Miguel Covers Britney
In light of today being the release of Britney Spears seventh studio album Femme Fatale, it only feels right to do a post that is Britney related.
As part of Billboard’s Mash-Up Monday’s, singer Miguel stopped by the studio to give his rendition of the Britney Spears smash “Hold It Against Me.”
Miguel turned the pop song into a smooth soul jam lead by his powerful vocals and a blaring synth. While he did forget some of the lyrics overall he did a good job and I would argue that the song sounds better stripped down like this.
Covering a song is never easy, especially when you are trying to make it your own. Miguel successfully twisted the song into his style, while keeping some of the aspects the public fell in love with.

While their have been many female rappers, there was always something different about Lauryn Hill. It might be the fact that her album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, received five Grammy awards including album of the year, or the fact that it holds the record for biggest debut for female rap. Whatever the reason is, Lauryn seems to be in a league of her own.
The video below was taken from her Continue reading
Throwback: Rihanna Performs New Version of ‘Umbrella’ at 2008 BRIT Awards
After reading that Rihanna has been nominated for a BRIT Award, the UK’s equivalent to a Grammy, I found this video of her performance at the 2008 BRIT Awards.
I’d never seen it before tonight, and I had the feeling that a few of you haven’t as well so I decided to share it. The performance was at the peak of Rihanna’s career in 2008-although I think that  the LOUD-era is going to be much bigger for Rihanna.
