[Title] => Soulful but casual Paolo Nutini
[Summary] =>
It is difficult to predict stardom for any newcomer to the music scene. Talent and hard work count but the Fates has its personal preferences. Admittedly a lot of great albums land on the wayside with the music they contain doomed never to be heard again. The truth of this must be the reason why I still get a kick when I come across newcomers who evoke that adrenalin surge. They are so rare. And believe me, when you have been checking out the music business as long as I have, you develop this gut feel that tells you you are listening to a star. One of them is Paolo Nutini.

[Title] => Free speech is dead (but tsismis is still cheap and abundant)
[Summary] => 
Think government spying on the media is confined to places like the Philippines? Think again. Post 9/11, the United States has entered a troubling new era in which American cartoonists are questioned by the Secret Service; in which its country singers are muffled, gagged and hooted offstage for disagreeing with the President; in which actors and actresses are shunned (and fired) for their political views. A time when even that avatar of controversial video product – Madonna – backs down from the heat.

[Title] => The daring Dixie Chicks
[Summary] => 
As The Dixie Chicks, Emily Robison, Natalie Maines and Martie Seidel have never been anything but controversial. And never more so these days after people found them gracing the cover of Entertainment Weekly in the nude. In keeping with their image, the photo shows the trio not only without a stitch on but with contradictory slogans decorating their bodies. "Dixie sluts" says one. Traitors is on another.

[Title] => Mark Knopfler picks a dream
[Summary] => 
It was only after listening to the new Mark Knopfler album The Ragpicker’s Dream that I realized how much I miss the sound of Dire Straits. The group fronted by Mark and made up of his brother David plus John Illsley, Pick Withers and Alan Clark was one of the biggest acts of the New Wave blitz that swept the international music scene during the late ’70s and early ’80s. The blitz included Blondie, The Knack, The Police, Poco and others. Dire Straits was up there among the best.

[Title] => Josh on video
[Summary] => 
He is attractive enough in a shy sort of way but the kid is not a looker in the classic sense. Neither is his voice the best-sounding in the world. But his simple expressive singing gives me goosebumps and during times when a song emanates from his vocal chords, it seems like Josh Groban is the handsomest, sexiest guy in existence.

[Title] => Kelly Rowland out of Destiny’s Child
[Summary] => 
Being part of a hugely-successful group might be nice but there lurks in every artist’s heart the desire to do things on his own and to be recognized by his own name. This is the reason why very few music groups including brother acts have stayed together during the entire length of their careers. The Bee Gees remained together but it only took a few years at the top for Michael to decide to deprive the Jacksons of its star attraction.

J.Lo, Mariah, Ashanti, Missy, Avril, Shania and other pop divas of all shapes, ages and persuasions have been the dominant force in the hit charts these past months. So what’s to stop us from taking a look at how one of the original R&B divas is faring these days. And that is no other than the great-looking and of course great-sounding Toni Braxton.
