Beyonce is controlled - she probably can't eat without Jay-Z's permission.
I've mostly given up on today's music. If there is an act I like fair play, but the rest - same old, same old. The sheep who buy the likes of that wank at #1 and "Get Lucky" are just being brainwashed by it. I'm all for new talent getting a chance e.g Jon Newman, Gabrielle Aplin, Bastille as they're all about the music and I can see the likes of Ms Aplin becoming true to herself even if the sales dried up.
It's all about egos and money. I'm now a Saturday's hater because they're too interested being all American and aiming for their crap market.”

Beyonce is in with Obama. She can basically do whatever she likes including holidaying in Cuba which is illegal for US Citizens, but as you suggest, Jay-Z is the man behind it.
I judge people person by person. Aplin made a funny comment when somebody else done a version of 'Power Of Love' saying she was pleased someone covered her song.....erm.....her song?
They probably all won't be all about the music if money turned up.....so many sell themselves - you'll see in time. Plan B, Dizzee Rascal - both sold themselves for fame and fortune. Nelly Furtado another.
I don't hate The Saturdays, but I do think as they try and become more cool, they are becoming more up themselves. Mollie seems nice, Vanessa I am unsure on....the other 3.....well.

I doubt it will ever go back to what it was. It's more about celebrity than music now, sadly.




.... mind you better not give MTV ideas that'll be the next thing”
