NEW MUSIC & VIDEO: WONDER GIRLS FT. AKON - LIKE MONEY

South Korean girl group Wonder Girls have teamed up with Akon and they are NOT kidding around with this video and song for Like Money. Already a MAJOR force in Asian pop music markets, the Wonder Girls have also had a hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 with their single Nobody in 2009 when they opened for the Jonas Brothers on tour. No wonder Akon wants to get in on the ground floor with these ladies. Watch and love the pop perfection of Wonder Girls.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA GOES ON THE DEFENSIVE AGAINST LADY GAGA COMPARISON

Christina Aguilera is trying her best to distance herself from any Lady Gaga comparisons. Akon, who signed Lady Gaga to his Konlive label, said recently in a statement that Xtina was "trying to do the exact same thing musically" as Gaga. Aguilera is like NO! She instists she is an original saying, "It just comes with the territory. That, in particular, is not even worth wasting the breath to comment on. I've been around for over a decade and I think my work speaks for myself." Some may recall back towards the end of 2008 just before Gaga started to hit that Christina was accused of copying her style. When asked about Gaga, Xtina said she was "completely unaware of [Gaga]" and "didn't know if it [was] a man or a woman." Well, I bet she knows now. You should be very careful about the things you say about people. You may be the one chasing them sooner or later. I wouldn't blame anyone for trying to jump on the Gaga wagon. She has blown up the music biz. Good luck, Christina. [source][image]

AKON SPILLS SOME DETAILS ON LADY GAGA'S UPCOMING ALBUM

Akon, who was smart enough to sign Lady Gaga to his Kon Live Distribution label, has spilled some great details on Gaga's work she is currently doing for a follow up to her amazy The Fame/Fame Monster. Akon says,"She records while she’s on the road. I’m flying out to Europe to work on some new records with her. Gaga’s just like me. She has a tour bus with a studio in it. Some of the songs I’ve heard are going to be crazy. She’s getting bigger and better." He also talks about how easy it is to be the head of the label Gaga is signed to when it comes to her writing and producing her album. "All I'm doing at the end of the day is listening to the tracks Gaga has written and approving them for her album. She has producers that she works with outside of myself and they are coming up with some incredible records, but the beauty of it is she knows exactly what she wants. So it just makes it easier for me." It sounds like Lady Gaga lives and breathes music and wants everything to be wonderful for her fans. I am seeing Gaga in July and can't wait to see the extravaganza! Hurry up with that album, Gaga! [source] [image]
