Chi-Town's Finest

Chicago is a great city, recognized for all the extrodinary music that has come out of it during the past few decades.

Some of the best Hip Hop artists of today hail from Chicago. There is Kanye, Common, Rhymefest and The Cool Kids, just to name a few. The Windy City has also provided some of the finest R&B crooners like R. Kelly, Avant and the great Lou Rawls.

Chicago-native Peter Cetera helped form a band in the late 60's who loved the city so much, they actually named themselves Chicago. Just a few years back, the name Chicago was given to both a play and a movie that showcased city life during the 1920's.
There are plenty of great artists from Chicago. Check our site for you favorites, whether it's Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, or Pop.

Mariah On Idol

Watching Mariah Carey on Idol last night, made me realize how many great hits she has. Her new single Touch My Body has just topped the charts, and she's beat Elvis Presley for most #1 songs.

Some of Mariah's biggest hits to-date are: Fly Like A Bird, Shake It Off, We Belong Together and Butterfly. She's also had mega-chart toppers like: One Sweet Day with Boyz II Men, and let's not forget the one that kicked it all off for her... Vision Of Love.

Did anyone catch David Cook with last night's show-stopper Always Be My Baby? It was an incredible (and surprising) performance!

Today Is "Leap Day" and...

It's Leap Year and today is the 29th Day of February! We only see this day once every four years. What most people don't realize, is that today is also Sadie Hawkins day. Derived from a comic strip, today is a day dedicated for a girl to ask a boy of her choice out. This day is very popular in many colleges throughout the U.S.

So, in the spirit of Sadie Hawkins Day, why not drop hints when your mobile rings today? Lots of choices to give clues...

Jonas Brothers "Just Friends" is a popular tone to sport.
If you need to be blunt with your guy,
(as many girls do), try CheapTrick's
"I Want You To Want Me". If you're trying
to keep it on the down-low, All-American Rejects'
"Dirty Little Secret"might work.
Maybe you're feeling the love Alicia Keys puts out there in "No One", or maybe
"You Don't Know My Name" is the more appropriate choice.

With all these tones you can use to your advantage, one tone could easily sum it all up:

Maybe Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" has you in Holiday mode. If so, that's awesome. After all, this is the greatest time of year. But if you're looking for some other tones to jam out to, there are some classic favorites that were just released as ringtones.

Marky Mark along with his "Funky Bunch" has finally gone mobile, giving us his infamous "Good Vibrations". No other tone can make you "feel it, feel it" better. LL Cool J stuns with his epic hard-hittin' "Mama Said Knock You Out". Sheryl Crow releases her "Favorite Mistake". Do you know anyone in your contact list you can set that ringtone for? And lastly, Asia's "Heat Of The Moment" scorches our 80's page.

Christian Music

Now is a great time for Christian Music. Today more than ever, artists from different musical backgrounds are showing their Faith.

Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child, steered away from the mainstream sound she was best known for, releasing a number of albums under her own name that were Gospel inspired. Mandisa, who came to fame as a finalist on American Idol, recently scored a hit with her first album, which was also Faith oriented.

It isn’t just Pop stars that are turning to their beliefs. There are an enormous number of Christian Rock bands out there. Groups like Falling Up, Relient K, Thousand Foot Krutch and Everyday Sunday are among today’s best, with fan bases reaching out all over the U.S.

Preachers are out there also, making music to reach the masses. The Pastor Rudy Experience blends their message with contemporary R&B sounds and a good dose of Church music. Rev. Ernest Davis Jr.'s Wilmington Chester Mass Choir provides more of a straight-up Gospel sound.

No matter what your musical taste, there are plenty of artists out there to inspire you and keep your Faith alive.

Pop Divas

Since the birth of popular music, female artists have maintained a constant prescence in the music world. Throughout the decades, there are those special few that come along to help change the face of music, inspiring future generations.

Aretha Franklin emerged as what many people consider to be the 'First Diva’. She was a pioneer who defined soul music. Also, leading the way were Motown artists like Diana Ross and The Supremes. Dionne Warwick also enjoyed a good amount of success.

In the 70's, a young Ann Wilson with her band Heart emerged onto the rock scene. Ann’s voice was so strong that she was often compared to Led Zeppelin front man, Robert Plant. She paved the way for the many female rock bands that would soon follow.

Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson dominated the 80's with numerous Top 40 radio hits. In this decade, many Divas from the past, re-vived their careers in the form of duets. Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross, Aretha and Cher all scored duets with the top males artists of the time. Tina Turner also returned to sell millions of copies of her solo album "Private Dancer" .

The early 90's brought two of the hottest Pop/R&B Divas of all-time, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey. With mentors Andre Harrell and Sean “Puffy” Combs helping to mold her sound, Mary was off to a stellar start. She released five smash hits in the first two years of her career and was deemed the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul". Mariah Carey achieved the most number one hits for any female artist. She has had success as a singer, an actress and remains one of the top voices in music.

Today, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Fergie all dominate the radio airwaves, video markets and the fashion industry. With the advent of Ringtones and digital sales now coming into play, the new media has catapulted their status to new measures and has helped to broaden their fan base.

Be sure to do a search on our site for your favorite females Divas, to find ringtones, videos, wallpapers and more!
