beyonce has released 2 new singles from her double disc i am...sasha fierce, "halo" from i am..., and "diva" from sasha fierce. the videos are similar in concept to her two previous releases off these discs, "if i were a boy" and "single ladies." click here to check out halo, and here to check out "diva." halo uses light pastel filters to color the footage and there doesn't really seem to be a story line - beyonce practices in a ballet studio and sits on a couch with her man. but, the song is radio worthy. the coolest shots are the ones with beyonce underwater - a concept britney should consider if she ever turns "out from under" into a single. the song is more fun to listen to and the video is more fun to watch than "if i were a boy." with "diva," beyonce is definitely tapping into sasha's dance reserves. mixing the styling of the "ring the alarm" and "if i were a boy" videos, beyonce seems to be sticking to the 3 girl dance routine. the dance is quite a bit simpler than the "single ladies" choreography and is sure to result in a rise in youtube impersonations. maybe with the simple choreography b will mix it up during her performances and not do the same dance every time. diva is a mix of lil wayne's "a milli" and other tracks off sasha fierce, like "radio" and "videophone." the latter track even makes an appearance at the end of the "diva" video, alluding to the idea that it may very well be the next single and have a video which continues from the "diva" concept.
speaking of popstars starting with the letter b...
britney spears is gearing up for her "the circus...staring britney spears" tour in 2009 and is making some changes to her entourage. the princess of pop is dropping long time choreographers wade robson and andre fuentes in lou of mega tour director jamie king. robson has been with brit from the start of her career and is responsible for the "baby one more time" video. robson and fuentes recently choreographed britney's comeback performances in europe, creating new dances for "womanizer" and "circus." while wade has originally been announced as the tour's director, her has been dropped so that the man responsible for madonna's recent "sticky and sweet" megatour, christina aguilera's "back to basics" tour, and the spice girls reunion can take over. king is known for highlighting the performer and is sure to make the "circus" tour big. hopefully we'll get to see some old school spears dance moves and not the simple stuff we've been treated to thus far on the promotional tour. this tour will also heavilt feature material from spear's last effort blackout, which she was unable to tour with as she was going crazy.
pete wentz needs to shut up
first he blabbed all about his sexual conquests and his married sex life on howard stern, and now the face of fall out boy is discussing other intimacies about his life with ashlee simpson. wentz talked to a sirius morning show all about his dislike of the taste of ashlee's breast milk (wtf? why is he drinking it??) and discussed the couples' weight issues. pete, who usually stays around 135, says he's "ballooned" to close to 150 and has "fat face," while ashlee is struggling to drop the baby weight. pete thinks she has it easier as breast feeding is helping the pounds come off, while he's having to resort to exercise. um, the last i checked, we all have to resort to exercise. and the strenuousness of walking is just too much on wentz's tiny frame...how about you head back into the hollywood hills and come back out when you can conduct a professional interview? or let ashlee do some of the talking. i would love to hear her (or her father, for that matter) take on all this.
