The Annual "European Music Awards" Are Due To Kick Off Tonight in Munich, & It Promises To Be A Good Show, by "MTV's" Standards Anyway.


The show is due to be hosted by "Snoop Dogg", which will either be embarrassing or hilarious, plus appearances by; "Kelly Rowland", "Craig David", "Wyclef Jean" & "Joss Stone" who will all present awards.

On top of the star studded presenters, there will also be some great performances from the likes of; "Will.i.am", "Nicole Scherzinger" & "Amy Winehouse". For once, I will actually feature an MTV awards show & genuinely look forward to it, it's just a shame there are not more European performers. It feels like an 'MTV tour of that little continent', rather than a celebration of European music, where's "M.I.A" at?

Viewers in the UK can catch the show live on MTV ONE at 10:30pm tonight, I'm not too sure when or if it will be aired stateside.

Here Is The Official Album Cover For "Mary's" New Studio Album; "Growing Pains".

I am very excited about this album, "The Breakthrough" was such a hot record, I have every confidence that this will be just as good. Still, I'm not so convinced by the artwork, it's a little plain IMO, I was thinking it would be a little more vibrant, but Mary does what Mary wants.

Growing Pains is due for release on December the 11th (US).

What Do You Think Of The Cover,

In What Is The Best News I Have Heard In A Long Time, It Is Rumored Super Producer "Timbaland" Is Already Hard At Work On His Next Album. 'Working Title' "Shock Value II".

While "Shock Value" has done extraordinarily well in the US & Europe. I felt that the single releases are moving very slowly, this to me was a sign that Tim wouldn't work on a follow up for some years to come.

But, while being appearing at "Kiis FM's" homecoming concert he told fans that he had already recorded tracks with "Akon", "Gwen Stefani" & "Linkin Park". This is fantastic news, Shock Value was my best all round album of this year & Tim is my favorite artist in the game.

This Is The Brand New Video For "Twista's" Next Single; "Pimp Like Me".

Although I am a fan of Twista, I'm not such a fan of this track, the lyrical content is very questionable; "A Pimp Like Me Just Wanna Work That B*tch Hard" seems a little dis-tasteful & will not win him too many fans among the 'Oprah Generation' of woman.

On a good note, this track contains some sick beats, very hard & fast; they feel almost like UK beats from a "Grime" track. Plus, although the video is a bit cheap, it does serve a purpose.

Here Is The Newest Video From R&B / Soul Singer; "John Legend".

Although I totally respect Legend's musical ability, he just isn't pulling his weight lately, his sophomore album "Once Again" has pretty much passed me by, except for "Stereo", I can't remember a single track from it.

"Another Again" is an OK single, it's the sort of song you could fall asleep to, or listen to in a restaurant... This is not a good thing! Still, it has it's charms, & John is definitely going to fall off the map anytime soon, let's just hope he can pull out the stops for his next LP.

Here Is A Short Clip Taken From The First Episode Of "Salt-n-Pepa's" Brand New Reality Show On "VH1".

The show covers the history of the group & follows them on the rocky road to be reunited, as you can see below, it ain't going to be an easy ride. I can't wait for it to premiere in the UK.

While "Leona Lewis" Enjoys Unbelievable Success In The UK Charts With Her Smash Hit "Bleeding Love" (250,000 sales & growing), The Second Single (Unconfirmed) From Her Debut Album Has Been Leaked.

"Angel" seems to confirm exactly what I feared about this girl, it is just too 'Poppy', even though it has been produced by "Stargate", it almost fails on the R&B front & sounds like a pop song, not a bad one, but still a disappointment.

My excitement over this girl has not yet been squashed, she is still the most talented singer I have heard in about a decade & her album "Spirit" may contain some solid album tracks, only time will tell. Check Out The Track & See What You Think?

LISTEN: "Leona Lewis - Angel"

While "Nicole" Seems To Be Doing A Reasonably Well With "Baby Love", I'm Thinking This Newly Leaked Remix Is Just A Little Better.

The characteristic sound of "J. R Rotem" can be heard among the beats of this track, it gives the song a fresh new feel & I'm really feeling it. I have said it before & I will again; why did she pull "Whatever U Like" as a UK single? That beat was so hot!

I am hoping she will do well with her album; "Her Name Is Nicole", this girl is stunning, has a brilliant voice & a nice personality, she has the whole package.

Here Is The Video Premiere For "Sean Paul's" New Single "Watch Dem Role", Taken From His Forth-Coming Album; "A New Age" (Unconfirmed Title).

Really not feeling the song, but the video is pretty hot, still Sean remains to be a chart topper even with a lot of people hating on him. Although I am a fan of his albums, he always fails to release a 'serious' single, but never the less, he is a top 'Hip-Pop' artist.

Check out the video below & let me know what you think of both it & the track?
