本文引用自 bryan1974 - M. Pokora's Dangerous 本台曾經隆重介紹過的「法國版瑞奇馬汀」M. Pokora 總算在2008年有大動作了。1月26日在法國坎城舉辦的NRJ音樂獎上，Pokora 就登台表演他和超級製作人Timbaland 謠傳許久後所合作的「英文」歌曲〈Dangerous〉，而Timbaland 親生胞弟、同樣活躍歌壇的Sebastian 也參一腳，於是新歌打造M. Pokora featuring Timbaland & Sebastian 這般陣仗，不得不佩服 EMI 法國從Pokora原本所屬的ULM(環球發行) 搶簽這號人氣帥哥後的處心積慮，首發單曲唱英文歌外，也趕緊把Pokora快速推向國際市場，大有與賈斯汀一別苗頭的企圖。
「義大利歌神」艾羅斯〈Eros Ramazzotti〉10月29日搶先在歐洲發行最新精選『e2〈Eros squared〉』相信是許多喜愛Eros或是熱愛義大利音樂的粉絲相當期待的話題大作，他繼過去找來Tina Turner、Joe Cocker、Cher三位享有崇高地位的公嬤輩藝人還有Andrea Bocelli、Anastacia 等合唱後，此次首度找來拉丁帥哥瑞奇馬汀合唱精選的首支主打歌"Non Siamo Soli " (We Are Not Alone)，為了這首「義大利 VS. 波多黎各」的大作，Ricky七月利用巡演的空檔前往米蘭與Eros錄音，新歌在本月21日正式在電台曝光，而兩人也早於本月上旬在美國邁阿密拍攝音樂影帶，由Wayne Isham操刀拍攝；當然依照慣例這首歌曲還會有名為"No Estamos Solos"的西語版本，10月5日發行的單曲則會加收Eros名曲"Una Storia Importante (An Important History)"的新版本。(Photo/SonyBMG)
這兩天如果四處逛一些海外的部落格，相信John Mayer 〈約翰梅爾〉應該會是隨處可見的名字！原因並不是因為潔西卡辛普森，而是GAP今年秋(冬)季的最新campaign「Classics Redefined」找來John Mayer等數位名人，這組GAP最新力作一如先前「Khakis with attitude」讓人眼睛一亮，尤其打出舉世聞名攝影女王Annie Leibovitz操刀【球王小費今年的Men's Vogue雜誌系列照片也是Annie今年代表作】，果然讓John Mayer這張最先曝光的平面廣告(點選看大圖)獲得網友好評，說他實在太HOT了。還有，根據wiki說辭，他和潔西卡的「雙J」戀情已經於今年五月畫下句點...，也難怪五月之後的約翰不僅髮型大改變，整個人也更有型〈純屬個人意見〉。

In July 2006, it was confirmed that a new album, entitled 'Never Say Never', will be released in Germany on 8th September 2006. A single, a re-working of Kim's 1988 hit 'You Came' will preceed the album and is set for release in Germany on 18th August 2006. Kim has announced that the sound of the new album will be strongly reminiscent of her earlier work. It will be a 14 track album, with eight new songs and six new versions of some earlier hits. The track listing has been announced as follows:
LL On The Up-And-Up
LL Cool J returns to the fold next week as he presents "Control Myself," taken from his upcoming album Todd Smith. The cut features Jennifer Lopez on the hook and also revisits the famous lyrics "Zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh..." from Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force's classic track "Planet Rock." If you want to get your LL fix now, you can check him out in theaters in Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah. Otherwise, you can wait until March 21 to pick up the rapper's 12th album.

新單元：一週新聞回顧
我想大家看台灣的報紙應該看不到什麼太新聞性的音樂消息吧。剛剛靈機一動，不如開闢一個很簡單的新聞專欄，寫的是外電上面一些重要新聞介紹，歡迎舊雨新知繼續蒞臨本網誌。
Never Meant To Fail
ARIA Award winning singer/songwriter Alex Lloyd returns in fighting form with the first single from his highly-anticipated fourth studio album and follow-up to 2003's critically-acclaimed 'Distant Light'.
Produced by Rick Parashar (Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Dinosaur Jr), 'Never Meant To Fail' is a lilting and heartfelt burner, littered with Alex's trademark reflective lyrics and acoustic stylings.
Already setting Oz radio on fire, 'Never Meant To Fail' is the first teasing taste of what fans can expect when the Alex's new album hits stores in October.
The single also includes three previously unreleased B-sides - 'Safe To Say', 'Like A Dream' and 'Start Stop Begin' - all produced by Alex at his own studio in Sydney.
Hurts So Bad
Following hot on the heels of his second #1 single 'Rain/Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Hurts So Bad' is the third track to be released from Anthony Callea's #1 double Platinum self-titled debut album.
Already enjoying big success at radio, 'Hurts So Bad' is shaping up to be another huge hit for the talented 23-year-old.
Written by Marc Nelkin, Jim Dyke & Eric Sanicola (Pink, Rob Thomas, Jennifer Lopez), 'Hurts So Bad' is a sexy, sultry, slow-goovin' ballad that Anthony says is "a song about love and how it can feel so right yet hurt so much".
The single will include four collectable bonus stickers as well as some hot dance remixes fans are going to love.
Click on the video icon next to the tracklisting to take a sneak peek at the hot latin-flavoured video for the song!
Anthony will be supporting the release of the single with a national tour around Australia this July. Tickets are on sale now but get in quick before they're all snapped up.
Destiny's Child to split after fall tour
By Jonathan Cohen
1 hour, 15 minutes ago
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Chart-topping R&B trio Destiny's Child will split after its fall North American tour, a spokesperson has confirmed.
Group member Kelly Rowland made the announcement on stage in Barcelona on Saturday night. The trio's "Destiny Fulfilled ... and Loving It" tour will hit North America beginning July 2 in New Orleans and wrap Sept. 10 in Vancouver.
在烏克蘭首都基輔〈Kiev〉舉辦的2005第五十屆Eurovision song contest，歷經刺激的比賽後終於在521落幕，最終由希臘女歌手Helena Paparizou以一曲〈My Number One〉http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/realmedia/eurovision/2005/nb/greece.ram 在歐陸39國的電視觀眾票選中，以230分的積分擊敗其他23國奪下后冠，Helena在2001年代表希臘參加獲得第三名，難怪從外電照片看她興奮的不得了。今年英國則派出在英國榜創下四首Top20的女歌手Javine參加，卻以18分的積分獲得倒數第三名，成績比去年代表英國參賽拿下16名的創作小帥哥James Fox還慘，不過英國最近的一次冠軍是由Katrina and the Waves在97年以一曲〈Love Shine a Light〉奪魁。另外，我們最近在討論的瑞典帥哥Martin Stenmarck是第19名。這項具有優秀傳統的歐陸年度音樂大賽從1956年開唱，成為許多歌手事業的跳板，1974的冠軍ABBA當時就以〈Waterloo〉勇奪冠軍，88年Celine Dion則代表當時她定居的瑞士參加。(成績單http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/eurovision/2005/scores.shtml ；以下外電照片有的是採排) 因為這篇文章的照片已經不見了，所以就不再提供照片喔。
