Beyoncé's second premiere of the day has been release for everyone to see. Upgrade U is set to be a new single from her B'Day album. The track is already successful on the Billboard Hot 100, so it should have no problem in being a hit. The track is the first of 6 to have its video released. Album songs Get Me Bodied, Freakum Dress, Kitty Kat, Suga Mama and Green Light also have videos set to premiere, but on the exclusive DVD Deluxe Version of B'Day. Still Upgrade U makes up for it cuz it's a very good video. Apart for the good choreography, good sets, good wardrobe, good Beyoncé and good overall performance... Beyoncé manages to play a new character... Jay-Z! Yup, that's it! Beyoncé turns Jay-Z in this one and does some of his verses. The rapper finally appears by the end of the video, but still, Beyoncé does a hell of a show. So, if you think you're ready to watch Jay-Bee or Bey-Z, whatever you wanna call her, have a watch!
Some months ago, the original studio version of this song featuring only Beyoncé on the vocals, leaked onto the Internet. It was a catchy R'n'B tune, with some Latin flavour. Then, hours ago the studio version of the song re-recorded with Shakira leaked. This new version was clearly marked by Shakira, as new middle-eastern sounds were added to the song. The song kinda resembles me of Shakira's Ojos Así, which is pretty cool. Hours ago, the video premiered on MTV's TRL (for the likes of many screaming fans), and it was the first time we could see both singers sharing the same screen. It didn't turned out a great video with some beach scenes and all (probably because Beyoncé's label is quite busy doing more 5 videos or so for her re-release, and that must turn out rather expensive), but still, is a good video, with some scenes on studio... But what really makes it look that cool, is the fact the singers look exactly the same. Which is great. And the choreography is also pretty good. I call it Baby Boy meets La Tortura. Feel free to enjoy...
Two new tracks just leaked today... Rihanna and Nicole Scherzinger's new collaboration for the Secret Deodorant Commercial. The track is called Winning Women, and it's rather cool...
MP3 Download And the new version of Beautiful Liar, the collaboration between Beyoncé and Shakira... The video has already leaked by now...
We all know Timbaland's first single from Shock Value... Give It To Me is set to release in April. Now, rumoured second single leaked as well, some weeks ago. Throw It On Me features The Hives, and it's a five star song. Rock and Hip Hop fused and this happened...
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger will be releasing her solo material pretty soon. First single Steam already has a video, altough the singer will re-record the song in March. Ballad I'll Be Your Love was the rumoured second single, although it seems not to be true.
British sensation Natasha Bedingfield also has new material to put out. (I Wanna Have Your) Babies is set to be first single from album NB and the video has already been shot. It's a great song, which actually grown on me...
Former TLC member and Usher's ex-girlfriend Chilli is having a taste of solo work. Sounds nice so far...
Joss Stone is releasing her first single next week, and tracks keep leaking. Put Your Hands On Me is the most recent... Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now leaked alongside first single... And is as good...
Avril Lavigne's new single Girlfriend has officially premiered. What we haven't officially heard yet was the song's spanglish, Japanese and Mandarin versions...
Former Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland has been workin' and reworkin' her second solo effort... Like This features rapper Eve, and it sounds like this...
Sean Paul also has a new album coming out as well as a collaboration with Rihanna. Track Beat Like Drum has leaked, and it's wonderfully cacthy...
Shakira's most recent leaked track Pure Intuition is a new English version of the released Las De La Intución, and you may have heard it on the new Seat commercial.
R'n'B queen Beyoncé is re-releasing her B'Day in April. The album will feature spanish versions of the album's singles as well as the following unreleased tracks...
The 79th Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) were on last night as you know... Ellen DeGeneres made a hell of a show, beating the previous years' ceremonies as the best. The 4 hours long show was awesomely entertaining, making the Grammys look like crap. Highlights of the evening includes DeGeneres vacuum-cleaning the floor, taking pictures with Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg or handing Oscar winner Martin Scorsese a script of her own. Big winners include The Departed, Little Miss Sunshine, The Queen and Pan's Labyrinth, and Dreamgirls made the best song performance ever on the Academy Awards... For more, check out the winner list and the Dream's performance below...
When I first heard this song I must confess I didn't quite liked it. Just like Christina Aguilera's Hurt I found it a bit too dramatic. And then I've downloaded it and started to listen to it a bit more, and it turns out that Listen, among with Hurt, is a powerful, catchy ballad. Apart from Beyoncé's fantastic vocal skills, the song comes with an out of rate instrumental and strong lyrics. Now, I'm not the only one to like it, after all, the song has been nominated for various awards like the International Press Academy Satellite Award, the Black Reel Awards, the Satellite Awards or most importantly the Golden Globe Awards and recently the Academy Awards, all in the Best Original Song - Motion Picture category for the Dreamgirls motion picture. To date it has won the Best Song, Original or Adapted- Motion Picture at the Black Reel Awards. It's a serious candidate for the Oscar, although it lost in the Golden Globes to Prince's Song of the Heart from the Happy Feet movie. There are two videos for the song, the first one directed by Diane Martel features Beyoncé performing on stage, and the second one directed by Matthew Rolston and especially produced for VH1 features the singer-songwriter performing the song against a black and white background. Listen was released on the United States in early December, and will be released in late February on the United Kingdom and across Europe. Enjoy!
It's been a while since I last posted a Da1000 Productions video (apart from the Start Me Up videos), and I've decided to post this one. I made it and uploaded it to YouTube on October, but never got to post it on the blog. And so it's time. I first heard this mash-up when I was looking for bootlegs and got to Smash's website. From the tracks I've downloaded from there, this one proved to be a favourite and when I started to make some videos, I decided that it deserved a good video. And so I did. Featuring Beyoncé's Crazy In Love video only, the mash-up contains a sample of Saliva's Click Click BOOM!, the instrumental of Groove Armada's classic I See You Baby, and obviously Beyoncé's singing skills, as well as Jay-Z rapping. A great tune, and a good video ;) Enjoy!
Beyoncé vs. Groove Armada vs. Saliva Crazy Baby Boom!
I've been becoming a DJ lately... Pretty soon, besides my VJing, you'll be able to also listen to my DJing. Been making some mash-ups, some are quite good, while some are real shit. LOL. Now I made this one right here, before I started to really work on my mashes. I was really just playing with my computer, and this happened! When I listen to it for the first time, I kinda liked how Beyoncé's singing kinda connected with the Pussycat Dolls' beat. And after that, it stayed a bit forgotten on my pc, but then again, I decided that I had nothing more to do than to make it a video. And so I did. Based purely on Beyoncé's Déjà Vu video, we can also spot some Pussycat Dolls' appearances. I guess, this is my official mash-up, though it's nothing special... New things will come soon, so keep checking this out... Enjoy, and gimme some feedback ;)

And the nominees list for the 2007 Grammy Awards just came out. I was really pleased with this year's nominees, though Nelly Furtado could have more than just one nomination ( Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for Promiscuous with Timbaland, which they'll probably lose to Mary J. Blige's One with U2). And I was also really pleased and surprised for The Pussycat Dolls' nomination for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal for Stickwitu, they really deserve it. Other nominees include Justin Timberlake, Shakira, Madonna, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley, Natasha Bedingfield, James Blunt, Corrine Bailey Rae and Mary J. Blige (with 8 nominations), among others...
Here's some of the 2006 Grammy Awards perfomaces :
Gorillaz & Madonna - Feel Good Inc. / Hung Up
U2 & Mary J. Blige - Vertigo / One
Mariah Carey - We Belong Together / Fly Like a Bird
Jay-Z, Linkin Park & Paul McCartney - Numb/Encore/Yesterday (Mash-Up)
Now is time for a brand new Da1000 Production. Well, actually it's not that brand new... I've made this video some time ago, but never uploaded it... Now I just founded it over my PC, and got the feeling to show it to the world. It was after I made my other production Beyoncé vs. Groove Armada vs. Saliva - "Crazy Baby Boom!", which features Beyoncé's video, I took this Eurovision song and used the Crazy In Love video to make it's own video, but just for fun, never thought it turned out this funny! So don't you think I hate this ladies, much respect for Beyoncé and for Severina, but I just can't stop smiling when I see the R'n'B superstar shaking her behind to the sound of Croatian violins (or something like that), or when I see Hip Hop legend Jay-Z miming croatian traditional male chants. For anyone who's wondering "Moja Stikla" means My Stilletos or something like this in English, that's why the video has this ending. Be sure not to miss a thing, I present you Severina vs. Beyoncé - Crazy For Moja Stikla (so Beyoncé's crazy for her high heels... LoL...)
Hi and welcome to Da1000 Productions online! Over here, I'll show you my own productions, and also some more of your favourite artists... So keep checkin' on me ;)
