Kelly Rowland Set For X-Factor?
Rumours surrounding who will be the next X-Factor judge or who will be the judges on the American version have been running wild for a while now. One name that has surfaced on a consistent basis is my girl Kelly Rowland.

It hasn’t been confirmed that she is to appear on the US incarnation of the show however according to new reports she is indeed destined to make an appearance on the UK edition during judge’s houses. It has been reported that Simon Cowell himself has hand picked the ‘Commander’ singer along with music mogul Clive Davis.
In whatever capacity we see Ms Kelly on the show all I can hope for is that it gives her a good promotional push and creates interest in her forthcoming as yet untitled album. I am firmly in her corner and wishing that she does exceptionally well this go round. With all these less talented imposters taking over the charts it’s only fair that someone with real singing talent should get their shine.
Lady Gaga Considering A Release Of Two Albums Next Year
Lady Gaga has become a force to be reckoned and this within the space of two years. She has managed to evoke feelings within people which makes them want to buy her records, something a lot of artists have found difficult in recent years due to the declining sales in the music industry.
Whether or you like her music you cannot deny the amazing atonements she has made in such a short space of time and it only looks set to continue. During an interview with Ryan Seacrest she explained that although she has previously stated that her next album is virtually completed, she has gone back into the studio and started to record more music thus hinting she may release two records in 2011.
She sited that the overturning of the California’s Proposition 8 last week has given her a new lease of life in regards to her music.
“I felt like it was a revolution, like a gunshot went off, like it set us all into rotation,” Gaga said. “It was so exciting when it happened because it, for me, was a moment that indicated that it could happen in every state now…I was so happy and I went into the studio and kept writing [new music].”
She continued on to talk about how the new music would affect her forthcoming third album, that she has said in past interviews was already complete.
“I know I told everybody my album was done, which is it kinda is done, but I can’t stop writing music. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I might have to put out two records.”
Though I do commend Gaga for all the success she has been fortunate enough to receive I honestly hope that she doesn’t go ahead with this idea. Two Gaga albums in one year may be just a little two much. With the release of her debut in 2008 and her sophomore album in 2009 I already feel as if we have had enough of her for now so come 2011 I will be in Gaga overload. Exposure is a good thing but too much exposure can prove to be detrimental something she and her camp should be aware of.
Ciara Clears Up ‘Basic Instincts’ Delay Issues
With all the delays in the world postponing the release of her last effort Fantasy Ride (a factor I feel contributed to the underwhelming sales performance of the record) the news of delays occurring on this new album sure did hit a sore note. However Ciara has gone on record to say that the delays are for good reasons and there is nothing to worry about.
Cynical I may be about the real reasoning behind the delays, one can only hope that what Ciara says is the truth because she is another artist that I feel needs to come hard with this new record. With the music industry being so harsh, I can only see a release of contract should this new album not perform to the expectations placed on it. An outcome I would certainly hate to see.
Kanye West To Perform At VMA’s
It’s funny how so much can change in just one year. After storming on the stage, to speak some home truths in my opinion, at last years VMA’s and interrupting what was a pretty boring Taylor Swift acceptance speech Kanye West became public enemy no1. One year on and the man is back to jump up on stage, only this time he has been invited. The controversial yet oh so humours superstar is set to perform at this years’ event which will take place on September 12th.
