Amy finally sent to "REHAB"

We all have our addictions. Who can get through the day without the crafty fag, the four o'clock chocolate, or the wee dram after dinner? But not all of us have to wear our addictions publicly, the way that Amy Winehouse and other performers have to. The tragic lass was, however, braver than most in confronting her weaknesses head-on in her art, most notably in her signature song "Rehab", the anthem which went on to win the Grammy for Song of the Year.



"Rehab" was not the first song to confront addiction, but it was certainly unusual in refusing to regard addiction in a completely negative light. Drugs have long provided popular music with one of its more ambivalent subjects, with the image of the jolly "reeferman" a recurring figure in jazz lore, and Ella Fitzgerald's jocular "Wacky Dust" testifying to the properties of cocaine. But alongside this amused indulgence has always lurked an acknowledgement of the darker, less glamorous side of drug abuse, often dangerously intertwined with half-baked notions of creation. Even as Charlie Parker sank deeper and deeper into heroin addiction, countless lesser talents eagerly started on their own drug habits, deluded into believing that opiates might be the key to the seemingly superhuman realms of aesthetic wizardry inhabited by Parker.



Winehouse was clearly no stranger to the tendrils of addiction, using the term as a romantic metaphor for obsession in "Addiction" itself, while some of the most striking songs on her Back to Black album, such as the title track and "You Know I'm No Good", are infused with the underlying sense of wretchedness and self-loathing which often accompanies the condition. Indeed, it could be said that it was in part this desperate self-knowledge that gave her performances such emotional authenticity. But it's for the directness and assertiveness of "Rehab" that Winehouse is liable to be most remembered: just as "Imagine" shot to No 1 the week following John Lennon's murder, so "Rehab" has topped the chart again.

All About JAY Z

Jay-Z Biography

Jay-Z was born Shawn Corey Carter, on December 4, 1969, and was raised in the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, New York. During his school days, he befriended a young Christopher Wallace, who grew up to be known as the Notorious B.I.G.

As a hustler in his rough neighborhood, Jay-Z used his money to finance a career in music and released independent records in the late '80s. His parents were avid record collectors and Jay-Z would sit down at the dining room table as a child writing rhymes while his mother cleaned the house with the music blaring. The more time he spent on the block though, the less time he had for transcribing lyrics. As a result, Jay-Z developed a genius skill that few others could emulate, even now.

 

Why is He famous

Jay-Z has been the most consistent rap artist of the past five years, with platinum release after platinum release. The addictive hooks to his hit songs are some of the most memorable in hip-hop history.

Jay-Z Quote

" Nas is definitely going to bring out the best of me. He's gonna put me at the top of my game. I hope I do the same for him. It's like playing basketball with a guy. It's just verbal sparring -- no one's fighting, it's just records."

Magnetism

If you thought the track "Big Pimpin'" was a fantasy, think again. When you bling bling like the Jiggaman, you can have your pick of the finest honeys out there. "Money Ain't A Thang" and "Money, Cash, Hoes" are two songs that provide you with a glimpse into the life of Shawn Carter. With a net worth into the tens of millions and a gangsta-lean groove that would make Curtis Mayfield proud, Jay-Z is beyond the chase. When you can lace a woman in ice and Prada without even blinking, all you need to do is sit back and choose.

In 2008, rumors flew that he and longtime girlfriend, Beyonce, had tied the knot. The couple has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. Either way, Beyonce is one nice piece of arm candy.

Success

Jay-Z is this close to being a household name, an amazing accomplishment considering his humble roots in the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn. He can now hold court with Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson in the same week, so formidable is his clout.

However, Jigga has not coasted to the revered position he now holds. He may just be the most industrious rapper of all-time. Since his debut hit the shelves in 1996, Jay-Z has put out seven albums, including an MTV Unplugged release and his recent collaboration with R. Kelly, The Best Of Both Worlds.

He is at the helm of his own successful record label and clothing empire, Roc-A-Fella, along with partner Damon Dash, proving that his genius is as compatible in the world of business as it is in front of a mic. As the title of his hit duet with Mary J. Blige states, "Can't Knock The Hustle."

 

Jay-Z releases vol. 2 hard knock and the blueprint

The true sign that a rap artist has arrived is how ubiquitous he becomes, as others clamor for a rhyme or guest appearance. With two albums under his belt, Jay-Z had become the undisputed leader of the rap pack but he still kept setting the bar high. His soundtrack to the self-directed, produced and written short Streets Is Watching featured the smash "It's Alright."

Mainstream success and more street cred came with the album Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life. It remained atop the Billboard charts for five weeks and cemented the reputation of Jay-Z as a major talent and producer of urban anthems. Each subsequent album has raised the status of the rap and fashion mogul at the head of the Roc-A-Fella empire, with The Blueprint in 2001making the biggest splash with critics and fans to date.

Jay-Z retires?

In 2002, Jay-Z released another debut album, The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse, which sold four million copies, and in '03 Collision Course, a collaborative project involving Linkin Park, came out.

In November of that year, Jay-Z held a concert at Madison Square Garden that he called his "retirement party," and performers included Missy Elliott, Memphis Bleek, Blige, Beyoncé, Twista, Ghostface Killah, Foxy Brown, Pharrell Williams, and R. Kelly.

Jay-Z comes back with kingdom come

In 2006, after a greatest hits album and several concert appearances, Jay-Z returned to music full-time with the comeback album Kingdom Come, which included producers Just Blaze, Pharrell, Kanye West, Dr. Dre and Coldplay's Chris Martin. Jay'Z's 10th album, American Gangster, followed in 2007.

In February '08, Jay-Z made the news when he became the first hip-hop headliner at the Glastonbury Festival. Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame was apparently one of the more outspoken critics of the decision so, in typical "Jay-Z" style, he opened the festival by doing a rendition of Oasis' "Wonderwall."

In April 2008, reports came out that Jay-Z had wed his long-time girlfriend, beauty Beyonce. As of October, they still hadn't denied or confirmed the reports. Then, in August, AM nominated him for their annual Top 49 Men of 2008.

All about EMINEM

Eminem Biography

The man otherwise known as Eminem was christened Marshall Bruce Mathers III, and was born October 17, 1972, in Kansas City, Missouri.

Eminem was raised by his mother, and traveling from one trailer park to another was the only tune Eminem was singing. His single mother would move her son from Kansas City to Warren, Michigan, only to finally settle down in the East Side of Detroit when Eminem was 12.
Eminem's Early Years

Due to a childhood tainted by constant moving around and a broken family, Eminem was, surprisingly, a quiet child, and delved mostly into comics and TV. While a student at Lincoln Junior High School and Osbourne High School, Eminem became interested in '80s rap acts such as 2 Live Crew, L.L. Cool J and NWA, and he began to open up more in the form of rapping and rhyming.

As a white rapper singing predominantly "black" music, Eminem got into many fights while in school. Despite his rhyming talents, Eminem didn't spend much of his time actually studying, and after mastering the art of skipping school, the teenage delinquent dropped out altogether.

He spent his time working several minimum-wage jobs, while concentrating on rapping. After contributing his rapping skills to groups such as Basement Productions and Sole Intent, and establishing a reputation for himself as the only white rapper taking to the Detroit "talent night" microphones, the master rhymer released a solo independent album, Infinite, in 1996.


Why is He famous

He has had five extremely successful albums with huge hit songs like "My Name Is," "The Real Slim Shady," "The Way I Am," "Stan," "Without Me," and "Lose Yourself" (from the box-office hit in which he also starred, 8 Mile). Eminem's violent and derogatory lyrics have made him a star among teenagers and a frequent target of activist groups. He's been off the radar for the last few years, thanks to his battle with a sleeping pill addiction, but released Relapse in 2008. In 2010 he won his 11th Grammy for his album Recovery. Given the ridiculous sales of his past albums, we can only imagine that his next recovery will be from his well-earned fame.

Eminem Quote

" I get offended when people say, 'So, being a white rapper... and growing up white... after being born white...' It's all I ever hear!"

Eminem Stars In 8 Mile

In 2002, Eminem made his acting debut in the movie 8 Mile, which was based loosely on his life. Not only did the film garner a lot of much-deserved praise, the soundtrack for the film was as successful as the movie. The track "Lose Yourself," which was featured prominently in the trailers and movie, won a truckload of awards, including two Grammys (for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song) and the Oscar for Best Music, Original Song.

The Eminem Show was also released in 2002, and spawned hits like "Without Me" and "Cleaning Out My Closet." It earned Eminem two more Grammys, this time for Best Short Form Music Video for "Without Me" and Best Rap Album.

Eminem spent the next couple of years exchanging words with Triumph the Insult Dog at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards and appearing at 2003's VMAs, and collaborating with D12 on their song "My Band."  

Magnetism

Though it makes him sick to his stomach to admit it, Eminem is well aware that a lot of the same teenyboppers that liked 'N Sync and Britney Spears also own his albums (i.e. he has throngs of teenage girls dreaming of him). Though his lyrics and style might turn off some classier women, he still has his pick among the many, many women who adore him. 

Success

Yes, Eminem was robbed at the 2001 Grammys. He should have won Album of the Year (but understand that the Grammy voters are also technicians and producers who appreciate the meticulous and quality studio work of Steely Dan). Still, since then he's earned an Oscar for his work in 8 Mile plus an MTV Movie Award for the same flick.

But Eminem's biggest revenge on any jazzy-rock band (i.e. new enemy Steely Dan) is a look at the Billboard charts. His album, The Marshall Mathers LP, became the fastest-selling rap album in history.

In addition, 2002's The Eminem Show and its hit single, "Without Me," garnered Eminem two much-deserved Grammys: one for Best Short Form Music Video for "Without Me" and the other for Best Rap Album. In November of 2002, Eminem proved he could also act, with the lead role in the semi-autobiographical film, 8 Mile.

In 2004, Eminem made headlines yet again, this time for the controversial video for "Just Lose It," the first single off his fourth album, Encore. He came out with Relapse in 2009 after some time away from the spotlight, and won his 11th Grammy in 2011 for his newest album, Recovery.
 
Eminem Releases Recovery

Instead of the expected release of Relapse 2, Eminem came out with his seventh studio album Recovery on June 18, 2010, for which he won a Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2011. He also won Best Rap Solo Performance for "Not Afraid," and performed with Rihanna at the 2011 Grammy Awards. They sang their hit single "Love the Way you Lie (Part 2)." He now has a total of 11 Grammys.

The album became Eminem's sixth consecutive number-one album in the U.S. and achieved international commercial success, charting at number one in several other countries. Recovery was also reported by Billboard to be the best-selling album of 2010, making Eminem the first artist in Nielsen SoundScan history to have two year-end best-selling albums.

Biography of Jessie J

About Jessie J

Based on the amount of success and the speed at which it happened, it’s easy to assume that Jessie J has lived a charmed life. In reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Born Jessica Ellen Cornish, she began performing at a very young age while attending Colin’s Performing Arts School. At 11, she was cast in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End production of Whistle Down The Wind. But it was also the same year that she was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat, a diagnosis that was made after she collapsed while racing her father to the car. Though her health problems became a constant source of discomfort in her life (she would suffer a minor stroke at 18), Jessie J refused to give up on her dream, and at 16, began studying at the BRIT School. The following year, she joined the girl group Soul Deep before eventually signing to Gut Records, for whom she would eventually record an album. Unfortunately, the label went bankrupt before releasing the material, and Jessie J was forced to take a different road to the top.

Jessie J Writes Her Way To The Top

Jessie J is that rare breed of pop star who pens her own songs, something she’s been doing since she was 17. But it’s the songs she wrote for others that first caught the attention of the music industry. Armed with a Sony ATV publishing deal, it wasn’t long before Jessie J was writing for some of the world’s biggest pop stars, including Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, and Miley Cyrus, for whom she wrote the juggernaut hit “Party In The U.S.A”.
 
Jessie J Takes Center Stage

Jessie J’s first solo album, Who You Are, was a six-year-in-the-making labor of love, whose scheduled 2011 release had the soulful British songstress on everyone’s “People To Watch” list this year. Jessie J had already built considerable buzz with her songwriting skills and her supporting stints on Chris Brown’s and Cyndi Lauper’s respective tours. Throw in some help from pop music’s newest King Midas, Dr. Luke, and Jessie J was primed for a breakout year. And breakout she did. Since releasing Who You Are in February, Jessie J has become the UK’s most ubiquitous pop star since Lily Allen on the back of her hit singles, the grimy anthem “Do it Like a Dude” and the syrupy “Price Tag,” which soared to No. 1 on the UK charts. She also won the prestigious Critic’s Choice Award and the BBC Sound Award at The 2011 BRIT Awards.

Success

Whenever a pop star bursts onto the scene the way Jessie J has, many are prone to making snap judgements about the legitimacy of said pop star's artistry. But despite what some may think, Jessie J is not a manufactured commodity who just happens to look good on camera. The singer spent years earning her stripes by writing songs for some of the world’s biggest artists, including Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, and Miley Cyrus, for whom she wrote the multi-platinum hit “Party In The U.S.A.” But Jessie J’s tenure behind the scenes has come to an end, and the spotlight now belongs to her. Her debut album Who You Are is in a dogfight with Adele’s 21 in the UK charts, thanks to her two smash singles “Do It Like a Dude” and “Price Tag.” After embarking on a promotional tour of the U.S. for her debut album Who You Are, which was recently released in the States on April 12th, she's appeared as a musical guest on a Zach Galifianakis-hosted Saturday Night Live episode in March, performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and performed on Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Next up for Jessie J? Anything she sets her mind to. In fact, Jessie's debut album Who You Are has already entered the top five in the U.S. iTunes chart. Quite an achievement for a former behind-the-scenes gal.

Sex Appeal
Jessie J may be the new kid on the block, but she’s already challenging more established pop stars like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga for fashion-icon status, thanks to her throwback '60s bob and urban-goth aesthetic. But with her newfound fame comes the inevitable interest in her personal life, something that Jessie J has had trouble accepting. To make matters worse, her love life is particularly tabloid-worthy, thanks to her open bisexuality. Jessie J has made a habit of speaking candidly about her extracurricular activities, saying, “I’ve never hidden the fact that I have dated guys and girls. In interviews, I was ready to talk about it, but the questions were so dumb, like, 'Have you ever kissed a girl and liked it?' I'd be like, 'What kind of question is that?'" It's a perfectly valid one, as far as we’re concerned.

Jessie J Quote

" I’m not going to live my life worrying about what gets put in the papers. I'm probably going to sleep with people that I shouldn't, and I'm going to date people who others disapprove of. But that is how you live life. If people want to kiss and tell about it, then go ahead. I don't like drama, but I have to accept that sort of thing is going to happen."

Why is She famous?

Already a major star in her native UK, Jessie J has set her sights on conquering the U.S. market with her slick and spunky brand of pop music. The 23-year-old “Price Tag” singer, who cut her teeth writing hits for the likes Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and Alicia Keys, is poised to become her country’s biggest female pop export since The Spice Girls. The only difference is that instead of five girls who can’t sing, Jessie J is one girl who can.
