Speculation is mounting that Michael Jackson’s death was as a result of a prescription drug overdose administered by his doctor. He was receiving a daily dose of Demerol and received a shot minutes before suffering from cardiac arrest. Nothing is confirmed yet and at this stage all we can do is wait until the autopsy is concluded.

Michael Jackson has died.

He was pronounced dead this morning (UK time) of ‘cardiac arrest’. He was just 50 years old.

The music world is in shock at the moment but soon questions will be asked about how and why he died.
RIP MJ.

I wonder if the RIAA are jumping for joy about the latest PR disaster that will win the beleagured music industry no friends. Sure she did wrong but $1.92m ? How much would Youtube have to pay for all its “illegal” content ? Nothing ! No one would dare sue them as this will take forever and Youtube will simply turn off their music.

First there was Amy, then Adele, then Gabriella, then Duffy and now Pixie. How many more variants of Amy are the UK record industry going to produce.

Pixie Lott’s “Mama Do” is probably the worst of all the “Amy-lite” singles as she is much more of a blatant rip-off of Amy than all the others. From the instruments to the vocal phrasing. This is cashing in on Amy who is too drugged up to put out a decent record of her own for her adoring fans who seem to be lapping up this garbage. It’s the UK number one this week. Island Records need to get their act together.

We have been gripped by the current series of The Apprentice. It is something all musicians and artists should watch and you’ll learn a lot from the show.
