Oprah Tweets Aussie Love
Oprah Winfrey took to Twitter to spread her new found love of Australia, during a Q&A session with her five million followers.
The talk show queen described Uluru as “moving [and] magical” despite the high temperatures.
"ULURU...AWESOME is an understatement. Would have been HUGE mistake to miss it," Oprah tweeted.
"The sunset at Uluru was breathtaking," she said in another tweet.
During the session Oprah declared Australia “as beautiful as it looks” and said the Aussie people were among her favourite things about the country.
"The most memorable was the ppl. Love those Aussies!"
In response to questions about organising the trip Oprah praised the heavens and her hard working staff for the safe return of over 300 people.
“No matter how hard this looked. It was a 1000 times harder. MY team fully earned the title BEST TEAM IN TELEVISION. YEAA HARPO TEAM MATES!”
“GOD was all over this trip. 302 People traveled safely from U.S.A? Around the world and back home. A true GOD thing!”

Taronga Welcomes Tiny, Orange Leaf-Eating Monkey Infant
Taronga is the only zoo in Australasia to care for this highly endangered south-east Asian monkey, but is working with other zoos globally to help ensure a future for this species.Taronga Zoo has welcomed the birth of an endangered, bright orange Francois Leaf- monkey, the first to be raised by its mother in Australia.
The male infant was born to mother, ‘Saigon’, and father, ‘Hanoi’, and discovered cradled in its mother’s arms in the early morning of 31 January by zoo keepers who had been monitoring the pregnancy.
Taronga Zoo Primate Keeper, Roxanne Pellatt, said: “Obviously we were all very relieved when we discovered Keo-co cradled in Saigon’s arms. He had been licked clean, was warm, alert and the two adult females began sharing the role of caring for him. This is exactly what we hoped to see as this birth is particularly significant.”
“The youngster is the first Francois Leaf-eating Monkey to be raised by its mother along with another adult female ‘Meili’ in our harem group. Unlike us humans who pretty much have the solo task of raising our babies, these monkeys share mothering duties with other females in their group.”
“Consequently, we have named the infant ‘Keo-co’ (pronounced key-co) which is a traditional game of tug-of-war played in the villages of Vietnam. We noticed in the early days of his life ‘Saigon’ and ‘Meili’ were quite competitive as to who spent the most amount of time caring for the newborn,” said Roxanne.
Meili arrived from Beijing last year to help create the natural harem social structure of this monkey species. It wasn’t long afterwards that Saigon fell pregnant to the resident male, ‘Hanoi’.
Importantly, Meili has had offspring before and has proven to be a very good mother, whereas Saigon has had a few false starts to motherhood. ”We really wanted Saigon to raise the infant herself and were hoping Meili would teach Saigon a thing or two about motherhood.”
Roxanne said: “One of Saigon’s infants failed to thrive and her first offspring ‘Elke’, a female, had to be hand-reared by keepers when Saigon seemed confused by the bright orange arrival which is a common response for a first-time mother. Elke now lives with another male Leaf-monkey, ‘Bobo’ and is about to celebrate her second birthday.”
Keo-co has begun to explore the outside exhibit sticking close to the adult females, but is also very curious, confident and playful.
Now that the monkeys are spending longer outside in their tropically-themed exhibit, visitors to Taronga’s Rainforest Trail will be amongst the first in Australia to see an adult Francois Leaf-monkey leaping through the forest with a vibrantly coloured infant.
The birth could not have come at a better time with researchers recently discovering that despite once being widespread throughout Vietnam and China, there could be as few as 1000 Leaf-eating Monkeys left in the wild due to habitat loss and poaching.
Taronga is the only zoo in Australasia to care for this highly endangered south-east Asian monkey, but is working with other zoos globally to help ensure a future for this species.

Glee - Loser Like Me
Glee c'est un carton d'audience incroyable en à peine deux saisons au Etats-Unis mais c'est aussi, dès qu'un des titres que la troupe que constitue ses comédiens interprète est déposé sur iTunes, des chiffres de ventes à en affoler les plus grandes stars planétaires.
Les raisons de ce succès : un ton décalé, des personnages bien ficelés et des titres pop parfaitement maîtrisés. Pour la première fois, la troupe vient d'ailleurs de proposer non pas une reprise, mais un titre original : Loser Like Me. Une merveille de plus, qui vient de faire son entrée 6ème du classement US.

Mohombi & Nicole Scherzinger - Coconut Tree
Puis est venu Dirty Situation en duo avec l'omniprésent (trop peut-être, quelqu'un a noté qu'il avait aussi un single solo bien à lui ?) Akon où Mohombi persistait à imposer son son : pop/urbain/ensoleillé (une espèce de reggae-pop). C'est l'esprit général de "MoveMeant", son premier album paru il y a quelques jours.
Coconut Tree en est le troisième extrait et n'échappe d'autant pas à la règle qu'il l'assume en traitant d'une amourette sensuello-sexuelle après une rencontre sur la plage d'Hawaï. Le chanteur / compositeur / danseur d'origine congolaise partage le titre avec Nicole Scherzinger, ex-Pussycat Dolls, qui vient elle-même de révéler un très bon 1er album solo, "Killer Love".
Cliché mais très efficace, Coconut Tree est une douceur acidulée qui sent bon l'été, un vrai hit en puissance.

The Cataracs & Dev - Top Of The World
The Cataracs et Dev : l'histoire de producteurs qui ont trouvé leur voix. Premier fruit de leur collaboration : Like A G6 pour les Far East Movement, suivi de Bass Down Low, premier single officiel de Dev.
Leur 3ème titre enfonce le clou et risque de faire mal. Crédité en tant que The Cataracs feat. Dev, Top Of The World est dotée d'une production électro sur-puissante et d'un bon clip. Une bombe à retardement !

Happy Birthday Sydney Harbour Bridge
On Saturday 19th March 2011, Sydney Harbour Bridge turned 79.
Apart from celebrating so many years since the opening of the world famous Sydney Harbour Bridge, the day also represents the official start to the much anticipated countdown for the 80th anniversary next year, a colossal milestone for the Bridge and its harbour city.
The Bridge opened on Saturday 19 March 1932 and has proved to be the iron lung of the city of Sydney. Its construction recruited over 2500 people during the Great Depression and the Bridge now connects the populations of North and South Sydney by currently supporting approximately 156,590 vehicles on a daily basis.
Through its grand beauty and meticulously engineered stature the Bridge has also proved to be a quintessential Australian landmark, and along with the Sydney Opera House is recognisable across the world and an absolute "must-see" experience during the recent visit by Oprah Winfrey.
On Sunday 20th March, BridgeClimb Sydney, the company who shares the Bridge's secrets and showcases its spectacular view every day, celebrated the Bridge's 79th birthday with Climbers from Australia and around the world.
The company's Managing Director, Todd Coates says "BridgeClimb Sydney is privileged to celebrate with our Climbers the 79th anniversary of this engineering masterwork. This is the penultimate celebration before the 80th anniversary, and a moment to honour the cultural and historical significance of this global icon".
Dr. Dre ft. Eminem & Skylar Grey - I Need A Doctor
Après le très bon Kush, Dre fait de son deuxième single I Need A Doctor une affaire de famille en rappelant celui qu'il a repéré et lancé il y a près de 12 ans maintenant, le prodige Eminem, ainsi que Skylar Grey (la voix, entre autre, du Coming Home de Diddy Dirty Money).
Une production léchée, un son puissant et percutant (produit par Alex Da Kid), le flow d'Eminem, comme un air de pop avec Skylar Grey... Un énorme hit déjà sur le podium des ventes US et dans le Top 30 français.
I Need A Doctor est illustré par un beau clip. Beau jusqu'à sa conclusion : un hommage à Eazy-E, ancien camarade du collectif N.W.A. avec qui il s'était brouillé et n'a pas eu le temps de se réconcilier avant qu'il ne soit terrassé en quelques semaines par le SIDA au début des années 1990.

LMFAO ft. Lauren Bennett & GoonRock - Party Rock Anthem
Le tout servi par un clip à l'idée simple mais drôle et efficace : une foule de personnages hauts en couleurs se mettant à danser dans la rue. Vrai hit potentiel.
Chipmunk & Chris Brown - Champion
Disponible en bonus des bonus sur l'édition deluxe du nouvel album de Chris Brown, il s'agit avant tout du deuxième extrait du dernier opus du rappeur anglais Chipmunk sur lequel on retrouvera également la toujours aussi méconnue Keri Hilson et Kalenna Harper de Diddy Dirty Money.
Son nom ne vous dit peut-être pas grand chose, mais le premier album de Chipmunk a généré 6 singles et près de 500 000 ventes. Un garçon à suivre qui nous promet ici, porté par les très bons vocals de Chris Brown, qu'il a des prédispositions, qu'il est "né champion".
Cirque du Soleil slashes prices on 'Totem'
Cirque du Soleil has been getting rave reviews for its latest production, which is nearing the end of a run at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Between now and Sunday, eight opportunities remain to see "Totem" ... and they'll be far more affordable than previous ones: Cirque is offering a 50 percent discount on most seats. Adult tickets now range from $27.50 to $45 using the promotional rate, while kids get in for $19.25 to $31.50.
Service fees still will add up to $13 per ticket, but this is a great deal and makes the show even more worth the money than it was before. Remember, Cirque du Soleil only visits Charlotte once every few years, and the Grand Chapiteau shows (like "Totem") -- I think -- are superior to the arena productions.

Chris Brown : première écoute de "F.A.M.E."
Avant d'en faire une revue, petit rappel. Chris Brown, c'est notamment...
Run It (album "Chris Brown" - 2005)
Wall To Wall (album "Exclusive" - 2007)
Kiss Kiss (album "Exclusive" - 2007)
With You (album "Exclusive" - 2007/2008)
Forever (album "Exclusive : The Forever Edition" - 2008)
I Can Tranform Ya (album "Graffiti" - 2009)
Pas moins de 6 gros singles (les 6 plus gros à mon sens du moins) pour une carrière qui a démarré en trombe... Jusqu'à ce qu'en 2009 Chris Brown ne fasse plus la une des journaux que pour avoir violenté sa compagne de l'époque : Rihanna. "Graffiti" sort en décembre de la même année, les médias le boycottant encore, il n'a logiquement eu aucune chance.
"F.A.M.E." est là pour permettre à Breezy - l'artiste - de revenir sur le devant de la scène. Et le moins qu'on puisse en dire c'est qu'il met les petits plats dans les grands : pas moins de 18 titres sur la version deluxe ! Voici mes impressions.
Breezy m'a récupéré avec Say It With Me qui (ne criez pas au scandale, même si oui je t'entends de loin Emily de MySoul.fr) sample Human Nature de Michael Jackson façon SLW. Pas fou puisque déjà entendu mais un gimmick intéressant dans le refrain et une interprétation réussie bien que risquée.
Track 7 : LE hit de l'album. L'excellent Yeah 3x dont je vous parlais il y a quelques mois déjà. Suit Next To You, le très attendu duo avec Justin Bieber. Un Justin qui a mué, ça s'entend... et ça marche. N'en plaise à ses détracteurs, Bieber donne les meilleurs signes comme quoi il survivra à sa puberté sur un titre efficace produit par The Missinger.
Plage 8 : ça va toujours, All Back produit par Timothy Bloom (choriste d'Usher sur Papers) n'est pas aussi uptempo que les 3 précédents mais propose un ensemble assez enlevé.
C'est au 10ème titre que ça se gâte : Wet The Bed (en duo avec Ludacris), traduisez Mouiller Le Lit, est on ne peut plus explicite quoi qu'il va jusqu'à placer tout au long de la chanson des bruits de gouttes d'eau qui tombent dans une flaque. Original certes, mais tellement vulgaire. Je ne refais surface qu'après le Oh My Love d'Harmony (qui avait pourtant produit Say It With Me), avec Should've Kissed You que Breezy co-produit avec Brian Kennedy et T-Wiz et dont le refrain me fait penser aux sons pop européens des années 80's.
Passons aux bonus, inclus dans la version deluxe. Bomb s'offre la présence du très en vogue Wiz Khalifa (dont le carton outre-Atlantique s'exporte chez nous au travers des bonnes ventes de Black And Yellow et de ses deux dates parisiennes qui affichent complet depuis des semaines) sur une production qui fait penser à du Lil Wayne. A noter : le gimmick du refrain sur le "Bomb", drôle et efficace.
Love Them Like Girls (produit par Polow Da Don, auteur de l'excellent Forever, cf. ci-dessus), Paper, Scissor, Rock (produit par Timbaland) et Beg For It (des Stereotypes) dévoilent de bonnes productions, mais pas de hit potentiel.
"F.A.M.E.", dans sa version deluxe toujours, clôt en beauté avec un titre de Chipmunk sur lequel Breezy apparaît en featuring : le puissant Champion.
 |
| 14.03.2011 @ Studio de la Seine pour l'écoute de l'album en avant-première. |
CONCLUSION :
En résumé, malgré mes critiques un peu acerbes, "F.A.M.E." est globalement un bon album. Mais long. Trop long. Il aurait mérité d'être épuré de 4 à 7 titres (qui auraient par ailleurs fait de bonnes face B ou titres promo / OP de placement). Ils entravent la lisibilité de l'opus qui regorge pourtant de bonnes surprises.
Il faut aussi reconnaître qu'une fois encore Chris Brown y est vocalement impeccable et que les productions sont léchées et abouties. C'est du si bon RnB que cet opus est quasi assuré de bien marcher outre-Atlantique. Il sonne très américain, trop peut-être puisque les rares incursions dans lesquelles le public européen pourrait se reconnaître sont, hormis quelques très bons gimmicks, les 2 prods euro-dance : Yeah 3x et Beautiful People.
Si j'ai pu parfois être dur dans ce billet, c'est parce que j'aime beaucoup Chris Brown l'artiste. Le public français gagnerait vraiment à adopter ce garçon hors du commun, prodige du RnB et véritable performer.
Jetez une oreille à "F.A.M.E." à sa sortie lundi et n'hésitez pas à me faire part de vos commentaires ici-même ou sur facebook et twitter ! :)
Remerciements : @Jive_Epic.
Clins d'oeil bonus : @mysoulblog, @Wadjilicious, @emericskyrock et @iam_CM bien sûr.

[CLIP] Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough
Beau, sobre mais classe et efficace comme l'est le refrain du titre chanté par Fergie, ce qui marquera les esprits, c'est la contextualisation de ce clip puisqu'il a été tourné au Japon une semaine avant la terrible catastrophe qui a frappé l'archipel.
La vidéo, qui montre Tokyo sous son plus beau jour (en fait sa plus belle nuit), est signée d'un message de soutien et d'appel aux dons à la communauté nippone. Un bel hommage.
