She played the lead girl," Martin Johnson, the lead vocals says. "We did this faux arcade set-up with the band as 'carnival' guys.

Jessie James Releases Self-titled Debut Album

21 year-old newcomer Jessie James is releasing her self titled debut album, "Jessie James," and it's available at AmazonMP3 for only $1.99 today. The album, a mix of country-inspired pop, with 12 tracks and is led by the radio hit, "Wanted" hits stores Tomorrow, but Amazon is offering it a day early at least $6 less in most stores.
Jessie was born April 12, 1988 on a military base in Italy, and moving around the country for most of her childhood and adolescent years, Jessie took harbor in music, and its paid off. She never knew there was supposed to be a difference; her boots-and-beats debut is equal parts Carrie Underwood and Christina Aguilera. Jessie falters on a handful of snoozy power ballads but plays one heck of a small-town sex kitten on up-tempo numbers like 'Blue Jeans,' where she claims her tight pants get her into the club for free, and 'My Cowboy,' a sly country-rap jam.
James says she wanted to make music that was empowering to women. "I remember growing up and listening to other artists like Christina Aguilera and Shania Twain were I just felt empowered, and I felt great about myself. I wanted to make music just like that." But with looks like that, she certainly won't be limiting her fan base to the female gender. Destined to steal her way into the heart of pop and create her own legend, Jessie was lucky enough to get signed quickly to Mercury Records. This petite powerhouse with amazing vocal power and range will soon release "Wanted", the leading single from Jessie's debut album.
"I only want to be wanted by you," belts out newly minted pop diva on “Wanted," and it’s love at 1st listen. The music video of "Wanted" was shot on March 28, directed by Travis Kopach in LA. Actor Erik Von Detten cameo on video as a cop agent that pursuit Jessie, and he kisses her in the end. Jessie's songs are well done and her voice is just fine and dandy. For Jessie, music is her life, her passion, her lover. She won’t even date, with her focus saved strictly for her career. She has no other choice. And now, she is fully prepared to see all those childhood dreams finally come true. Jessie’s self-titled bow proves she’s more than ready to seize her moment.

Mariah Carey | "Obsessed" (Video)

The five-time Grammy winner, Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970 in NY), was the most successful artist of the 1990s and ranked as the best-selling female artist of the U.S., with sales of over 200 million albums worldwide. The new quasi-hit "Obsessed" is the lead single from her 12th forthcoming studio album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel", is due out Sept 15. The singer described the song as an "uptempo fun summer record", pop diva said that even though she wanted to release a ballad, "Obsessed" had to come out 1st because she wanted "a fun summer moment to kick off the album."
Mariah has played a lot of parts in her music videos, usually opting for a vixen of some sort. But the video for "Obsessed" directed by Brett Ratner, she took on a whole new role as a male stalker. The pop star relished the idea of going incognito and spending some time as a regular person on the streets of New York. Mariah alters her appearance to play her stalker by wearing a fake goatee along with male clothing. The video was inspired by scenes from the 2004 film, "Mean Girls". The video was debuted July 15 on "America's Got Talent" show. Mariah will also perform the song on the August 5, episode of "America's Got Talent" and will make a performance at the 26th annual MTV Video Music Awards, will be held on September 9, according to Rap-Up.

Kelly Clarkson | "My Life Would Suck Without You"(Video)

Kelly Clarkson (born April 24, 1982 in Texas) won the highly-publicized 1st season of American Idol in 2002. "My Life Would Suck Without You" is the 1st single from her 4th studio album, "All I Ever Wanted". It is a moderately fast pop rock/electropop song. Kelly's vocal range spans from A3 to E5. She claimed #1 on March 1, 2009 when "My Life Would Suck Without You" debuted #1 on downloads alone. Clarkson has sold over 10.1 million albums in the US, becoming the highest-selling Idol winner.

The music video for the song was directed by Wayne Isham and was shot in LA in December 2008. A story about Kelly and her boyfriend. Kelly's all time best? I'll say: "A Moment Like This", "Breakaway", "Since U Been Gone", "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and "Because of You". Also check Kelly's MySpace for more info.

Colbie Caillat | "Realize" (Video)

Colbie Caillat was born May 28, 1985 in California. "Realize" is the 2nd single from her debut album, "Coco" and was officially released today. The song is an acoustic folk-pop song, where Colbie sings of having feelings for a best friend. Allmusic said "she sings about simple, everyday things in an unassuming manner, letting her melodies and girl-next-door charm carry the day".

The video was filmed in Canada. Colbie and her best friend both left a note for each other, and the two discover that neither is home, and slip their notes under each others doors. Instead of leaving, the friend decides to sit and wait at Colbie's door, and Colbie is shown arriving as the two exchange smiles.

I'm pretty like Colbie's singing style, and have a lot of favorite singles: Battle, Bubbly, Capri, Feelings Show, Kiss The Girl, Magic, Mistletoe, Older, Onde Fire Wire, Oxygen, Tailor Made and The Little Things.

Elliott Yamin | "Wait for You" (Album)

Elliott Yamin was born on July 20, 1978 in Los Angeles, and placing 3rd runner-up on the 5th season of American Idol. Elliott suffered from a lack of overt star quality on the show, but his hit single, "Wait for You" boasts amplitude of a radio ready headliner.
"Wait for You" was the first official single released from his self-titled debut album "Elliott Yamin" on March 13. The song is a slow tempo ballad composed in C major. It has the biggest potential to be the album's most massive hit, great radio-friendly melody, the lyrics are so relatable. Elliott mentions in the song waiting indefinitely for the one he loves to come back to him. Despite the fact she has left him, he insists he knows she still loves him. It was aired on radio for the 1st time on March 1, and released to iTunes on March 13, and was honored as one of the most performed songs in the ASCAP repertory during 2007. Elliott is proof that you don't need to be an actual AI "winner" to be.

The music video for the song director by Nick Spanos, was premiered today. It shows Elliott in a variety of locations reminiscing about his girlfriend who has left him. The video shows Elliott on the beach, in his bedroom, and simply walking on a sidewalk picturing his ex-girlfriend's smiling face, and pleading for her to come back, just like in the lyrics of the song. The video features a recurring close up face shot of Elliott, in a black and white tone. Elliott is also shown in the studio recording the song throughout the video. In the end, his ex-girlfriend finally approaches him on the beach.
