Amerie's New Video: Heard 'Em All

Amerie's New Video: Heard 'Em All





This debuted on 106 & Park and is from Amerie's upcoming album In Love And War. Directed by Anthony Mandler (of Disturbia and Run This Town fame), it features a hot-as-Hell Amerie, who, for some reason, looks pissed. But she still working it with the choreography and it's a good comeback song too (although we may like Why R U more...).

The Saturdays Sophomore Album Cover - Wordshaker

VERDICT: The Saturdays Sophomore Album Cover - Wordshaker

Very nice, ladies... Love the net curtains.

Appropriate for a second album cover; screams sophistication, new look, older, more mature, more personal LP. All at the same time.

And we'll bet you that, at some point in an interview, they'll say 'This album's a bit more personal' or, our personal favourite, 'It gives people a chance to get to know the real us'...

Really ladies? Like we haven't heard that one before. And we all know next album you'll be saying the exact same thing...

Still...

VERDICT: 8/10

Getting A Little Tired Of BEP's Reign At No.1

Getting A Little Tired Of BEP's Reign At No.1

Isn't anyone else just a little bit bored of BEP being at #1 on BB100? It's been 25 weeks now (yes, we've been counting), and although it's technically been six months (you know, that whole 4 weeks = a month thing), next week it'll officially be half a year that they've been at the top spot on the chart - 26 weeks, consecutively.

Isn't it a bit much? By now, shouldn't everyone who was gonna buy I Gotta Feeling (which has now been at #1 for 13 weeks; even longer than the superior Boom Boom Pow) have bought it by now? Who the Hell is still purchasing the track?

bored as Hell about it. Right about now, we just don't give a flying rat's arse who takes the top spot, as long as they're not there next week, 'cause, as much as we love Fergie and co., there's only so much we can take. We mean, come on, just how long is this gonna go on for? Till christmas?

Dear Lord.

VERDICT: Cheryl Cole's Album Cover

VERDICT: Cheryl Cole's Album Cover - Three Words

Hmm...

We love C.C, and it's cute but it's more editorial, Vogue page 354, than an album cover. And she looks more scared than fierce... like she's trying to make it work, trying to hit that mark. And we all know she's just missed it...

VERDICT: 7/10

Our Bad. It's Keisha That's Leaving The Sugababes

Our Bad. It's Keisha That's Leaving The Sugababes

Contrary to what we reported just last week, it's not Amelle that's leaving the Sugababes, it's founding member Keisha. They just put this up on their website...



The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.
Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen. They release their album ‘Sweet 7’ on November 23rd through Island Records.
Keisha Buchanan will continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist.

Keisha then followed this up by posting this up on her twitter...

Dear Friends I'm sad to say that I am no longer apart of the Sugababes.

I've had a great time and have achieved more then I ever thought I would. Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life. I have nothing but positive things to say about the girls and I wish them the best of luck. I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that lead to this.

Sometimes a break down in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things. I would also like to point out that I have always supported the girls and they have also supported me. Remember my drunk pictures out with Amelle, supporting her on her success with Tinchy Stryder… Oh the shame… But what a fun night we had. Now I'm going to take some time to focus on me. I've been in this band for 11 years and I have achieved so much. I have a great family and friends who are behind me 100% and at the age of 24, I'm now going out into this world on my own…

Although im nervous… I'm still very excited on what lies ahead. I want to thank the Sugababes fans and my fans for all your support and all who have never judged me, but excepted me for who I am… The feisty, funny, professional, fearless, motor mouth… lol

This is not the end… but the beginning!!!!

Thank you always… Keisha xxx

Like, skeen. Where to go to from here? We were right about Jade Ewen joining the Babes, but, when you think about it, now all three founding members have left. It's like an all new group under the same name...

And how's this going to affect their new album Sweet 7? Keisha sings a hella lot of the adlibs etc; they're gonna have to re-record. And what about the video for About A Girl that they just shot in L.A?

Questions, questions...
