A LITTLE LATE: LEA MICHELE'S VIDEO FOR ON MY WAY

Looking as beautiful as ever, Lea Michele released the video for her second single from her debut album Louder on May 19th and I totally missed it!!! Here is the sassy video for the upbeat track On My Way. This is a great song with a great beat and emotional lyrics and Lea is has a rockin' ass, y'all!!! I'm sad that the album isn't getting more play, but that's okay. I will listen to it enough for all of you sorry mo'fo's. JK!!! But seriously, go buy her album or you are a complete dildo. Watch the sexy video below.

LEA MICHELE DEBUTS AT #4 WITH LOUDER

Lea Michele did pretty well (I'm a poet and I know it). Louder, the debut album from the Glee starlet, debuts at #4 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The set sold 62,171 copies in its first week, coming in behind the soundtrack for Frozen (#3), Pharrell's G I R L (#2) and Rick Ross' Mastermind (#1). All but Frozen are debuting this week on the album chart. Nice, Lea!! Congrats. First single, Cannonball, only hit #75 on the Hot 100, but could get a boost from the album's release. There are many other songs on the record that are single-worthy, so keep putting them out, Columbia Records!!! Some critics are saying that Lea doesn't exactly sell the songs or that they are overblown and too loud. It's called belting you shit heads!! I know it's been a long time since an actual SINGER put out a pop album, but in all those places certain other "singers" grunt, Lea sings notes. You'll get used to it. Don't worry. You can get Louder now on iTunes. Below is an audio track of my favorite song from Louder, You're Mine. The chorus melts me every fucking time!! Enjoy, bitches.

REVIEW: LEA MICHELE - LOUDER

Now that she has the next couple of years of her life planned, let's focus on Lea's new album she released yesterday, Louder. One of the only REAL vocal albums to be released recently, Louder presents Ms. Lea is fine form, belting out tune after tune and delivering a compelling set of pop songs that are radio ready. Mostly full of power ballads with a couple of piano ballads and some beats thrown in, Louder delivers on Lea's promising pop-chops she shows covering other artists on Glee. First single Cannonball, co-written by hit-maker Sia Furler, is a powerful statement of coming through tragedy that was recorded after the death of Lea's boyfriend Cory Montieth. There are many heart-pounding songs on the album, like the churning On My Way and the title track. Celine-worthy ballads abound in the form of the gorgeous You're Mine and album highlights, the gutsy Burn With You and the exquisite What Is Love?. These songs take off with vocals that will put to shame all other so-called pop divas recording today. Lea also co-wrote the amazing If You Say So with Sia Furler and it's dedicated to Corey. It will rip your heart out. Overall, I would say that Lea Michele has some vocal performance Grammys in her future, if there is justice in this pop world. Quite a stellar debut for a performer with the potential to become a huge star. You can pick up Louder on iTunes now. Below are two videos with Lea Michele listening to snippets of and talking about each song on the album and the story behind them. Enjoy and get Louder today!!!

LEA MICHELE CONFIRMS FUNNY GIRL REVIVAL

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! I mean, c'mon. We all saw this coming right? Her character, Rachel Barry on GLEE, is currently mounting a production of Funny Girl on the show, so if anyone had any brains they'd get a Lea production working on Broadway. Who is that person with the brain? DUH! According to Lea they are in the planning stages following GLEE's creator Ryan Murphy buying the rights. Of course he is doing it. Lea as Fanny is a no-brainer anyway. She can sing like there's no tomorrow, she's funny, she's Jewish, she's charismatic. She's an American beauty rose with an American beauty nose. You see where I'm going with this. The girl's got moxy, just like Babs did DOES. Don't kill me, Barbra!! Of course, right now Lea is finishing up the current season of GLEE and promoting her new album Louder (review to come), which is available on iTunes and currently playing on repeat in my ear holes. It's good, y'all. Get it HERE, watch GLEE Tuesdays on Fox and read the Broadway World interview with Lea here. LEA!!!

HOW IS LEA MICHELE'S ALBUM SHAPING UP? WATCH AND LISTEN.

Lea Michele's album, Louder, is not due for release until February 28th, but thanks to her record company, Lea's fans (of which I count myself among) have been able to preview five tracks already!! They keep popping up in my iTunes like little gifts. Let me tell you, ladies, there  is no lack of belting going on in these puppies!! Lea is singing it straight from the kitty for you. Of the tracks released so far, the majority are ballads or power ballads with the exception of Louder, which takes on a more upbeat stance. I'm very excited for Lea's album and I think she could be the next power ballad go-to songstress. Check out You're Mine, What is Love?, Louder, Battlefield and the video for Cannonball below. You can pre-order Louder now on iTunes.

NEW MUSIC: LEA MICHELE - CANNONBALL

After 1,000 seasons on GLEE (it's been that long, right?) Lea Michele is finally releasing her debut solo album........in March. But to keep us from jumping off buildings in desperation, Lea has graced us with her first official single, Cannonball. Lea's Cannonball is a power ballad and she sings it right from the kitty, y'all. The girl is serving voice. Sounds like a Celine song a bit, which is perfect since we don't have a Celine-esque singer on the scene right now. Not even Celine. Listen to the full track below and go over to iTunes and pre-order Louder right now. DO IT! Or don't. I don't technically own you. Loving the cover for the album. Hello, gorgeous!
