Amy Winehouse could hardly be heard when performed You’re Wonder Now at the V Festival in Hylands Park in the U.K. as a sing-along guest of The Specials.

The parts I could hear of Amy sounded like her voice is almost gone. Drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol aren’t good for vocal cords.

We are wondering if Amy will ever release another album. Having a great voice is a gift that can be easily lost.

Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West recorded, and made music video, for Run This Town.

Is this a black power video?

Murdered model Jasmine Fiore was attempting to become a singer, and had recorded a song called Delirious in 2005. At that time Jasmine was calling herself Jazk. The song itself is forgettable. A description of the song is below:

Genre: Dance (Electronica/Trance)
Hometown: San Francisco, California

Inspired by and deriving their name from the modernist visions in Ray Bradbury’s 60’s literature ’Machineries Of Joy" and the neo-classic "Fahrenheit 451", M.O.J were implanted and fused in Northern California in February 2005. California super-model/sassy singer "Jaz" (aka. Jasmine Fiore, and British musician-producer & electronix über-wizard mBlaze (aka. Mike Barnes) blend ethereal female vocals with melodic trance and progressive grooves aimed at both the charts & club remixes. Sonically architected to be intelligent dance music for uplifting your body but inspiring your mind, heart and soul! From the sensational forthcoming U4IA album … **Touch-Tone-Erogenous-Zone**. Composed, Engineered, Mixed & Produced by mBlaze.

Japanese singer Koisuru Hitomi wa Utsukushi released her album Superfly earlier this year. The single Superfly went all the way to number 6 on the Japenese music charts, and it rocks. See more here.

The video below is like a 1970s disco flashback.

Will.i.am would love to say "I told you so" to all the people who have bashed the Black Eyed Peas in the past, but he won’t, even though the group just made history on the Billboard charts.

"There’s a part of me that wants to be cocky, but then I can’t be cocky," the 34-year-old Peas leader said in a phone interview from Los Angeles on Tuesday. "There’s a part of me that wants to call out all of my other peers and competitors. I don’t want to say no names because I’m not like that, but part of me wants to do that. And would it be wrong if I did that? Yes it would. I’m not like that."

This week the foursome, who have had their share of critics, will have topped Billboard’s Hot 100 singles charts for 20 consecutive weeks, the most ever by an act. Boom Boom Pow and the song that dislodged it, "I Gotta Feeling," have been at the top of the charts for 12 and eight weeks, respectively.

Though the band has had big hits over the years, Boom Boom Pow was their first No. 1 single. Will.i.am says he’s surprised how successful the song became.

"I knew that `Boom Boom Pow’ would be big in the clubs, but I didn’t know it would be that potent with the world, outside of the club. So that my accountant’s aunt would be like: Black Eyed Peas, I love `Boom Boom Pow!’" he laughed. "I didn’t know it was going to be that. I didn’t know that teachers would say I like `Boom Boom Pow.’"

The Black Eyed Peas’ biggest critic just got a second black eye when the group broke the record despite the critic bashing them. Go make another tear filled video hater.

Congrats to Will.i.am, and the Black Eyed Peas, you’ve earned your success.
