FeFe Dobson Returns


Well...she was never actually here to begin with.

Do you remember back in 2003 (when TRL was still going strong), Fefe Dobson scored a modest hit with her single "Take Me Away", then pretty much fell off the face of the earth...aka she went back to Canada.

But she's been plugging away, trying to make it in the biz, and with her new single she may just have a chance yet!

"Stuttering" is a cute little pop gem, with a nice little hook and mid-tempo chorus. Dobson has always had a pretty strong voice, and this song displays her nice tone.

What do you think of "Stuttering"? Does Miz FeFe have a hit on her hands?

"Hold It Against Me" Premieres, and it DELIVERS


Ahhh!!

This is CLASSIC Britney!!

The Queen of Pop surprised everyone today by releasing her track to radio a day earlier than she claimed, but no one here is complaining!!

"Hold It Against Me" is a bona fide Dance/Pop SMASH (I mean, it's only a matter of time until it tops the Billboard Charts) and is almost guaranteed to be another smash for Spears.

We heard her demo earlier this week, but Britney's vocals make it all her own - There's no mistaking her nasally delivery, her sexy come-hither's, and the monster chorus that she delivers with ease.

Listen to "Hold It Against Me" NOW and DANCE DANCE DANCE!!

UPDATE: "Hold It Against Me" reached the #1 spot on Itunes in less than 12 hours, and in just 1 day is the 16th most played song on pop radio!!!!! She's got another MONSTER SMASH on her hands! Go Brit!

True Grit Tops Box Office


True Grit, the latest film from the Coen brothers (and a remake of the classic Western novel), topped this weekend's box office with a reported $15 million. The film is now the Coen brother's biggest hit, grossing over $110 million domestically, and should continue to do well through awards season.

The film, starring Jeff Bridges, was strong enough to fend off Little Fockers, the latest installment in the Meet the Parents franchise, and Gwyneth Paltrow's latest flick Country Strong.

Speaking of Country Strong, the film saw its first full weekend of wide released, grossing $7.3 million - good, considering the movie's reported budget of $12.5 million.

Elsewhere this weekend, Nicolas Cage scored another sub par debut with another sub par movie, as his Season of the Witch came in at #3 with $10.7 million. Cage has been releasing a crap load of crappy movies this year (does Sorcerer's Apprentice ring a bell?), which I guess is good since he has a lot of bills to pay.

Did you have a good weekend??

"Hold it Against Me" Hitting Airwaves on Tuesday!


OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

This is going to be HUGE.

Britney Spears has announced that her new single "Hold it Against Me" will hit the U.S. airwaves and Itunes store on 1/11/11, her first new release since "3" last year.

Demos have already leaked of the new track, and people are already saying it's going to be a massive hit, and I have to agree!!

"Hold it Against Me" is a an head banging club anthem, and should dominate radio in the upcoming months.

The artwork for the single has also been released, and Brit Brit looks Sexxiiiii!!!!!

I'm counting down the days until the official single is released, but it's KILLING me. Is it killing you!?!

Katy Perry: MTM's Entertainer of the Year


The votes have been tallied in the last More Than Musiq poll of 2010, where you picked the "Musical Entertainer of the Year", and the lady who scored the most votes has had quite a year.

Its KATY PERRY!!

Perry quickly squished the idea that she was just a one-trick pony and delivered a killer follow-up album to 2008's One of the Boys. In the poll she scored 40% of the votes, good enough to beat Rihanna (30%) and the Cast of Glee (20%) for the top spot.

2010 was very good to Mrs. Russell Brand, with the release of her sophomore album Teenage Dream, which debuted at #1 in the U.S. and produced THREE #1 singles - "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", and "Firework".

Perry also got engaged to funny man Brand, and nabbed 4 Grammy nominations, including the coveted Album of the Year.

I wonder if 2011 will be as good to Perry as 2010 was. We shall see!!

AND stay tuned for a new More Than Musiq poll, coming soon!!

What the Hell!? Avril Debuts New Single


It's been a while, but Avril Lavigne has FINALLY released a new single, and it's not bad!

In fact, I love it!

"What the Hell" is classic Lavigne - a sweet trifecta of pop/punk riffs, bratty lyrics, and Avril's signature snarling-yet-girly vocals.

Lavigne's last studio album, 2007's Best Damn Thing was an international smash, selling 5 million copies worldwide and spawning the monster hit "Girlfriend".

"What the Hell" may not be as strong a lead single as "Girlfriend", but it reintroduces Avril as the bratty pop tart we all remember, and I'm sure her fans (including myself) will welcome her back with open arms.

What do you think of "What the Hell"?
