Kanye West on Fire


The Kanye West buzz is still burning up the internet. Since his shocking disruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday's awards show, West has made several apologies to Ms. Swift, apparently not satiating the public’s interest in the story. Kanye first apologized via his Twitter account, followed by a televised apology on the new Jay Leno Show, plus a personal phone call made to Taylor Swift. You know you’re hot when the President weighs-in on the controversy!

For those of you catching-up on the brouhaha, Kanye West stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. The reason for the disruption? Kanye wanted to proclaim his preference for Beyonce’s video, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Always the lady, Swift politely stepped aside while Kanye West was heckled by the crowd. In a display of her trademark class, Beyonce took the opportunity, when she won Video Of The Year for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” to invite Taylor Swift on-stage to finish her speech.

After days of apologies, and Presidential off-the-cuff remarks, interest has piqued in the news of an upcoming Kanye West and Lady GaGa tour. Lady GaGa was responsible for some controversy of her own at Sunday’s wild show: during an elaborate dance sequence for the hit “Paparazzi,” Lady GaGa startled the crowd as her performance morphed into a horror movie-esque gore fest. The singer’s artistic production was interpreted by some as an homage to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller," and Madonna’s famous 1980’s MTV VMA performance of “Like A Virgin.”

Check out Thumbplay’s artist pages for Kanye West, Lady GaGa, Taylor Swift and Beyonce, and don’t miss other great MTV moments at our music video and MTV videos pages.

Remembering Dancer, Film Star Patrick Swayze

1980's heart throb Patrick Swayze has died after a public battle with pancreatic cancer. The star made an impression in several notable films, including Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Donnie Darko. The retro soundtracks, many of which sparked comeback hits for forgotten classics, were the trademark of many Swayze’s films.

Aguably Swayze's biggest cinematic hit, the drama Ghost featured a huge resurgence in popularity for the Righteous Brothers classic “Unchained Melody.” The popular film Dirty Dancing, in which Swayze famously showcased his dancing ability, also produced an enormous hit with the film's 60's-inspired soundtrack. Dirty Dancing included some of the greatest songs of the era, including “Do You Love Me” by The Contours and “Love Is Strange” by Mickey & Sylvia. Among the retro hits featured in Swayze's films are Donnie Darko's “Notorious” by Duran Duran, and “Mad World” and “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears; “Stay Gold” by Stevie Wonder from The Outsiders; Dion's "Runaround Sue" from Roadhouse; Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" from Waking Up In Reno; and "If 6 Was 9" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience from Point Break.

MTV Video Music Awards Full of Thrills



From Kanye West's disruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, to Lady GaGa's shocking, horror-themed performance, the MTV Video Music Awards fulfilled its promise to be the most buzz-worthy awards show of the year. The night’s excitement, MC'd by Wale, was topped off with tons of memorable live performances from Beyonce, Pink, Pitbull, Muse, 3OH!3, The All-American Rejects, and an encore by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

Never one to shy away from controversy, Kanye West stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to proclaim his preference for Beyonce’s video, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Swift, always the lady, politely stepped aside while Kanye West was heckled by the crowd. In a display of her trademark class, Beyonce took the opportunity, when she won Video Of The Year for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” to invite Taylor Swift on-stage to finish the speech Kanye cut short.

More excitement ensued when Lady GaGa appeared to be injured during her elaborate dance sequence for her hit “Paparazzi.” In fact, it was all part of the dramatic, gory performance which morphed into horror movie madness, interpreted by some as an homage to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" and Madonna’s famous 1980’s MTV VMA performance of “Like A Virgin.”

Earlier in the evening, Madonna gave a heartfelt tribute to Michael Jackson , preceded by a special appearance from Janet Jackson. Janet’s performance was part of a larger tribute that included dance re-enactments of Michael’s “Thriller,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Bad” videos.

Other memorable live performances included Muse, with their new single “Uprising,” The All-American Rejects with " Gives You Hell,” Pitbull with his hit "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),” Taylor Swift singing “You Belong With Me,” Pink performing her hit “Sober” from a trapeze, and finally, the much-anticipated “Empire State Of Mind” duet with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

American Idol Confirms Ellen Degeneres as New Judge

Renowned talk show host and comedian Ellen Degeneres surprised American Idol® fans today with the announcement she will be the fourth judge, replacing original panelist Paula Abdul. The high profile move came on the heels of last month’s surprise move by Abdul to depart the show after eight seasons.

American Idol® was a huge comeback for the songstress, making her a star of the small screen, and the adoration of a new generation. Paula was a darling of the late 80's and early 90's pop charts, with a string of #1 hits, including “Forever Your Girl,” “Straight Up” and “Cold Hearted.” Before launching her singing career, Abdul was a sought-after dance choreographer, known for her work with Kylie Minogue, Janet Jackson and the Jackson family, whom she credits with discovering her cheerleading at a Lakers basketball game. Her tender critiques of contestants became a distinctive element of American Idol®.

The immediate public reaction has been both hot and cold for Degeneres. Many bloggers have praised her as a compassionate, experienced live performer whose success lends her credibility. Others have criticized her as too soft and out of her element in the music world. Audiences can judge for themselves when the new season premieres next January.

Until then, check out Thumbplay’s former Idol® contestant pages for Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, David Cook and Jennifer Hudson.

The Beatles "Come Together" for Re-mastered Albums and Video Game


The Fab Four are grabbing headlines this week with the hotly anticipated re-release of their entire catalog, along with The Beatles™: Rock Band™ game. Tomorrow's music release, a complete set of re-mastered recordings, will not be available through internet MP3 retailers, which make The Beatles one of the last hold-outs currently unwilling to sell their music in digital form.

However, music fans have a reason to be hopeful: the solo recordings of John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr are all sold through digital music outlets. Internet stirrings also indicate that the legends may ultimately go digital with their own official music sales website.

Regardless of their digital fate, The Beatles continue to intrigue many generations of music fans.

Michael Jackson To Be Laid To Rest

After three months of memorials and celebrations of his life, Michael Jackson will finally be laid to rest today in Los Angeles. While the circumstances of Mr. Jackson's sudden death are still under investigation, the long journey for the pop star will culminate in a private family funeral at the famed Forest Lawn Cemetery.

From his early days as a child prodigy with the Jackson 5, to his chart dominating Thriller days, Jackson's hits are the trademark songs of several generations. The young Michael made an early impact on audiences with the breathtaking soulfulness in his cover of the great Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” and his soaring vocals in the Jackson 5 smash “I’ll Be There,” which was famously covered by Mariah Carey. After his success with the Jackson 5, Michael’s solo career was immediately a sensation with his chart-topping 1970’s classic “Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough.” No star shone brighter than Jackson’s in the 1980’s, shattering the charts with hit after hit, including “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” and “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing).” The hits kept rolling in the 1990’s, with classics like “Bad,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Black or White.”

In July, the King of Pop’s friends and family gathered to honor Michael Jackson's music and life at a star-studded memorial service. The service was highlighted by musical tributes by many of his peers, including Mariah Carey with “I’ll Be There,” Jennifer Hudson with “Will You Be There,” John Mayer with “Human Nature,” and Usher with “Gone Too Soon.” Other friends of Jackson who paid tribute include Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Queen Latifah, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder. The most moving moment of the memorial came when Jackson’s family entered the service to one of Michael’s most emotional songs, "Man In The Mirror."

By overwhelming demand, Thumbplay has recently added a huge number of MJ's biggest hits to our tone catalog, including “Butterflies,” “Another Part Of Me,”Leave Me Alone,” “Off The Wall,” You Are Not Alone” and “Rock With You.”

Celebrate the music of the King of Pop here at Thumbplay, including his rich collection of hits with the Jackson 5.
