premieres entirety. Check it out below.
Rihanna has premiered her new music video for latest single "Man Down". The storyline was very powerful and shows how some relationships can go very wrong. In the beginning of the video RiRi is seen shooting the man in the streets before flashing back to what happened the morning before.
RiRi ends up meeting a tall, dark, and handsome guy at a party. The guy starts to over step his boundaries, and she turns his down. He doesn't take her rejection well. Afterwards the guy follows her after leaving the party. Then, the shocking thing happens. Rihanna tries to fight him off, but overpowers her and rapes her.
The song went really well with the Island concept. Rihanna's acting in the clip was great and very convincing. Check out it.

Girls Aloud member Nadine Coyle has decided to launch her solo album in the states. She released "Insatiable" in her home country, the UK and flopped harder than Ciara's "Basic Instinct". Its looks like the Irish beauty is going to release "Insatiable" track "Runnin" as her debut single. What do you think of the track?
"Singer-Songwriter Nadine Coyle is proud to introduce a sneak preview of the Summer Smash Runnin’ to U.S. audiences and clubs. Nadine is currently in the studio with hot DJ/Producer Duo Vito Fun & Damian Major collaborating on new club remixes".
Nadine's album was good but to a certain point, tracks from 1 to 6 and 13 were great. The rest of them was just ok, it didn't blow me away. I love "Runnin", will it be successful, I don't know.
Selena Gomez looks really retro, in this black and white cover for her band Selena Gomez & The Scene new song, "Bang Bang Bang".
You'll be able to hear "Bang Bang Bang" when the track hits iTunes on June 7th. Its the first promo single will be apart of their iTunes countdown her band's new album, When The Sun Goes Down, set to drop on June 28th.

Pre-Order Nicola Roberts - "Beat of My Drum" [Single] - HERE (UK Only)
Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts has been in LA shooting her first solo video for "Beat of My Drum", which will be released soon and the single will be available on iTunes June 5th.
Below is a longer snippet of "Porcelain Heart", it will serve as the B-side to her debut single. You only get the track, if you pre-order her the single. Its apart Nicola's iTunes promotional release, so its going to be available up until June 4th.
Its sounds like it should have been an album track instead of a B-side. Listen to it below, it sounds great.
LMFAO first single "Party Rock Anthem" has been a huge, hitting #1 all over Europe and charting in the US at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now the electro-hop duo premiered their second single "Champagne Showers" featuring Natalia Kills.
I knew who LMFAO was, but I never really gave them a listen until now. "Champagne Showers" is a great song, but I wish Natalia had some more parts to sing in the track. The official album cover for their second album "Sorry For Party Rocking" is above, and is set to drop June 21st.
As a lot of us know that British singer Cheryl Cole has been kicked off X Factor US panel, and was replaced by the show's co-host Nicole Flopzinger. TMZ was the first to break the news, and Cole, Flopzinger, Simon Cowell, or Fox has yet to officially confirm anything.
Its been said that Cheryl was dropped from the judging panel due to her English accent being too difficult for an American audience to understand. There were supposedly other issues as well, like her and Paula Abdul having a lack of chemistry. The accent excuse is just a bunch of bull, I can understand her very well, so that wasn't really a good reason. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but i don't necessarily think Cheryl and Paula wouldn't be able to get along.
I was very shocked to find this out, Cheryl in my opinion was done very dirty. They were wrong for firing her, especially when she has already filmed the first and the second round of auditions, done official press for the show, and no telling what else she's done.
There is a twitter petition available for you to sign, if you want Cheryl back on the panel. Spread the word. I'am aware that this probably won't do anything, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Check out the artwork for Lil Wayne's third single "How To Love" from his upcoming album "Carter IV". The track was produced by Detail and is already on iTunes.
Beyoncé second single was by 961Kiss. Apparently, it won't be "1+1" or "Till The End Of Time", which comes to find out its actually titled "End Of Time". The next single is "Best Thing I Never Had".
According to 961Kiss, the single is set to be premiere on June 1st. The midtempo track was penned by Babyface. Bey's album "4" will hit stores June 28th here in the US.
UK boyband JLS premiered their new single "She Make's Me Wanna" featuring Dev, a couple days ago. In my opinion the song sucks. The song sounds like every pop/dance hit that came out this year. I swear...... it sounds like RedOne took Chris Brown's "Yeah 3X", Usher's "DJ", and even Britney's "Till The World Ends". You can't tell me that the "Oh Oh Oh" parts don't remind you of that song.
Its the most unoriginal song I've heard this year. Since the radios these days are pop/danced out, it shouldn't be hard to get airplay here in the states. In the UK, I can see it becoming a hit but, in US I can't see it happening.
Rihanna wasn't the only one who performed a mini-concert. Lady Gaga went by Good Morning American yesteday, to perform tracks from her new album "Born This Way".
Gaga gave some very solid performances. From listening to crowd their were really enjoying it. Her third studio album, "Born This Way" is in stores now.
Rihanna was on The Today Show yesterday to perform a mini-concert and sung her hits for her current album "Loud", including her newest single "California King Bed".
She managed to deliver another very good performance of "California King Bed" on their. What it looks to me is, Rihanna is a decent vocalist, its mostly the uptempo performances it were she is lacking stage presents. Ri-Ri "S&M" entrance was good, the "What's My Name" and "Only Girl" performances were great.
"California King Bed" has just debuted on The Billboard Hot 100 at #80, so will have to see if it goes to #1.
Shontelle premiered her new music video for third single "Say Hello To Goodbye" from her recent second album "No Gravity".
I surprised that Shontelle is still releasing singles and promoting this album. "No Gravity" was released in September 2010 and flopped hard, but it seems like her team still believes in the project.
Its a good song but its not memorable neither is the video. She's a very talented singer, its up her and her team to make and put out the right material. Check it out.
Lloyd's new single "Be The One" featuring Trey Songz and Young Jeezy has premiered in full. The song is from his fourth studio album "King of Hearts", set to drop July 5th.
Below you can check out the new music video from Taylor Swift new single "The Story Of Us. I like the song, the video was alright but it really wasn't nothing special about it. Half of the time it took place in a library.
Below is a video of Beyoncé rehearsing "1+1" before her performance on the American Idol Finale yesterday. The video was filmed in her dressing room by her husband Jay-Z before she took to the stage.

Beyoncé performed her hit single, "Crazy In Love," along with the axed ladies of this season's American Idol and also performs new track "1+1".
Bey did a good on "Crazy In Love". The live vocals and the dancing was on point as usual. She took the American Idol stage again to perform her new ballad, "1+1," for the first time live and blew me away. She sung the track live and took it to another level.
The R&B ballad was written and produced by Beyoncé, Tricky Stewart and The-Dream. The vocals are incredible. Check it out.
Nicole Scherzinger did an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres and performed her first US single, "Right There," with 50 Cent.
After that horrible American Idol performance, it seems like she managed to redeem herself. The performance was not amazing but the live vocals was much better.
"Killer Love" is set to be released in the US on August 16th.
Beyoncé released the tracklisting to her fourth studio album "4" one by one today. The last track revealed was a special treat for the fans.
When you pre-order Beyoncé from her official site you will get a free download of "1+1". The song is very different and I fucking love it. Its a really beautiful ballad that talks about love.
I can't wait for this album now. Check it out below.

Beyoncé performed another performance "Run The World (Girls)" on Oprah Winfrey's finale show. The performance was great, but it wasn't better than her performance at the Billboard Awards.
Beyoncé's promotional campaign it is paying off in some way. "Run The World (Girls)" is currently at #12 on U.S. iTunes.
Here is all the performances from The Billboard Music Awards. Performance from Beyoncé, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Black Eyed Peas, Nicki Minaj, Taio Cruz and so much more. Check it out.
Rihanna andBritney Spears performed S&M together last night at the Billboard Music Awards. That performance was really disappointing, not so much Rihanna's part but Britney's. She didn't put any effort into that performance what so ever (what else is new). The part where I was just really over her, was when she came out with Nicki Minaj.
Britney may have lip synced and done it badly, but the dancing should have be on point. I'm not trying to come down on Brit, I just feel like she can do so much better.
Beyoncé rocked the stage tonight at the Billboard Music Awards. She performed her single "Run The World (Girl)", and received her well deserved award Artist Of The Millennium award.
I loved the performance, the wide screen choreography was favorite part of it. I have to say,with Bee having all those women on stage reminded me of her VMA "Single Ladies" performance........ Just saying.
The 2011 Billboard Music Awards will return tonight in the US and is said that its going to be one hell of a show.
Beyoncé will be honored tonight with the Billboard Millennium award, there will be live performances from Nicki Minaj, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Cee Lo Green, Taio Cruz, PitBull and possibly Beyoncé. Britney Spears is rumored to take the stage twice to perform with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj.
