VH1 – 100 Greatest Artists of All Time

Luisa — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:41:36 +0000

Alicia Keys, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beatles and Michael Jackson are to be featured on a four-night special called “100 Greatest Artists of All Time,” VH1 said.

The list was determined by a poll of well-known music artists and industry experts. With Jim Shearer serving as host, the program is to have a two-hour premiere Sept. 6.

In 1998, VH1 launched the same list as the channel’s first countdown special; however; much has changed since the dawn of the new millennium. VH1 puts this debate up for a vote again to see which rock pioneers still matter and which new acts rate in the age of download-to-own music and ever-changing pop culture.
The countdown will include special, rarely-seen performance footage along with brand new, totally original interviews with music’s most famous faces.

Alicia Keys’ Dream Wedding

Inês — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:47:27 +0000

As the sun set over the clear-blue Mediterranean Sea on July 31st, singer Alicia Keys and her fiancé, music producer Swizz Beatz, exchanged vows in front of family and close friends, including Queen Latifah, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Louboutin and Bono.

The private event was held at a seafront estate on the southern coast of the French island of Corsica, where the mind-body sage Deepak Chopra, the couple’s pal, officiated the intimate service. Swizz’s eldest son, 9-year-old Prince Nasir Dean — served as best man to his dad.

“The whole ceremony was magical, like something out of a dream,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style.

The beaming bride wore a custom-made, Grecian inspired one-shouldered silk Vera Wang gown with crystal detailing, a dazzling diamond necklace headband, custom made by Jacob the Jeweler, and jewel-encrusted Christian Louboutin sandals accented her feet. Swizz, whose given name is Kasseem Dean, sported a white Tom Ford tuxedo with a black bow tie.

The pair, who are expecting a child in early November, were overcome with joy. “I love everything about her,” Swizz tells Life & Style about his new wife.

“A pregnant Alicia Keys retreated to the Hamptons to support her fiancé Swizz Beatz, who was honored at the 11th Annual Art for Life benefit at Russell Simmons’ East Hampton estate on Saturday (July 24).

Swizz, who has two sons, Kasseem Jr., 3, and Prince Nasir, 9, from previous relationships, told PEOPLE his future bride is ready for motherhood. “Alicia is definitely one of those great parents-to-be,” he said, while adding, “I’m definitely one of those great parents as well.”

The couple does not want to know the sex of their baby in advance. “We don’t know,” shared the producer. “We’re just going to let that be magical. Whatever we’re blessed with, boy, girl, twins, that baby is being born to blessed parents.”

What I Learned from Alicia, says Melanie Fiona

Luisa — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:46:22 +0000

After being on tour with Alicia Keys, I have grown. I feel the experience helped me learn so much, especially about being on the road. I’ve admired Alicia’s career and music for so long and it was great to see how she does what she does. It was a really great lesson and a great example for me because I got to see how professional and classy and positive the tour was.

It helped me set a standard for the way things can be done and how to effect people positively with music all over the world. It was great just being in her presence. Everybody was so great around us, it was a real family environment and I was just really fortunate for the opportunity. I feel very honored to have opened for her and have supported her on the world tour.

The tour was also a great experience because of all the places I got to travel. I’ve been to Europe several times because I’ve had a lot of successful on my own out there but I went to several places that I had never been before like Barcelona, Spain, Portugal and Ireland as well as really cool smaller cities in France that I had never seen but have now become some of my favorite places. The experience just to travel and to meet new people is a priceless opportunity.

For me, this year I’m in between albums. I’m still going to be promoting The Bridge and I want to get out and do a personal tour across the states. I want to keep the music alive. I’m also working on my new album, and that’s really my focus is to make sure that I put a lot of good time, energy and experiences into this album to solidify who I am as an artist and let people know a little bit more about who I am as a person.

My music is about celebrating life. It’s about me not being afraid to say the things we all feel and say the things that we all go through, such as being vulnerable. I just always want people to feel that they have a refuge in my music and feel good when they listen to it.
