Michael Forever: Muzičke zvezde odale počast Kralju popa / Music stars perform trubute to King of pop

U glavnom gradu Velsa, Kardifu, sinoć je održan veliki "Michael Forever" koncert pred oko 50 000 fanova. Veliki broj zvezda izveo je najveće hitove Kralja popa, a koncertu su prisustvovala i njegova deca, Blanket, Prince i Paris, kao i njegova majka Katherine.

Na koncertu su nastupili: njegova braća, Marlon, Tito i Jackie, Christina Aguilera, Ne-Yo, Gladys Knight, Cee Lo Green, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Yolanda Adams, 3T, Jamie Foxx, La Toya Jackson, Pixie Lott, a putem video uključenja i Beyoncé.

The Black Eyed Peas su u poslednjim trenutku otkazali nastup bez objašnjenja (spekuliše se da su se raspali), a otkazan je i nastup grupe Kiss jer fanovi nisu želeli da vide Gena Simmonsa na sceni koji je otvoreno kritikovao Jacksona.

Ipak, deo porodice je smatrao da je koncert zakazan u pogrešno vreme jer je u toku suđenje doktoru Conradu Murrayu koji je optižen za ubistvo Kralja popa.
Ne-Yo, koji je otvorio koncert velikim Jacksonovim hitom "Billie Jean", na ove optužbe je odgovorio rečima:

"Ne radi se o kontroverzi, ni o suđenju, niti o smrti. Ovde smo da slavimo njegov život i njegovu muziku".

In a capitol of Wales, Cardiff, last night was held a spectacular "Michael Forever" in front of 50 000 fans. Many music stars performed the biggest hist of the King of pop. His children, Blanket, Prince i Paris, and his mother Katherine also attended this event.

Last night performers were: his brothers, Marlon, Tito and Jackie, Christina Aguilera, Ne-Yo, Gladys Knight, Cee Lo Green, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Yolanda Adams, 3T, Jamie Foxx, La Toya Jackson, Pixie Lott, a through a live stream Beyoncé as well.

The Black Eyed Peas cancelled a performance in the last minute without an explanation (it's been speculated that they've split) and also a performance by the Kiss was cancelled because fans didn't want to see Gene Simmons on stage who openly critcized Jackson.

Still, a part of the family considered that it was a wrong time to hold the show at the same time as the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray.
Ne-Yo, who kicked off the show with a big Jackson's hit, "Billie Jean", responded to this:

"It's not about the controversy. It's not about the trial. It's not about his death. It's about celebrating his life. It's about celebrating his music."

Razočaravajući nastup Amy Winehouse u Beogradu... / A disappointing performance by Amy Winehouse in Belgrade

Ono što su svi mesecima naslućivali se ostvarilo. Sinoćnji koncert Amy Winehouse u Beogradu bio je potpuni fijasko. Već posle prve pesme bilo je jasno da je pevačica pijana ili drogirana i da nije u stanju da nastupa. Scenario je bio uobičajan - teturala se po bini, falširala, zaboravljala reči pesama, a u jednom trenutku je i bacila mikrofon. Kao i obično, najviše su pevali publika i prateći vokali. Publika je najstrašnije izviždala Amy, a neki su je gađali i čašama. Izgleda da za ovu pevačicu zaista nema spasa. Da podsetimo, pre samo nekoliko dana (ponovo) je izašla sa klinike za rehabilitaciju, a njen menadžment je tvrdio kako ona neće piti tokom evropske turneje. Nije pomoglo ni to što je nastupala prva, verovatno da ne stigne da se napije, ali to je nije sprečilo.

Nakon nje je nastupio fantastični Moby koji je još jednom pokazao zašto je jedan od najboljih izvođača današnjice, te je odličnom svirkom ublažio razočaranje fanova.

***

What we all have feared from for months, turned out into reality. The last night concert of Amy Winehouse in Belgrade was a complete disaster. After the first song it was clear that the singer is too drunk or drugged to perform. It was one of her regular performances - she could barely stand, she was out of tune all the time forgetting lyrics and she even threw a microphone at one point. Like usual, the audience and back vocalists were singing the most. Amy was booed by the crowed and some people even threw glasses at her. It seems that nothing can help her. She checked out of the rehab clinic few days before the concert when her management promissed that she won't drink during her European tour. The fact that she performed first, probably because of a less possibility to get drunk, didn't stop her.

After her Moby performed and proved why he is one of the best live acts today. With an amazing gig he mitigate the disappointment of fans.

BREAKING NEWS: Amy Winehouse ponovo na rehabilitaciji / Amy Winehouse back in rehab

Iako za manje od mesec dana treba da nastupi na Kalemegdanu, pevačica Amy Winehouse je ponovo na rehabilitaciji, potvrdila je njena portparolka. Ipak, održavanje koncerta se (za sada) ne dovodi u pitanje. 

"Ona želi da bude spremna za nastupe u Evropi, pa je odlučila da zatraži pomoć", kaže se u izjavi.

Navodno, njen otac je taj ko je naterao da ponovo ode u kliniku zbog toga što misli da ponovo mnogo pije.

Njeni menadžeri tvrde da će pevačica na vreme izaći sa klinike kako bi započela evropsku turneju u Beogradu, 18. juna.

Šta mislte, hoće li koncert Amy Winehouse biti otkazan?

***

Although her European tour is supposed to start in less than a month, Amy Winehouse has checked into rehab again, her rep confirmes. Still, there's no change of plans about the concert (for now).

"She wants to be ready for performances in Europe this summer and decided to seek an assessment", it's said in a statement.

Supposedly, her father convinced her to check into a clinic because he thinks she drinks too much again. 
Her managers claim that she'll be out of rehab on for her European tour which is planned to start in Belgrade on June 18.
What do you think? Will Amy perform this summer?

Shakira opljačkana tokom koncerta u Meksiku / Shakira robbed during a concert in Mexico

Pitate se zašto velike zvezde angažuju veliko obezbeđenje oko bine tokom koncerata? Shakira sada sigurno zna odgovor, jer je pokradena usred koncerta! Tokom nastupa u Meksiku, Shakira se levom rukom pozdravljala sa fanovima, dok je u desnoj držala mikrofon. Kada je dobila svoju ruku nazad, shvatila je da na njoj fali prsten. No, s obzirom na to da je ona profesionalac, koncert je nastavila normalno. Snimak krađe postavljen je na sajt YouTube.

Vidite da ima razloga za obezbeđenje, iako ponekad nikakva korist od njega :)

***

Do you wonder why superstars hire big security around the stage during concerts? Shakira must know the answer now, because she was robbed mid-concert! During performance in Mexico, Shakira were shaking hands with her fans using her left hand while clutching a microphone in her right hand. When she finally got her arm back, sho noticed the ring is missing. As a true professional she continued her show normally. The video of the theft has been posted to YouTube.

You see, there is a reason for the big security, although sometimes it's completely useless :)

Moby podrška Amy Winehouse u Beogradu / Moby to support Amy Winehouse in Belgrade

Američki muzičar Moby biće podrška Amy Winehouse na koncertu koji je zakazan za 18. jun na Kalemegdanu u Beogradu, piše Blic. Moby je već oduševio publiku Exita 2009. godine, a sada će imati priliku da se pokaže i pred publikom u prestonici. Do tada će biti objavljen i njegov novi album Destroyed o kome sam već pisao, pa će publika pored starih hitova imati priliku da čuje i nove pesme. 

Očekuje se da će i Amy Winehouse pevati neke od novih pesama, tako da je pred nama jedno više nego zanimljivo veče.

Cene karata biće objavljene uskoro.

Amy Winehouse 18. juna na Kalemgdenu / Amy Winehouse on June 18th at Kalemegdan

Britanska pevačica Amy Winehouse održaće svoj prvi koncert u Beogradu 18. juna na Kalemegdanu, piše Blic. Amy će nastupiti u okviru povratničke turneje, dok se njen novi album očekuje krajem godine. Međutim, 

Amy na koncertu neće izvoditi nove pesme, već stare hitove i nekoliko obrada.

Očekuje se da krate za ovaj koncert uskoro budu puštene u prodaju.

Ova pevačica postala je planetarno poznata 2006. godine zahvaljujući hitu Rehab i albumu Back to Black koji je do danas prodat u preko 11 miliona primeraka i koji joj je doneo mnogobrojna priznanja, uključujući pet Grammyja.

Osim po muzici, ona je poznata i po velikom broju skandala zbog problema sa drogom. Ovaj problem pokušala je da reši nekoliko puta odlaskom na rehabilitaciju, ali bez uspeha. Ostaje da vidimo u kakvom će stanju nastpupiti u Beogradu.

This singer became famous world wide in 2006 thanks to her hit Rehab and an album Back to Black which was sold in more than 11 million copies to date and which brought her many awards including five Grammys. 

Apart from music, she's known for many sandals caused by her drug problems. She's tried to solve this problem few times going to a rehab, but without success. Let's wait and see in what condition she will be during her first concert in Belgrade.
