"I'm Bi-Sexual" Said By Jessie J

Jessie J has taken the world by storm with her undeniable talent. Yet, in an industry where the more accessible you are, the more successful you are, the Essex-bred belter has decided to open up about her sexuality.

No secret to her British fans, J has spoken on being Bi-Sexual previously. However, the ‘Price Tag’ singer does so for the first time on a US platform in OUT’s ‘Hot List’.

On being bi-sexual but refusing to turn her sexuality into some kind of crusade:

“If you love somebody and they’re the same sex as you, you should be able to marry them and you should be able to have children with them, but I don’t feel that sexuality should define anyone…Everybody’s life is their own and they have their own faith and religion and sexuality, and I don’t think I want to shove anything down people’s throats.”

The powerhouse also spoke on being under-the-radar in the States:

On her still somewhat under-the-radar persona in the US:

“It’s quite nice to be able to walk around without people wanting a picture or running over to me…I recently had a bit of a panic attack [in London], like a moment of I can’t go out by myself anymore!“…”At the end of the day I’ve spent seven years preparing for this, and if I wasn’t aware of the fact that your independence gets taken away and that your life isn’t the same, then I couldn’t really do the job…You’ve just got to embrace it.”

Katy Perry Covers Vanity Fair; Talks Religious Parents

Peep a racy Katy Perry on the cover the of Vanity Fair’s June 2011 issue.

Ironically, the singer devotes a large portion of her feature to discussing her strict religious upbringing, and how her devout parents react to her antics.

Excerpt after the jump…


Via Vanity Fair:

“I didn’t have a childhood,” she says, adding that her mother never read her any books except the Bible, and that she wasn’t allowed to say “deviled eggs” or “Dirt Devil.” Perry wasn’t even allowed to listen to secular music and relied on friends to sneak her CDs. “Growing up, seeing Planned Parenthood, it was considered like the abortion clinic,” she tells Robinson. “I was always scared I was going to get bombed when I was there…. I didn’t know it was more than that, that it was for women and their needs. I didn’t have insurance, so I went there and I learned about birth control.”

“I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up,” Perry says of her evangelical-minister parents. “Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don’t try to change them anymore, and I don’t think they try to change me. We agree to disagree. They’re excited about [my success]. They’re happy that things are going well for their three children and that they’re not on drugs. Or in prison.” Perry’s mother confirms that she is proud of her daughter’s success, telling Robinson, “The Lord told us when I was pregnant with her that she would do this.”

Lady GaGa To Play Mary Magdalene In ‘Judas’ Video

True to form, Lady GaGa looks set to shock with the upcoming video for her new single ‘Judas’.

Set to premiere on April 19th, the singer’s longtime choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibson has shared details on what the eagerly awaited clip will be depicting.

If religious groups were angered before, they’ll no doubt be making a whole lot of noise this go round.

Full story after the jump…


Via MTV:

“I will tell you now, first off, I’m Christian, and my career is evidence of God in my life, and I think that most people are already thinking that Gaga and the blasphemy and they’re premeditating the approach and I think they’ll be very shocked to find out how huge and really groundbreaking the message is and how freeing the message is for all the right reasons,” Gibson said. “And it’s really going to shock the world.”

The cast includes some big-name cameos as well, including Norman Reedus as Judas. “He was so prolific,” she declared of his performance, adding that the video is “badass” and that Gaga will play Mary Magdalene.

The two ladies took it upon themselves to make sure the video’s direction was perfect — so they just decided to direct it themselves. “There was elements of ‘Born This Way’ during our collaboration [with director Nick Knight] and, as much as I loved it, there were moments where, for me, it didn’t really evolve as I had inspired of the actual creative, which was defined.

“But when we got to ‘Judas,’ it was very clear to me and the inspiration was very clear to her. We approached a director, but then the dates actually got messed up and it was conflicted and her manager and her looked at me [and asked me to direct it with her].”

Gibson said she took a moment before agreeing, as she had just wrapped up work on Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball HBO special, premiering in May, but she “couldn’t resist. It’s a phenomenal video: really powerful, really impactful. She’s such a strong, committed artist. Her loyalty to me is something I will be forever grateful for. We’re spiritually connected. We need each other, and ‘Judas’ is ultimately a representation of our true bond.”

We’ll hold full judgement until seeing the video come the 19th.

Gwen Stefani Speaks About New Artist

As earlier reported, Elle magazine’s May issue celebrates ‘Women In Music’. Covering the special edition is No Doubt stunner Gwen Stefani.

The ‘Hollerback’ singer has been out of the limelight for some time, opting to focus on motherhood, recording with No Doubt and her successful fashion line ‘L.A.M.B’.

In her absence, of course, a new crop of stars have risen to prominence – including the likes of Rihanna, Fergie, and Lady GaGa. Find out after the jump what the 41 year old thinks of the suggestion that such acts have borrowed her style.


Via Necole Bitchie:

Really? I don’t see myself in those girls. I usually put pants on. I see these girls as more going for the sex-symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy. Of course, I think every girl is sexy, so there’s going to be a little of that. But I see a lot of younger artists going more toward the sexy thing.

On today’s music longevity

When we were growing up, some of the hits were legendary ones that you hear your whole life. But certain songs, I don’t know if you’ll ever hear them again. Because that’s what that music is, like a guilty pleasure, it’s right at the moment.

Lady Gaga "I Have One Of The Greatest Voices In The Industry"

It seems that success finally gone to Lady GaGa’s head. In her recent interview with Vogue magazine, the singer boldly declared that she has “one of the greatest voices in the industry” and that she is “one of the greatest songwriters” in the game today.

However, GaGa didn’t stop there. While continuing to boast about her own talents, she went even further by slamming her fellow performers who choose to lip-sync on stage. Look below for all the details:

“Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer. I am a talented entertainer,” the singer tells the March issue of Vogue magazine. “I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. I consider myself to be one of the greatest songwriters. I wouldn’t say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.”

“It’s so funny when people say, ‘It’s amazing to see how hard you work.’ We’re supposed to work hard!” she says. “I have the world at my fingertips. I am not going to saunter around the stage doing pelvic thrusts and lip-synching. That’s not at all why I am in this.”

“Nothing has changed since I have become a star,” she says. “I am a real family girl. When it comes to love and loyalty, I am very old-fashioned. And I am quite down-to-earth for such an eccentric person.”

There are several vocalists in the game today – Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, Jennifer Hudson and Jill Scott – who could easily outsing GaGa on any stage (even on their worst days). Furthermore, given the tendency of her lyrics to be perceived as shallow and sometimes quite confusing, her songwriting skills are hardly poetic – “walk, walk fashion baby. Work it, move that bitch c-razy”.

GAME CHANGERS [PART 1] - Lupe Fiasco, Estelle, B.o.B & Janelle Monae

Janelle Monae, Lupe Fiasco, B.o.B,,& Estelle are 4 individuals that you barely hear on a Urban Radio station, due to the ignorance of todays Radio listeners. With such epic songs Like "Cold War","I'm Beamin","The Kids", and "Fall In Love" you would think that these artiest would be at the top of the heap but sadly their not.

The video above is the "Part 1" to and amazing interview. Check it out it's a must see

V Magazine Interview With Nicki Minaj

You just shot the music video for your next single “Moment 4 Life,” featuring Drake. What are you working on next?

We’re shooting the video with Rihanna for “Fly” this weekend. We’re going to save the world in more ways than one with the video and that’s all I can say about that… I love Ri-Ri! I mean, when she’s not grabbing my ass she’s a sweet girl.

Who are some of your favorite artists outside of hip hop?

I like everyone. I don’t listen to music based on genre. Like, I’ll hear a song and then I’ll live for that song for like months and I’ll be like, “Who the hell is that?” I listen to Taylor Swift. I like Coldplay. I listen to gospel a lot. I listen to anything that’s just beautiful music.

Would you do a song with Taylor?

Of Course

Personally, I think you should do a song with Lady Gaga, who you’ve been compared to in the past.

A lot of people say that to me! I’d definitely be open to it, yeah… I mean, Gaga is badass. Being compared to greats can never bother me.

What does all your success mean to you?

I’m proud that women, female rappers that come in this game after Nicki Minaj can see that, you know what? There is a chance for you to sell just as much as the boys and to be recognized. And you don’t have to feel like, because you’re a female rapper, you going to not be recognized. And so for that alone, I’m proud. I’m happy.

Lastly, are you single?

Yes. I’m single and ready to mingle [laughs].
