So Rihanna has clearly forgiven Chris Brown, but can we? It’s like when your bff dates a total d-bag and you wish you could knock some sense into them… well figuratively not literally like Chris Brown would. Are RiRi and Brown becoming the new Whitney and Bobby? You know where Bobby abused Whitney and totally destroyed her career? I hope not. Speaking of BFF’s, Katy Perry please talk Rihanna out of it, not like you picked a real winner with Russell Brand, but still help a girl in need!
The drag queens were asked to act this week and what a bum decision that turned out to be. Despite a few standouts, the girls really couldn’t act their way out of a box. It was a bit uncomfortable to watch at times. There are some clear front winners in the competition, but as the season is still pretty fresh, we’ll have to see how it pans out. Side note: while I was happy to see the Pit Crew this week, I think we need to see a little more. Although the show is about the girls, they really aren’t eye candy.
Also, our drinking game from last week continued strong, with only half of the GaySocialites.com staff going down after the first two segments. We’re slowly building a tolerance for RuPaul and her shameless self-promotion.
Here’s this week’s look at new music to get you dancing…
“Here We Go Again” – Vicky Green feat. Kelly Rowland & Trina
Now HERE’S a song with a crazy history! Back in 2005, rapper Trina recorded a track that sampled the 1986 slow-jam “Tender Love” by Force MDs. Originally recorded with Trina featuring the song’s co-writer Teedra Moses on vocals, the bridge and refrain were later re-recorded by Kelly Rowland and released as an R&B single in 2006. Six years later, a majority of the song has been hijacked by pop singer Vicky Green – as an uptempo dance track! This effort includes Rowland’s work and some of Trina’s rapping, adding new sung-through verses by Green. Taking its cue more from the likes of dance babes Cascada or Agnes, the song is a hot Euro mess. And a fun one. We only wish Green didn’t bellow over Rowland’s contributions, which are the best parts of this hybrid ditty.
Nicki continues riding the pop dance wave with her new single from her upcoming album Roman Reloaded. A little premature to be dropping the song with her collaboration with David Guetta, ”Turn Me On” still doing well on the charts. It’s nice to hear her diversifying herself with singing and not just rapping. The song is another hit thanks to producer RedOne of Lady Gaga and JLO fame. However, I feel the best part of the song are the beats themselves and not so much her vocals. Also the “twinkle twinkle littler star” may just be one of those cheesy moments we look back in time and say, “did we really listen to this and not think it was ultra corny,” kind of how we feel about Vanilla Ice or MC Hammer now? Overall, the song is fun and definitely a dance floor hit!
After a 15 year volatile marriage, Bobby Brown said good-bye to his ex-wife Whitney Houston with a bang leavinge storming out of her funeral before the service even started.
Brown was seen entering the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J. on Saturday along with many other high profile guests such as Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, Kevin Costner, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. The difference is that Bobby was also spotted storming out of the building a few minutes later before the service had even started.
Rev. Jesse Jackson said that Brown and his entourage of “four or five people” seated themselves in the front row.They were asked to move, Jackson said, but there wasn’t room at the invitation-only service to seat them elsewhere. That’s when Bobby hit the road.
