Christina Aguilera's New Video...hmmmm?
I love Christina, I really do. She is so talented and I believe her best work is yet to come. I like the new song, it's cute... and NO I don't think it sounds so much like Lady GaGa as people are saying. If anything it is echoing Goldfrapp quite honestly. But, not in a mimicking way...it's still Xtina, just with that feel. But this new video..
A friend of mine is always saying people got shafted by someone when something comes out so awful. I usually don't agree with her, but this video is some obvious calculated shade thrown at my girl. It is way beneath her. I am such a fan... but watching this is painful. I don't think I can ever look again without my drink of the moment (an Orgasm)
Take a look, you guys judge...is it just me?

Jennifer sings for the crew...
Jennifer Hudson on the set of her latest movie The Secret Life Of Bees singing accapella for the crew. They of cousre break out in applause. This girl ceases to amaze me. I love her voice, it's truly a gift from God. She is the real deal. She doesn't even need any music, just amazing on the spur of the moment! Almost makes me want to go and see this movie!

Jennifer Has Arrived!
Jennifer Hudson has finally released her long awaited debut album. And it is quite delicious if I may say so myself. I was so scared of what they may do with her. Some of her fellow Idols have had less than stellar debut albums in my opinion. Katharine McPhee comes to mind. I was so afraid they were going to give her all this "..And I'm Telling You.." ish sounding stuff, which would have been a huge mistake. But Clive Davis realized what I did (and many others) that this is a young woman with such an amazing instrument that given the right guidance she could do anything. While the album has a decidedly R&B sound it doesn't suffer from sounding all the same, and certain songs do have that elusive crossover appeal. Listening to the album it's amazing to realize that being in her mid twenties this is only the tip of the iceberg. As her voice grows, matures and gains more control she will truly be someone to be reckoned with for years to come. It will be lovely seeing this young lady grow. There's only one major mistake on the entire project and that is a track called "Pocketbook". Frankly it sounds foolish amidst all the other meticulously crafted songs. Then there's the duet with Fantasia. Good idea, nice attempt... it's nice but it's not half of what one would expect from these two very talented ladies . Doesn't quite do it.
The rest are a mix of good R&B, Pop friendly songs that gives you a sample of what she's capable of. Stand out tracks to me are Invisible, My Heart, We Gon' Fight, If This Isn't Love and To Love Somebody.
Now it's time for Jennifer to shine in the Spotlight!
