Pitbull's new song "Give Me Everything" featuring Ne-Yo jumped from 60th to 17th position. This combination is really interesting as Pitbull and Ne-Yo have their own vocal style. You just feel like dancing to the beats. Rating: 3/5
"Till The World Ends" from Britney Spears has reached Top 10. The song is definitely a hit in the club. However, the music video is just so-so and not impressive. Rating: 2/5
Let's have a more relaxing song. Oh, I love this one. The first time I heard it was in movie "Easy A". Now it has entered the Billboard chart. I feel happy when listening to this song. It is amazing and I like the rhythm, but, I think, the music video is a failure. It's hurting my eyes. My advice is that don't watch the video, just enjoy the music. Rating: 3.5/5
Easy A has a couple of great soundtracks. Check them out in Youtube.
E.T. tops Born This way! After being on the top spot for six consecutive weeks on Hot 100, Lady Gaga's Born This Way dropped to number 4 this week. E.T., a song by Katy Perry featuring Kanye West, has finally reached number 1. The release of the music video three days ago has definitely promoted the selling of the song. I am not into rap personally, so I favor Katy Perry's part more. The beats kinda remind me of We Will Rock You.
For the "rap" people, check out No Sleep by Wiz Khalifa which debuted at the sixth place. It's actually not bad.
An interesting duet came out a song "Next To You". Chris Brown and Justin Bieber? That's really unexpected. To my surprise, the song is really good. I hope Justin Bieber can sing with Rebecca Black too. It would be the "best" song in this decade.
I am quite sure I saw F**k on Billboard chart twice. One is from Pink and another one? Kesha of course! Her new song is just like her style, lyrics with foul language and strong beats that will make you deaf. I still love her Tik Tok, but not this. Enjoy her F**k Him He's A DJ. You wanna fuck a person because he's a DJ? Sounds like what she would do...
YouTube has made numerous people becoming overnight sensation, from Justin Bieber to Rebecca Black. Charice is not an exception. Let's start with her background.
Charice came from a broken family. She has an abusive father who once pointed guns at her mother when she was three years old. In order to earn a living, she started singing when she was very young. At the age of 13, she joined a talent show in Philippines and was placed third. Two years later, she started posting a series of her performances on YouTube. These videos received over 13 million views. Charice was then discovered by Ellen DeGeneres. Invitation from Ellen DeGeneres to guest on her show has marked Charice's first American debut.
In the subsequent year, she appeared in The Oprah Winfrey Show. Charice was dubbed by Oprah as the Most Talented Girl in the World. After the show, Oprah contacted a legendary music producer to see what he could do for Charice.
Charice performed "My Heart Will Go On" in her second appearance in the show.
Following her performance, Celine Dion invited Charice to have a duet with her.
In 2009, Charice debuted her first internationally released single "Note To God".
In 2010, she released her secong single, "Pyramid", marking her career's peak.
She then joined Glee cast and took the role of Sunshine. She performed "Telephone" and "Listen" in the popular TV show.

Charice is just 19, yet she has established a successful career. Compared to other teen stars like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, her voice is really powerful and most importantly, she is incredible in singing live. I am looking forward to getting her new album. Hopefully she will have one this year.
