If you have been waisting your time watching any other singing competition on TV, NOW is the time to STOP! Last night on American Idol, it was a COMPLETE KNOCK OUT & DRAG OUT with the 4 Idol competitors Phillip Phillips, Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez, and Hollie Cavanagh.

First of all let me say, this season of American Idol has by far been the best season for a top 4 competition in a very long time. Minus Hollie, the three competitors Phillip, Josh, and Jessica are absolutely MIND BLOWING!

It was a two hour show and for the first hour of the show, the theme was songs from a Californian artist, then a duet, and then the last hour the theme was a song that the Idol contestant wish they could have written. I’m only posting the last half of the show because that’s where the competition got REALLY HEATED and made me an American Idol stan!

Check out the performances and my thoughts after the jump.

Ok so first let me just say this. Out of the 4 competitors, Hollie, unfortunately, was wiped off the face of the planet by the other 3 contestants. She chose “I Cant Make You Love Me” (Bonnie Raitt) and it was complete dud. No “big moments” in the song at all and just an “ok” vocal. Wrong song to choose!

So first up, here is Phillip Phillips. Throughout the AI competition, Phillip has been in his own world for the style and genre. In addition to a singer, he’s a musician that plays the guitar. And he is a heart throb for living girls all across the country! Out of the 4 contestants left, I feel like Phillip has a market that would sell him and the record label the most albums.

Here’s Phillip performing “Volcano” (Damien Rice). I felt like I was in an intimate lounge setting and the chemistry between Phillip and the sister in the background was AMAZING!!!!

Next up is Josh Ledet. To sum it up, we call Josh the male version of Fantasia. When Josh opens his mouth, something takes over his body and there hasn’t been a performance the past 3 weeks that hasn’t given us goose bumps. Josh sang James Brown’s “This is a Man’s World” and I know James Brown was moonwalking all up in heaven watching Josh rip this song up! If this was the finale, Josh would be the winner! Vocally, there is not another male R&B artist out that can compete with this man!

Last but not least, we have 16 year old Jessica Sanchez. 16 YEARS OLD!!! The girl has a voice of a seasoned 30y/o singer and she proved it last night by singing Jennifer Holiday’s “I am Telling You”. The girl sang so hard last night without moving that emotionally after her performance, tears rolled down her face. It was THE most intensive performance that I have ever seen in a competition.

If you’re looking for something fun and entertaining to do in the ATL this weekend with your crew, we reccommend you head on over to Landmark Midtown movie theatre website right now and purchase your tickets for the extraordinary feature comedy film THE SKINNY, directed by Patrik-Ian Polk.

From the director of cult film favorites PUNKS and NOAH’S ARC, comes the much-anticipated third feature from Patrik-Ian Polk, a sharply scripted comedy about a group of four young, black, gay men (Magnus, Sebastian, Kyle & Joey) and their lesbian best friend (Langston). They arrange to meet up in New York City one year after their graduation from Brown University. Their plans for a weekend of fun start off well, relaxed in each other’s company, as only old friends can be. But old tensions quickly resurface. Drink, drugs, hidden desire and the demands of promiscuity put friendship, trust and even lives at risk. In between sharp one-liners and a great soundtrack there’s a few important lessons that these pleasure-seekers must learn for themselves. Written with a real sense of the demands of urban living, these bright and believable characters will remind you of someone you know.

At the 7:45 and 9:40 show you can meet the cast and director of the movie. And if you can’t make those shows or tickets sell out before you can purchase yours, WHICH THEY WILL, THE SKINNY is here in Atlanta for an entire week until April 13th. Purchase your movie tickets HERE.

After the preview on Saturday night, head on over to Club XS to party with the cast and Director for the official Premier After Party!

Fresh off of an amazing Grammy performance and his first Grammy win, Chris Brown is showing the world that 2012 is his!

Here is Chris’s brand new video to his already hit new single “Turn Up The Music” from his forthcoming album FORTUNE. Directed by Chris himself and Godfrey Tabrez, the scene takes Chris to a secret warehouse full of all kinds of beastly characters. I have to say this is probably one of my favorite videos in a while from CBreezy. Chris is dancing his ass off and giving us Michael Jackson tease more than ever in the scene where he dances in the rain! When I listen to this song and watch the video, it puts a stamp on the statement “Chris Brown is POP”!

Sidenote: Chris Brown looks amazing with his new weight he’s gained. Thighs, booty, and all!!!

Check out the video after the jump!

It’s that time of the year again where we call it here in Atlanta, the unofficial Atlanta Black Pride weekend aka MLK weekend. Atlanta promoters have a festive weekend planned for locals and out of towners visiting and we have a full rundown on everything so you don’t have to look all over the NET to find out where and what. Over 20+ events are happening between this Wednesday, January 11th and Monday, January 16th.

One thing that we have noticed and you might notice as well is that there are no scheduled artists to perform this year. There are a few celebrities hosting parties though. Not to fear, it’s a benefit to most attendees as many of the clubs and events are offering free admission and drinks til midnight and it gives people the opportunity to actually party and not have to stand around and wait hours for an artist to perform a 15 minute set.

Be safe, have fun, and we will see you around this weekend! Get into the full MLK event line-up after the jump.

If you’ve ever been on twitter and follow the “Thug Misses” rapper, Khia, better known as @QueenKhia on the popular social media site, then you should know that there is absolutely never a dull moment when the rap queen is tweeting. Last month, Khia took the YouTube video network by STORM when she released a 50 minute “4th of July Fireworks Video Blog” READING and spilling T on celebrities like Amber Rose, Lil Kim, Trina, and more from left to right, A-Z, LITERALY! (Watch Here)

It was reported on Monday over at StraightFromTheA, that Queen Khia according to Dekalb County jail records was arrested on early Saturday morning and charged with concealing/endangering property-secured interest (i.e. a car, etc). She was bailed out the very next day by none other than….. (wait for it)….  the infamousLEAVE BRITNEY ALONE YouTube star Chris Crocker on a $500 bail!

Khia tweeted Chris today who by the way has 4583920284 more followers than she does on twitter thanking him for bailing her out of jail. Khia is currently working on her new album “Motor Mouf” and seems to be working up a buzz with all of her controversy from YouTube to her arrest. Whats your thoughts on the THUG MISSES. Will her recent rants and raves drive sales for her upcoming album or is it just some good ass buffoonery to see and watch online?

Check out her hilarious tweets below.

Last year over 2,000 men from around the world packed the popular Atlanta Peach Ballroom on Friday night of Atlanta Black Gay Pride where National gay promoter, Wassup N ATL, presented their biggest celebrity star studded weekend ever with performances by Fantasia, Dondria, Lil Kim, and more. The weekend also brought former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland by who came and took pictures, signed autographs, and partied with the kids .

This year WassupNATL continues with their now legendary MAN-U-AL LABOR Atlanta Pride weekend festivities kicking it off Friday night at the Freight Depot with the “Wobble” man himself V.I.C. where an estimated 2000+ men are expected to come and party til the wee hours in the morning. Saturday, WassupNATL will be heading back to very familiar headquarters, VITA Buckhead nightclub. Earlier this year Vita shutdown permanently after the owner sold the venue. Since then, the venue has been bought by a very popular Atlanta radio disc jockey and has been totally renovated and plushed all the way out with a state of the art lighting and sound system and brand new VIP areas.

 (last year at Atlanta Peach Ballroom w/ Fantasia Barrino)

Sunday, Wassup N ATL is turning it all the way out at Park Tavern located next to Piedmont Park with a very special and first time ever Pride performance by Grammy Award winning and Queen of Hip-Hop & R&B MARY J BLIGE which could draw in over 4000+ attendees!
