Elton John On Miley Cyrus: “I See A Meltdown Waiting To Happen”
In addition to speaking on Miley Cyrus, legendary performer Elton John also gave some pretty blunt opinions on Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga. From The Australian:
“I look at Miley Cyrus and I see a meltdown waiting to happen. And she’s so young! But she’s got two records in the top 20, so who is going to stop her? Maybe it’s a British thing, but I can spot a car crash before it happens. I was in my dressing room in Las Vegas when they announced that Michael Jackson was playing 50 dates at the O2. I turned to my agent and said: ‘He won’t do a single one of those.’ I could tell you he was going to die. He’d been doing drugs for so long, he’d been a mess for so long – and I’ve known Michael since he was 12 or 13 – that it was never going to happen. Everyone was saying it was going to be great and I was saying: ‘Hello? Are you looking at the real thing here?’
“With Gaga – who I love, she’s the godmother to our children – I’d like to be able to talk to her right now, but I can’t get through to her. And there are times when you have to listen. When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don’t question you, you’re in a dangerous place. When you get famous you get complacent. You stop listening to new things. But my album’s sound reflects the fact that all the things I love at the moment are stripped down. Lorde had a big US hit with a song called Royal. It’s just her voice and a drum machine, and it’s beautiful in its simplicity. It’s the kind of direction Gaga should be going in.”

Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” Sounds Identical to “Locked Out of Heaven” by Bruno Mars
Producer/Soundcloud user Bitman explains why Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” and Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out of Heaven” are virtually the same from a musical standpoint (and mashes the two songs to prove it). Its not that amazing that two pop songs are very similar, but still worth noting.
The songs are both in D minor. Miley Cyrus song “Wrecking Ball” mixed with “Locked Out of Heaven” by Bruno Mars. Same chorus, different applications of triplets in melody in form, otherwise almost identical. No same producers, no crossover between personnel at all (as far as digging on Wikipedia has shown). New Miley album drops Oct 4th with this as one of the main tracks. Bruno Mars’s song came out last October. I see a pattern.
Pop music isn’t really much more than nursery rhymes with adult undertones and studio production. Wisen up, people.

BREAKING: @TimWestwood Joins @ChoiceFM
Welcome @TimWestwood to Choice!!
— Choice FM (@ChoiceFM) September 15, 2013
From Radio Today:
Global Radio has signed up former BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra DJ Tim Westwood for a new weekly show in the capital.
Tim’s last show on the BBC was Saturday night, during which he gave a ‘shout out’ to Global boss Richard Park thanking him for giving him a job.
His new two hour show starts Saturday 21st September on Choice FM, from 9pm.
“shout out to Richard Park he gave me my first job & he’s hired me again #WestwoodChoiceFM21stSept” Westwood put on Twitter. Choice FM later tweeted: “The Big Dawg is coming… next and every Saturday night 9 – 11. Westwood on Choice!”
Richard Park, Global’s Director of Broadcasting, said: “Tim Westwood is a true pioneer of the music and radio industry in this country. He is the undoubted king of urban and hip hop in the UK and we are thrilled to welcome him to Global and Choice FM.”
It was announced in July that Westwood would be leaving the BBC after nearly 20 years as part of the schedule on Radio 1 or 1Xtra. Westwood joined Radio 1 in 1994 to present the station’s first rap show and most recently hosted the drive time show on 1Xtra.
Choice FM originally launched in Brixton in 1990 as Britain’s first 24 hour black music station. It now broadcasts to south and north London from Leicester Square on 96.9 and 107.1 FM along with digital television and online.
