Michael Jackson
It’s confirmed that Michael Jackson will be releasing a new album with unreleased recordings of songs, but with the King of Pop gone, will you be buying it?
Will.i.am doesn’t think so, and believes that the album being released without Michael Jackson to add his magic will not be the same. “I don’t think that should ever come out. That’s bad. He was a perfectionist and he wouldn’t have wanted it that way. How you gonna release Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson ain’t here to bless it?” said Will.i.am, who has done many collaborations with MJ himself. More importantly the re-release of the Thriller album back in 2008, where he and other members of the Black Eyed Peas group remixed some of Michael Jackson’s popular songs.
Do you agree with Will.i.am? While working with Michael, he realized how particular Jackson was with his music, and paid attention to all aspects such as vocals and instrumentation.
“Now that he is not part of the process, what are they doing? Why would you put a record out like that? Because he was a friend of mine, I just think that’s disrespectful. What’s wrong with what he already contributed to the world?” Continue reading…

The rumors are true, a music video for “Love The Way You Lie” by Eminem that features Rihanna is in the making. Director Joseph Kahn announced on Twitter, “Got off a call. Emergency music video.

The Last Airbender
So yes, this article is way overdue and I meant to post it sometime last week but I got hung up on other things. Let’s get into this though, I saw The Last Airbender and I’ve had a lot of mixed opinions about it when I came out of the theater. Even during the movie I had a hard time believing what I was seeing. It was a good movie don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t understand how they could take the great and popular TV show and turn it into something so much worse.
If you didn’t figure out by now, the movie was based on a cartoon show called Avatar: The Last Airbender and had a lot of comedy, the characters were fun, and had a greatly addicting storyline. Continue reading…

Hurricane Map
The first hurricane of the 2010 season made land fall in a small town in Mexico. The category two hurricane caused land slides and flooding in Mexico, while in Texas there was flooding and isolated tornadoes.
I am in San Antonio and we got the outer bands of the rain, with some strong gust of winds at times. The storm was not what the citizens pre-paired for in south Texas. South Padre, a island just of the main land of Brownsville, thought the north end of the storm was going to cause more damage. The storm cause minimal damage in the area, with flooding, a few downed trees, and a few road closers.
This is the start of a hurricane season that is predicted to be more active, than past years. This storm was also caused damage as far away as Alabama, with the BP oil spill. The storm caused large waves to move the oil closer to the coast of many more states. Continue reading…

Rihanna Magazine Cover
Rihanna’s latest album, Rated R hasn’t exactly been filled with butterflies and rainbows. At least not the colorful ones, and it’s great to see that she’s getting in touch with nature on the cover of teen fashion magazine, Seventeen.
The trend in Rihanna’s music videos has so far been military like in Hard and Russian Roulette, or sleezy like in Rude Boy or Te Amo. The album is supposed to tell of her life and how it is literally Rated R.
This 22 year-old girl had a lot to share:
Emotional Growth: “There’s a balance in my life that wasn’t there before. It’s a really different peace, a different energy.” Continue reading…

The New Digg
Digg has been working hard for a while now to redesign everything there is about the site. The concept is still the same; submit stories and be able to digg or bury them. There are however a few changes such as the features, customizations, design, and interface.
The one thing I am most excited about is the simplicity of the new Digg, and the new features. The design and interface have been simplified to help you figure out how things work and to customize your experience. Oh and since we’re talking about customizations, I’m glad to say that Digg finally let’s you follow profiles and get news from only the sources that you want.
You can watch my new Digg walk-through on YouTube or the embed below. If you want to get an invite, head over to new.digg.com. Continue reading…

Sunday was a very special day, as it was the night of the 2010 BET Awards. There was much going on, and the host of the awards show, Queen Latifah made it very interesting with her various acts and clothes.

The lineup included those from Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Diddy – Dirty Money, Drake, Trey Songz, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, Marvin Sapp, T.I., Kanye West, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Eminem, T-Pain, Kim Burrell, Yolands Adams, Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, and Karen Clark Sheard.

HootSuite 5
HootSuite is a social media dashboard that lets you easily manage your various social networks in one place. Twitter, Facebook, and Ping.fm are only to name a few and you can even have others collaborate with you and post to your accounts without giving away the password.
Version 5 was released just today though and is something to be really excited about. HootSuite has been a major help for Unveiled Entertainment as it helps manage our various social networks and stay updated on the latest news.
The reason HootSuite5 is such a game changer now though is because of its new features, mostly focusing around HTML5 that only the major browsers support excluding Internet Explorer. There is a new and improved user interface that really makes HootSuite a very sexy platform to use, and the new interface also saves a lot of space allowing more room for your social streams. Not only that, but you can change the themes to suite your mood. Continue reading…

Rdio Music Service
Rdio is a new music service for listening, downloading, and syncing your collection of music. It is so new that it’s not even out yet, so using my beta account I decided to give you a walk-through of the service. You can find the video below or on our YouTube channel.
You should also be happy to know that you will be able to test this service out yourself and start using it free for 3 days. You can of course get a subscription that prices at around $10 a month for all platforms (web, desktop, mobile & ability to sync) but you can also get the $5 monthly plan if you only plan to use the web version.
To get a beta invite from us instead of waiting for them to email you, simply post in the comments area below and say that you want a beta account. Include your email address and we will choose 10 random people. To add a little fun to the mix, include “Rdio Me!” in your comment.
Overall my first impressions of the service are very good. Rather than just creating what everyone expect from a music listening/download service, they added in a lot of social features such as reviews, seeing what your friends are listening to, sharing songs, and so on. Continue reading…
