The Dubai Jazz Festival starts next week and looking at the line up, I’ve got to say there are some pretty impressive singers performing. The pick of the bunch has to be James Morrisson, but David Gray has some brilliant songs and I’ve been listening to Laura Izibor’s great soulful album for a while. So [...]

This week’s song of the week is the latest song from the group called One Republic who had a huge hit with the song Apologize. This song is called ‘Secrets’ and I like the combination of drums, violins and guitars. The story in the video is funny and cool.

It was an acoustic version of the 50Cent/Justin Timberlake song Ayo Technology ! I thought the original version was OK when it was released but this remake sounds amazing. After a bit [...]

Here’s the official trailer for the movie made from footage of Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for the concert tour that he was preparing before he died.
To be honest when I first heard they were going to make such a movie I wondered if it would really do one of the world’s greatest ever entertainers justice. Having seen the trailer, it left [...]

Well that’s according to Simon Cowell after teacher Danyl Johnon performed his audition to appear in X-Factor (the UK version of American Idol). The new season of the show just started in the UK and its always entertaining.
