Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton is following fellow Nicole Scherzinger's paw prints into the solo career business. Nicole has been collaborating with several artists like Shaggy, Will Smith, Avant or Diddy, and now Melody teamed up with rapper Jibbs for his third single Go Too Far. The track is an hip hop update of Janet Jackson's Let's Wait a While (the chorus is sampled on Jibbs' version), and it's a rather good hip hop track if you ask me. Melody does a nice job and actually sings in a low key (there's no trace of her powerful back-ups on The Pussycat Dolls' repertoire). Melody is also releasing a solo album, just like Nicole. The Beginning is set to release around the same time as Nicole's solo album, and it's produced by Darkchild, Timbaland, Will.i.am and Pharrell Williams. Her first single is rumoured to be True Love Lasts and will feature Pharrell. While we wait for any of her tracks to leak, we can listen to Nicole's Steam (awesome track by the way) and this collaboration with Jibbs... Enjoy!
After premiering the first taste of my mash-up album two months ago, it's time to present you the official first single from Future Sound Booster. The album features popular dance tracks, mashed-up with the acapella versions of today's most popular hits. For the first single I've used french DJ Pakito's hit single Living On Video and mashed it with The Pussycat Dolls' fourth single from their debut album PCD, Buttons. Culminating on a 3:20 minutes wonder bootleg, Living On Buttons was actually one of the easier to produce. Nevertheless, it's the one that is more catchy and addictive. The video was also very fun to make, altough it turned out a bit Low Quality-ish in the end, mainly because of one of the programs I use to make videos (Honestech that is) and YouTube's uploading system (which is not that good by the way). Since Viacom International has been removing some of my videos from my YouTube account, I added a disclaimer on the video. The video is for promo use only, period. A second single is being chosen, and the video for it will be on the making soon, so expect a new premiere soon :D... It all comes down to this in the end : I really hope you all like it, cuz this one means really something to me, and besides that, have fun!

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 ;)
Beyoncé vs. The Pussycat Dolls - Loosen Up My Déjà Vu (Ft. Jay-Z)
It's Christmas day! And I couldn't not write you today, so I'm just passing by to give you my Christmas presents. The first one it's one of my favourite Christmas songs this year. British girl band Girls Aloud made a version of the very traditional Jingle Bell Rock. It's a bit similiar to the version presented on the motion picture Mean Girls, but this has more...Girls Aloud into it. Nevertheless, it's a quite good version, so here's their performance of the song, as well as the mp3 ;)
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)

"Don't Cha", their first world wide hit, is nowadays known by pretty much everyone, as well as the follow up singles "Stickwitu", "Beep" and "Buttons"... recently, these Pussycats released two brand new singles : "I Don't Need a Man" over Europe, and "Wait a Minute" on the U.S.. It is said that if "Wait a Minute" does well, their 6th european release "I Don't Need a Man" will also become a single on the American ground. And one last rumour says that "How Many Times, How Many Lies" can become the final single for "PCD", with their concerts' footage as the official music video. Either way, I've made them a new video back in late September, using Aggro1's mashing-up of "Don't Cha" with Fischerspooner's "Happy".
