July 15, 2008 Four Seasons Blast Into the Mohegan Sun Review by, Kristen & Diana We just got back from a
weekend of fun up in Connecticut

Seasons in concert at the big Mohegan
Sun Arena on July 12, 2008. The

Miley Cyrus is on the prowl again and this time the pop star is ready to release her newest album. July 22nd is the expected release date for this Hannah Montana alter ego. What's the word out about this recent venture? Well many are saying it has a more "adult - sound" to it which is often with the tween / teen singers out there as their music
evolves. We just recently saw it with Jesse McCartney,
and now it's Miley's turn. She is currently performing some
select dates such as the one in Utah for the fourth of July.
Even though she admits to being frightened by fireworks, she
will brave it up on stage for the holiday. Miley is also
working on the "Hannah Montana movie" along with getting ready for
another season of Hannah Montana on Disney. You
would think that would keep this girl busy! Not so, she says
that a tour will be starting up soon. Get ready Miley is
ready to Breakout!June 30, 2008 The Newest Piano Man As July is about to roll in, FTV is happy to announce the newest spotlight on
piano man and singer, Andy Frasco. We introduced him to you
earlier this month in the Frasco
Fiasco Feature, and now is your chance to get to know Andy up close.

already ready to begin a new one. With fans across the
nation,
this southern California guy might be in your neighborhood next.
So please go ahead and check out the Andy
Frasco Spotlight!Vanessa Stars for Sears Vanessa Hudgens has a lot of projects going on. Her Sneaker Night video is gaining a lot of attention. (See FTV TV) Now, there's word out that she is going to be in a series of Sears commercials. It's about a girl trying to figure out what to wear for the first day of school. We're guessing this won't air until sometime in August. However, Access Hollywood ran a story on it that's on youtube now. You can check it out on our FTV TV channel to the right. Want to see some photos? Check out the Vanessa Hudgens Sears Album June 29, 2008 Every Night is a Sneaker Night... Well it is for Vanessa Hudgens! The High School Musical star is back on the music video circuit with the release of the official music video for her single, "Sneaker Night." Remember when Feeling the Vibe brought you her new hit single when it first came out? (*hint* you can find it in our
blog in the archived section by clicking the archive link at the bottom
of this page) The video's been up on youtube for about two
weeks
and it already almost has 400,000 views. So what's the
consensus
on the video and song? It seems like a mixed bag so far, I
guess
it's a song that you either love or you don't. Personally we
like
the rhythm and think it's a fun tune to dance around to, which seems to
be the purpose of the whole song, something fun for summer.
Agree
or disagree?*Watch her new video by clicking the Vanessa image on the right under "FTV TV." June 27, 2008 Mississippi Welcomes Jesse McCartney Jesse
McCartney with his recent hot release of "Departure" will be
celebrating the red, white, and blue in the deep south.
Independence Day fireworks will be brightening the sky but
will
have to share the stage with the newest
r&b heartthrob, Jesse Mac. He will bring
his new hits plus some originals to the stage at:The Snowden Grove Amphitheater Southaven, Mississippi When: 5 pm, July 3, 2008 What: Q107.5's Red, White, and Boom Celebration Jessica Simpson Goes Country All the Way Well we know Jessica has an amazing voice and a personality that reality tv seemed to embrace, plus we know all about her fashion sense.
Well now her fashion sense went to cowgirl town.
Jessica's newest venture brings her into "country" style
clothing. Perhaps she is coinciding this new clothing line
with the fact that her music has gone country too. Good way
to dive right into her new niche. Jessica already has a bit
of a country background professionally with the "Dukes of Hazzard"
movie, but even moreso with her Texas upbringing. The line
will feature mostly denim wear that has the "designer" look
to it in a western flare. Is the country clothing industry
ready for Jessica's clothing style? Let's just wait and see.Push Play Does Everything but "Blend" In After a sold out show at the Blender in New York City, green means go for this special group...known as Push Play. Can their myspace be anymore hopping? Well one may wonder, but we're sure Push Play will once again top themselves. With the announcement of their sold out show, and many
more to come now branching out to other cities and states for their
tour, the whole country is about to get a better taste of Push Play's
whole vibe. Their fans are awesome supporters and always
treated
to the best shows with meet and greets that go beyond the typical
autograph session. Push Play knows what it means to be
homegrown
and very successful. They're even slated to appear and be
interviewed at a large vip conference in New York City. They
have
become the poster child of teen music. June 13, 2008 Ultimate Prom ! We told you it was coming, gave you a glimpse of what would be covered, but now you can see everything about the Ultimate Prom.

Well, sources say Simon Cowell heard Jesse's work on the song, "Bleeding Love," a Leona Lewis hit. The song was originally supposed to be on Jesse's album but he decided to give it to the 21 year old popstar who had major hits with it. Jesse says it was about a long distance relationship he had and that he was so in love he thought about ending his career for this girl. The song helped him through his 4 month hiatus from his girlfriend and he still has his career! See some more recent pictures of Jesse McCartney. Jonas Join the Zoo!

Jessica Graces the Cover Again…
April 29, 2008 Hilary Duff Hangs Up on 90210 While the reports stated that Hilary Duff was up for the role of Annie Mills on the
new 90210 spinoff it seems as though Hil doesn't want to answer their
calls. She has declined the role and it instead will go to
Shenae Grimes of "Degrassi" fame. Lori Loughlin will also be
in the new spinoff. I guess we'll have to wait a little
longer for Hilary to be back on tv. April 28, 2008 90210 Calls Hilary Duff Hilary Duff has been offered a role in the brand new 90210 spinoff. Could this be one of the first time the singing sensation will be hitting the airwaves again? It's possible as she has been chosen to assume the role of "Annie Mills" if she accepts it. She will play an emo music fan who is into theater. Do you think this is a good idea for Hil? April 25, 2008 High School Musical Reality Show... and You Could Be In It! The success of High School Musical continues. This time it hits the reality sector. ABC is launching a new reality series and are holding casting calls for girls and guys ages 16 - 22 in two different locations. The first is Sunday, April 28, 2008 at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California. The second
is at Champion Stadium at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in
Orlando, Florida on May 7, 2008. Do you think you have what
it
takes to be like Zac, Vanessa, and Ashley? Well let's see, go
for
it!Another side note: Nick Lachey will be the host of the show starting on July 20th. It is aimed to be a summer hit starting out on Sunday and Monday nights for three weeks, then move into just once a week on Mondays. The winner will be chosen in mid September 2008. National Anthem for Boston Celtics Game by Jada! Four days ago, Universal Motown recording artists Jada, were asked to perform the National Anthem for the big Celtics vs. Hawks NBA playoff game. Check it out to the right on FTV TV and see how it sounded! April 21, 2008 Is it a Sneakernight for you? Vanessa Hudgens sophomore album, "Identified" due out in June of this year has a single named Sneakernight as was mentioned in an earlier blog. Want to hear the song? Now you can, check out Vanessa Hudgens' "Sneakernight." With a thumbs up rating of 63% by early listeners, do you agree with them? April 18, 2008 New photo surfaces for the HSM Star’s Debut Vanessa Hudgens sophomore album, "Identified" is ready and soon to be released. Her new single, “Sneakernight” definitely seems
to have
the name for a hit in the music world with an unusual twist. It gives
off the fun and carefree attitude of teens just letting loose to have
fun on the weekend. We think it sounds like the making of an upbeat
song you’ll want to dance too. Plan on buying it? Just Watched... Just finished watching a recording of Mariah Carey on Oprah. We can’t help but see that Mariah just seems so much happier and more relaxed these days. Could it be her new diet and lifestyle, her new album, E=MC2, or maybe just a time of festivity for her? We’re not sure, but it’s really nice to see. She was quite candid in her interview as she showed everyone her new exercise plan with her fitness trainer, Patricia taking everyone in to see a more personal side of the girl. When Oprah spoke with her about her recent surpassing of Elvis on the #1 charts, she gave all glory and honor to God. She performed a beautiful rendition of “Bye, Bye” from her new album, E=MC2. She calls it an album that still part of her “festivity” stage, just even more increased. All of Mariah’s songs are written from “her own personal experiences” as stated on Oprah, so you will get an even deeper look into the life Mariah on this album. April 13, 2008 Mariah Carey On American Idol The raspy sweet voiced David Archuleta to the vast array of other top singers on American Idol will have a brand new challenge this week. It is a challenge unlike any other that American Idol contestants have experienced . Mariah Carey will take the leadership role for the
contestants this week, acting as the mentor as the contestants choose
from a long list of #1 hits from the one and only Mariah Carey.
We'd say this is definitely TIVO worthy... what a
treat to have such a successful artist mentor you. Let's see
what her teaching skills are like. American Idol on Fox at
8pm est / 7pm cst on Tuesday, April 15, 2008. April 10, 2008 Ryan Seacrest Gives Us a Shout Out! Did you hear Ryan’s shout out to our magazine? Haha it took us by surprise
too. Right after Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown finished singing their
duet of “No Air” Ryan Seacrest walked over to both
of them and said, “I’m Feeling the Vibe here
tonight.” Well maybe it wasn’t with us in mind, but
hey we think it’s pretty cool that he chose those particular
words. April 10, 2008
Mariah Hits the Idol Stage
**review**
Mariah
Carey
closed out the big special American Idol event tonight with a new
rendition of
“Fly Like a Bird.” We really love this
song, it is one of our favorite Mariah songs, if you can possibly even April 9, 2008 :::::The What We’re Listening to Corner :::: We’re always on the lookout for all sorts of new music and sounds. Usually the songs we end up liking pop up out of nowhere. One day we had the tv on and heard a pretty strong rhythm with just the piano. It caught our attention but by the time we went to look, the commercial ended. We decided to keep it in the backs of our minds until the commercial came up again. Well once again, when we weren’t really thinking about it, the commercial appeared. This time we paid closer attention. The song started off, “head underwater and they tell you, take it easy for a while…” that beat of the piano just stays with you. Thankfully, they named the artist on the commercial and we hurried to check her out. Turns out her name is “Sara Bareilles” with the song “Love Song.” It has a catchy rhythm and the use of the piano as the main instrument makes it a song you want to learn and sing along to. To answer the question, “what are we listening to?” There’s your answer, “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles…check it out!
April 9, 2008 Miley Cyrus Hits American Idol **review**
So
we just saw Miley Cyrus perform on the special, “American
Idol Gives Back.”
First, it’s a wonderful idea that American Idol is bringing a
number of
celebrities together including Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Billy
Crystal,
Fergie, Carrie Underwood, and
So
what’s next for this multitalented
starlet? Well word
has it she’s on her
way back to Nashville to start filming the “Hannah Montana
Movie.” Seeing
that her track record has been
stellar so far, we’re guessing that this movie
won’t be much different!
April 9, 2008 Disney's
1,2,3,….4! Disney
is flying
high on High School Musical fame.
With
the huge success of this movie creating a tremendous trend in the youth
market. So the
question is, will Troy,
Gabriella, Sharpay and company be back, played as the same
people…the very
popular Zac Efron, Vanessa
Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale?
Well there’s a possibility that may not
happen. With High
School Musical 3
waiting in the wings to hit the big screen cinemas, Disney does not
want to
stop there. Rich
Ross confirmed that
“we are writing ‘High School Musical
4’”
While there is
still a possibility the cast will be back, only time will tell if that
really
happens. As Zac Efron already said
regarding the third HSM, “it’s the third
act.
This is the legacy that we leave…I think it’s
going to be a good way to
go out with a bang.”
