Events: Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in NYC

Ian Jarrell — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:45:52 +0000

Last night in NYC, the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place and everyone looked amazing. Celebs such as Keri Hilson, Jay-Z, Fergie, and even Dr. Dre all came out to watch the supermodels hit the runway. The Black Eyed Peas were the performers of the night. We forgot they even had an album out. It appears to be a very dressy event, and everyone looked nice. (Jay-Z in a bow tie pure comedy )

Its funny how you were considered a supermodel if you were on the cover of Vogue or Elle, but nowadays you have to be strutting the Victoria’s Secret runway or gracing the catalog cover to even be recognized.

Victoria’s Secret put on the sexiest runway show on the planet. These girls actually eat and work out to stay fit. You can view more pics from the event after the jump.

(We love Chanel Iman. She is the business!)

(Tyrese came out of course, probably to find a new boo…)

(Dark hair looks good on Fergie)

(Adrienne Bailon is a little socialite now, she is EVERYWHERE)

(Now you know Russell Simmons loves the skinny models)

(Cute dress Keri Baby, horrible hair!)

(Selita Ebanks is a BAD BITCH)

Video: Keri Hilson On The Mo’Nique Show

Ian Jarrell — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:59:28 +0000

Keri Hilson last night appeared on the Mo’Nique Show on BET. We respect Keri Hilson as a woman, but as an overall artist she doesn’t do it for us. Her interview with the fabulous Mo’Nique was much better than her performance of “Slow Dance”. She just doesn’t command a stage or audience, but she’ll probably get better. (we hope so!)

In the interview the spoke on success of her album (In A Perfect World…), her pen game, and rumors of beef with Mo’Nique via Twitter. Mo’Nique is one of those shows you can only tune in when someone interesting is on. If she would calm down with the screaming, she would have a good show on her hands.

Event Recap: Power 105.1 Powerhouse 2009

Ian Jarrell — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:28:09 +0000

Let’s just start out by saying WOW! Last night, ATF (Ian Jarrell) attended Powerhouse 2009 hosted by NYC’s Power 105.1. The show included performances by Trey Songz, The Dream, Keri Hilson, and many more.

However, the man of the night was none other then Chris Brown, and this man proved why people was looking at him as the next Michael Jackson. Chris shut the show down as soon as he hit the stage. Saying this boy is amazingly talented would seriously be an understatement.

You can catch photos and video after the jump..

With the lack of buzz for this years Powerhouse, Power 105.1 still pulled off a good show and turnout. The first performers to hit the stage was Day26 of course. We didn’t get to see them perform but we heard they ripped the stage. Are they in the studio recording yet? We need to hear some new stuff from them.

The next up to show he still has it was Mario. We are so pleased to see he has grown his hair out. That whole bald head just wasn’t doing it for us. You can’t deny the boy has vocal skills, but as a performer he kind of lacks. His performance was overshadowed by his surprised guest which included Jim Jones and Red Cafe. He was really just trying to show NYC some love, and that is always good.

Miss Keri Babbbyyy….FAIL! All we can say is this woman needs to work on her vocals and stage performance a little more. If you want to dance please know how to. We love some of her songs, but she just ruins them when she sings them live. Keri Hilson is a talented fab female, she just lacks in certain areas; and those are some BIG areas.

The token rapper of the night was of course Fabolous. His set was just not the business for us. We love his new album so we expected so much more. Fab remained a typical rapper throughout the entire performance; pacing back and forth with no personality…FAIL! We still got love for Fab though.

On to the next one…On of our personal favs, Trey Songz, was the truly one of the crowds favorites as well. This man had “panties dropping” left and right. He sung hit after hit, but he didnt perform any of his classics from his first album, “Gotta Make It”. People don’t realize this man has been around for years, we are happy to see all the recognition he is getting lately.

Trey Songz performances:

The Dream was the next performer to grace the stage. We weren’t that hype to see him, but The Dream does have some bangs in his musical roster. He performed everything from “Rockin That Thang” to “Falsetto“. The best part about his performance was his dancer, them girls killed every move to every song. They kept our attention way more then The Dream.

Now for the star of the night! Chris Brown is the Prince of Pop, yes we know that’s a big title. But this kid is hands down the best male performer of today. he may not have the crazy vocals, but he can hold a note. There is no other male artist touching this boy on dancing. He was partially the reason that stadium was filled.

Chris Brown’s big comeback has been talked about for awhile, nobody really knew when it was gonna happen. he picked the perfect radio station and the best city to make it all happen. Chris Brown is back so either will deal with it or move right along.

Twitter Wars: Monique vs Keri Hilson

Ian Jarrell — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:07:10 +0000

Monique is known for running her mouth about other female in the industry. But this time she RANDOMLY tried to come for Keri Hilson via Twitter. We love us some Monique, and we can’t wait to see her new talk-show on BET, but this whole Keri Hilson attack is just low and late.

Here is what Monique had to say about Keri…I guess Mo still don’t like skinny heffas

Waiting on Keri’s response….

Fabulous Friday Music Review: Keri Hilson, Whitney Hosuton, Cassie + More

Ian Jarrell — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:03:47 +0000

Its Friday and we would like to give you some of our favorite videos and new music that hit the internet this week. From Keri Hilson to Cassie. This week gave a variety of music. The music game is finally turning around and improving. The Blue Print 3 has overshadowed most music this week, but we got you covered.

Cassie is gearing up to release her new album, Electro Love, on November 24th. Cassie new style is geared toward the dance music route with this new album and it really works for her. The only thing is that she really can’t dance. This track “Can You Feel Me” is going to be huge overseas and in the white gay clubs we just know it. If these few lines ain’t about Diddy shoot us now…

I know you sensin me missin you
Must be feeling a vibe
My heart is on fire, about to explode
Theres too much space between me and you

Cassie – Can You Feel Me

Keri Hilson has dropped a new single and video. The track “Slow Dance” was one of our favorite records off her debut album. Keri Hilson is really under-rated, but that whole Beyonce/Ciara beef really overshadowed her project. The video has cameos from Chris Brown, Omarion, Polow Da Don, and Monica. Keri most of the video is getting dressed to go out and grinding on walls, which is pretty lame. She is wearing the same snake skin dress Amber Rose recently wore, but keri still does it justice. Let us know what you think, we are pretty up in the air with this one.

Whitney Houston has finally release a video for her wack song, I Look To You, off her tired album with the same name. Whitney Houston is legendary, but this video is a FAIL. The song is just the pits to us, the video doesn’t help the cause either. Bye Girl!

We forgot all about Leona Lewis after Bleeding Love, but the girl is coming back with another album. The first single off that said album is “Happy” We aren’t the biggest fans of Leona, but the chick can blow. Her vocals are amazing on the song. Who is Leona Lewis audience? She isn’t really R&B or Pop, she is just all over the place to us. Our favorite track from her is “I’m You” off her first album, which was written and produced by Ne-Yo. they really need to team up again.

Leona Lewis – Happy

We’ve seen the preview to Dirty Money’s first single, “Angels” all over the net, well this week was the premiere of the video in it’s entirety. We look forward to seeing how far Dirty Money will go, hopefully they won’t vanish into thin air like Total.

Music News: Timbaland Presents Shock Value 2

Ian Jarrell — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 18:31:51 +0000

Timbaland is not done with trying to be an artist yet. The super producer is putting together a sequel to his highly successful “Shock Value” album. The album Shock Value 2 is set to have appearances from Chris Brown, Estelle, Daughtry, and none other than Drake. The album will also reunite Timbo with Keri Hilson and Justin Timberlake, whose careers he help define…

Anything that Timbaland touches turns out dope. Shock Value produced hit singles, “The Way I Are,” “Scream,” “Give It To Me,” and “Apologize (Remix)“, which all charted high on Billboard. There is no set release date, but just hearing this news has got us excited all ready.

Fab Friday Music Review: R. Kelly, Omarion, Drake

Tini — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:37:30 +0000

Its Friday and we would like to give you some of our favorite videos and new music that hit the internet this week. From Jay-Z’s long awaited video release, to Young Money’s dropped artist, Omarion, it’s been a good week full of new music.

We revealed to our readers the trailer to “Run This Town” last week and were pretty eager to see the full video.

Word has it Omarion got dropped from Young Money before he could even drop a single. Well, Omarion’s “I Get It In” ft Lil Wayne was leaked earlier this week.

R. Kelly is trying to make a comeback by putting ATL artist Keri Hilson on his single, “Number One.” The video was released earlier this week. R. Kelllyyy babay! (Thumbs DOWN). Keri sounds great on the track though!

We knew Jamie Foxx would be dropping a single with Drake when he was speaking so highly of him after the BET awards this year. Check out Fox’s “Digital Girl” ft. Drake, Kanye West and the Dream:

Sunday Throwback: Lil’ Mo – Superwoman (Ft. Fabolous)

Ian Jarrell — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:27:46 +0000

With Fabolous just releasing a new album, Loso’s Way, (which is fire and is on constant repeat in our ipods), we had to take it back to when he first emerged on our radars. Lil’ Mo was that chick back in the day, but when she came out with this track everyone started diggin her. This “Superwoman” video also made us notice a chip toothed skinny dude, who we first laughed and joked about because his name was “Fabolous”. However, he got the last laugh because where is Lil’ Mo?

We recommend everyone go cop Fab’s new album! Also, check out his latest video with Keri Hilson after the jump

ATF Exclusive Interview: Sammie

Ian Jarrell — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:37:11 +0000

Time flies, child stars grow up, and it can be really hard for some of them to stay relevant while sticking to the same formula that they had when they first emerged on the scene. (Just ask Bow Wow). However, there are a few stars who make that trip to adult hood seem effortless. Sammie is one of those artist that has always been bubbling under the radar, and is growing into quite a young man. He just recently dropped a dope mixtape called “Swag & B Vol. 1“, and is still making his own lane while defining who he is as an artist.

In this interview, Sammie talks to us about working with Trey Songz, his views on females and relationships, and let’s us know who’s career he models his after…Check out the exclusive interview with Sammie under the fab hood…

ATF: Hey wassup Sammie

Sammie: How You doing Ian?

ATF: I’m good man. So what you been up to lately?

Sammie: Well I just did the song, Kiss Me Through the Phone with Soulja Boy. I have been working on my mixtape, Swag n B Vol. 1, with DJ Holiday. I got Cassidy on it, Yung Joc, Trey Songz, just to name a few. I’m just tryna expand as an artist and show a different side of me. I feel with this economy you have to give the people a free album before the actual album, so they can see how you coming. I am also working on my new album Coming Of Age also.

ATF: So what inspired you to want to do a mixtape? A lot of R&B guys don’t really go down that lane you know.

S: Yeah that’s the beauty of it. A lot of R&B dudes don’t do it because it takes talent. Not every R&B dude can do it. The main guy that you really know who does mixtapes and remixes is Trey Songz; aside from him you don’t really see a lot of guys doing it. You see, a lot of people don’t know I write, I’m not just a singer. I feel like I can creatively remix something that is already out on the radio and make it R&B. Me being young you have to challenge yourself. After putting out a few songs on twitter and getting a lot of positive feedback I just decided to put out a mixtape.

ATF: So you have worked with Soulja Boy and Trey Songz, and now they currently have a song out right now together. How was it working with both of them?

S: It was crazy man! Trey is like my big brother to be honest with you. A lot of people don’t know how gifted he is. He actually engineers and records himself. That’s something that I am learning to do. The chemistry like I was crazy. We bust the song out in less than an hour. And there not a lot of times you see two R&B guys collab and it be nothing but positive. It just makes sense ya know. He is more in that R.Kelly lane, and I think I am more in that pretty boy Usher lane. So I think it was a nice balance between the both of us. You know working with Soulja Boy was just dope. He already had “Kiss Me Thru The Phone” done with him singing on auto-tune, but he hated how he sounded. So he hit me up and I came through and knocked it out in 15 minutes. Fast forward a couple months later, we have the number one record in the country.

ATF: Speaking of Kiss Me Thru The Phone, is there anyone you are kissing through the phone these days?

S: (Laughs) Naw I’m single you know. So if there was a girl I was texting or kissing through the phone, she wouldn’t feel too special right about now. I do sometimes have that one person when I am out on the road that I miss. I think a lot of dudes can relate to that song, it just wasn’t for the females. But me I’m single, and my priorities are really God first, family, then music. As far as females you would have to be really understanding to really be involved with me.

ATF: What is the most special thing about a female to you?

S: Well for one we can’t live without them. It’s something about them being nurturing, and I just love everything about a woman. From the way she talks, the way she smells, to the way she carries herself. I notice that the girls that I actually go for have the same qualities that my mother has.

ATF: So now describe how Sammie is in a relationship?

S: When I am gone and really sprung over a girl, I can be a real R&B dude. You know I’ll send her flowers just because it’s Tuesday. I listen pretty well, she probably wouldn’t even have to ask for something you really want. I may here her talking to a friend about something, then I’ll go buy it. My job is just to make that girl happy, in any way shape, form, or fashion. I am like really ALL IN once I really dig a girl.

ATF: Okay so when was the last time you were in a serious relationship?

S: Like in 05, my senior year in high school. That was my first love, my first everything. That was when I like test the waters with the whole relationship thing and being in love.

ATF: So it’s been awhile for you I see. So how does a woman get at Sammie? How does a female get your attention?

S: Just don’t pay me any attention. If you see me in the club and you see a bunch of girls trying to get at me and u don’t pay me no mind. That’s the woman that will get me. Since I was like 12 I never really had to approach women, just from me being on television they come to me.

Name Game/Favorite Things

Favorite Record Right Now: R.Kelly – Number One featuring Keri Hilson

Favorite Female Artist of Right Now: Keri Hilson

Favorite R&B Male Artist of Right Now: Trey Songz

Dream Producer to Work with: Polow Da Don

ATF: Whose career do you mock yours after?

S: I am following the Usher blue print, he is one of the only R&B artist that is still relevant today that actually came from a child star like myself, to be the grown man that he is today. That’s really the formula I am tryna follow. He really set the path for other R&B cats of my era. You know I didn’t grow up watching Michael Jackson, I watched usher. Usher grew up watching Mike, but Usher is my MJ you see.
