MUSIC NEWS: ALICIA KEYS TO RECORD BOND THEME / SOLANGE VIDEO BLOGS / CIARA COVERS BILLBOARD

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Alicia Keys along with Jack White of the band, White Stripes are teaming up for the coveted James Bond theme for the upcoming film, which will hit theaters November 7th.

The song, “Another Way To Die,” will be the first duet in Bond soundtrack history. White wrote and produced the song, and also will play drums. The soundtrack to the movie will be released Oct. 28.

This is pretty interesting news considering that Beyonce, Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis had previously been rumored as the vocalists for the latest Bond theme. I’m interested to see what Alicia Keys comes up with. I think her latest album, As I Am was a good effort for her musically and artistically, but there’s just something about Alicia’s voice that just doesn’t cut it for me sometimes (I think it’s the fact that she doesn’t show much vocal range). I’m eager to see what they come up with, though!

SOLANGE VIDEO BLOGS

Solange, who started her own blog, HadleyStreetJournal.com is taking a stab at video blogging! This is a good look for her, so that people can see her quirky personality. If you’re watching this at work, you might wanna put some earphones in. Our girl Solange uses a couple of dirty words before Julez creeps in!

Solange’s album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams drops August 26th.

CIARA COVERS BILLBOARD

CIARA COVERS BILLBOARD

Ciara covers this month’s issue of Billboard Magazine. The cover was shot by Derek Blanks, who has been rumored to have shot all of Ciara’s album artwork for her upcoming third album, Fantasy Ride. Although there have been a couple of leaks from Ciara, there is no definite single yet. We just finally got the full version of “High Price.”

get over it

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /

The Alicia Keys stans are crazy as fuck. The jealousy they have for Beyonce success is sick. Beyonce is more successful than her. Get over it. I never even hear about Alicia Keys. Mostly black folks know her. She is not international. Even Rihanna is more famous than her which is a damn shame because she been out a much shorter period than Alicia Keys.

The fact that Alicia got the song yet all the comments are about Beyonce speaks for itself. Beyonce will always have more power than Alicia Keys. Alicia stans need to just accept it.

Beyonce has performed with all the legends and been complimented by all the legends more than Alicia has. Beyonce has covered everything. Music, movies, fashion, endorsements, everything. To think that Alicia is more successful than Beyonce is ludicrous. Beyonce is known all over the world and is talked about 24/7. Look how just a “rumor” about her getting this song blew up.

LMAO at Alicia stans getting excited at the thought of Alicia beating Beyonce on this. Sorry but Beyonce was never going to do the song. Look up the definition of rumor. LMAO at Alicia stans spending more time talking about Beyonce than Alicia. Enough said.

Beyonce and Alicia are both the best

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /

#149 rihanna is on top of the world? ROTFLMAO!!! GTFOH. She will never be on Beyonce and Alicia Keys level. You rihanna stans are too funny.

Anyway people why are you trying to put Beyonce and Alicia against each other? They are both successful and on top. Not one is better than the other. Some Alicia fans are being hypocrites though. Alicia wears weave sometimes and shakes her ass sometimes too. I like both artists and neither one of them are going anywhere any time soon.
Let’s be greatful for both Beyonce and Alicia Keys. Especially when there are no talents like Rihanna and Cassie out here.

Beyonce is the reason that people hate her. She got so big headed during the whole Dreamgirls promotion. She had this arrogance like the movie and the part of Deena was made just for her. She started making comments like I want to be the first black women to win a Grammy, Oscar and Tony (if she had done her homework, she would have known that was already accomplished by Whoopi Goldberg); her jealousy and back handed comments towards J-Hud because she got the praise for the Dreamgirls movie; her saturating the market in 2007 because she wanted to dethrone Michael Jackson as the world’s greatest entertainer and her stupid comments like ” I wish I was born Latina.”

She walks around like everything is about her and she is the best thing since sliced bread. She just knew she was going to win an Oscar. Instead she got egg on her face for counting the chickens before the eggs hatched. She is a good performer, but she is not the best. Hopefully her next album will have mature lyrics and quality music. Not crap like Freakum Dress.

@ 149,

Bitch please. I meant that only the greatest have HATERS constantly throwing bullets at them to get them off the thrown. If you’re whack people are just not going to like you and won’t waste time arguing and there will be no arguements. FOLLOWING, GREAT. Cassie and the rest of them are NOT LIKED not HATED ON. You don’t see millions of arguements about them because people just dont like them, and it’s that simple. You may see some arguements but definitley not like Beyonce, that’s another record for her. HATERS are trying to prove a point because they feel threatened that that person is competition for their favorite artist. I didn’t think I had to break it down into 6th grade formation for you. How old are you?? Like 12, damn. And I hardly got what you were tying to say, does your computer have periods? Commas?

156.

lmao at the delusional haters

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /

#153 you need some serious help. What the hell does all that have to do with this topic. I think you Beyonce haters are sick. You seem obsessed. You didn’t even comment on the topic. I think you are the reason Beyonce is Forbes. You not doing nothing but giving her more web hits. Keep em coming.

Besides Jhud got the short end of the stick. We rarely even hear about Jhud and she played an assitant in SITC and nobody cared about her part. Only Jessica and the other girls. Meanwhile Beyonce gets talked about every day and she has 2 movies coming out and she not playing anybody assistant in any of them.

You seem delusional. If everybody hated her then she would not be the most successful blk woman in music of this decade. Mariah ruled the 1990’s and Beyonce has been ruleing the 2000’s. She is way more successful than Jhud and whoever your favorite artist is.

Beyonce haters need to just give up already. Beyonce stays winning. Ya’ll been hating on her for almost 11 years now and she still ain’t gone nowhere. Let that be a lesson to you. She not going nowhere and will be talked about for years to come. Now go cry a river over it.

I NEVER COMMENT ON THIS SITE BUT I HAD TO SAY THIS. I AM NOT A HUGE BEYONCE FAN BUT THE JEALOUSY AND HATRED SOME OF YOU HAVE FOR HER IS RIDICULOUS. I DOUBT WHOEVER YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST IS IS PERFECT. IT’S SAD WHEN YOU HATE BEYONCE SO MUCH THAT YOU HAVE TO TRY AND FIND ANY FLAW SHE HAS. I NOTICED THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO DONT LIKE HER ARE FANS OF OTHER FEMALE ARTISTS WHO ARE NOT DOING AS WELL AS HER. GET A LIFE. SHE IS A TALENTED BLACK WOMAN DOING HER THING. SOME OF THESE COMMENTS ARE SO SAD AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOPIC.

@156

100% agree. People have been hating on her for the past 11 years and she has been doing nothing but getting even more famous. I’m wondering of they just don’t see the pattern?? BECAUSE YALL STUPID ASSES ARE HATING BEYONCE IS SHINING!!

MRS.JONES

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /

ONE MORE THING. THE ONLY REASON I AM DEFENDING BEYONCE IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO BASH HER AND SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS TOPIC. THIS TOPIC IS SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT ALICIA KEYS, SOLANGE, AND CIARA.

Congratulations to Alicia. James Bond is a big deal.

Ciara looks nice in that picture. That girl is one hell of a dancer.

Solange has an edgy side to her. Love it and I like her song and video. Very cute and different. Sistas doing the thing in this business.

I respect Alicia Keys as an artist, but her voice won’t be good for a bond theme. I was hoping that my girl Amy Winehouse would straighten up and do it, but that didn’t happen. I’m also glad that YOU KNOW WHO didn’t get it!!! She’s too damn famous and overrated.

I didn’t bother to watch the Solange video because I just don’t care for her.

Ciara looks horrible on the cover! I’m mad that they tried to make her look very light skinned! She looks pale and sick and her face looks drag queenish.

Its funny that some fans will go out of their ways to create a controversy in a desperate attempt to bring their idols name in a post that have Nothing to do with them
I’m an Alicia’s Admirer and as much as we are we never ever ever Put down someone else to make Alicia look better then them because her accomplishment speak for themselves so therefore #10 you know who you’re stanning for and your real intentions
by starting this whole mess

At the end of the day even if you sold 6.000.000.000 albums it do not matter if you did it by being an “It” girl Alicia keys is incomparable don’t expect anyone to worship her She is the most successful superwoman/artist of my generation and that’s the way it is

madonna once sang the theme so i don’t think it has to go to a yeller.

anyone comparing beyonce sales to alicia is delusional. alicia out sells her in every way

finally, ciara is bizzack can’t wait

172.

realtalk

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /

^^^clearly you are delusional. beyonce outsells alicia in every way record sales, fame, power, etc. beyonce kills her on every level.

alicia is overrated as hell. her stans act like she is some perfect saint or something. this cock eyed bitch strains all the time. i dont consider that singing. and she sounded a hot mess at the BET awards. that’s why she had to bring those girl groups out to save her performance. beyonce can put on a gown and sing her heart out and get a standing ovation by herself i.e 2004 grammy’s. no comparison.

alicia is not no best of this generation.gtfoh have you not heard of mary j blige mariah carey etc? alicia not even a great singer. brian is right about her voice. her stans started this whole mess anyway. obviously they are threatened as hell by beyonce or else they wouldn’t be talking about her when she has nothing to do with this.

173.

Britt

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /

I agree Alicia doesnt have a strong enough voice for a bond song. Beyonce or Amy Winehouse voices would suit it better.

I didnt watch Solange video. Beyonce has waaaaay more personality than Solange but people freak out whenever she so much as takes a dump so she can never put herself out there like Solange can.

Ciara looks awfully skinny on that cover. She need to eat.

No comment on the stupid arguments.

Keyshia

Akeys has sold more albums than Beyonce as a solo artists and she has more grammies than Beyonce. This is a fact. if you don’t believe me look it up on Billboard.
Beyonce is more popular and has a wider range.

Now are we even move the hell on.

Rihanna can’t even compete so why is she even mentioned. Her first two albums flopped and her third one didn’t sell as much as it should’ve so they had to rerelease.

Brian I also find it strange that you say that about Alicia, but yet you gush over, Rihanna, Solange,Ciara and a bunch of others with little to no vocal range. What’s up with that.

176.

WTF?!?!

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /

I know people dont like to include Beyonce’s DC group sales, but they very much do count. She was the lead singer after all.
So technically she has sold more than Alicia Keys.

But that doesnt matter cause they’re both great talent. Alicia and Beyonce are 2 of only 4 people to win 5 Grammy’s in one night.

Congrats to AK that’s my girl I still Jam Songs In A minor and The Life is forever my jam..
Not really a fan of Solange her music does remind of Amy Winehouse stylewise.. I may cop that cd if it is under $10 at Target or Best Buy. After my first listen on Itunes.
Ciara I can’t wait for her next cd I think she is a good performer vocally not that good but she can dance and I like the fact that her dancing is choreagraphed the way Janet’s is.

Alicia: She’s definately doing her thing Big Up’s to Her

Solange: I dont want to sound like a hater, but i just dont like her. I love her style & how she dresses, but I mean what is she famous for besides being Beyonce’s sister & getting married cause she had that baby

Ciara:She needs to come back out hard but she looks so pale on this cover

I see Solange is still going out of her way to be “anti-Beyonce,” “real,” and, I’ve got to laugh on this one, “different.” GTFOH! Solange honey, using curse words in your little videos and interviews doesn’t make you “real.” It makes you a wannabe whose trying way too hard. Calm down a bit. But just to say something nice, your makeup looks good in this video.

Everyone is basing Alicia’s vocals on her pitchy BET performance, and that is so sad! Everyone who is saying she sings bad, only has seen that and not anything else. She had just finished her last show of tour, which was two months long before she performed at the BET awards so I’m sure that was the reason for her vocals to sound very offfff.

Get a grip people.

Finally we’re hearing from my girl Cici! It’s like she’s gone on a hiatus or something lol. no new stuff, no appearances, nothing. she’s sooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous, hence the new modeling contract. go cici!
