We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris

We Found Love" is an electro house and dance-pop song. It also displays elements of europop, pop, techno[18] and trance music. Glen Gamboa of Newsday described "We Found Love" as being the mainstream version of dubstep. According to the digital music sheet published at musicnotes.com, the song is written in the key of G? major and it is set at a groove of 120 beats per minute. The instrumentation of "We Found Love" consists of alarm bells, a keyboard, repetitive pumped-up synthesizers and 4/4 beats. It also makes use of bleeps, bloops, whoosh noises, electronic loops and complicated rhythms.

Rihanna's vocal range in the song spans one octave, from the lower note of C?4 to the higher note of C?5. Priya Elan of NME commented that Rihanna sounds "extremely relaxed" and Bill Lamb of About.com wrote that her vocals are simple and unaffected. Leah Collins of The Vancouver Sun wrote that Rihanna's vocals on "We Found Love" were similar to her own ones on "Fly". According to Elan, the keyboard work in the song bears resemblance to that in from "Only Girl (In the World)" and the melody is similar to that of "Complicated", a track taken from Rihanna's own 2010 studio album Loud. Similarly, Michael Cragg of The Guardian noted that "We Found Love" is in the same vein as "Only Girl (In the World)", with regard to its dance beat.

The lyrical content of the song is spare and largely revolves around Rihanna chanting, "We found love in a hopeless place". Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone described it as "half-baked romantic". Rihanna sings about finding love in a hopeless place. Rihanna starts the song in a falsetto airy voice as she sings, "Yellow diamonds in the light / And we’re standing side by side / As your shadow crosses mine / What it takes to come alive." The chorus of the song is essentially built on the hook line, "We found love in a hopeless place". Michael Cragg commented that the first chorus is almost being sidelined in favor of a large chunk of Harris's riff, before they join on the second chorus. The hook repeatedly rings throughout the song. In the second verse, she sings: "Shine a light through an open door / Love and life I will divide / Turn away cause I need you more / Feel the heartbeat in my mind / It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny / But I’ve gotta let it go".

Lyrics :
I know that we have to take it to the goal 'cause everyone's depending on we
See we ain't got nowhere to go but up, it's our destiny

We're choosing the way, we'll do what it takes to get to the top of the highest mountain
We'll do anything, we got to prove ourselves 'cause we know

Oh Africa...

See we'll never be able to forget this day 'cause it's the greatest day of our life
See no matter what happens at least we can say "we came, we saw, we tried"

We're choosing nowhere, we'll do what it takes to get to the top of the highest mountain
We'll do anything, we got to prove ourselves 'cause we know

Oh Africa...

This is our time to shine, our time to fly, our time to be inside the sky
Our time to soar, our time to saw, the last one in football

Aadat Se Majboor Lyrics


Bach ke zara zara, shaitaniyan meri
Oh ladies
Oh ladies
Kar ke zara zara beimaniyan meri
Oh ladies
Oh ladies
Karoon seena zori seena zori,
Tumhe hona ho manzoor
Phir dil ki chori, dil ki chori
Hai mera kya kusoor
Kya karoon Oh ladies!

O o Kya karoon oh ladies
Main hoon aadat se majboor (x2)

Huzoor huzoor
Main hoon aadat se majboor (x2)

Main hoon aadat se majboor
Main hoon aadat se majboor

Ae..
Ricky Bahl baby and he's smooth as silk
Before you blink this cat drinks the milk
You never seen him coming
Keep switching his moves
keep changing his color
Conman baby he is a lover
Cons karne ki hai khujli
Chakma deke he's out of there quickly

Aankhon ke neeche se kaajal chura loon main
Aisi safai hai meri
Entry hai phoonk si, exit toofan hai
Yeh muh dikhai hai meri
Kholun har tijori har tijori
Haan main toh hoon mashoor
Phir dil ki chori, dil ki chori hai mera kya kusoor
Kya karoon oh ladies

Oo kya karoon oh ladies
Main hoon aadat se majboor (x3)

Huzoor, huzoor main hoon aadat se majboor
Huzoor, huzoor main hoon aadat se majboor
Main hoon aadat se majboor
Main hoon aadat se majboor

Dhokha kha gayi India ki har bandi
I do it for a living call me pakhandi
Sirf cash aur ash mein jung ban.gi
Main hoon munda bada changa lekin neeyat gandi
hoo...

Cee Lo Green: I lived in violent neighborhood

Cee Lo Green says he would 'probably get shot' if he returned to where he grew up.

The American singer was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and lived there throughout his younger years. He witnessed a lot of violence as a young man, admitting he's had a gun aimed at him many times.

It's made him feel wary and the 37-year-old star owns many firearms to help him feel safe.

'Oh, I definitely have a few guns, yeah ' I'm all about self-preservation. One for the car, one for the home, another for the wife and kids. well, the ex-wife and kids. She took a few of the weapons with her. Have I ever been shot at? Yes. Shot at, but never shot,' he told the January edition of Q magazine.

'I come from an environment where it's very common, shootings and violence. What's uncommon is you don't become a product of it. It hasn't happened for a while but if I went back there ' at home, in the neighbourhood ' I could probably get shot at today! I'm pretty sure I could get shot at just as soon as I pulled up! It doesn't even have to be a certain hour of day anymore. These care are on some broad daylight, random senseless sh*t now. It's terrible. It's not like when I was growing up. There was honour among thieves then.'

Cee Lo prefers not to dwell on the more difficult aspects of his life.

He believes his experiences have shaped him and helped him grow into a successful artist.

The star went on to discuss his collection of body art, many of which he got when he was younger. The star says his back tattoos were the most painful and one of them still needs to be finished.

'There was a time when I wanted to get my entire face done, just get something really wild. I saw a guy recently and he had all solid black from the brow, down the middle of the nose, around the eyes and to the sides ' it looked like a Roman fighting helmet,' Cee Lo enthused. 'It was so awesome! That is a commitment and it's a way to say I can truly take the pain. it's quite a statement.'http://www.music-news.com

Nickelback reveal they want to write a musical

The chart-topping band Nickelback have shocked their rocker fans by revealing that they would have liked to write the musical soundtrack to the glitzy West End show Chicago, and how they now have their eyes on a theme tune for The Office.

Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake also chatted to Absolute Radio about writing for the Spiderman movie and let slip that they count The Police as a musical influence.

VB: 2002, Chad, you teamed up with Josie Scott to do the Spiderman theme song Hero. How did that come about?

N: I think Josie teamed up with him.

VB: Ah. Josie was your shadow, following you round?

N: My manager was managing the band that he was in called Saliva and they were also signed to. Island Def Jam, then Island Def Jam had just like acquired half of our record company. They were like 'Hey, you should really do a song with Josie.'

VB: Push it out there.

N: Yeah, I mean it was, it started as one of those and then I played that and he's like 'Just a minute, let me get my A&R guys.' So he brought his A&R guy in the room and he was like 'Just give them the first verse again and a little bit of the chorus.' So I played it again for them acoustically and they just said 'Yes, that's the one we should definitely do that one together.' Then we sent the demo back to the record company just to see what they were thinking and right away they sent it over to Columbia who were doing the sound track for Spiderman and they wanted the song badly, which was really nice.

VB: So the song came first, then the sound track picked it up. It wasn't written particularly for that film?

N: No. When you start a song that says 'I'm so high I can hear heaven', you know, I wasn't really talking about.

VB: Spiderman.

N: Swinging from building to building.

VB: Are there any films that you wish you'd recorded a full sound track for? Is that something you'd like to do as a band in the future?

N: Chicago. I think we could have done the whole sound track to Chicago.

VB: Nice, bit of jazz.

N: We could have done it poorly but we could have done it.

X Factor Guilty Pleasures week review

Guilty pleasures and heroes week on The X Factor. We all have them, so when the editor asked for mine I shamed myself with my confession to loving Rick Astley along with Batman. Oh, not that type of hero! Whoops!!

Last week we said farewell to Craig Colton. A truly likeable lad with a exceptional voice but his luck ran out. It's getting so close now. The good just have to keep getting better to make sure they rise above the rest. Hopefully we will hear more from him in the future. Good luck Craig.

This week, we were treated to two songs each from the remaining five contestants. Guilty pleasures followed by their heroes.

First up however, was the bonus surprise contestant, Mr Dermot O'Leary, who danced rather than sang his guilty pleasure.

Onto the serious stuff and girl band Little Mix were first up. Bit of a shaky start but they finished the song strongly.

Their second song was brilliant and I would be stunned if Little Mix did not make the Final. During their performance the note I wrote on my pad was 'Finalists'

Midas Act Janet Devlin was up next, and sadly it did not go at all well. The song choice was not good, made worse by Janet forgetting her words and she looking very uncomfortable throughout the song. Janet has her unique style, and when she sings to this style, she is the most outstanding and unique artist out there. Feedback from the judges wasn't great.

Her Heroes song was much much better, this time she sung a song she both liked herself and that matched her style. Only time will tell if Janet has done enough to stay for another week. I will be keeping everything crossed.

Now if Misha B can get the public on board, then she is set for a great career. Her vocal during her first song was world class and she is always consistently good. My wife is a big fan of hers.

Saying that though her second track was not as good and the curse of the bottom two could be beckoning again if she doesn't get the support.

Marcus Collins entertained us again during his guilty pleasure song but it is all getting a bit repetitive with him. For the first time this series I got bored watching him. Sorry mate.

The judges did their best to try and persuade us that his second song was better but we all must have been listening to a different version at home. His voice was off key at times and the song didn't work for him. I do still expect Marcus to be in the Final though and he does have the like ability factor with that cheeky grin.

Last up was Amelia Lily who did a 'smashing' version of China in Your Hands, and Gary it certainly wasn't shouty.

Her second track was not as good but I think Amelia still had a lot to offer and her first song more than made up for this offering.

The results show tonight is going to be hard to call.

Before I go I just want to congratulate the X Factor team, the finalists, JLS and One Direction for the brilliant charity track 'Wishing on a star'. If you have a spare pound please download the song as every penny is going to the 'Together For Short Lives' children's charity.

Right now where did I leave my Rick Astley CD?

American Anthems II 3 x CD

American Anthems II is three CD set to follow up the original collection from last year. Again the set picks up classic tracks from American artists, spanning 3 decades of music. There are some great forgotten tracks on here – Sixpence None the Richer for one, although bizarrely Janet performed this on X-Factor the same week the set came out!! Other ‘lsot’ tracks for me include Mr Mister’s ‘Kyrie’ (better than Broken Wings), Billy Joel’s environmental hit ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ and Rick Springfield’s’ ‘Human Touch’; all take me right back to No Limits with Jonathan King, Lisa Maxwell and Jenny Powell.

This collection also encompasses some more recent acts such as The Killers, Train and Kid Rock, with all three fitting into the set seamlessly. Finally, great to see Prince on here; doesn't appear on many compilation CDs.

Unseen Michael Jackson Footage Flops at Auction

Unseen footage from a stop on Michael Jackson's Dangerous tour in 1993 failed to sell at an auction in England on Saturday. The film, shot from the stage at a concert in Argentina by Jackson's production crew, was rejected by the singer. The only copy of the footage was presented as a gift to Jackson's driver, who put it up for auction at the Fame Bureau auction house in London.

"At this stage it has not sold," said a spokesman for the auctioneers. "We are still talking to people, but online it did not sell." In a statement, the auction house speculated the failure to find a buyer could be rooted in the fact that the film cannot be used for commercial purposes. Given the restriction, one would need to be a very serious and wealthy fan to require more than the ample footage from the tour that can be viewed for free on YouTube.

David Bowie has denied reports that he's given permission for his songs to be used in the new 'Heroes' musical.

Reports emerged yesterday (November 27) that the singer had granted permission to allow his music to be used in the stage show, which was reported to get its world premiere next March in London.

But, according to Bowie's official spokesman, this is incorrect and neither the singer nor his management are in negotiation for his songs to be used in a musical.

The statement reads: "Neither the David Bowie Organisation, nor its co-publishers EMI Music and Chrysalis, has issued a license for this performance at the O2. There are no negotiations pending for a long running musical featuring the music of Mr. Bowie".

The singer has not released a new album since 2003's 'Reality' and last performed live in 2006, despite calls from his fans to make a comeback.
