History of Beyonces Career

by Amy Nutt Beyonce Giselle Knowles was born September 4th, 1981 in Houston, Texas to Matthew and Tina Knowles as the first born of two girls. Before she reached the age of seven she was singing and showing signs of great talent. When she was seven, she was already attending dance school and was a soloist in the church choir.

Who’s Bad?
Michael Jackson 1958-2009 And so it goes and so they go and like the best aspects of a morbid suggestion, why the surprise? A heart has to give, and this one beat under the immense pressures of expectation and disapproval. No aspect of infamy follows beyond the haunted spectacle of former glory. Redeemed by death, his music now holds the answer, but what was the question? Which, of many ponderings, should be answered first? read more

EXPECTATIONS Soham Shah’s last film Kaal had boasted of chartbuster music. So much so, that it is selling even till date while the songs continue to play across satellite channels. Now with a bigger star cast and much bigger budget in hands, Soham returns with Luck which is easily one of the most anticipated films of the season. Its thriller promo has done the trick and one expects that the music too will follow the high adrenalin mode and get the right thump in place; something which is muc

Britney Spears Womanizer - A Music Review
If you listen to Britney Spears’ Womanizer single, you can only have one of these two reactions: either love or hate it. But for this writer, it’s definitely not hate–not in a million years.

The Thriller’s Gone
The icons of my childhood are going fast, it seems. Ed McMahon on Tuesday. Farrah Fawcett this morning. And this evening, the King of Pop. I can’t say I was a die-hard Michael Jackson fan, but his music was the music of my youth, from the perfectly crafted pop confections of “ABC” and “I Want You Back” with the Jackson Five, to such towering works as 1982’s “Thriller” and ’87’s “Bad.” There was no disputing his enormous talent and riveting showmanship — music that proved to be terrific enough

Michael Jackson The Musician, Not Celebrity

Every media outlet in the world is already covering the news of Michael Jackson’s surprising death today from cardiac arrest at age 50. So why write an obituary for Culture Catch? Jackson’s music was part of the soundtrack of my life, and I loved much of it. But whenever musicians reach the level of fame that he did, they are viewed more as celebrities than talents, and their celebrity is written about rather than their art. I don’t care about all the detritus of celebrity, I just want to rememb

Sure, We Remember When…
Music Review Wednesday night, June 24, a vocal group called Remember When did just that: they took the audience at Café 322 in Sierra Madre on a trip of old tunes from the 1930s and 1940s in a close-harmony style that became popular in a slightly later period, around the 1960s. …

Carrie Underwood: Making a Splash in the Country Music Scene
by Greg Shuey Ever since she won the much-coveted Idol crown in 2005, Carrie Underwood has enjoyed a very beautiful music career which turned her into a country music superstar. When she first sang in front of the show’s judges, she immediately earned their admiration. Her rendition of Bonnie Rait’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” was enough to earn her a golden ticket to Hollywood and make it all the way to the finals of the hit reality show. Each week, her stellar performances propelled her to

It’s a rainy wait for Emraan and Soha
EmraanAbsurd as it may sound but the fact remains that Emraan Hashmi’s next release is stuck because rain Gods haven’t been kind to Mumbai this season. Since ‘Tum Mile’ is set a few years back in the times of infamous Mumbai floods, the makers want to shoot some scenes in natural rains. However, as the wait gets longer for the rainy season to kick start in Mumbai, Emraan Hashmi, Kunal Deshmukh (the film’s director) and other cast and crew members of the film have been left with no other choice b

Britney Spears Womanizer - A Music Review
by Shane Bascome For this writer, listening to Britney Spears’ Womanizer single is reminiscent of how good she was back in her prime. This song will induce only two reactions: love or hate it. But I’m pretty sure most will not go for the latter. For years, fans have missed the kind of music only Britney Spears can give. And with the release of Blackout the album, the pop superstar announced to the world that she is back after a couple of tumultuous years. Her comeback was made official by a

? THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ?

Brandy & Ne-Yo - Too Little Too Late (full) - listen Brandy is already working on her sixth studio album, and it seems as though tracks and demos for the R&B sensation haven’t been on lock! Brandy and Ne-Yo material is leaking left and right. I love Brandy’s vocal arrangements and delivery - her voice runs like water to me, but for some reason, I am just not fond of hearing Ne-Yo with her. He doesn’t match her intensity at all to me, but the song isn’t half bad. Mya feat. Bun B.
