[VIDEO PREMIERE] Cee Lo Green // Cry Baby

And the hits keep on rolling... Cee Lo Green has premiered the video for his latest single Cry Baby, the fifth from his platinum-selling album The Lady Killer.

The video features Jaleel White (Steve Urkel from Family Matters!) as Green. It's a great clip that keeps in theme with Green's 1950's feel.

TONIGHT, ENRIQUE IGLESAIS IS *AHEM* LOVING YOU

Well, on the radio edit he is. On the not-so-G-rated edit, well..., it sounds a little different. On that version Enrique is, well..., fucking you. Apparently, Enrique Iglesias was desperate to get on the Cee Lo Green and P!nk "Fuck" Wagon that we have two versions of his latest smash available.

Tonight (I'm Loving You) and Tonight (I'm Fucking You) were both released digitally last week in Australia, and the track(s) have made a record smash on the recent ARIA Singles Chart debuting at #3 this week. The "fucking" track was featured on a deluxe limited edition of Enrique's Euphoria album, released in France in December... so expect to see a similar type of release here in Australia in the coming months.

So why am I blogging about Enrique Iglesias? Well, the video. I've just come across this and I have to say I'll be surprised if it makes it to Video Hits (ha!) on a Saturday morning. Whilst there's no "fucking" in it, there's lots of "fucking" in it. Very raunchy... and really, that's probably the only reason why it made it onto this blog.

Come now, tell me you didn't think I was that pure? Enjoy my dear friends.

Tonight (I'm Fucking You) is available digitally now. [ITUNES]

BRUNO MARS WOULD CATCH A "GRENADE" FOR YOU. TRUE STORY.

Well, well, well... hasn't Mr Peter Gene Hernandez, aka Bruno Mars, been busy in 2010!

He's featured on some of the biggest numbers this year - Nothin' On You by B.o.B, and Billionaire by Travie McCoy. He's also co-penned some of the biggest numbers this year - Fuck You by Cee Lo Green, and Right Round by Flo Rida.

Not to be content with that above, Bruno has just released his debut album, Doo-Wops and Hooligans. The album features the global smash hit Just The Way You Are and his latest single, Grenade.

Just The Way You Are went to #1 in over eight countries, including the big markets - US, UK, Canada and Australia - and Top 5 in another eight. His follow up single, Grenade, looks like it may also provide Bruno with some very well-deserved recognition again, as it bullets it's way into the top 20 of the US, Canadian and Australian markets.

A bit of trivia for you - did you know that young Peter received the nickname Bruno by his father as a child as he was a chubby boy, and there was a chubby wrestler at the time called Bruno Sammartino? Fact!

To quote a great girlfriend of mine "Bruno sounds like a young, raw Michael Jackson" - and I couldn't help but agree. The similarities are there in the voice, the emotion and the definite early signs of success of this rising star. Whilst Just The Way You Are was a great song, for me Grenade is superb. Love it, love it, love it.

Doo-Wops and Hooligans is out via iTunes Australia now. Do yourself a favour and purchase it.

Fuck you! And her too :)

I can't help but comment on the brilliance that is Cee Lo Green, ex-Goodie Mob / ex-Dungeon Family / ex-Gnarls Barkley member. Most of you probably won't recall Goodie Mob, or Dunegon Family for that matter, but you will be familiar with tracks by Gnarls Barkley.

Their 2006 worldwide smash Crazy seemed to stay in the charts for what seemed like eternity, and was covered by everyone from Nelly Furtado to The Kooks. Hell, even the Violent Femmes covered the track and released it on a limited edition blue 12" vinyl. The scariest cover of all however would probably have to go to Paris Hilton, who supposedly covered the track for her debut album... although it missed the final cut. Yeah, damn for us.

Back to Cee Lo. His new single, Fuck You!, off his third solo album (The Lady Killer, out December worldwide) is just fantastic. Whilst we were righteously informed with Lily Allen's Fuck You in 2009 which for me was more about a statement, Cee Lo's Fuck You! is clearly aimed towards some dirty bitch who dissed him growing up. Gotta love it. Enjoy the clip below.
