WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: mark ronson feat spank rock & kyle falconer - the bike song

mark ronson feat spank rock and kyle falconer - the bike song
[oh my gosh, just how amazing and retro summery genius is this song directed by warren fu? i can't wait to hear mark's album already!!!!]

TALK SHOW PERFORMANCE: Lady Gaga - Just Dance (on The View)

Lady Gaga - Just Dance (on The View)

new video saturday: the view, josh pyke, evermore, beverly knight,

the view - face for the radio
[sweet song! these boys keep on surprising me with what they can do.]


josh pyke - fed and watered
[yet another great song from josh's debut album memories and dust. bring this kid to the states already!]


evermore - never let you go
[good old fashioned epic guitar ballads don't come easily these days. so it's kind of surprisingly that this sweet ditty comes from a trio of brothers hailing from new zealand. must be all that greenery that inspires them so.]


beverly knight - after you
[not the best follow up single (at all) after the awesome no man's land. what's going on beverly?]

new videos: mumm ra / the view / mat kearney

mumm ra - she's got you high
[cute song from a bunch of boys who came up with their name based on the baddie from the thundercats. that's good enough reason for me to put them on my blip!]


the view - the don
[love this 2nd single from this uk buzz band! totally british beachside caberet sounding... not that i've ever been there, but that's what i would imagine it to sound like. yes i have a vivid imagination.]


mat kearney - undeniable
[so this cutie singer/songwrite is also a rapper? i'm totally confused! totally different from his current hit "nothing left to lose".]

new video monday

robbie williams - she's madonna
[ok, i wasn't won over the 1st time i heard this song on robbie's album, but now with the video (god, he looks ugly in a dress), i think this pet shop boys produced song actually works...hm...am i getting soft these days?]


kelis feat cee lo - lil' star
[by far one of my fave songs of kelis' last album. hopefully this retro soul tune will re-introduce everyone to just how talented and diverse she can be]


the feeling - rose
[4th single by the awesome feeling and this time they go for stadium balladry. i love them already so there's no need to convince me of anything]


the view - same jeans
[the lead singer looks like he's 16 (ok, maybe he is)! but these guys totally reminds me of the bands of the late 80's that my brother used to listen to, no wonder the buzz is mad in the uk]


mr hudson and the library - too late, too late
[would you consider this a nu-ska movement brewing? i'm game if the world is!]

hype wongie: let the jennifer hudson hype train continue

[from my pop culture blog wongie's world]
if there's one thing that about dreamgirls that i still get goosebumps about, it's the fact that jennifer hudson is truly one of the most amazing discoveries in awhile. with her golden globe nomination and imminent oscar nod in a few weeks, i still go a little loopy when i hear this young lady sing. here are some interviews she's been doing of late:

but not before you watch this girl sing.
