day 338

dancing with michael jackson
last night, dancing with the stars paid tribute to the late king of pop through a dance medley of some of his greatest hits. it's been four months since mj died and, needless to say, the tribute was a little late. i guess it's good to remind people of michael 1) around the time they'd probably start to forget and 2) around the time of his concert movie, this is it, being released. the dance isn't horrible, but it's not like it 's all that entertaining either. and bringing out latoya jackson was just unnecessary. does she have some sort of contract with abc? she got to guest host the view and now this? too much latoya.

new music: chris brown and john mayer
after the release of rihanna's new single yesterday, chris has taken the opportunity to one-up her. first, he announces he'll be going on a fan appreciation tour starting next month. and now he's released another new song from his upcoming album, "crawl." a few weeks ago "transform ya" leaked online. it's reportedly the first single from chris' upcoming album. "crawl" is better than rihanna's new offering and in line with chris' previous music outings. check it out above.
after a lukewarm reception to lead single "who says," john mayer has released both a new song and video today: "heartbreak warfare." the song is much better than "who says," but in the same droopy duldrums genre. i miss the happy, go free sounds of "bigger than my body" and "your body is a wonderland," not this sad mopey stuff. what did jennifer aniston do to john that he's so emotional? check out the song above and pray that there's at least one upbeat track on john's upcoming release.
