Well at least her first single off her sixth album, Womanizer proved to be a success when it topped the US Billboard in style. The single broke the record by jumping from 96-1 and it's the biggest jump in history. 2nd December 2008 also mark as her birthday and the launching of her sixth studio album, CIRCUS. However as history repeated itself, the album did get leak (as usual) in the internet. Nevertheless, I'll be hoping to get the album since I kind of shove her last album (Blackout) away.
I had been a fan since her first debut as the teenage-bubblegum-pop tune Baby One More Time. I got all her album since then except her Blackout album (which I will get it one day... hopefully soon).
Britney's success got recognition from the music industry of all area;
1) Britney received 3 awards at the MTV Music Video Awards 2008 (previously, she had been
nominated for more than 20 times with no win).
2) Two awards at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008.
3) A Bambi Award (pic below) where she also perform the song Womanizer.
Well I do wish that she could regain her supremacy and maybe outshine other pop princess to crown herself the QUEEN OF POP one day in the future!!!
On-going female powerhouse (Vocally) !!!
Celine Dion
Celine Dion who shot to greater fame after the Titanic sank, still goes strong now. She had move on to a more up-beat/pop tune. I do like it all the way! With her release of One Heart and taking Chances, I fall in love with her voice once again. Her latest single, My Love is enough to melt my heart and ears. The song is slow and steady plus it has one of her trademark vocal thing going on. I JUST LOVE IT!!!
Madonna
Another icon form the 80s, Madonna had reinvented herself according to the era. She not only reinvent herself she is also a fashion Icon. Her music, on the other hand is turning into more disc-dance/pop-dance type. It's not that bad considering that the tune is catchy. Her latest offering is Give It To Me. Not a bad tune.
Mariah Carey
Okay, she got the funny voice there and yet she is famous for it and makes gazillion out of it!!!
Her latest album, E=MC² provides some of the most sexy tune like Touch My Body. Her latest single to hit the charts is I'll be loving U long time which is a upbeat hip hop tune.
YOUNG AND POWERFUL
The following female singers are getting the lime lights now:
Taylor Swift
The sweet country pop singer is turning all the boys head as she walks down the road. Her secod and latest album entitled Fearless has already churn out hit song Love Story and the music video I must say is totally fantastically fantasy!!!
Rihanna
Rihanna really owns the dance floor and the upbeat market. Her songs:
1) Pon de Replay (US Billboard HOT100 #2)
2) S.O.S (US Billboard HOT100 #1)
3) Umbrella (US Billboard HOT100 #1)
4) Don't stop the music (US Billboard HOT100 #3)
5) Disturbia (US Billboard HOT100 #1)
Her slow number are amazing as well:
1) Unfaithful (US Billboard HOT100 #6)
2) Take a bow (US Billboard HOT100 #1)
She is fast becoming Mariah Carey with the number of number ones that she already have. Her latest offering Rehab is quite a nice one.
Natasha Bedingfield
Natasha Bedingfield has success in the UK with These Words reaching number 1 in 2004. Her latest effort is Angel which is something quite different from her other songs.
Leona Lewis
Breaking into the UK and US market with such a great style. Her debut single Bleeding Love has stormed the world. Her latest single is Forgive Me which is an upbeat song.
Katy Perry
A phenomenal success for the youngster. Her unconventional or rather appealing dress code sure brought enough attention to her. Her debut single I Kissed A Girl provided Perry her first worldwide smash!!! Her latest song is titled Hot N' Cold. The song is quite funky and easy to sing-along (oops, yeah I did sing along to it). It's just pure infectious.
Jordin Sparks
The latest addition of the American Idol 2007. She had provided us with Tattoo and also a duet with Chris Brown, No Air. Her latest song is called One Step At A Time. The song is once again infectious to the ear drums that make me want to listen to it over and over again. Now, Ijust hope she don't dim out her sparks like Kelly Clarkson did.
Beyonce
She has the voice of the Diva. She already has a few dozen hits while with the group Destiny's Child. Like Rihanna, Beyonce has 4 US number hits so far and counting. Her latest release are
If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) are storming the charts now as I am typing here. The first one is just one of the song that really show that she could really power her voice like a DIVA. The latter is a upbeat song that shows that she could do a fast number as well.
With so many young and talented singers emerging every minute, it's hard to stay in the limelight for long like what the On-Going Powerhouse did.
Here is a look at other GREAT musician other than female singers.
The Killers
They have a new album titled Day & Age, the first single is Human which sounded unlike other songs in the market right now. They are famous for those unlikely hit songs;
- Somebody Told Me (2004)
- Mr Brightside (2004)
- When We Were Young (2006)
- Read My Mind (2007)
The solo rock vocalist, John Vesely is Secondhand Serenade. With the imfamous tune Fall For You, I had fallen for that tune as it is stuck in my brain all these time.
Metro Station
The single Shake It really makes me shake it. The following single is called Seventeen Forever. How I wish I could...
McFly
The UK Pop Punk band. Their catchy songs sure did captures my attention. I still could not forget the cover Don't Stop Me Now still rings in my head. Their latest single is called Do Ya
. I had watched the music video and it's quite a killer as it features the Zombies... I mean those flesh eating zombies...
Coldplay
They are going stronger and stronger album after album:
- Parachutes (2000), 7x Platinum & #1 (UK)
- A Rush Of Blood To The Head (2002), 8x Platinum & #1 (UK)
- XY (2005), 8x Platinum & #1 (UK)
- Viva La Vida / Death And All His Friends (2008), 3x Platinum & #1 (UK)
Kevin Rudolf
Out of nowhere comes Kevin Rudolf and his first single is like a drug. Let It Rock makes me addictive (wait a minute, I'm kind of additive towards lot of songs...). The song is Great plus the music video is Awesome as well.
David Cook
I was amazed on how a Mariah Carey's song (Always be my baby) could sound so manly yet soothing to the ears when he sang that song in the American Idol. His latest is Light On which still provides the husky and manly song but just not as good as the previous. It's still nice though.
Daniel Powter
He got famous because of American Idol??? Nope, he's not the contestant but his song Bad Day was featured in the American Idol season 5. It's also gave him his first number 1 in US. His latest album Under The Radar provide a easy tuning first single Next Plane Home.
Now about the Groups:
Pussycat Dolls
The pussies return to the music with a bang? Not really. The PCD has lost most of their sexiness The first single When I Grow Up from their second album Doll Domination just fall off the radar. The latest single from it I Hate This Part is not that bad. Well with or without a top ten hits, the songs from the pussies are still attractive to me especially their music video. I think personally that Nicole is getting way too much vocal that leaves me a point to wonder, is the group supposed to be called Nicole & The Pussycat Dolls???
New Kids On The Block
Oh boy! My once upon a time favaourite boy band from the 80s is back? For how long... that's another question. Their songs are just mediocre. Well just as the US market lacks the Boyband Power, here comes NKOTB. Their Single song is ok as it puts in a little touch of hip-hop in it. Maybe it's because the song features Ne-Yo.
Well that's it about my music senses. As anyone could guess, my type of music is just simple as P-O-P or any easy listening tune or some catchy ones. There are many more singers or bands that I ppersonally liked. Hey, this is just a blog... I can't put my whole life's liking into it... It will take me ages to finish it as I took 1 day to write this whole blog... well with some time off to the washroom and out for lunch and breakie.
Well 2008 is coming to an end. Hope 2009 will brings in more GREAT music!!!
