hey hey! there's nobody out there that can compare to country legend dolly parton - she's seriously the best! now she's got a new DVD/CD out released this past week called dolly parton: live from london which would make the perfect gift this holiday season for any fan of ms. parton - just watch dolly's performance below of her crossover 1977 hit song here you come again - one of my favorite dolly tunes! whenever i feel down or depressed - an easy quick fix is to toss on ms. parton - her voice and warmth always makes everything feel a little bit better! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
hey y'all! i've got the brand new rihanna video for the single russian roulette - when i first heard the song i wasn't all that crazy about it but the track has totally grown on me (and they used it during this week's episode of gossip girl!) besides the video - her soon to be released album rated R leaked today! i wasn't sure if i was going to like it as much as her previous effort (and hit machine) good girl gone bad but i think her new material is amazing - it's a completely solid album (a bit more rock than pop plus a bit on the darker side yet that was to be expected) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

hey! i made it to jamaica safe & sound - yet i'm totally drained - i barely slept on the plane so soon i will have been awake for over like 36 hours! (since thursday morning until friday night) but somehow i'm on a bit of an energy kick - i already ran into my friends and in a little bit is the rehearsal dinner - then i think it's time to hit the pool and use the swim up bar! (then i'll pass out and sleep like a log) i wish i had more time to spend on the blog but i'm already wearing myself thin however i do have the brand new queen latifah video for her hot single fast car featuring missy elliott (the song was featured here a few weeks ago) i love the track - definitely check out her new album persona - it's great to hear the queen going back to her roots! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo

hey! everyone knows i'm a huge fan of adam lambert but i'm not feeling his new song time for miracles which was recorded for the upcoming disaster flick 2012 - apparently the song was written by a woman dying of cancer - the lyrics are touching but i just find it to be a bit boring although he does sing the crap out of it! (it's a decent song for a soundtrack i suppose?) thankfully this isn't his official 1st single - that should be coming soon - his debut album for your entertainment releases next month on november 23rd! catch the video below and as a bonus i've included the new cover of details featuring mr. lambert - looking delicious - he gets all hot & heavy with ... a girl ... on the inside pages! (too bad it wasn't his sexy boyfriend drake labry!) popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
hey y'all! i had to share my new pop obsession with everyone ... it's the debut single from cheryl cole called fight for this love - to be totally honest i kept hearing about ms. cole but i never really took the time to investigate who she was until now - she's a member of UK girl group girls aloud - the ladies are currently on hiatus to work on solo projects (supposedly they will reunite in 2010) next week is the overseas release of ms. cole's solo album 3 words which just leaked to the web and i totally LOVE it - i've played it a bunch of times - solid pop music at its best! watch the super hot video below - you'll soon be addicted like me! (and my pal sheena beaston) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

good morning! here's the latest music video from black eyed peas for their third single meet me halfway off the band's latest album the E.N.D. (the energy never dies) this just happens to be my favorite track! i'm thrilled it's starting to make the rounds on the radio because i'm totally over the last single i gotta feeling which i liked at first but after hearing it about 5000x in just about every place imaginable i quickly grew sick of the track! watch the video below as fergie (looking amazing) is stranded while the other peas look for her from distant planets! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

good evening! i did a post about jordin sparks earlier today - and it got me thinking about what cutie blake lewis is up to ... as you may recall blake came in 2nd place after ms. sparks was crowned the winner of the 6th season of american idol! although his debut album audio day dream wasn't a huge commercial success - i really liked it - i even gave it an honorable mention in my top favorite albums of 2007! mr. lewis is about to drop his sophomore effort (october 6th on tommy boy) called heartbreak on vinyl - below is the video for the 1st single sad song - i'm not freaking out over the song but it's decent - i can't wait to hear more new material! he's actually doing an intimate gig on october 8th to celebrate the new album - over at the roxy (my top LA haunt) i am so going to be there to cheer him on - he's super adorable and quite talented! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! i've always been a huge fan of the cranberries (since their first album appeared on the scene in 1993) and lead singer dolores o'riordan is back with her second solo album called no baggage (i loved her first one too are you listening? released back in '07) the really good news is she's reuniting with her band mates and they're going to tour starting in november (they last toured seven years ago) playing a mix of cranberries' songs along with some of dolores' solo material! i'm beyond thrilled she'll be touring again ... i saw her back in july of 2007 and unfortunately her drummer had a seizure on stage (at house of blues on the sunset strip) and the rest of the tour was canceled - a total bummer (especially for the drummer!) hopefully there will be no major issues this time around! below you'll find the music video for her new single the journey - i could listen to her sing all the time - girlfriend has an incredibly haunting voice and great overall style! on a personal note ... i've come down with a nasty cold - i've loaded up on medication / vitamin C and i'm going to take it fairly easy tonight - i hope i'll feel better tomorrow - fingers crossed! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
