New Cinema Releases: 29th April 2011

If there is anyone out there this Friday who is not taking in the viewing of the Royal Wedding, then the only other option you have is to watch a DVD or even better visit your local cinema and see what on at the flicks, luckily I do all that right here for you, keeping you fully up to date with anything and everything Worth going to see at the movies this weekend.

Now I'm no going to dress it up to much, this week is not the best.  I suppose the people who schedule movie releases thought that the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton made play havoc with the opening weekend of big movies, never the less let's get on and see what out there for ya this weekend.

Thor

Sattring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins

I'm not the biggest fan, in fact I'm not even a fan of this type of movie the title and look at the poster is enough to put me off, needless to say I won't be going to see this one.

It may be your thing though so it's here, the movie is a adventure, action and drama type thing where this warrior from a realm called Asgard comes's to Earth to live among Humans, soon becoming one of our main protectors.

That's pretty much all I know, and to be honest I probably won't find out much more.  I did skim past a review of the movie earlier in the day, they gave it a pretty good write up so maybe you could give it a go.

Tracker

Starring: Ray Winstone, Temuera Morrison and Andy Anderson

Yeah don't worry I have only heard of Ray Winstone to, I had not even heard about this movie until I came to do this post.  So pretty much like Thor there is not to much I can tell you, like I said it's not the best week for movies.

Ray Winstone plays an ex-Boer war gorilla in New Zealand, he is sent to bring back a Maori accused of killing a British soldier.  The popularity of this has really shot up on IMDB, again though I don't think I will be rushing out to see this one.

That is pretty much it for this week, yeah I know it's a lazy post and I'm going to bang the same drum that there is nothing really worth going to see this weekend.  If you are into Horror movies then you could go see Insidious, won't be me though don't do Horror movies.

Right then thanks for dropping by for the latest cinema releases posting I'm off to watch the Royal Wedding now.  Don't forget you have your chance to guest post here on the blog for me, I need the entries by Sunday night I'll give you till midnight British time your post will be scheduled for Wednesday next week when I'm away on holiday.

Now you are getting on with the post you want published here, remember to FOLLOW me, leave your comments below and subscribe to the feed for all the latest delivered straight to your inbox.

Terminator 5

So we all know that Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to acting, and he apparently has movie offers coming out of his ears.  As regular commenter Ruben told us in comments on a previous post Ah-Nuld is a lot better at acting than he is at politics.

Terminator 5, as it's named at the moment is currently sitting shelved away in some studio and is awaiting the rights to be bought, the leading studios in the hunt for the movie are Lionsgate, Sony and Universal.  The only thing halting the process at this time is the $25 million or so up front price tag with the total amounting to $36 million.

Who ever gets the rights is also going to be in need of a writer, as the movie is yet to scripted, there is a thought!  Why not get Sylvester Stallone to write it.  For me he has done a pretty good job of his latest remakes Rocky Balboa and Rambo in particular, just a thought.

If the movie is snapped up ten it would hopefully see Schwarzenegger take up his Terminator role one more, at least in some capacity anyway.  I hope the movie does get made all though I have no idea what the story would be, any ideas?  The original Terminator and T2 have got to be the best in the franchise by a long way any one will admit to that.  Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines was enjoyable but not something you would watch time and time again, then you have Terminator Salvation which admittedly I have not seen, but the reviews I have read are not really that great.  Maybe if they make the 5th movie I will get round to seeing it.

Thanks for dropping by don't forget to leave your comments in the section below, FOLLOW me or subscribe to the feed.

Want a laugh then why not check out my post on the Royal Wedding, maybe you want something to do with movies then take a look at Johnny English Reborn.

The Royal Wedding

Now this would not be much of a blog on Television if I didn't mention the event that is taking place on Friday morning at Westminster Abbey between Prince William and his fiance Kate Middleton.

Millions if not billions will be watching around the world as the happy couple tie the knot.  I will watch it of course.  Now as with anything high profile these days it's not to long before you find a video about it on YouTube and the Royal Wedding is no different.

T-Mobile is one of the biggest phone companies here in the UK I'm not sure where else they operate but I do know they are in Germany, thanks to a friend who lives there and they sponsor a German football team, I can't remember which and in all honestly it does not have anything to do with what I'm talking about here.

T-Mobile are getting a bit of a good reputation for themselves lately thanks to the TV adverts the put out with their company slogan "life is for sharing", and we all remember the one with the guy singing in the translation right?

Now they have gone one better and done an advert for the Royal Wedding with some actors that are pretty impressive look alike for certain members of the royal family, the video is a million miles from what the ceremony will be like on the day but it is very entertaining and has had 12.5 million views on YouTube. I'm sure you will laugh and LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS BELOW.

Thanks for dropping by and don't forget I'm away on holiday next week and I need some one to do me a guest post, I've had no offers yet so drop me a line at musicgamingvideo(@)gmail(DOT)com with your post and I'll schedule it to publish it here next week.

In the mean time why not check out what new at cinemas this week, or take a look at a funny up coming movie trailer Johnny English Reborn.

Must Have Songs For Your iPod - Week 8

AARGH yeah it's that time of the week again for my favourite music post, since I'm bit late getting this out this week, being the holiday weekend and a very sunny one at that I spent most of Sunday in my Garden having a beer of course.  As far as new music goes there is not much out this worth listening to but I'll roll with the punches.



No that's not me!

First up this week Professor Green, now I don't know to much about his music and after this song I'm not likely to find that much out.  I was introduced to his new single Jungle by someone at work, yeah it's ok and I could probably listen to it in my car but maybe not on repeat, I don't think the Professor does that much singing.

I though we could have a preview of the post I have scheduled for next week when I'm on holiday, we all know who Cee Lo Green is and we reported on his new song Bright Lights Bigger City a couple of weeks back, the post scheduled for next week is a review of that song which he done live on the Later Live with Jools Holland show here in the UK.  Now though his previous song It's Ok.

I thought I would bring a bit of old skool hip hop in now with Joe Budden Pump It Up.  Finishing on a high this week.

Ok so there you have it for another week, please please leave some comments FOLLOW me or subscribe to the feed, I always respond to comments.

Britans Got Talent Episode 2 Auditions

So we are back again this week taking in all the weird and wonderful as Britain's Got Talent rolls into Birmingham, Glasgow and London.  The first week we did not get to many crack pots, and I am happy to report that this week was largely the same apart from one lady who wants to be a stand up comedian.  Other than that we had a great impressionist and a dog that can "sing" opera, the biggest laugh of the night would come from the Hoff who found the accent's a little difficult to pick up.

Let's start with the good, now turns up Neo from the Matrix now lives in Manchester and he decided to show up at this years auditions to show us that he is in fact the one, now you are sitting thinking this guy is either going to be awesome or complete rubbish turning up dressed like he's about to take on an agent of the system.  Razy Gogonea then ran onto the stage with he knees and showed he the whole of the UK a great lesson in beat popping, at least I think that's what they call it, never been one for dancing I've got two left feet.

Like I say there where a few good one on the show last night, and like anyone I like a good impressionist, this guy Les Gibson shows up on the auditions and good for him he has been working as a professional impressionist for years now and for me he is one of those guys ho just did not get the break he needed, maybe this will be it.  For my American readers they wont know who Kevin Webster or Ross Kemp are so click their names to find out.

Now for the bad, this lady is currently in college training to be a cook, turns out in her spare time she fancies herself as a bit of a comedienne.  Now as you know to be a comedian especially a stand up you need a personality and the ability to deliver a joke without labouring the point to much, so if that has inspired you then check out Elaine Williams from last nights auditions, oh yeah one thing I forgot to mention don't tell the audience to "F**K OF".

The ugly this week comes from Micky Gooch, now his act was not bad.  Ok it's not that entertaining but I think if Bruce Lee had been on the judging panel he may well have gone through to the next round, check out the video below and let me know what you think.

I of course don't have time to go through them all, but like I mentioned above this weeks show did showcase a opera singing dog, and also a guy who put a great spin on a nursery rhyme in the form of Snow Patrol.  Check them out via the links

If you liked this then why not check out my week 1 auditions post, or if you are in the mood for something a little more sensible then check out whats new in the cinemas this week.

New Cinema Releases: 21st April 2011

Another great week of movies here for you now, once again the movie we mentioned last week Scream 4 was the number one  at the UK box office.  No doubt this week will be no different, so let's get on the biggest movie release this week,

Fast Five

Starring: Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson

Diesel is back as Dominic Torreto, with him and his crew of street racers finding themselves on the wrong side of the law again.  The movie is set in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.  Brian O'Connor (Walker) and Mia Toretto have just broken Dom out of jail and are now on the run from Luke Hobbs (Johnson) the Federal agent assigned to track them down.  Unfortunately Hobbs is not the only one on the trail of the elite street racers and they are forced to confront a ruthless drug lord who wants them dead.

This movie looks a real good edition to the Fast & Furious franchise, I enjoyed the first and second movies but admittedly I have not seen the other two, thinking they did not look all that good.  This one has now been added to my watch list.

Also opening this week according to IMDB and the official website is another movie we mentioned here a while ago.

Apollo 18

Now there really is not that much info out regarding this movie, I know it's not due out in the USA until January next year, so can't figure out why it is released here now.

Never mind, the movie is about a cancelled Apollo space mission from back in the 70's, it does look good but maybe a bit on the scary side for me, I'm not one for horror movies.  See what you think check out the trailer below, I have watched it and to be honest that's enough for me.

The movie tag line is There's a reason we've never gone back to the Moon.

Arthur

Starring: Russell Brand, Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner

A movie remake now sees Russell Brand playing the part of Arthur which starred Dudley Moore back in 1981.

Arthur is a wealthy playboy who has Hobson (Mirren) as his butler.  Arthur stands to loose his hefty inheritance from his parents due o the fact they do not like the woman he has fallen for.

Now I like Russell Brand he's quite a cool funny guy, I saw him interviewed last weekend on Piers Morgan about this movie and saw the trailer, I don't think I will be going to see this one.

Must Have Songs For You iPod - Week 7

It's that time of the week again when I get to scroll through YouTube and share with you all the best music releases this week and also some classics which you should be adding to your iPod.

Now as far as new music goes there really is not that much coming out today or tomorrow, but we will have a look anyway and throw in some classics for you.  I have been having a Tiesto fest this week, a bit of a trip back to my days of being a nightclub DJ.  So here it goes.

Chris Brown - Yeah 3x

Now I'm not the biggest fan of this guy, I mean who would hit a woman especially Rhianna?  not me.  This song though is his latest offering and I think it's pretty good.

So as far as new music goes that is pretty much all that is good this week, there are others of course but not that I like.  Lest get on with the Tiesto fest and a trip down the Trance route.  If there was one song sure to pack my nightclub slot on a Saturday then this would be it, I was not even popular for playing Trance, but liked to mix it up a bit with my Funky House mix.

Tiesto - Adagio For String's

Now on my travels I found another tune which packed out my dance floor, I had not heard this for a long time until today.

Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel

So that's it for another week of tunes to be added to your iPod,  why not check out some earlier weeks here

Britan's Got Talent Episode 1 Auditions

Welcome to the start of our weekly look at Britans Got Talent, the biggest show on TV apart from the X Factor returned for it's fifth series on Saturday night, meaning that I will be here every week with your round up of dancers, singers and any other act you can imagine, I will report on the good, the bad and the truly awful auditions which from each week.

This is the first year the show will run without creator Simon Cowell on the judging panel, and also Piers Morgan with them both off committed to TV shows in America.

Amanda Holden returned to her role as judge along with her new work colleagues British comedian Michael Mcintyre and David Hasselhoff.  Now a lot of people thought the new show would be boring without the afore mentioned Simon Cowell.  Personally I'm not to crazy about the Hoff but Michael Mcintyre is very funny and he got off to a great start on the first week.

So lets have a look at the best and worst of what I can remember, first up.

Antonio (Popeye)

Straight off in the pre audition interview, you are thinking that Antonio is one of those acts that is going awful or amazing.  Straight from the off he had the Judges looking in the opposite direction, when.....wait for it.  He popped his eyes out of his head, is that a talent?  I can't do it that's for sure, nor would I want to.  Any way I'm not so sure the Queen would be that impressed.

Blair Christie

Now this guy is either nuts or he was doing this for a bet, you see Blair thinks he is a Dolphin.  Yeah you heard me right a Dolphin.  Blair works in Canary Wharf, London as a Financial Analyst, and we wonder why our country is skint.

Michael Collings

Now for a good one.  From the start of of his pre interview audition you are thinking no!  This is not going to be good.  Michael then walks onto the stage and the judge seem to have already made up their minds.  Then it comes, one of those Susan Boyle moments that is about to change someones life.  The best performance of the night by a country mile and straight yeses from the judges.

Steven Hall

Now this guy can jig a bit, and he is down wi the kidz.  Fair enough it's not the best audition ever and he probably won't win but he certainly made me laugh.  One minute he is doing Thriller then he rapping along to Slim Shady.

Ok so there is your round up of all the best and worst from the first week of Britain's Got Talent, join us next week for more.  If you like music be sure to jump over and check out my must have songs for your iPod posts.

Chat Show Friday

Tonight sees the return of two of the UK's biggest chat shows on both the BBC and ITV.  For the BBC Graham Norton has only been away a month or two at that, but ITV's Paul O'Grady show has been finished since before Christmas.

So first up to tonight on ITV is Paul O'Grady the comic who is famed for his portrayal of Lilly Savage and his previous daytime show on Channel 4.  His show Paul O'Grady live was part of ITV's new line up last year and proved a massive hit, with several big stars lining up for a spot on the show.  Paul has a unique style to his brand of mayhem.

Tonight guest's Charlotte Church, Rupert Everett, John Cleese and Amanda Holden.  I'm looking forward to see Cleese on the show tonight, the interview should be great and Cleese and O'Grady should bounce off each other well.  My favourite interview from the previous show is in the video below.

Also returning to our screens tonight on BBC1 is the Graham Norton Show, admittedly Norton gets the bigger stars to the show, and he is equally if not more funny than O'Grady.  Being on the TV later at night his humour is allowed to be a little more on the adult side, nothing vulgar just good fun.

Tonight's guests include former Doctor Who stars David Tennant, Catherine Tate and singer songwriter Josh Groban will be dropping by for a chat as well as performing. 

Also worth watching out for tonight over on Channel 4 at 10pm is David Walliams Awfully Good Ads, a ironic title really the show takes us on a tour of horrendous television adverts.  Its the second part of the show tonight and hopefully their will be some hilarity to be had, if you miss it don't worry I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for dropping by, if you liked this then why not check out Sarah Millican on the Graham Norton Show or maybe one of our older TV posts in relation to Channel 4 ScFi Show The Event.  FOLLOW me, or subscribe to the RSS or via Email for all the latest news gossip and reviews posted straight to your inbox.

New Cinema Releases: 14th April 2011

Once again this week the movie mentioned in the last post Rio has been the highest earner at the UK box office this week.  Now it's Friday again and the movie theaters are opening their doors with new offerings.  This week sees the release of six new movies to the cinema and as always I will guide you through the best of the bunch.  First up,

Scre4m 4

Starring: Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette

The fourth installment of the movie franchise unleashed on us back in 1996, many said it was the scariest movie they have ever seen (I don't agree).  The legendary mask is now often worn at fancy dress parties and as a Halloween costume.

So like I say we are now ten years down the line.  Sidney (Campbell) has decided to return to her home town of Woodsbro meeting up once again with Sheriff Dewy (Arquette) and Dawn (Cox).  Sidney has managed to put herself back on track thanks to a self help book that she has published.  Not one to leave a quiet life her re appearance in Woodsbro sees the return of the Ghostface killer.  Sidney, her friends and family Dewy and Dawn included are now all in danger.

Your Highness

Starring: Danny Mcbride, James Franco and Natalie Portman

The latest comedy offering from writer Danny Mcbirde sees prince Fabious's (Franco) wife kidnapped.  Prince Fabious goes on a mission to rescue her accompanied by his brother Thadeous who is both lazy and useless.  The two brothers are joined on their mission by Isbael (Portman) who is operating on her own agenda.  The movie looks like a popular choice for fans of the comedy genre and should provide some good laughs,  will I see it?  Probably not.  Actually maybe I will see part of the movie, I will forward it to the part where Natalie Portman is wearing a rather revealing bathing suit.

As always a one for the kids this week,

Winne The Pooh

Starring (voices): Jim Cummings (Pooh Bear and Tigger), John Cleese (Narrator)

Now I know my regular reader are not likely to be interested in or go to see Winnie the Pooh, but it is a children's classic and happens to be on in my house quite often.  In fact I can probably tell you more about this than many of the other movies that I talk about (don't worry I won't).

The latest adventure sees Pooh bear set off on an adventure after he reads a note left by Christopher Robin.  Pooh convince's all his friend's Piglet, Tigger, Owl, Kanga, Roo and Rabbit to go on the adventure telling them that a creature named Backson has captured their friend Christopher and they all must help to find him.

So that's what is new at the cinema this weekend.  If you liked this then why not check out what was at the cinema last week, ore maybe even the week before that.  You can also check out the latest movie news about Johnny English Reborn.

Don't forget FOLLOW me, or subscribe to the RSS or via Email to keep up to date with all the latest in movies music and television.  Thanks for dropping by and I will be back on Sunday for the weekly music post and probably tomorrow with something to say on the new series of Britain's Got Talent.

New Movie Picture: Transformers 3

Now this is not technically news, but I saw it and had a laugh to myself.  As we all know Shia LaBeouf is returning to our screens later this year as Sam Witwiky in Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon.

This is a new picture from the movie, can anyone tell me what Shia is doing or planning on doing with his hand? 

I don't suppose you can blame him she is pretty hot, right?  Her name is Rosie Huntington Whiteley and she plays Carly in the movie.

I know you're laughing, thanks for dropping by and don't forget leave your comments below.  You can FOLLOW me and even subscribe via E-Mail Check out the trailer for Transformers 3 here, and take a look over at the new Johnny English Reborn trailer if you want some more laughs.

Johnny English Reborn

I know Rowan Atkinson is not that cool, but the movie we are talking about probably will be.

Atkinson will be stepping back into the shoes of Johnny English the hapless intelligence officer working for Her Majesty’s Secret Service.  His latest adventure sees him back in the fold trying to stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos.  Since the last movie MI-7’s best agent has been honing his skills in a remote region of Asia, but is brought back by MI-7 to untangle a web that involves the KGB, CIA and even MI-7.  If you did not see the first movie, then take my word it is very funny, ok not the best movie ever in fact the story is not even that great, but if you are in the mood for a more traditional laugh then this could be for you.

We will have to wait a little while though as Johnny English Reborn is not due in UK cinemas until 7^th October 2011, but in the mean time you can watch the trailer below.

If you like this why not take a look at Super 8 or Chrome and Paint, thanks for dropping by I'll be back in the next day or two with some more news, gossip or maybe even a review.

Ice Cube Movie: Chrome and Paint

Now we all know Ice Cube as a bad boy rapper who started off his career with the NWA, following his career with the band he went on to be a solo artist and a very successful one at that.

Ice Cube did not leave it there and went to work on movies, my first movie experience of his was probably the same as everyone else’s when he played Doughboy in the 1991 movie Boyz n The Hood, a movie I would still sit and watch now.

The next movie from him or the most memorable one anyway, was Friday where he co-starred with Chris Tucker.  A great movie which gained a huge following before it was even known that mainstream, things seemed to be going well he got the part as Danny Rich in Anaconda alongside J-Lo, then starred in Three Kings with George Clooney as Chief Elgin.  Ice Cube then went on to make another two Friday movies which done ok off the back of the original, but where no wear near as good.  He got the chance to take over Vin Diesel in XXX2: The Next Level, an ok movie but he did not do as good of a job as Diesel in the original and the movie was a bit over the top.

He then starts to make kids movies, starting off with Are we There Yet.  A movie I watched but was not impressed with, needless to say I did not see the follow up Are we Done Yet, I thought he was done!

Now Ice Cube has had a movie ready to go for quite a while now one of his own project’s that he has wrote and also wants to direct.  The movie is called Chrome and Paint, the movie is about the custom car culture in L.A and he wanted it to be a gritty R-Rated car movie set in South Central LA.

 

His plans for that will now have to come down a bit more to family level, as Disney studios have now picked up the movie,  looks like we may be set for another family adventure from Ice Cube.

I'll Be Back, Ah-Nuld Was Not Kidding!

We have all heard plenty now about former California Governor Schwarzenegger's return to the world of showbiz as the Govenator, the new crime fighting cartoon character is due to hit our screens some time next year.  For Arnie though that is not enough, from what we are lead to believe he has movie offers coming out his ears, and up to now two imparticular are standing out.

First up is the movie Last Stand which is going to be directed by Kim Ji Woon.  Liam Neeson was initially in line for the role but dropped out after his decision to take a break from

acting.  Arnie, if he gets the job will play a small town Sheriff doing his up most to stop a Mexican drugs cartel boss.  Schwarzenegger and Kim have yet to meet and discuss the movie formally, so watch this space.

Next up is an offer from Antoine Fuqua the director of Training Day, this movie is to be titled The Tomb and Arnie seems pretty interested.  If he gets the job he will play a security expert who is framed for a crime and thrown into a prison that he designed, like that's going to happen.

No wait, it already has.  Michael Schofiled (Wentworth Miller) was sent to Fox River State Penitentiary a prison that he had designed in hit TV show Prison Break, maybe Wentworth and Arnie can get together for some tips to be shared, remember Wentworth don't forget tell him to pack a whisk.

New Cinema Releases: 8th April 2011

Back again this week with all of your latest cinema releases, in all honesty unless you have kids this week there is not really a lot worth going to see.  We will have a look see anyway and who knows, the kids movies are sometimes funnier than the adult one's these days.

Rio

Satrring: Jessie Eisenberg, Jamie Foxx, Will i.Am, Anne Hathaway and George Lopez

 New this week from the creators of Ice age is Rio.  Blu (Jessie Eisenberg) is a domesticated Macaw living in a small Minnesota town, being a domesticated bird he is frightened of flying.  Blu meets Jewel (Anne Hathaway) an independent bird always looking for adventure, soon after meeting Blu must get over his far of flying as he takes off to Rio De Janeiro with the bird of his dreams.

This looks quite funny and as usual with the kids movies it's has the jokes crammed in for the adults that luckily will go straight over the kids heads, not posing you any difficult questions in the car on the way home.  I may even get round to seeing this one myself, lets wait and see for the movie review.  Not made up your mind yet then check out the Rio trailer below.

Mars Needs Moms

Starring: Seth Green, Joan Cusak and Dan Fogler

This is story of a young boy named Milo, who lies to his mother about having eaten his Broccoli.  Milo is denied the opportunity to view the latest pay per view zombie movie on TV an go away up stairs saying that he would rather not have a mother at all.  Milo soon regrets his hurtful words and goes to find his mother to apologise, his mother however has now been taken away by martians.

I don't think I Will be going to see this movie, but if you have kids who are currently miss-behaving or giving you the run around then this could be a good way to get them to toe the line.  If you want to read a bit more about this movie before you go and see it then check out Glen who has reviewed the movie over at 1 Man 365 Movies if the short description here is enough, then check out the trailer below.

Best on offer for the adults this week would appear to be this,

Tomorrow, When The War Began

Starring: Caitlin Stasey, Racheal Hurd-Wood and Lincoln Lewis

This is an Australian movie which has really jumped up in popularity this week.  The movies follows a group of Australian high school students who go away on a camping adventure weekend to be at one with nature.  The students return home and find their country has been invaded by another and their families have been taken.  The group band together and stage a fight back against the enemy.

Now I don't know about you but this movie does not really do anything or me, very unrealistic and a pretty simple story line to come up with.  I suppose if you want to see something that is not to taxing on the mind then this will be the movie for you this weekend.

That's pretty much it for this week, I did try to include the Roommate but thought I would go with the best of the week.  I think Rio will be on top over the weekend, speaking of that our posting last week which included the new Russell Brand movie Hop was they highest earner at the UK box office last week at £1.3m, also there to be viewed is my review of Limitless from a couple of weeks back.

Black Eyed Peas Live At Super Bowl 45

What's that a music review?  Yeah I know I have not done to many of them but I'm pleased to be doing this one.  This is sort of a request from one of my regular commenter's Ruben, who asked me to look at the performance of the "Black Eyed Peas" at the Super Bowl.  Now I know this may be a bit late in coming, but the Super Bowl is on far to late at night in England to stay up and watch and I had not even heard of the performance until now.

Now they started off alright I thought, with the song "I've Got A Feeling" that tonight is going to be a good night, or at least it will be when the next 12 minutes of their performance is finished.  Then the song kicked in and you think, oh no!  Fergie I think you have forgot to put your microphone on. 

Now up to this point I was more interested in the Green LED lit dancers who had formed themselves into arrow shapes, I'm presuming they were illuminating the stadium exit and direction to the bar.  The dude with the Glasses not Will i.Am the other one on the left, yeah him over there, someone should tell him he has a microphone, there is no need to shout.

The performance is then rescued momentarily when Velvet Revolver's Slash comes on playing the Guitar intro to "Sweet Child O'Mine" from his Guns & Roses days, great I thought, until Fergie decided to join in and ruin a classic.

They then move onto "Let's Get It Started", terribly.  Let's hope he really mean the second half of the game and not their performance.  Then it's rescued again when the intro to "OMG" starts, at first you thinking don't do it then Usher appears, phew.  Not quite Will i.Am decides to join in once again, admittedly not as bad as Fergie with Slash but still not as good compared to Usher live.  Good thing with Usher on the stage the cameraman clearly felt that their was no need to concentrate so much on the back up dancers.

The show is then moved onto "Where Is The Love" and Fergie is terrible very flat voice and I was quite surprised that she was not better than that.  I will give them credit the performance was full of energy and they never stopped running and dancing, they have to just get their breath now before the sing.

Black Eyed Peas - Live at the Super Bowl Video

I said that I have not seen these guys perform live, well now I remember I have.  Last year they where on the X Factor and performed pretty well I thought, maybe they where miming or I was drunk who knows?  Check out the X Factor performance below.

Must Have Songs For Your iPod: Week 5

I'm back again this week with all the latest top music that you need to be adding to your iPod or MP3 player.  There are some pretty big tunes out this week and a return to music from Mrs Lopez after her spell away having kids and making movies, so let's get on first up this week.

Jay Sean, now I quite like this guy and his music, this new song is a bit more up beat for him unlike his previous more smooth R&B soul type music,  I like it have a listen and watch the video below and let me know what you think.

Jay Sean - Hit The Lights

Snoop Dogg is also back this week with a new tune, and hey guess what he has decided to dance things up a bit also, his new tune along with DJ David Guetta is sure to be a summer slam in the Ibiza and Miami clubs, for me Snoop has had some great music and has certainly made his mark in the world of rap.  Snoop has done more up beat songs in the past the one in Vegas With Justin Timberlake "Signs" jumps straight to my mind, see what you think of the new tune in the video below.

Snoop Dogg V David Guetta - Sweat

Now I was doing my usual rock around the Internet this week when I came across these guys "LMFAO" are a electro hip hop duo who's music has never gone mainstream, now if the charts where based on video and the dancing in them then this song would be number one without a doubt.  Check out the video below.

LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem

Next up and last but certainly not least is the return of J.Lo, yeah I know it's not that cool but she is one of those people who no matter what she does she can't do it wrong, granted this is not my favourite song ever but it is catchy.  J.Lo could not have come back withe a better featuring artist either with Pitbull for company, this guy is everywhere at the moment and he will no doubt have a big year in the charts.  Check out the video below.

Jennifer Lopez Ft Pitbull - On The Floor
