SIA does a covers the Madonna hit "Oh, Father" , and the results are...

Like chalk and cheese. In a good way.

First, let me just stress how I strongly agree that this Madonna song from her hit album Like A Prayer in 1989 is way underrated. "Oh Father" is the 13th song from Sia’s fourth studio album ‘We Are Born’ which has leaked online one week ahead of it’s official release. The album was penned almost entirely by Sia herself, but it does contain a cover of Madonna’s late-80′s classic and ode to child abuse “Oh Father”.

I like the way Sia puts her own spin to the mellow and painful ballad and albeit it seems a little fast in tempo compared to Madonna's, the effect is distinctively different. Sia removed the piano and the strings from the original version, her vocal delivery renders the much necessary drama for the intriguing child abuse-themed track. Aptly eerie and haunting, this cover really shows how Sia made this one her own and not a total copy of the original. Bravo!

Sia’s We Are Born will be available for purchase in Australia on June 18, followed by the States on June 22. While waiting, check “Oh Father” below.

MADONNA: I Can't Forget


A lot of people are afraid to say what the want. by Maurice Flower



Apologies everyone. This an oldie from Madonna called I Can't Forget. The love song is written by David Foster, with a ballad feel reminiscent of Something to Remember.

New Justin and Madonna track. We all know Justin's been busy with his upcoming movie, The Social Network but he just can't help making music, especially when its with the queen of pop, Madonna.

Memorable Moments in Diva Fashion History


Beyoncé has had me scratching my head ever since she started promoting her new album. First, she glued that metal glove to her hand (popularized by goddess kylie Minogue, BTW), then wore avant-garde looks by Gareth Pugh and Thierry Mugler that were much less sasha-fierce than bewildering. Whether you like her recent fashion choices or not, they're not going to be forgotten anytime soon (haha). Read in on the many memorable moments in Diva Fashion History, courtesy of NYmag and Example.

Go inside for more.



Barbra Streisand caused quite a stir when she wore a see-through sequined pants ensemble to the Oscars. This style was then copied later by Britney Spears (from what I remember were the most opaque pants ever) for her infamous 2007 Video Music Awards performance.



Ah, Tina Turner. Where do I begin? The diva was known for her legs and her hair (arguably a wig fluffed in the dryer). Though this outfit doesn't look far off from something Rihanna might wear today.


"Cher's sailor-laden "If I Could Turn Back Time" video is one of the best ever. The fishnet body stocking she wore under a barely-there black one-piece bathing suit caused such a stir when it came out in 1989 that MTV eventually would only play the video after 9 p.m. That outfit also sold quite a few aerobics tapes." - NYMAG


Cyndi Lauper wearing one of her signature bright dresses with bold accessories on the cover of her She's So Unusual album. God, I swear I love the eighties.



"Janet Jackson wanted to convey socially conscious messages in her Rhythm Nation album in 1989. So maybe she ditched the sexy clothes so people would pay attention to the words coming out of her mouth. All that was almost forgotten when the Super Bowl happened." - NYMAG


Madonna hasn't received the most favorable reviews for her recent fashion choices, which are by and large forgettable compared to the Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra she wore on her Blond Ambition tour. What a way to usher in the nineties. - NYMAG

Totally agreeable. Those cones are imprinted in everyones minds, I'm sure. And now for the oblogatory .gif. Ta-daaah!


MADONNA CONE BRA, SO ICONIC.


Eventually Courtney Love would get a glam makeover and a nose job. But before all that, she traipsed around looking, well, ruined. Her music video for "Violet" is a prime example. - NYMAG


It's hard to remember a time when Mariah didn't dress like a sexpot, but it's even harder to forget the video that started it all, for "Honey." Fresh off her divorce from Tommy Mottola, Mariah looked better -- and barer -- than ever. God, Mariah looks so good in that video. :)



In the year 2000, Jennifer Lopez gave everyone a reason to remember the Grammys. Her boobs in that Versace dress are still a marvel of modern fashion engineering (and tape). This I always see in "Fashion Faux pas"-like articles.



Not long after she went solo, Gwen Stefani began parading around with a group of Harajuku girls and trying to dress like one herself. Still have not forgiven her.

M.I.A. has wowed us with her fashion choices, but probably never in a good way. Here, she performs at Coachella in 2005 looking like the Saved by the Bell theme song. - NYMAG


This is Christina Aguilera trying to level with Britney's Toxic era. Before Christina Aguilera discovered the joys of holy matrimony and motherhood, she went through her dark phase of self-discovery. But the arse, good lawwwd!

It pains me to look at this picture, especially since Britney Spears has her career back on track these days. This was utterly embarrassing, even for the viewers part. I had to change the channel because of this image. Sorry Brit.

At the Video Music Awards this year, Rihanna performed with a wad of toilet paper dangling from her derriere. We love Riri, but hasn't anyone ever told her sometimes it's okay to just wear less stuff? - NYMAG

Oh, B. You don't have to point. We can see that thing from the nosebleed section. - NYMAG


Andre Leon Talley (this guy I always see in runway shows and on Vogue *of course) and Jay-Z FYT :)

The Biggest Egos In The Music Industry

Kanye West

West claims he's the voice of his generation. He compares himself to Michael Jordan. He bitches loudly and publicly when he doesn't win awards. He's not afraid to use his real name. Whether or not he is his generation’s defining voice, it’s clear that he definitely has its biggest ego.

Me: Kanye has an ego because he's so short. Little man syndrome. Like those guys in the gym who are midgets but work out sooo much because they think it will make them look ~taller~ ... lol I think Kanye's "ego" is actually a combination of insecurity and being a serious perfectionist.

More INSIDE!

Bono
Any dude who can meet with world leaders one weekend and then have two 19-year olds sit on his lap the next has a BIG ego. Bono's life is dedicated to bigness. He sings big anthems, not songs. He's out to save rock ’n’ roll and the world. He's not just a rock star; he’s a messiah, at least to himself. And, yes, I'm a little jealous.

John Lennon
How huge was John Lennon's ego? He said his band was bigger than Jesus. What more proof do you need? Even Kanye hasn’t gone that far. By the way, this week the Vatican finally forgave Lennon for his 1966 dis. Those guys can hold a grudge.

Noel and Liam Gallagher
Oasis' brothers spent most of the '90s claiming they were the best band in the world and boasting how they saved British rock from ruin. They also spent a lot of time writing songs "inspired" by a lot of other British rock. It takes a big ego to remake Beatles songs and call them your own.


ME: I don't care that oasis are full of themselves, they make me laugh with the ridiculous things they say.

Madonna
Madonna's ego is so big she believes that she can actually stop time. The Material Girl is on a never-ending quest to be forever twenty-something. Her bionic limbs are the first step toward immortality. Her insistence on pretending to be the teen pop star of the moment is the second step. The third? It probably will have something to do with her next boy toy.

Me: Madonna, act your age. No botox can fix those varicose veins of yours.

Terence Trent D'Arby
You might not remember this late-'80s nouveau RNB artist. He made a debut album in 1987 that many thought was brilliant, especially him. D'Arby liked it so much he announced that he was going to be bigger than the Beatles. That's why you don't remember him. The Beatles saying they're bigger than Jesus? OK. Emerging R&B star saying he's bigger than the Beatles? Not OK.

Me: Who this?

Well guys, now that the Stuart Price remix of Madonna 's Miles Away has leaked, a few hundred blog would be posting this track a few minutes from now. Its not bad, but given his remixes of the Confessions tracks, I'm sorta expected a little more from him and this track. What do you all think?

VIDEO PREMIER: Robyn - Cobrastyle



One of my favorite ladies from Sweden, Robyn,  has released her FRESH video of Cobrastyle! Robyn is really something, don't you think? Friendly blog Sheena Beaston was one of the first who got in it.

Sweet! No wonder Madonna got Robyn for her Europe Sticky and Sweet tour.



September ended, and as the 10th month of the year begins, lets make a good headstart with (in my opinion), a few of the most party-savvy remixes I encountered over at the net. Let these remixes be the drumbeat that guides you. No I don't have a lot of free time. But I certainly make time for good music, and these seven tracks are it. Enjoy the music, tell your friends, and if you have anything in mind, tell me.

When we think of remix, we always have that percieved concept of how it should start and end. Well, this track starts in an unorthodox way but ends the way everyone wants it to.... Amazing.



Here is the rest of the list:

NEW REMIX #2 : Frank Musik - When You're Around (Boys Noize Remix)

NEW REMIX #3 : Vampire Weekend - "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" (The Teenagers Remix)

NEW REMIX #4: The Killers - "Human" (Christian Vorbau Remix)

NEW REMIX #5 : M.I.A. - Planes Booty (Atomic Hooligan Remix)

NEW REMIX #6 : Radiohead - "Reckoner" (Diplo Remix)

NEW REMIX #7 : Get Lucky (Twelves Remix) - New Young Pony Club

James Morrison calls Madonna "the most impolite celebrity he's ever met".



 James Morrison has branded Madonna "the most impolite celebrity he's ever met". The singer said so because the 50-year-old stunner she blanked him at a recording session. The 'Wonderful World' hitmaker was working at a studio in Los Angeles when he introduced himself to the Material Girl but claims she said nothing and then ignored him.

"I was recording in a studio in LA and she came in to speak to a producer and someone asked if I wanted to meet her," the Daily Star quoted him, as saying. "I'm not her biggest fan but thought I'd say hello so I went over and said: 'Hello, I'm James, nice to meet you,'' and put my hand out to shake hands.

"She just looked at it and said: 'And what do you do?' I told her I was a singer and she just stared at me and didn't say anything. It was really uncomfortable. Then she just ignored me," he said. He added: "F*** her, though, it's just a matter of common courtesy. It doesn't matter what someone does for a living. She's just rude. There's no excuse for it."

The Brit award winner, whose new album Songs for You, Truths for Me is released on September 29th, became a father at the weekend after his girlfriend Gill gave birth to a baby girl.

I know you're a living legend Madonna, but try to be nice to little people around. There are so many stories like this... Why am I not surprised she's a total bitch
He's a real songwriter and musician, not a borrower and collaborator
