René Angélil, Husband Of Celine Dion, Passes Away

A1_Celine_HR

I am truly saddened to hear of this news. This morning, in their Nevada home, Celine Dion‘s husband René Angélil dies at 73 after a very lengthy battle with throat cancer. Celine must be devastated by this…

I remember during her success with “My Heart Will Go On”, there was an interview where she expressed how much he meant to her. He had just been diagnosed and she explained how devastating it would be to lose him. The prognosis looked grim back then, so I am happy they got to spend another 20 years together.

He is the man behind the legend. In 1981, he took out another mortgage on his house to start her career. He funded her first French album La voix du bon Dieu, and is the reason for her success. They have three children together; René will be greatly missed.

Why Kelly Rowland Needs To Return To The Dancefloor

Forever and a day ago… Ms. Kelly Rowland went and released one of the most dance-worthy songs in ever. That song was “Commander” and it came after the great success she saw with David Guetta on the track “When Love Takes Over”. I mean who doesn’t remember how inescapable that song was back in 2009? I couldn’t get away from it, and I didn’t want to, that shit was fire. So why did she leave us on the dancefloor with nothing but our glow sticks and pockets full of dreams?

…But I Promise It Won’t Be Boring

Today we lost a legend, but what remains is a legacy. As celebrities react to David Bowie‘s untimely death at the hands of cancer, it is certainly clear that the world lost a great talent which cannot be replaced. He was an eclectic talent who inspired countless people to be themselves; a contribution like that is invaluable to the children who always felt out of place in our conformist-or-bust society. His passing comes way too soon, but as an artist passes, his work becomes consumed more than ever. Now, he has the opportunity to inspire a whole new generation as his work will most certainly see a surge in popularity again. See who had what to say after the jump…

For those of you who don’t know, which appears to be most of you (shame!!!), a maaayyyjor album was released back on September 25th, 2015. The album in question: dumblonde by dumblonde. “What is a dumblonde?”, some of you will probably ask. Well, you stupid bitches, it is a supremely underrated dance act formed by Shannon Bex and Aubrey O’Day (Aubrey, don’t get mad that Shannon’s name is first).

Iggy Azalea Comes Out of Hiding, Releases “AZillion”

In today’s fickle industry, artists release what they call “buzz singles”. What that means is that they either don’t have enough confidence in their release, or the single they thought they were confident in flopped. It’s a pretty good PR move, but I’m over here like “girl, I see you”. In a galaxy far far away, the shade reaches far and wide and no one is safe from the trolls. Iggy Azalea is the most recent artist to do just this, and….
