Lisa Marie Presley Waves Goodbye To Scientology Through Her New Single !

Much like "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", Lisa Marie Presley's 5th track on the album "Storm & Grace" is sultry and moody in the best way possible. After listening to the lyrics to "So Long though", it's pretty clear that she's waving goodbye to her former religion. ( Scientology )



Although she's been a faithful member of"L. Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientology" since her childhood, she's moving on and is telling us all why one verse at a time.

Check out the lyrics below to Lisa Marie Presley's song "So Long" from her newest album, which drops on May 15th. Lisa said farewell to the churches that "don't have a soul" … AFTER THE JUMP!

So Long

    This here is a city without lights
    Those are all the people without eyes
    Churches, they don't have a soul
    Soup for sale without a bowl
    Religion so corrupt and running lives
    Farewell, fair weathered friends
    I can't say I'll miss you in the end

    Chorus:
    So long, seems that I was so wrong
    Seems I wasn't that strong
    Dead wrong, and now I'm long gone
    Wrong side, I've been sleeping on the wrong side
    Stains all over my soul I can't hide
    Nothing's more clear than goodbye

    These roads they don't lead to anything
    These people they talk, they say nothing
    Actors who don't have a part
    Heartfelt people with no heart
    I'll find a new crowd
    Make a new start
    Farewell, fair weathered friends
    I can't say I'll miss you in the end

    (Chorus)

    So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, say nothing at all if you've nothing nice to say.

What do you think of Lisa Marie's lyrics about Scientology?

Freddie Mercury Performs Live At The "We Will Rock You" Musical !

There are rumors that Freddie Mercury is returning to the stage just like Tupac did!




Unlike Tupac's recent Coachella collaboration with Snoop Dogg, the legendary frontman of "Queen" will not be seen as a hologram, but rather "an optical illusion."

It's probably going to be amazing because guitarist Brian May stated "People will come out saying, "did we actually see Freddie?"

It has to be mentioned that the stunt will take place on May 14th at "London's Dominion Theatre" during the 10th anniversary of the musical "We Will Rock You", a show based on the band's music.

It turns out that the band has been planning for Freddie to appear on stage again for quite some time. Brian May was actually a little bummed that Dr. Dre beat "Queen" to the punch with the Tupac hologram and explained:






    "It's a little unfortunate they did that thing with Tupac as we've been trying to make Freddie appear on the stage for quite a while. The hologram technique is something we've looked at ourselves but I think probably for a show that runs eight shows a week it's not really practical."

Are you excited about the fact that you will watch Freddie's "optical illusion" in action??

Jennifer Lopez One Love

Jennifer Lopez's "One Love" is a song included on Jennifer Lopez' seventh studio album "Love?" Just for the record, the album was released on April 28, 2011. Produced during the pregnancy of her twins Emme and Max, Love? is Lopez's most personal album to date, taking inspiration from the birth of her twins and her own experiences with love. It has to be said that recording for the album began in 2009.


The contemporary R&B song "One Love" was written by Lopez, Anesha Birchett, Antea Shelton and Emile "D'Mile" Dernst II, the song's producer.

"One Love" received generally positive acclaim from music critics who cited it as a stand-out track on Love? Critics made note of the song's indirect manner, which had references to Lopez's ex-boyfriends and husbands, such as Sean Combs and Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez's "One Love" lyrics are displayed below. Enjoy...

ook a shot, with the bad boy from the block
picked my love right from the start
mister wrong, he plays his part
back to the beginning, now round two
try my luck with something new
we danced until we said "I do"
my luck is bad, no more us, too
no me and you

[Chorus]
is it too much to ask
for a real love,
something that'll last?
is there one love,
only once in a lifetime?
it's so hard to find,
the perfect one to call mine
is there one love
somebody that compliments me?
and makes me wanna never leave?
made just right for me?
is there one love, one love, one love, one love?


it's take three, could there be a part for me?
came and swept me off my feet
went nowhere but kept the ring
once again i'm lonely
number four, he sang to me but i'm not sure
so worn out, but love just saw
made me wanna try once more
and i couldn't say no

[Chorus]

what's wrong with the girl
wanting everything
good love, real trust, true meaning?
who truly completes me?
i'm good on my own, but i have to know

is there one love
only once in a lifetime?
it's so hard to find,
the perfect one to call mine
is there one love
somebody that compliments me?
and makes me wanna never leave?
made just right for me?
is there one love, one love, one love, one love?

When asked if she would work with Adele she claimed: "Yes, I would love to. I would love to meet her, I think she’s brilliant, I love her."



She added: "I wanted her to be in the Super Bowl with me, but I think she was having her throat problem or throat operation or something."

Adam Lambert Is Officially The Frontman Of Queen !!!

Queen legendary rocker Brian May is adamant late legend Freddie Mercury would give singer Adam Lambert the "seal of approval" as the eccentric star prepares to front the band at an upcoming festival.



The former "American Idol" contestant will perform in Mercury's place when Queen headline the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth over the summer.

And guitarist May insists the band's iconic star, who passed away in 1991, would be happy with their latest addition.


He states: "Judging by my incoming mail, this decision will make a lot of people very happy. It's a worthy challenge for us, and I'm sure Adam would meet with Freddie's approval! And what better place to revisit, and walk those emotional paths than Knebworth? It will be a rush."


 Lambert admits he can't wait to get on stage with his heroes, adding: "I'm completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon. The thought of sharing the stage for a full set is so beautifully surreal. I'm honoured to be able to pay my respects to Freddie's memory. He's a personal hero of mine and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know the evening will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger (Taylor, drummer) and the rest of the band I know magic will be on display."

 It has to be mentioned Lambert previously performed with the surviving members of Queen at the MTV European Music Awards in November.

"Glee" Star Pays Tribute to Whitney Houston !

Amber Riley's Glee cover of "I Will Always Love You" by the late Whitney Houston has been unveiled.



The 25-year-old's character Mercedes Jones performed the track in the Fox sitcom's Valentine's Day special, which aired in the US last night.

Riley's tribute had been planned long before Houston passed away at the Beverly Hilton this weekend at the age of 48. 

As previously reported, the episode was tweaked to pay tribute to Whitney Houston, with the show closing on a title card reading: "Whitney Houston 1963-2012. We will always love you."




After watching her Glee performance, Riley wrote on Twitter: "Ok I got through it, only minimal tears. I hope you are proud Ms. Houston. :) thanks guys for the kind words."

Her co-star Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel) also praised Riley's rendition on the social networking site, telling her: "'I Will Always Love You,' best part of my life. Ms. Houston is bragging about you in heaven."




Speaking about her adoration for Houston at this weekend's Grammy Awards, Riley explained: "Whitney's music meant so very much to me. I was very very choked-up when I heard about her passing.

"I'd grown up listening to her voice ringing out throughout our household. I'm so speechless, I can't believe that she passed."

How did you find Riley's tribute to Whitney Houston?

For me it was awesome. I could even say that it was by far better than Jennifer Hudson's rendition at the Grammys!

Will Madonna Face Lawsuit Over "Give Me All Your Luvin'" ??

Madonna may face a lawsuit over her latest single "Give Me All Your Luvin'".





 Brazilian singer Joao Brasil claims that the track's chorus contains elements from his song 'L.O.V.E. Banana'.



Brasil's record company are thinking of a possible lawsuit over the track, however Brasil himself has revealed he would rather not face off against the singer.


"I still don't understand what happened. I'm a huge fan of hers. If it's plagiarism, then even better. She is always at the cutting edge of music, so it's a good sign about what I do," he told Brazilian newspaper Folha da Sao Pauolo.



"It's in [the record label's] hands, they're looking at how to proceed and what they can do. But personally I don't want to do anything. The last thing I need in my life is a fight with Madonna."

Well, I heard the song. It's obvious there is a huge similarity between Madonna's song and Joao Brasil on the track's chorus. Madonna will laugh so hard if she ever faces a lawsuit by this Brazilian singer. The "L.O.V.E Banana" song is unbeleivably ridiculous. The video clip is inexcusable. Even Rebecca Black seems a genius when you watch this video clip...Where is QUALITY?

Dolly Parton's Statements About The Grammys And Whitney Houston

"I was brought to tears again last night, as I'm sure many were, when Jennifer Hudson sang "I Will Always Love You" on the Grammys in memory of Whitney," Dolly Parton , who originally the song in 1974 , revealed to "Access Hollywood" on Monday.



"Like everybody else, I am still in shock. But I know that Whitney will live forever in all the great music that she left behind. I will always have a very special piece of her in the song we shared together and had the good fortune to share with the world," Dolly's statement continued. "Rest in peace, Whitney. Again, we will always love you."


It has to be mentioned  that  Dolly  Parton originally wrote the song in June 1973 for her longtime partner and mentor Porter Wagoner , achieving her own chart success, hitting #1 twice with the song on the Billboard country charts.

Why Was Jennifer Hudson Chosen For Whitney Houston Tribute ?

Following the sudden death of Whitney Houston, producers of the Grammy Awards made the last-minute decision to invite Jennifer Hudson to pay tribute the legendary singer


The reason? 

Not only because of the singer's strong vocals, but also because of her own personal experience dealing with tragedy.




"Jennifer has had this experience herself in her own personal tragedy, " Neil Portnow, president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences told the press following the Grammy ceremony Sunday (February 12th).
"Taking the stage in that moment, you sort of think maybe she can deal with what the emotions will be. Not every artist can do that."

Portnow praised Hudson for keeping it simple during her rendition of"I Will Always Love You," which was one of Houston's biggest hits. "When something like this happens what's great for me is I have the A-team that creatively figures these things out," Portnow said of the decision to choose Hudson. 

"We sat down and tried to figure out what we thought would be approrpiate. If this were a week [after Houston's death], there may have been a different approach. My thinking was simple, elegant, something that's uplifting, something that inspirational, and somethings that's healing [because] we're all hurting"

 It has to be pinponted that Chaka Khan was originally scheduled to share the stage with Hudson but was too grief-stricken to perform. During the touching performance, Hudson appeared to get emotional only briefly but held it together to complete the song. Today, Jennifer's grace and poise on the Grammy stage is considered a perfect tribute to the fallen diva.

Nicki Minaj's Grammys Performance 2012 Simply Sucks!

Nicki Minaj levitates during her performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards held at Staples Center on Sunday (February 12) in Los Angeles.




The 29-year-old rapper kicked it off by confessing the lyrics to her new single, "Roman Holiday," while sitting next to The Pope, the same man she walked with on the red carpet earlier in the evening.

The performance, called "The exorcism of [Nicki's alter ego] Roman," was choreograhed by Laurieann Gibson and featured religious imagery, pyrotechnics, and backup dancers dressed as monks.


"OMG @ that chris brown performance. >>>>>>>> SHUT DOOWWWNNNN," Nicki tweeted about another one of the night’s performers.

In my opinion, this is again one horrible performance of Nicki Minaj.


Why everything that she does SUCKS?
Absolutely everything...She is so damn FAKE! Her song lyrics don't make sense, the rhythm is always annoying, her live performances and video clips are irritating...Why all this act? Are we in a circus?She appeared with someone who reminisces the Pope. How ridiculous is that? She tries to shock but the only thing that she manages is to look so ridiculous and stupid. Seriously, do you think that this singer will make history? She doesn't even make a single hit!Why all this promotion? Why many worthwhile singers collaborate with her? Honestly, I don't understand..

Kelly Clarkson In Her Own Words About Her Super Bowl Performance !

The single voice that kicked off what would turn out to be an amazing game for the New York Giants belonged to "American Idol" contestant Kelly Clarkson.



The singer gave a soulful rendition of the National Anthem, hitting every note and remembering every word despite being "really nervous" prior to her all-star performance.


"Just finished rehearsing the anthem in Indy ... wow, I'm actually really nervous about singing at the Super Bowl ha!" she wrote on her WhoSay account. "Here's hoping I nail it and don't screw it up!"

And Clarkson, 29, had good reason to be nervous.

Last year's “Star-Spangled Banner” singer, Christina Aguilera, was skewered by the media after she flubbed the lyrics.


At one point, Aguilera belted out, "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last reaming," where the lyrics should have been "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming."

Said one Twitter user at the time: "Egypt thanks Christina Aguilera for botching the national anthem and bumping them off the Twitter trending list."

Thankfully, Clarkson's feedback was a lot more positive.

"Guess what ... I've never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl tonight ... wow that was almost not fun I was so nervous!" she wrote on her account after the game. "Fun night overall though!

"Thank you everybody for all of the nice things you're saying about my performance! I really appreciate it. :)"

M.I.A' s New Single Revealed Today! Lyrics And Preview !

M.I.A has released a video for her single "Bad Girls" and it SUCKS!


What a crap! This is pure garbage! Who will dance to this tune?
Well, she relates to Minaj except that she adds an ethnic tune on her songs...It is Muslim Gangsta in my opinion...She gives me the impression that she wants to promote and trend Arabic people... 

This is what Madonna would call "Reductive"... Remember Neneh Cherry in the 90's?? Well, she is the new Neneh! For those who are not familiar with her, go on you tube and watch "Buffalo Stance"!!!You will understand exactly what I mean! She doesn't relate to a vast majority of people. It's obvious that she wants to be heard by the  few... It's funny because even the commercials on you tube right on her video promote vacations to Dumbai...No offense! She is like a Slumdog Millionaire! 

As for the lyrics? What kind of negative bullshit is that?
"Live fast, die young"?? Well, this is a nice way to start a song!
And am I supposed to dance to this??
To celebrate my life before a bullet finds me or maybe my chain hits me so hard that my chest can't handle it??
This is ridiculous! Give me a break! Where is quality?? Maybe her chain hurts her creativity! Quality can't survive!

 For the record M.I.A has collaborated with director Romain Gavras for the video. She hasn't found the title of the album yet and it is set for release this summer.



Watch the lyrics and the video below.

Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well

My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the radio

Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang..
..hands up, hands tied
Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang



Suki Zuki
I'm coming in the Cherokee..
..gasoline
There's steam on the window screen
Take it, take it
World's bouncing like a trampoline
When I get to where I'm going, gonna have you trembling

Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well


My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the radio

Yeah back it, back it
Yeah pull up to the bumper game
Yeah with a signal
Cover me, cause I'm changing lanes

Had a handle on it
My life, I broke it
When I get to where I'm going, gonna have you saying it

Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well

My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the radio

Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang..
..hands up, hands tied
Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang
