This is true soul music coming through.  The late Etta James & Christina Aguilera Something’s Got a Hold On Me.

Some of you may recall Christina sang this song in her first movie debut, Burlesque.

Thank Rocky!

Amy Winehouse looks happy and healthy in the video premiere for her duet with Tony Bennett.  Today would have been the Rehab singer’s 28th birthday.  She will be forever missed.

And the best battleround duet from last night’s Voice goes to… Vicci Martinez vs. Niki Dawson singing Pink’s “Perfect.”  Blake Shelton summed it up appropriately by telling Cee-Lo Green that he made one of the biggest mistakes by teaming these two up — they are probably two of the best singers on the show.  Do you think Cee-Lo made the right decision in choosing Vicci?

Hot Weekend Jam! Taio Cruz & Ke$ha




Taio Cruz’s Rokstarr is one of Wonky Pop’s best albums of 2010 and this song is definitely a great addition to the airwaves.  Taio includes Ke$ha on his new single, Dirty Picture. The dance-driven hit is featured on his second studio album, which was released in the US in June. Taio admitted that he wrote the song with Lady Gaga in mind, but producer Dr. Luke encouraged him to collaborate with Ke$ha. “She hadn’t done TiK ToK or anything like that at that point,” Cruz states. “But I just thought she sounded really cool. A very unique-sounding voice.” 

For the UK release of Ke$ha’s Animal, an alternate version of the song, entitled Dirty Picture Pt. 2 is included, where Ke$ha replaces Cruz on the first verse (see below). The official remix features Fabolous and will be on the American version Rokstarr as a bonus track. A clean version of the song also exists where references to Send a dirty picture is replaced with Won’t you take a picture and Ke$ha’s line Take a dirty picture is replaced with Take a, take a p-picture. It was physically released on May 3, 2010 in the UK. The song will be released to U.S. mainstream radio next Tuesday. DigitalSpy gave the song 3 out of 5 stars, saying that Ke$ha had “enough gusto for the pair of them.”
