Eclectiques!!!!

Ce quatuor est tout simplement débile. Il nous transporte dans un monde irréel, où tout; les couleurs, les textures, les drogues, les températures, les sons, le temps, est irréel. Connus grâce à la célèbre Canadienne Nelly Furtado, mais surtout dû aux créateurs de mode qui les font blaster lors des catwalks (comme l’a fait l’incomparable Karl Lagerfeld); Fritz Helder & The Phantoms personnifient l’avant-gardisme; ce sont eux qui décident what’s in, et what’s not.

Ils m’inspirent les côtés de la mode qui sont irréels, qui représentent le rêve innateignable. Ils jouent un rôle du début jusqu’à la fin, avec leurs poses de haute couture, leur vulgarité obsédante et leurs expérimentations sonores exquises. En voici un exemple d’eux en show:

House of Helder est le blog du groupe, où ils font part de leurs epicness avant-gardiste. Si vous aimez la mode (surtout New-Yorkaise), jettez-y un coup d’oeil aux quelques jours; leurs perspectives, opinions, connaissances et humour en vallent vraiment la peine.

Voici leurs vidéos “Making A Scene” et “Lagerfeld Lady”. Leur chanson/video la plus connue est Making A Scene, mais je préfère Lagerfeld Lady à cause du location . ♥♥ always paris

Vezi:Timbaland/Nelly Furtado/SoShy .

Timbaland се завърна! На 7 декември гениалният продуцент ще издаде новия си албум – Shock Value 2, който освен уникалните бийтове и мелодии на Тимъти Моузли, ще включва и един от най-горещите имена на сцената в момента от най-различни стилове – през поп идолите Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry и Jojo, рок героите Daughtry, One Republic, Jet, китаристът на Nickelback – Chad Kroeger до рапърите Drake, Attitude и аренби принцесите Brandy и Keri Hilson. Да не забравяме и добре познатите приятели на Timbaland – Justin Timberlake и Nelly Furtado. Както се досещате, албумът най-вероятно ще бъде феноменален!

Със сигурност вече сте чули и пилотният сингъл към песента – Morning After Dark, в който прудцентът представя и новото си протеже – френската певица и композитор SoShy (Deborah Epstein). Песента се превърна в хит още в момента, в който бе издадена (преди около месец), а сега вече е готово и видеото към песента. То е дълго цели 7 минути, а сценарият му наподобява хитовата вампирска тийн-сага Twilight.

В албумната версия на песента пък чуваме и вокалите на самата Nelly Furtado!

Timbaland ist mittlerweile aus der Hip Hop- und R’n’B-Szene nicht mehr wegzudenken. Nach drei bombastischen Solo-Alben meldet er sich nach zweijähriger Pause mit dem „Timbaland presents Shock Value 2“ (Release: 27.11.) zurück. Okay, das ist erstmals nichts wirklich Neues – Timbaland macht das was er am besten kann…feinste Musik – aber dass er jetzt anscheinend auch noch zu den Twilight-Infizierten gehört, hätte man wohl nie gedacht!

Bei den American Music Awards vor ein paar Tagen hat Timbaland seine neue Single „Morning after dark“ mit Nelly Furtado und Soshy präsentiert. Gerüchten zufolge sollen die zwei Twilight-Stars Robert Pattinson und Kristen Stewart im Musikvideo zu diesem Song zu sehen sein. Mal sehen – hier könnt ihr erst mal den neuen Tunes von Timbaland lauschen:

Für das „Shock Value 2“-Album hat sich Timbaland wieder tatkräftige Unterstützung geholt – Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, The Fray, Chris Daughtry, Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), Brandy, Drake und Keri Hilson – sollen die Feature-Gäste der neuen LP sein. Der Multi-Platin-Produzent verrät in einem Interview: “I’m so fortunate and blessed to be able to create a Shock Value II. I’m really proud of the caliber of artists on this album and all the work they put into making it a success. I can promise that no one has ever heard Katy Perry, The Fray, or Brandy sound like this before. It’s exciting because not only am I giving fans the best of me on each track, I’m giving them a glimpse of their favorite artist in a completely different light. This is an album that can be listened to from start to finish every single time because each song is so unique and the range of artists so diverse. I can’t wait for my fans to hear the collaborations.”

An den Nachfolger von „Shock Value” (2007) sind also große Erwartungen gebunden, die Timbaland mit Sicherheit erfüllen oder sogar übertreffen wird. Der Rapper und Produzent versteht es schließlich den Nerv der (Musik-)Zeit zu treffen!

• DL: Kaleidoscope

My friend Bindu recently posted a question on her blog: “If your life were mixed tape, what songs would be on it?”  I thought the question was a good one, and I’ve decided to bring you my own mixed tape.  I’ll preface by saying that musically, it’s all over the map (but, I tend to be that way so it makes sense).

1. You Got It (The Right Stuff) – New Kids on the Block
   I think I was seven years old when I discovered NKOTB, and why my mom let me listen to them I’ll never know.  But, I do know that I was absolutely in love with Joey McIntyre and just sure that I was going to marry him.  So, instead of You Got It, I should probably have one of Joey’s high-pitched crooners up here, such as Please Don’t Go Girl.  And to add more weight as to why NKOTB is on this list, I saw them twice in concert in 2008 – once while standing in the rain at the Today Show and then when they came through DC on their tour. (Yes, I am crazy!)
2. Walkin’ After Midnight – Patsy Cline
   My list just wouldn’t be complete without this song.  As a child, whenever my cousin Rachelle and I would ride in my grandma’s car, Pasty Cline’s Greatest Hits album would have to be playing.  For some reason, as little girls, Rachelle and I loved listening to this.  We each had a favorite song.  My grandma loved Crazy, Rachelle would sing out to Back in Baby’s Arms, and I would belt out Walkin’ After Midnight.  A couple years ago I ended up buying this album on iTunes so I could recreate some childhood memories!
3. More Than a Feeling – Boston / Iron Man – Black Sabbath / Kryptonite – 3 Doors Down
   Yes, I know there are three songs here, but they sort of go together.  My junior year of high school, I met one of my good friends, Tiffany.  She was definitely different than the rest of the girls at Stanton High School, and after awhile we became attached at the hip.  Tiffany infused a little classic rock into my life.  We used to cruise back and forth to Omaha in her HUGE 1984 Buick listening to More than a Feeling and Kryptonite with the windows rolled down, wind blowing in our hair.  And how does Iron Man fit in?  Well, we figured out the melody line on our saxaphones much to our band director’s (and probably everyone else’s) annoyance!
4. Iowa State Fight Song
   This is kind of lame, but I really couldn’t think of any other song that represented my college years.  While I may have had grand ideas on where I wanted to go to college, I’m so glad that I chose ISU.  First off, it was just big enough for me to get lost in the crowd (something that never happens in a small town), and secondly, it was a life changing experience that helped shape who I am today.  I discovered Jesus in college, made lifelong friends and solidified my life goals and pursuits.  So, this one’s cheesy, but just go with it.
5. My Stupid Mouth – John Mayer
   This song is on here for two reasons.  One: Just like Mayer in this song, I have a tendency to stick my foot in my mouth, say things I don’t really mean, or just completely mess up what I say.  This is why I went to print journalism rather than broadcast.  It would be horrible!  Two:  I discovered John Mayer in college, and this song quickly became my favorite.  I probably traumatized my friend Amy because everytime she got in my car this cd would be playing.  Oddly, enough, six years later, John Mayer is still the cd in my car.  Some things never change.
6. Breakaway – Kelly Clarkson
   The first time I ever really listened to this song, I was immediately struck that it was all about me!  Here’s a sample of the lyrics: “Grew up in a small town / And when the rain would fall down / I’d just stare out my window / Dreaming of what could be . . . And I’ll make a wish / Take a chance / Make a change / And breakaway.”  As I moved away from Iowa on my own, first to Dallas and then on to DC, I felt that I made my own changes in life and did my own “breakaway.”
7. O Praise Him – David Crowder Band
   Not long after I started attending Frontline at McLean Bible Church, David Crowder Band put this song out.  I absolutely love this band; they are probably my favorite Christian group.  And this song to me is what it’s all about, to just praise God and the joyous noise we will be giving up to God in heaven.  I sometimes joke that I want David Crowder Band to have their own stage in heaven, because I’m going to be camped out right by them for eternity!
8. Say It Right – Nelly Furtado
   This song isn’t so much about what Nelly is singing about, but more about where I was when I first discovered this song.  I associate it with my mission trip to Romania, even though I heard the song in Budapest.  We were on the tail end of the trip, our last night to be exact, and had to leave for the airport at 4 in the morning.  So most of us decided that we would stay awake the entire night so we’d sleep on the long flight back to DC.  Well, if this was your last night in Europe and you were going to be awake anyway, you might as well explore the city at night, right?  A group of us ended up walking around the city the entire night.  We made a pit stop at what we thought was a jazz cafe on the isalnd in the middle of the Danube River.  Turns out it was a raving night club, and this song happened to be playing when we stopped and it just stuck with me.  I’d probably rank this night up there as one of the most memorable times in my life!
9. Glory Revealed – Candi Pearson-Shelton
   This song really spoke to me while I was in Burma.  One morning I was outside doing my quiet time.  Really, I was skimming through the book of Isaiah, when I came to chapter 40.  Verses 3-5 struck me as what we were doing in Burma:  A voice of one calling: “In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Our main objective was prayer walking on that trip, essentially preparing the way for the Lord.  Well, I soon realized that the CD our leaders had made for us had this song on it that is based on Isaiah 40.  It was really fitting, and everytime I listen to it, I’m brought back to our time in the mountains of Burma, where we literally forged our own path for God.
10. Home – Michael Buble
    This song is for all the times I’ve wanted to just pack my bags and jump on the next flight to Iowa.  For as much as I love living in DC and wouldn’t trade it for the world, when I’m home in Iowa, my stress melts away and I can just relax.  I probably sleep most of the time I’m home.  While getting my master’s at Georgetown, I made plans to go home at the end of every semester.  I went home more often in those two years than I ever had before.
11. Perfectly Lonely – John Mayer
    Yes, of course John Mayer is on here twice.  If I didn’t know that certain people would give me flack over it, I’m pretty sure all the songs could be John Mayer songs.  Well, this on is off his new album that came out last week.  And for those who know me well, you’d know the lyrics of this song sort of describe the self-imposed state of my heart right now.  But don’t think it’s too depressing, the song ends on a hopeful note, which is where I’m headed as well!

So, I’m going to continue Bindu’s question – if you had a mixed tape of your life, what would be on it?  And to answer Bindu’s other question – no I don’t have a theme to mine.  I told you it would be random!

Duas notícias sobre o mesmo assunto? Bora colocar no mesmo post.

Primeiro tem declaração da Nelly Furtado que, prestes a lançar novo CD, atacou Madonna para, claro, ganhar um espacinho a mais na mídia:

“Eu não estou pronta para esse ajuste físico para ser vendável. Ao contrário de Madonna, não vou fazer Pilates o dia inteiro para retardar a deterioração do meu corpo. Eu prefiro sentar na cozinha, beber chá e comer biscoitos”, afirmou Nelly Furtado.

Ok, gata. Daqui 20 anos a gente conversa.

- Desce uma rodada de formol pra galera!

Segundo que o famoso fotógrafo Steven Klein publicou em seu site o vídeo demo de “Get Stupid”, de Madonna. A versão final, que foi exibida durante um intervalo da turnê “Sticky & Sweet”, fala sobre destruição do planeta, consciência ecológica e personalidades boas e más.

O clipe é fraco e não tem retoques digitais, mas pelo menos não tem aquela felicidade falsa de “Celebration“, que parece uma propaganda da C&A nos anos 90. Vejam do que estou falando:

Versão demo:

Versão final:

Nelly Furtado está pê da vida, como diria aquele antigo sucesso do grupo Dominó. Segundo ela, tem jornalista querendo faturar em cima de mentiras. Mais precisamente, mentiras sobre a megaestrela Madonna.

Matéria publicada pelo site Pop Crunch traz declarações supostamente dadas por Nelly dizendo que Madonna não deveria se matar de fazer exercícios para aparentar uma juventude que não tem mais. Ela deveria se conformar com a sua idade.

Mais. Nelly, que tem 30 anos, teria dito que, quando tiver a idade atual de Madonna (51 anos), vai ficar do jeito que a idade lhe permitir, sem forçar a barra. Muito irritada, Nelly postou hoje a seguinte mensagem em seu profile no site de relacionamentos Twitter.

-Pensando: odeio ser mal interpretada. Pessoas ganhando dinheiro em cima de mim com matérias mentirosas. Eu nunca falei mal da Madonna. Nós somos amigas!

Madonna ainda não se manifestou a respeito, quem sabe já devidamente vacinada sobre esse tipo de confusão. Seja como for, a matéria do Pop Crunch é grande e tem várias declarações de Nelly entre aspas. O tempo dirá como isso irá acabar…

No momento, Nelly Furtado, canadense descentende de portugueses, divulga o CD Mi Plan, gravado em castelhano. Com mais de dez anos de carreira, a moça já teve disco no primeiro lugar da parada americana, e também gravou ao lado de Caetano Veloso.

Timbaland is back with another big record from his upcoming album, Shock Value 2. “Morning after Darkness” has that heavy Timbo production sound and sounds like the upcoming club banger. The hiphop producer/rapper teamed up with SoShy, who also appears in the video, and Nelly Furtado, and seemed to have gone T-Pain as well by using auto-tune. The official 7min video seemed to have the vampire theme, which reminded me of Twilight. Timbo plays a vampire in the video, but perfomance isn’t that convincing, he just does his usual facial expressions which i find more funny than scary. Overall, this record is big and watch out for the album Shock Value 2 coming out December 8th.  

Nelly Furtado has been around awhile and I’ve been dying to here a full album from her that was completely in Spanish. With the arrival of Mi Plan my prayers were answered. Now, I’m not usually a fan of albums that are fully in a different language but Nelly Furtado has convinced me.

Nelly says:

“‘Mi Plan’ is my first full collection of Spanish-language pop songs,” Nelly says of the new album. “The songs explore themes of love and the rhythm of everyday life. The featured special guests will also add aunique touch to the album’s sound. And I am delighted to be working with the entire Universal Latin team on this new project.”

Those special guests she mentioned are none other than, Julieta Vengas, La Mala Rodriguez, and Alejandro Fernandez.  Julieta an La Mala can be heard featured on “Bajo Otra Luz,” and Alejandro on the song “Suenos (Dreams), ” which is one of my favorite songs on the cd besides “Mas.” My top picks off this album are:

• “Mas”
• “Manos Al Aire”
• “Suenos (Dreams)” feat. Alejandro Fernandez

“Mas” is my favorite song on the album for the simple fact that it’s probably the most pop song on the album and definitely takes on a theme of moodiness mixed in with some guitar and synth. In this song Nelly is begging for “Mas”, meaning more in Spanish, love, attention, and appreciation.

Nelly says:

“This song is about love and wanting more out of a relationship, and not feeling like you’re an equal half. And, I believe in relationship you need to be equal halves.”

Overall, I think the album is a success in my book and is worthy of being downloaded, and if you don’t want the whole album just download the songs I listed and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Below is the video for her second single off the album, “Mas.”

A canadiana Nelly Furtado vai estar na próxima quinta-feira, pelas 22h00, no palco do Coliseu de Lisboa, no âmbito da iniciativa «secret shows» da Optimus. A primeira parte estará a carggo de  Margarida Pinto. A entrada para o espectáculo é gratuita.

Last Nights 2009 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS were by far the most entertaining they have been in years! I mean, where do I start? At The Beginning …

JANET JACKSON, baby sister of the King Of Pop, opened the show with an eight minute medley of her most popular classic hits, including her New joint Make Me. As always, Janet’s performance was great to see. However, the extra pounds she’s carrying made it difficult for her to execute her dance routine with the same precision she once did back in the day. Not that all hope is lost. She just needs to tone it up a bit & she’ll be right back where she needs to be.

Shakira; I liked her performance. But at times I was confused trying to figure out whether or not she was trying to stomp the yard. I don’t know, whatever she does always seems to work for her.

Black Eyed Peas are always on that High Energy Shit! If you aint ready to get up & aerobicize with them, I don’t know. I just didn’t know what to make of Will.I.Am’s hair. He had this James Brown/Elvis Presley thing that seemed to work for him. He’s another one who ALWAYS makes it work for him. He’s eccentric & I love it & it exemplifies what real Hip-Hop is all about- Telling your truth in your Own skin.

Jay-Z & Alicia Keys were BRILLIANT! I’ve had a Love/Hate Relationship with Jay since the inception of his career. Which is actually great if you think about it because most artist don’t have the longevity to hold the public’s interest to even matter to them. But on this joint I really feel like Jay can usher us in to Adult Contemporary Hip-Hop. You know, where you can be a grown man & still rep & celebrate the culture you helped build, without having to imitate some adolescent school boy. And adding Alicia to this mix was nothing short of Genius, seeing how that’s what she is! She adds s gritty edge + ‘hood sophistication which is making this a Huge crossover success. No other singer could have pulled this off & come up with the same results.

Rihanna made her “return” last night to the music scene, as ABC continually reminded us. She did great, she looked great ( I still could have done her hair), but I still feel as though she could have given us more. After her ordeal, she laid low in the cut and chilled. Then, when she finally spoke on it two weeks ago, I expected her to be able to move on in such a way that her return would be triumphant! Nah. She came with it, but something just didn’t connect. She needs to regroup, refocus, & REALLY come out swinging!

Lady Gaga- Man listen, I am really starting to feel her as an artist. But ya know, … I just never really know what to expect from her. Not that we should and that’s what sets her a part from the rest. She gives it 110% each & every time. But I must say that as a christian woman, I just always feel in the need of prayer around her. Grab your holy water & crucifix ’cause her presence makes me uneasy … but I like it!

J-Lo (crickets) (crickets) (crickets) Personally, I didn’t know she had anything New in rotation. The song is cute, but she just isn’t that “IT” girl any more. She used to be a “Fly Girl” on the hit Fox 5 variety show “In Living Color”. But last night, I saw her dancing with the stiff movements of someone battling arthritis. And when she fell …..
Good Night, that’s all she wrote.

Mary J. Blige- SUPERB! No propaganda, no frills, no bells & whistles. Just good old fashioned, solid, pure r&b singing. Mary has stood our test of time & has solidified her position as forever being the Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul!

Whitney Houston- LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Whitney came back sounding Great & looked absolutely Stunning. May not have hit the high notes of her past, but she’s definitely not where the Haterz & NaySayers want her to be!

Eminem & 50 Cent performed, which was great to see … And that about it! I mean really, they did their thing. No Drama, No Extra Curricula Activity. They came to do what they promised, got their check & bounced.

Alicia Keys performed solo. Still BRILLIANT! Beautiful inside & out, nothing you can take away from her.

Timbaland ft. Nelly Furtado & So-Shy- (Takes Deep Breath) Tim, at one time was on some real health & fitness. Last Night, he looked like his cohort, Missy Elliott in her 1997 video “I Can’t Stand The Rain”. That’s about it. Nothing to see here. Keep it moving.

Adam Lambert- Okay, this SonBytch pissed me off. Gay or Straight, sometimes you just gotta know when to reel it in a little. Not everything is for everybody. Women & men Crawling around on the floor. Women in chains. For real Adam? For Real? He had this Elvis Presley meets Boy George thing going on that gave me a HeadAche. Totally inappropriate. Totally crossing a line. Small wonder “Boy Presley” did not win American Idol.

….. And that’s my recap. Good Day. God Bless. I’m Going Home.

-”The BklynBandette”. Mr. Hollywood’s Co-Defendant!

Toda segunda vou escolher um Red Carpet que rolou no fim de semana anterior para mostrar os looks das celebrities. E o evento dessa semana foi o American Music Awards, que rolou domingo dia 22/11/2009.

Separei os looks por cores, e olha só o que rolou por lá.

O nude continua em alta, seja no longo rendado de Nicole Kidman ou no cinto de Kristen Bell. Meus favoritos com certeza!

O pretinho básico aparece não tão básico assim em longos e curtos, bordados ou lisos.

O preto apareceu também acompanhado de muito brilho.

Os tons marrons apareceram misturados entre si, ou com o preto de J.Lo.

Cores vibrantes ganharam destaque em duas versões.

E é claro que o figurino de Lady Gaga e Rihanna no palco precisavam chamar atenção.

The 2009 American Music Awards crammed over 15 top-notch performances into three hours, making for some must-see TV. The late Michael Jackson won four awards, but the night’s biggest winner was Taylor Swift, who acknowledged the King of Pop in her acceptance speech: “Music has never been openly about competition and to even be mentioned in a category withMichael Jackson, who will be missed and loved forever, is an unimaginable honor,” said the 19-year-old country music star.

Plus, Janet Jackson opened the show with a medley of her greatest hits, Whitney Houston was presented with the International Artist Award, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys channeled Ol’ Blue Eyes, Timbaland and Nelly Furtado reunited onstage, Eminem and 50 Cent “Crack[ed] a Bottle,” and Jennifer Lopez tumbled, but did not crumble in her “Louboutins.”

Ok – it’s Monday. Who REALLY likes Mondays? Not many of us I presume. This Monday is going to be different. Why? Because this post is going to be all about Tiesto! (Sorry in advance to those of you who are not fans). In anticipation for Tiesto’s slew of performances this coming week at LA’s Shrine Auditorium, I wanted to get everyone pumped up for the show – yes that includes MYSELF! I could literally sit here and name all of Tiesto’s top songs, my favorites, or best collaborations, but there’s not time for that. Since he just released new album Kaleidoscope in October 2009, I will be listing my favorite tracks off this new cd. Just as David Guetta’s new album featured numerous collaborations, Kaleidoscope spans a wide range of guest vocalists. This post won’t have any song descriptions, but a small blurb of lyrics (since I am a sucker for those). Ok, less talking and more music. Here we go.

Knock You Out feat. Emily Haines

Somebody to rough you up/Somebody to make it tough/Somebody to bait you/Somebody to love

Here on Earth feat. Carey Brothers

And the closer that you get, with the force of all the weight/And it’s also clear, do you want to feel her

Escape Me feat. CC Sheffield

Pierce my lips/Don’t shred me down to strips/You’re way too good at it/You’re way too good at it/Escape me

I will be Here feat. Sneaky Sound System

When the big road falls apart/And you think that the feeling will linger/You need somewhere to start
I will be here

I am Strong feat. Priscilla Ahn

Look at me, here I am (I am strong)/Reaching for your arms again/Saw the hurt and all the pain (I am strong now)/And get back on my feet again/(I am strong now)

Who wants to Be Alone feat. Nelly Furtado

But with that moon in the sky/Who wants to be alone/And when the stars shine so bright/Who wants to be alone/Don’t take me home/Til the sun comes up till the sun comes up

Feel it in my Bones feat. Tegan and Sara

I feel you in my bones/You’re knocking at my windows/You’re slow to letting me go/And I know this feeling also/This feeling in my bones
