Wiz Khalifa Gets His Shine — At Last — On ‘Mixtape Daily’
By Steven Roberts
Wiz Khalifa is far from new to the rap scene, but the Pittsburgh MC existed in relative obscurity despite being signed to a major label. Even his first single, “Say Yeah,” which sampled Alice Deejay’s “Better Off Alone,” didn’t do much to change his status. The music video that accompanied it was so [...] Continue reading

Miley Cyrus’ ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ Video Works Without Influence: The MTV News Quote Of The Day
“I made a big point to everyone that I didn’t want anyone else to watch a music video and show me and say, ‘This is what I think we should do.’ I don’t think it looks like any other music video. I think if we would have looked at another music video or listened to [...] Continue reading

Jay-Z Serves As Betty White’s Bodyguard On ‘Saturday Night Live’

Wiz Khalifa: Preview The New King Of Twitter’s ‘Mixtape Daily’ Video
I started my Twitter account almost a year ago. In the beginning, I just wasn’t into that particular social network (I would literally send out one tweet every month).

By Eric Ditzian
Though he will not reach the legal drinking age until 2014, let’s pour one out for Aaron Kelly, the gawky balladeer who got the ol’ heave-ho on “American Idol” Wednesday night (May 5).

‘American Idol’ Reject Siobhan Magnus Rates The Best Wails In Music
It’s been compared to Adam Lambert’s wail and the sound of a woman giving birth. Siobhan Magnus’ signature shriek-of-a-high-note concluded many of her “American Idol” performances this season — some good (its wicked debut on Aretha Franklin’s “Think”), some not so good (she got burned on “Through The Fire”).
But Siobhan’s jaw-dropping octave-jumping sound (which she [...] Continue reading
