Tinie Tempah | US

JLS Ft. Tinie Tempah - Eyes Wide Shut (CDQ)

The new JLS album came out this week, and let me just say... I AM IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN. It's a great album, with a ton of really fun upbeat tunes, plus so excellent ballads as well. The boys definitely know what they are doing :)

I CAN NOT wait to see their tour... less than two weeks now!!! HOLY HELL I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

In the meantime, check this tune... its my fave off the album and has a feature off Tinie Tempah, so basically my two faves in one.

Happy Boy Band Day!!!

Today is like boy band Christmas for me, hahaha. You're probably wondering, what the hell is this girl talking about...

Well... today is the release day for two bands new albums, and two more bands are releasing their newest singles (albums in a week). PLUS, three of these afforementioned bands are performing live in the X Factor tonight, which just adds to the excitement!

So I'm sure you're wondering, what bands is she on about, I didn't think boy bands existed any more. Well... you're dead wrong. Boy bands do exist still, they just can't survive in the American market where everyone is so jaded by the early 2000s. In the UK they are thriving, still dominating the charts, and new bands are coming on to the scene all the time (although I think The Wanted are awful, One Direction on X Factor has A TON of promise).

1. McFly - Single Shine a Light came out last week and the new album Above the Noise is out today. I'm trying to figure out a way to get this album, along with the others... I am particularly excited to hear the song "I'll be Your Man" which is getting rave reviews. Current single "Shine A Light" is AMAZING, and features Taio Cruz. (Yes, that's right... TAIO CRUZ... I told you boy bands are doing fine).

2. Westlife - New single "Safe" which I haven't heard yet, is being performed live on the X Factor tonight. Album Gravity out next week. Westlife are probably my least favorite of the four groups, but I love love love their harmonies. Immense.

3. Take That - WITH ROBBIE WILLIAMS. OMG. Take That are like THE boy band to end all boy bands. They were huge in the 90s, took a break, and have since reunited and taken the world back. Robbie Williams is the last to rejoin the group, having held out to do some solo work. Their new single "The Flood" debuted on the UK Charts at #2 this past week and their new album Progress is out today. They are also performing live on the X Factor tonight--the first live TV performance for the group since Robbie came back. So of course it is going to be HUGE.

4. JLS - My fave hahaha. Their newest single "Love You More" is out today. It's the Official Children in Need single this year, which means 100% of proceeds go to the charity. You'd be an idiot not to spend the pocket change to buy it. Their newest album, "Outta This World" is out in a week and I am DYING with anticipation. Early reviews are favorable, and there is apparently hints of dub step and electro beats on it. I love how JLS have adapted the boy band thing to the new market that is so heavily influenced by grime these days. Very cool. But of course they are just as capable as the others of producing a solid ballad, hence "Love You More." They are returning to the X Factor, the show that made them what they are, tonight to perform alongside Westlife and Take That. Pretty crazy for them, to go from being on the show to returning with the two biggest boy bands of all time.

So anyways, Happy Boy Band Day!!! I'll follow-up with album reviews and clips of performances!

Cher Lloyd sings Stay - The X Factor Live show 4 - itv.com/xfactor

SMASHED IT.

This girl is probably going to win, and if she doesn't she'll get second and have a crazy successful career. Regardless, I will be getting her album when it comes out ;-)
