Shontelle gets all licky-licky on her sophomore album, Licky. The clubs are sure to love this one -- full of heavy bass and tons of autotune.
Robin Thicke sure does love the ladies. Here's another sexy one from Cupid himself...
GaGa and Beyoncé draw at dusk. The hot and spicy video for B's "Video Phone" remix is here and Lady GaGa is the only crazy bitch who can dance next to this Diva. Uber-sexy, the ladies are playing with big guns and bringin' it in-yo-face! Here's your new obsession, you're welcome.
New video from the She Wolf and the Alien! Gotta say, Shakira always comes through with the moves and Weezy always brings the crazy... and creepy, seductive looks. Enjoy!
Britney's life may be one big circus, but Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger lives in a zoo. I'm guessing she just loves animal lust.. peep the new Timbaland-produced track.
New track from the R&B sensation that is Ne-Yo. Smooth, simple, likeable -- listen to "Heartbreakers."
Looking for love? Well, it's apparently found at Yankee Stadium. The videos seems so sweet and innocent and who doesn't love little kids appreciating their parents and young couples in love. Then, Hype spans out on Mariah and we see some ill-chosen thigh highs... there goes the innocence.
Chillen outside a Popeyes and having a rap-a-long, Clipse and Cam'Ron are back. Watch the new video for "Popular Demand (Popeyes)."
Can't. Stop. Singing. DC Hip-Hop's got me clapping and singing all day. This UCB and Wale video premiered earlier this month and never got old! Directed by Rik Cordero "Pat Your Weave" salon-tastic fun! "Pat your weave, ladies! Pat, pat!"
The Black Eyed Peas, in all their radio glory, performed on Saturday Night Live. Sadly, [appropriately] BEP was cut off as credits rolled over their last performance of the night -- perfectly covering over Fergie's camera time. Ouch. Watch the act.
"I Got A Feeling"
"Boom Boom Pow"
Why do OGs get so soft in their old age? Mad love for Snoop, but really? Why in the hell is he serving this weak ass shit?! SMH. Not even worth the play button.
Tit or Tat when it comes to video releases from the Rihanna camp. While Chris Brown sits around crying about his losses, Rihanna's battered, beaten and fighting off her demons. Well, Rihanna survives and the guy -- last bullet's for him.
Really want to see Alicia Keys in concert, but can’t justify buying that oddly expensive ticket? Well don’t. Billboard Live and its partner OWL.tv (Our World Live) along with Microsoft and MTV bring live concerts to users worldwide via live stream. Finally fans and artists will be reunited for free.99 and as if it couldn’t get better, no large heads, tall people or overly anxious annoying fans to ruin your concert experience. Self service drinks and food from the comfort of your own kitchen and hey, if you can’t catch the concert live, play it on demand.
Sounds like utopia, right? Well fans will have a great viewing experience depending on their bandwidth, but you can’t help to feel a loss of that in-person feeling when you see your favorite artist perform. There’s a personal connection to attending a live event, trying to get the best pictures and even some good video footage for your YouTube page. Sure, you’ll be in front of your computer singing along to songs, but have no fear, you won’t really be alone! Connect with others watching the same concert via Facebook and Twitter applications right on the page. Social media really is taking over our livelihoods.
And what does this mean for advertisers? More. Money. Billboard Live plans to reach 90 million people worldwide every week and advertisers better be ready to shift their budgets into the digital realm. Like any concert experience, users should be ready for heavy promotions, sponsorships and in-your-face marketing. It’s the price you pay for a free show. Billboard Live’s lineup is currently very, very short — Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, Imogen Heap, Usher, David Archuleta and Daughtry – expect more artists to be added soon.

Whatcha Say, Whatcha Say, Jason DeRulo?! Jason sits down with teen.com TV and talks music, Michael Jackson and wanting to be casted in Fame (say what?!). Press play...
There goes Diddy all over again -- dancing all up in the camera lense. Hip-Hop has changed a lot since the 90s -- skinny jeans, sweaters, autotune... but Diddy's still doing music videos set in tunnels where he can bounce around and get his face time. I guess if ain't broke, don't fix it.
Jay Sean -- the British import who crashed the Billboard charts thanks to Lil Wayne and Cash Money. Well, his first American solo album, All Or Nothing, is finally here and if you were expecting big things from the newbie, then you won't be so impressed. (Sorry, Jay! ::Fist Pound:: You're still a fellow Brownie and we're proud of you.) That aside, All Or Nothing has a few radio gems, some attempts at crooning, and the rest of the album is typical R&B.
Tracks like "Down" and "Do You Remember" are obvious hits -- we've heard them on nonstop radio play and danced to them every weekend. And with the hope of keeping his name alive on the charts, "Love Like This" and "Fire" sound pretty much same, but lack the heavy bass to be a real dance song. Funny how "Fiiire, Fiiire, Fiiire" sounds ridiculously like "Down, Down, Down." Sounds like Jay's still struggling to find his range and to fill a full-length album. "Ride It" a song Jay's well-known for overseas made the track list -- just through it in, why not?
Jay's beatboxing abilities and rapper qualities are mostly disregarded on this album. It seems the Cash Money and Universal team felt safer letting Jay be a lover and not a fighter. He's wooing his lady on "If I Ain't Got You" with the classic "Hush, Little Baby" lullaby paving the base for his hook. Jay is a true crooner and his sweet love songs "All Or Nothing," "Love Like This," and "Lights Off" are cute and fun, but in many cases, Jay sounds like the lost 6th Backstreet Boy. He sounds decent on his own, but you've got to wonder what five more cute guys dancing and harmonizing with him would sound like.
He begs for better days with his lady on "Stay" because he'd rather not be "Stuck In The Middle." Love is a tough and addicting game, Jay, but don't worry one day you'll find love. But until then Jay knows love is going to be full of "War" and "Cry"ing. As a new artist, Jay best tracks are those where he keeps us dancing. The love fest is nice, but All Or Nothing is an album you listen to alone on a rainy day.
Also, let is be known, Jay Sean, with a team, wrote every track on his album, yet publishes under his stage name and not his government. Why? Ain't no shame in Kamaljit Singh Jhooti! That is all.
The wait is over, the wait is o-v-a. the wait is OVER! "Swing if you're brave/There's so much power in my name." From the sound of it, Rihanna's ready to give Mr. Brown a red card for his foul play -- game's over and Rihanna's wins? We hope. Watch the new video from Eye-Patch RiRi!
