The Canadian music legend, Stompin’ Tom Connors, has released his 50th album and I just think that is a remarkable achievement. I don’t know if I can do 50 pushups but this man has managed to make that many records.
His latest, The Ballad of Stompin’ Tom, features 16 tracks (12 new) which focus […]

Remember when Nelly Furtado was not making music that sounded over-processed, over-mixed, over-synthesized, over-sexualized or over-Americanized? Yeah, me too and I miss those days. Her songs used to have meaningful lyrics and actual melodies.
Take 2004’s “Try,” for example, from her album Whoa, Nelly! This isn’t my favourite version of this song but it’s […]

High School Musical star, Vanessa Hudgens, apparently was so excited to meet her idol, Canadian (and international) singing superstar, Celine Dion, that the 19-year-old could not contain her emotions. She recently admitted: “If it wasn’t for Celine Dion I wouldn’t actually be singing. And when I met her she was so sweet and she […]

I love my Nintendo Wii and one of my favorite things to play on the Wii are their sports games. Whether it’s Wii Sports, Mario and Sonic at the 2008 Beijing Olympics or even just NHL 2K9, I love the action games!
Now, I have heard that a new game called “Celebrity Sports Showdown” is […]

It was filmed back in 2001, just weeks after the horrific September 11 terrorist attacks and proceeds from the event, […]

I came across the new Feist video for her single “Honey Honey.” The song is really strange even for the unusual Calgarian singer. The video is even weirder. The funny thing is that, while it is a haunting tune filled with wordless “singing,” it’s also comforting and warm. The background “ha ha” sounds sometimes remind […]

She may not be a "Maneater" or a "Promiscuous Girl" like the titles of some of her most famous songs but she is a married woman!
British Columbian singer, Nelly Furtado, has revealed that she was secretly married this past summer to her fiancé of one year, Demacio Castellon. Apparently, the couple were wedded on July […]

So this video for Shad’s new song "The Old Prince Still Lives at Home" is clearly a spook on the intro for the classic show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Initially, I thought it was kind of cute but then it just gets tired and boring. If you want to do a throw back […]

Wow. When I first heard this "Tout de Moi" by Andrée Watters, I thought it reminded me of American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson’s single "Behind These Hazel Eyes." Can you hear that in the verses?
Anyway, what do you think of these words? "Tout de moi, tu me connait par coeur. Tout de moi, tu […]
