music bits and pieces...

I'm doing this not just to inform you guys but to keep me off track for the past few weeks of pressure and negative comments...[damn...i ABSOLUTELY HATE it...]

Anyway, here's just some random news...

**Danny Gokey**

Finally, one of the the top4 Idols this American Idol Season 8, Danny Gokey, signed a record deal with 19records/RCA Nashville. His first album will be recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and the single will be released late this fall. The album will be released in March, 2010.

CONGRATS, Danny!!! I've been waiting for this news to finally come into reality for a while...^_^

**Black Eyed Peas**

Over the weekend, it's all in the news that the Malaysian government has banned Muslims to go to the Black Eyed Peas concert set this Sept. 25 in KL. This is because the event will be sponsored by the Irish beer giant, Guinness, whereas alcohol consumption is prohibited in Malaysia. Non-Muslims can go according to the government's spokesperson.

No updates yet as to there were sudden changes regarding this order.

Well, when religion starts to set in, no Black Eyed Peas can even protest to that...It's all about respect...It's not something racial cause it was their government who set that rule...But, sometimes, don't we just wish that race, religion and cultures wouldn't be an issue in appreciating music and watching music artists...

**Backstreet Boys**

The boyband that made girls scream in the 90's -- the Backstreet Boys -- is set to release a new album on October 6 entitled, "This is Us". Minus Kevin in the group, their latest single is entitled "Straight from the Heart" and they are also planning tours again to promote the album.

They've visited the Philippines a couple of times already and being a teen in the 90's, BSB has been one of my absolute faves...I just hope this will add up to the mark they have already established in the music industry...

**David Archuleta**

Days ago, there was a post about what his line up for the Christmas album would be...Well, it has already been said to be just a rumor...Actually, he's been tweeting lately that he's doing recordings still to finish up the album...So peeps, just wait for it...David loves giving surprises really...haha...One thing certain that isn't a surprise, his Christmas album entitled "Christmas from the Heart" will be released on October 13 and can be pre-ordered in Amazon.com...

Whew...said much already...catch up a few here soon^_^
