TITO JACKSON'S DAUGHTER TANAY IS NEW STAR

Tanay Jackson On YouTube

Tanay Jackson, Tito Jackson's daughter and the niece of megastar Michael Jackson, launches a new campaign to show the world just what she's got going for her...and that's a lot. Like her uncle, Jackson combines exciting, evocative songwriting with expressive and energetic stage routines. Reviews say “she looks incredible onstage...a great performer,” and “Tanay obviously takes after her Aunt Janet.” She records in the Pop music genre.

Her most recent music video “Honey” is available for viewing on YouTube; Jackson is the songwriter and director. She is the only daughter of former The Jackson Five/The Jacksons guitarist Tito Jackson and the younger half-sister of Taryll, Tito and TJ Jackson, members of the singing group 3T.

Like the first generation of the Jackson family, Tanay Jackson discovered her natural abilities at a young age. Raised by her mother in Maryland, the gifted songwriter and performer was first recognized by her fourth grade music teacher who insisted on vocal training for the child prodigy. By the age of 12, Jackson began writing poetry and music for fun. She has received writing royalties from JASCAR in Japan for one of her songs; Sony Urban noticed her excellent writing and tried to negotiate a publishing deal with the talented performer.

She has also taught Hip Hop and Modern dance at the Dancers Workshop in Brooklyn, NY. Jackson also managed to land professional work as a dancer. With her electrifying elegance and style, Mr. John Blassingame, founder of Word-up Magazine, chose to enter Jackson in the Hype Hair beauty pageant. Jackson is an advocate for the weight loss community and an enthusiastic supporter of the Fresh Air Fund.

Tanay Jackson received a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management in 2006 and is now CEO and President of Roth Entertainment and Lunar Music. She is currently touring the country.

“The Spotlight” and “Honey” are both available online at iTunes.

Is Justin Bieber's Girlfriend Selena Gomez Jealous Of His Success

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber

Word is 18-year-old Justin Bieber's girlfriend, actress, Selena Gomez, 19, is feeling a bit left out and jealous, regarding his massive fame as a teen singer turned actor. Gomez is not happy that the music industry has not embraced her in the manner they have Bieber, who is currently one of the top selling stars in the entertainment industry. 

Justin Bieber

Bieber's new album "Believe" is set to debuted at number one on the Billboard charts this week. While Gomez is said to be happy for him, she is concerned about the lack of momentum in her music career and the absence of success she's had on the big screen in motion picture films that have bombed. Her television career has done okay, but most industry bigwigs do not consider a Disney television series a big deal.

Bieber: I so need a toilet right now

Bieber has been kissing up- to his fans in a major way, trying to shift copies of the CD, fearing he will be a one hit wonder, tossed onto the pile of former child stars whose careers did not have longevity and were saddled with legal troubles for misconduct. Time will tell if Bieber makes it out of that bunch.

FAR EAST MOVEMENT'S REMY LISTENING PARTY

 Far East Movement

Last night, the LA-based electro pop quartet Far East Movement and Rémy Martin XO hosted a listening party for their anticipated new album “Dirty Bass.” The party was held at the Marvimon in downtown Los Angeles, and featured a Dirty Bass themed photo booth complete with props including glasses, chains, and a retro boom box.

Guests sipped Rémy Martin XO cocktails including the Rémy Sidecar while they enjoyed the group’s performances of their new hit songs Dirty Bass, Turn Up The Love, and more, moments before the album “Dirty Bass” dropped at midnight. They also pumped up the crowd by performing their hit song Like a G6. A special moment came when the group paid tribute to Adam “MCA” Yauch by playing their cover of the hit Beastie Boys song, "So What'cha Want."

Far East Movement closed the set by encouraging their fans to grab a Rémy cocktail and a taco and join them afterwards to party and dance the night away.

Is There A Rivalry Between Usher And His Protege Justin Bieber

 

 Justin Bieber

Is there a rivalry between 18-year-old pop star Justin Bieber and his mentor, Usher, 34. Much like Bieber, Usher was also a child star, whose career was launched at age 15, making him a star. Usher signed Bieber to a deal on his subsidiary label and began making him over into Usher jr. with a dose of rival Justin Timberlake, who is bitter about the whole thing.  

Usher Raymond

The two have sold millions of records, with Usher maintaining a comfortable lead in the sales department. However, Bieber has sold many singles, thanks to digital sales from downloading outlets such as iTunes. Recently, Usher began living vicariously through Bieber in trying to recapture his youth. Therefore, is there a competition between the two or any jealousy. Does Usher want to pull Bieber's hair out and does Bieber want slap Usher across the face using one of Michael Jackson's old sequined gloves, in a tender and delicate, yet angry way.

He is even sampling Jackson's music on his new album "Believe." Will Bieber get a Geri Curl next? (I sure hope so LOL). How about a sequined glove? Will he buy his own monkey or perhaps dangle a baby from a hotel balcony?" As the slogan goes, "Inquiring minds want to know."

Did Justin Bieber Break Up With Selena Gomez For Album Sales

 

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez 

On April 25, 2012 the Judiciary Report published the article "If Justin Bieber Broke Up With Selena Gomez Would It Improve The Sales Of His Sophomore CD." On May 17, 2012, Bieber sent Gomez a tweet on Twitter leading many to believe they had broken up. 

A few days ago Bieber wrote on Twitter, "Thank you for the time i had with you, but i have to move on now..." The aforementioned statement lead many to wonder exactly what the young singer meant and if he had truly broken things off with Gomez. Then again, was this to help his album sales for his forthcoming album "Believe" slated for release shortly.

Is the "Boyfriend" singer ready to move on to being...well, somebody else's boyfriend? Impossible as it may sound, it's definitely possible. In fact, on May 17, Justin himself posted a bizarre message on Twitter that seems to say it's a definite possibility. "Thank you for the time i had with you," Justin wrote, but i have to move on now"...

Is Singer Usher Living Vicariously Through Pop Protégé Justin Bieber

Is He Leading Him Down The Right Path

Justin Bieber and baby mama beater Floyd Mayweather, are mentioned in the following MTV article

A recent candid interview with MTV gave the impression that R&B singer, Usher, 33, is living vicariously through his pop protégé Justin Bieber, 18, in trying to recapture his teen years. Is this helping or hurting the young star that has found himself in a bit of controversy.

Usher stated of Bieber's rise to fame, "I relive every bit of it, from the screaming fans and the first reactions, shutting down the malls. The first reaction is like no other. To be able to be there, to be there with him and go through those emotions and see that shock for the first time [is exciting]."
 

Usher

Usher should be careful in trying to live vicariously through Bieber. Let him make his own decisions and don't steer him wrong any more, as you have in a few decisions. Bieber's latest interview with GQ magazine features him using very foul and crude sexual language that sets a bad example.

Bieber's sexual relationship with girlfriend, Selena Gomez, when he was underage, also caused intense scrutiny. It should be noted, it followed the same pattern Usher's life did at that age. Bieber has professed he is a Christian, which is good, but he must realize in order to live up to what God expects of us, we must eschew certain things.

Bieber should be in no rush to look older than his age. It is wiser to accept where one is in life at any given time and make the best of it. He doesn't know what tomorrow will bring, so he may as well take things slowly and not try to age himself.

Houston tragically died on February 11, 2012 of a cocaine overdose, which led to her drowning in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California.

Posthumous sales will also help to solidify the title.

Has Selena Gomez Made Justin Bieber's Music Better Or Worse

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber

When pop singer Justin Bieber released his first CD at age 15, he was not dating his current girlfriend, Disney actress, Selena Gomez. His sophomore project, released on the year of his 18th birthday, to mark his adulthood, was recorded during the time they have been dating.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez 

Relationships usually influence people's music. The question is has Gomez made his music better or worse. The first single from his first album "Baby" was more popular than "Boyfriend" which is the first track from his his new album. Are audiences accepting the adult Bieber or is it a difference in the quality of the songs.

Will Justin Timberlake Take On Justin Bieber Over Public Comments His Labeled Ripped Off His Work

 

Justin Bieber 

Many websites and music lovers have been stating, Justin Bieber's new "Girlfriend" song and video, rip off the earlier work of singer Justin Timberlake and his former boyband, NSYNC, released 10-years prior. Timberlake had it out for Bieber long before the copying surfaced and I am told is secretly seething at what has transpired with the teen star's new project. However, due to entertainment industry politics, will Timberlake bite his tongue or try to bite Bieber's head off.

Justin Timberlake 

Bieber has effectively replaced Timberlake on the pop scene, as the new prince of pop and is now using his music and videos to finish him off. I don't know about you, but if Timberlake and Bieber fight, for once the Judiciary Report will not be taking the high road and will publish any videos or photos emanating from the beatdown (just teasing).

People Are Comparing Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" To Justin Timberlake And NSYNC's "Girlfriend"

Copyright Infringement

Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" (2012)

Many websites are comparing Justine Bieber's new music video "Boyfriend" to NSYNC's video from 10-years ago "Girlfriend." Even the titles and the sound of the songs are similar. For his transition into adulthood in the music industry, Bieber is being patterned after Justin Timberlake, who previously dissed him on the television show "Saturday Night Live." It was ironic, as Timberlake tried to sign Bieber to a record deal, but Usher beat him to the punch.

NSYNC's "Girlfriend" (2002)

Bieber recently stated he has not seen the NYSNC video for "Girlfriend" but lightning is going to strike the little booger for lying. Even I saw a clip of it years ago and I'm not a Timberlake fan (though I did think NSYNC's music was better than his unoriginal solo material). This is not the best way for Bieber to start off his sophomore album, as critics will be brutal over the copying. Trying to make Justin Bieber the new Justin Timberlake is a bad idea for his credibility, as critics look for originality.

Justin Bieber (left) in 2012's "Boyfriend" and Justin Timberlake (right) in 2002's "Like I Love You." Look familiar. 

Is it just me or does Justin Bieber's new video "Boyfriend" remind you of Justin Timberlake's video for "Like I Love You." Ironically, as mentioned days ago, people are stating Bieber sounds like Timberlake on the track. As stated before, Timberlake took a lot from Bieber's mentor Usher, for his own career.

Justin Timberlake's "Like I Love You" video

Now Usher is taking from Timberlake for Bieber. Actually, he took Bieber from Timberlake who almost signed him. If you guys thought Timberlake got mad before, just wait until he sees the video. Will Timberlake pitch another hissy fit. I can only hope (LOL).

Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" video looks and sounds like Timberlake's "Like I Love You." Usher "got some esplaining to do."

As the Judiciary Report was the first to report months ago, Bieber's label has been trying to give him a more mature sound and image, in anticipation of his 18th birthday, which occurred recently. However, based on feedback, many people think he still looks younger than his age. It's probably because he's pretty. That's right, he's a pretty boy. When you have a young face and overly groomed hair, that will happen.  

 

Justin Bieber Confirms His New Song About Mariah Yeater Is His Billie Jean

Justin Bieber

 

On April 27, 2012 the Judiciary Report published the article Justin Bieber Pulls A Michael Jackson Writing His Own "Billie Jean" For New Album. A week later the Bieber confirmed the Judiciary Report's claims the song in question on his forthcoming new CD is his "Billie Jean."

Bieber also danced around the subject of how he chose the video girl for the clip "Boyfriend." He was asked "How did you pick the girl in it?" to which Bieber responded, "They had two girls based on the pictures and we picked the one who looked best on camera. It was kind of a group thing. She was like really beautiful but on camera it gave this cool vibe. She looked like Pocahontas."

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Yea right, he just said that so his girlfriend Selena Gomez wouldn't get mad and smack him up. Did you also notice the "Pocahontas" reference Bieber made, which mirrors his interracial relationship with Gomez (*making mocking kissing noises*).

Lastly, Bieber discussed an elevator game he plays with his bodyguard Kenny that should be a point of worry for his parents. Bieber revealed, "In an elevator. Kenny and all us have this game where we just hit each other in the balls. It’s just funny." If you want to have any little Biebers in the future, I suggest you stop doing that or there will be no MexiCanadian babies with Gomez.

Justin Bieber

Side Bar: Bieber could have used another argument in his defense during the brief paternity case. He could have stated the child is not his, because the baby did not wear his pants sagging below his butt. Case closed. Once again Bieber, pull those pants up and stop showing your little butt. That goes for all of you out there doing that.

Justin Bieber: Song About Mariah Yeater Is Like My ‘Billie Jean’ 

 

10.17 PM EDT 05.03.2012 - Justin Bieber revealed more details about the song he wrote after falsely being accused by Mariah Yeater of fathering her child! Justin Bieber has always felt a connection to the late Michael Jackson, but we doubt he ever expected it to be like this one! The 18-year-old pop star was accused by a girl named Mariah Yeater of fathering her child — something that was totally untrue and he’s now singing about on his upcoming album, Believe.

“The baby situation — which was totally not true, by the way — I wrote a song about that,” Justin said during an interview with MTV May 3. “It’s on there. It’s like my ‘Billie Jean.’ At the end of the day, I’m human. I go through all the problems you go through.”...

*What do you think of “Boyfriend”?
I’m happy. I mean, I kind of switched it up from all the teasers. I wanted to do something that was a little more mature. My fans are all growing with me. It was something more mature and that all my fans would like.

*How did you pick the girl in it?
They had two girls based on the pictures and we picked the one who looked best on camera. It was kind of a group thing. She was like really beautiful but on camera it gave this cool vibe. She looked like Pocahantas... 

*Tell us about your elevator game.
In an elevator. Kenny and all us have this game where we just hit each other in the balls. It’s just funny...

Justin Bieber Does Sound Like Justin Timberlake On The Song "Boyfriend" But He Doesn't Mind

Justin Bieber said he does not mind people thinking he sounds like Timberlake, but he does not think there are similarities in their voices. Um, you sound like him on that song.

There have been claims online that pop singer, Justin Bieber, 18 sounds like fellow popster, Justin Timberlake, 30, on his new song "Boyfriend." I heard the song yesterday and have to agree, he does sound like Timberlake, who dissed him on the television show "Saturday Night Live" (Justin Timberlake Slams Justin Bieber: Put A Wig On A Chipmunk And Train Him To Act Like A Black Man).

Justin Timberlake

It's funny, as R&B singer, Usher, who is Bieber's mentor, has official replaced Timberlake with Bieber, much to the former's annoyance. Was this Usher's revenge, for Timberlake taking his crown several years ago. However, it's indisputable at this point that Bieber has become the bigger music star.
    

Side Bar: On the song "Boyfriend" is the Bieber really singing about eating "Fondue." How cheesy (get the joke?).
