What’s it like to have to tour because people basically want to hear one song of yours? One song that inspires violent thoughts in the many of those whom cannot stand it? Well, just ask James Blunt. Seems ol’ Jimmy had a tough time in L.A. Wednesday night at the Gibson Amphitheatre. He looked bad, his voice cracked many a time, and he strained too much, making his songs come off as overblown. I’d insert a snarky comment here, but will refrain. In the meantime, “You’re Beautiful” continues to be pumped out by the bucketsful.

Heather Mills McCartney is denying all rumors that she has a lover which contributed to the dissolution of her marriage to Paul McCartney. However, she says she has been getting a lot of hugs on the street from people. According to Mills, 85% of her income has gone to charity, in stark contrast to the rumors that she was just out for Paulie’s cash. In the meantime, she’s lost some weight, which she’s attributed to her new vegan lifestyle. She’s also planning on opening some vegan restaurants. Sorry, Heather, but Linda ye shall never be.
To celebrate his (probably first of many) comeback(s), Jay-Z performed seven concerts around the US in 24 hours. Mind you, these were seven 30-minute concerts, but hey, in this day and age, you have to come up with something nifty to announce your return. And what better way than by getting the worst possible case of jet lag ever?
Didn’t I just get through reviewing the last installment of the NOW That’s What I Call Music! series? Well, volume 23 is here, and just like the last one it has topped the US charts at #1. Where can I get a piece of this goldmine? Note to self: start up record company that does nothing but make million-selling compilation discs that the kids just love.
After repeated reports that Michael Jackson would not only be making an appearance at the World Music Awards in London but also would be singing the title track from his bigger-than-God album, Thriller, he, uh, didn’t.
Oh, he showed up. He just didn’t sing “Thriller.” He did, however, favor the crowd with a few verses of the schmaltzfest that is “We Are The World,” which is, I think we can all agree, a poor, poor, pitiful substitute.
In an interview after the event, Jacko claimed it was a “misunderstanding” that led people to believe he was ever going to be singing “Thriller.” Well, damn, Mike, if you’re aware of the misunderstanding, then how ’bout you clear it up and not leave people thinking you’re going to do something that you’re not?
