AUDIO PREMIERE: fleur east - sax / sax (live @ x-factor uk)

fleur east - sax
to be honest, there is nothing new here (especially since fleur made public impact last year when she performed 'uptown funk' on the x-factor uk), this pretty much is a carbon copy of the bruno mars smash but i have to say, once those michael jackson-esque horns kick in almost all is forgiven cause all you wanna do is bop your head. the song will be a massive hit, you will feel manipulated throughout. gosh darnit!

UPDATE: check out last night's performance of "sax" live on x-factor UK

AUDIO PREMIERE!: michael jackson & justin timberlake - love never felt so good

michael jackson & justin timberlake - love never felt so good
originally recorded back in 1983 with paul anka, producer john mcclain has updated the track with some additional recording AND roped in justin timberlake to add some vocals to this duet. hopefully the rest of the 'xscape' album will also be of this era's sessions!

check out the album version without JT:

michael jackson - love never felt so good

WONGIE SOUL SONG OF THE WEEK: chris brown - fine china

chris brown - fine china
with a full head tilt nod to michael jackson, you can't deny that this song is not only catchy but pretty darn good. though i will forever have my issues with chris brown, i won't hold back on enjoying a good song when i hear it (and the dancing in this video is hypnotic). i keep on thinking that this should have been the sound coming out from justin timberlake (and not the meh album he just released), but that's another issue for another day.

wanna see more chris brown dancing? check out the dance only version of this video below:

michael jackson - this is it
[from NY TIMES:
Based on a tape Mr. Jackson left behind containing only his piano and vocals, a full arrangement was built, complete with swelling strings and his brothers’ backup vocals. The song is to run during the closing credits of the new Jackson film, perhaps not coincidentally called “This Is It.]

michael jackson with akon - wanna be startin something 2008 [link 2]
[25 years!!! back in 1982 i carried around my blue cassette walkman and just zoned out to the album on the playground while the rest of my peers were playing soccer and netball. inspired by MJ's dance moves, i secretly imagined myself lighting up the squares as i walked over the hopscotch squares. oh youth! with his updated remastered classic album released this week, will.i.am brought together a small group of artists (including kanye west and fergie) and unfortunately murdered the essence of the originals. the only one spared such a fate is the one above featuring akon. oh well, at least the rest of the album remains a gem for me to zone out to as i light up the sidewalk plugged into my ipod...]
