Sony Blocks Beyonce YouTube Videos

Beyonce fans can no longer watch videos on her official YouTube channel. While clicking on a video the following message appears: “This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.”

The YouTube block allegedly stems from a copyright infringement issue involving Sony. No further details are currently available though speculation is that Sony is looking for a piece of the lucrative online video market.

It’s not all bad news though, Beyonce and Lady Gaga have been breaking worldwide chart records with their “Telephone” video. The duo come in a tie with Mariah Carey for most ever No. 1 songs on the Billboard Pop Songs. The video has helped Lady Gaga reach over a billion views, an all time record on YouTube.

Rihanna and Rick Ross Rude Boy Remix

Rihanna still remains in the No. 1 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 with “Rude Boy”. It’s the second week that she’s on top and it looks like she might be heading for a third. The track earns the Airplay Gainer award for a fifth straight frame, the longest streak since Black Eyed Peas had an equal run with "I Gotta Feeling" in July/August 2009.

With such success a remix of the song couldn’t come in at a better time. Rick Ross has teamed up with Rihanna to remix her hit song “Rude Boy”.

So what do you say of the remix, does Rick Ross deliver? As Rihanna would say: “Is you big enough?”

Christina Aguilera Gives Her Fans a Taste of “Not Myself Tonight”

Christina Aguilera has added a preview to her upcoming new single “Not Myself Tonight” on her site. The Polow da Don produced song will make its official debut on March 30th at 6 P.M. EDT.

"I'm dancing a lot and I'm taking shots I'm feeling fine / I'm kissing all the boys and the girls / someone call the doctor cause I lost my mind," so she sings on the up-beat hook. "Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do."

“Not Myself Tonight” will be included on Christina’s new album “Bionic”, which will be released in the United States on June 8th. Here are Christina’s thoughts on the new album: "I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don't think anyone will expect."

What do you think of the preview for “Not Myself Tonight”?

New Erykah Badu Video – Window Seat

Erykah Badu’s new video for “Window Seat” just premiered a few hours ago, and it already might be raising some question marks. The song is beautiful as is Erykah, it basically shows how she walks through Dallas while taking off layers of her clothes until she is completely naked. I won’t spoil the end, check it for yourselves.

If you’d like to understand the video better, have a look at the lyrics for “Window Seat” below. Also, don’t forget that “New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh” will be released on Tuesday.

Erykah Badu – Window Seat lyrics:

so, presently i’m standing
here right now
you’re so demanding
tell me what u want from me
concluding
concentrating on my music , lover , and my babies
makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town…
so can i get a window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a ticket outta town
a look around
and a safe touch down
window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a chance to fly
a chance to cry
and a long bye bye..
but i need u to want me
need you to miss me
i need your attention
i need you next me
i need someone to clap for me
i need your direction
somebody say come back
come back baby come back
i want u to need me
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
so, in my mind i’m tusslin’
back and forth ‘tween here and hustlin’
i don’t wanna time travel no mo
i wanna be here
i’m thinking
on this porch i’m rockin’
back and forth light lightning hopkins
if anybody speak to scotty
tell him beam me up..
so can i get a window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a ticket outta town
a look around
and a safe touch down
window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a chance to fly
a chance to cry
and a long bye bye..
but i need you to miss me
need somebody come get me
need your attention
need your energy yes i do
need someone to clap for me
need your affection
somebody say come back
come back baby come back
i want u to need me
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
but can i get a window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a ticket outta town
a look around
and a safe touch down…
i just need a chance to fly
a chance to cry
and a long
bye bye……..

R. Kelly Releases “Be My #2” and “Echo”

R. Kelly has just released two new videos titled “Be My #2” and “Echo”  from his 2009 “Untitled” album.

“Be My #2” basically shows R. Kelly’s “good life”, ladies adoring him and praising him while he sings in a club, it also involves bikinis and a pool. The second song, “Echo”, only includes R. Kelly with some rather corny backgrounds such as a fake mountain and a rainbow. Not quite sure which video is the best, just view it for yourselves and pick one.

“Untitled” did well in the Billboard Hot 200, as it peaked to number 4 last year. Released singles include “Number One” feat. Keri Hilson, and “Religious”.
