The exposure captured the attention of composer and producer Luc Plamondon, wHO cast her to interchange Luce Dufault as Marie-Jeanne in a revival meeting of his David Bowie-inspired rock opera house Starmania. Boulay future surfaced as the vocalizing voice of Alys Robi in the tv series of the same bring up. In late 1996, she also issued her debut solo LP, Fallait Pas, marking a minor Canadian hit with the single "J'enrage." The 1998 review, États d'Amour, proven Boulay's commercial-grade breakthrough, galvanized by the Plamondon-penned bang up "Je T'oublierai, Je T'oublierai." She besides earned Best Female Singer of the Year at the annual Félix Awards. Boulay's 2000 tone ending Mieux Qu'ici Bas made her a star in France, where she won Best New Artist honors at the Victoires de la Musique awards. She toured both Quebec and France in the year to fall out, with a pair of dates at Montreal's Wilfried-Pelletier yielding the live release Au Moment d'Être à Vous. Benjamin Biolay and Pierre Jaconelli co-produced Boulay's 2004 drive Tout un Jour. De Retour à la Source followed three years afterwards, stretch the number deuce spot on the Canadian pop charts.





Cotton quits X Factor for US career

Ash: Pete keeps me grounded

PASS the bucket.
ASHLEE SIMPSON and PETE WENTZ are soin love, they forget
the rest of the world doesn't want to know.

Just days after the FALL OUT BOY bassist credited his fiance with
helping to cure his depression, JESSICA's younger sister revealed how
Pete keeps her "grounded".
Grounded ... Ashlee Simpson
The Outta My Head singer - who announced her engagement to the tattooed
musician last month - also reckons she surrounds herself with good people to
avoid ending up like troubled stars BRITNEY SPEARS and LINDSAY
LOHAN.

She said: "I don't see myself following the path those girls take. I'm
almost 24. I'm pretty together and I'm getting married.

"I wouldn't ever let myself get that way and I don't surround myself with
'yes' people. I think that's the most important thing.

"People don't control me or anything I do and I've never had that problem."

Notorious B.I.G.'s Family Allowed To Proceed With Lawsuit

LATEST: A federal judge has reinstated a wrongful death lawsuit brought against Los Angeles city officials by the family of slain rapper NOTORIOUS B.I.G. - five months after the case was originally thrown out of court.
In December (07), U.S. District Judge Florence Marie Cooper ruled the rap star's family members did not file a claim against the city and a disgraced Los Angeles cop, believed to be involved with the 1997 murder, by an agreed deadline.
The lawsuit alleged a former police detective and two partners were responsible for the drive-by shooting death of the rapper - real name Christopher Wallace.
But, according to court papers revealed on Thursday (08May08), the Wallace family successfully appealed, and now Cooper is giving them another chance to file a new lawsuit - as long as the paperwork is completed within 20 days.
This is the second time the Wallaces have tried to hold L.A. authorities to account for B.I.G.'s untimely demise - a judge declared a mistrial in a 2002 wrongful death case after learning Los Angeles police officials had withheld evidence.
The 24-year-old's death remains unsolved.

Opening with 'Flowers And Football Tops', they followed the song by playing 'Lonesome Swan' � a song recently written by frontman James Allan just in time to make the album cut.

After playing 'Go Square Go', Allan invited the crowd to come backstage and share the band�s rider, saying, "We've got a nice food basket back there if anybody wants to get involved."

The band closed their set with debut single 'Daddy's Gone', with the crowd loudly singing back the final verses.

Glasvegas played:

'Flowers And Football Tops'
'Lonesome Swan'
'It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry'

Art Tatum was among the to the highest degree extraordinary of all jazz musicians, a pianist with terrific proficiency world Health Organization could non only recreate laughably speedy lines with both workforce (his 1933 solo variant of "Tiger Rag" sounds as if in that location were three pianists jam unitedly) just was harmonically 30 age ahead of his time; all pianists ingest to consider to a certain extent with Tatum's innovations in ordination to be taken seriously. Able to play stride, get around, and boogie-woogie with swiftness and complexity that could only previously be imagined, Tatum's speedy reflexes and unbounded mental imagery kept his improvisations filled with fresh (and sometimes futuristic) ideas that set up him way in advance of his coevals.


Born closely blind, Tatum gained some formal pianissimo preparation at the Toledo School of Music just was largely self-taught. Although influenced a bit by Fats Waller and the semi-classical pianists of the 1920s, thither is rattling no explanation for where Tatum gained his inspiration and ideas from. He number one played professionally in Toledo in the mid-'20s and had a wireless show during 1929-1930. In 1932 Tatum traveled with isaac Bashevis Singer Adelaide Hall to New York and made his recording debut ensuant Hall (as 1 of two pianists). But for those wHO had never heard him in person, it was his solos of 1933 (including "Tiger Rag") that proclaimed the arriver of a truly major talent. In the 1930s, Tatum spent periods working in Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and (in 1938) England. Although he lED a popular trio with guitar player Tiny Grimes (later on Everett Barksdale) and bassist Slam Stewart in the mid-'40s, Tatum spent well-nigh of his life as a solo pianist world Health Organization could forever panic the contention. Some observers criticized him for having overly lots technique (is such a affair possible?), working out and then safekeeping the same arrangements for particular songs, and for victimization likewise many notes, merely those minor reservations wan when compared to Tatum's reworkings of such tunes as "Yesterdays," "Start the Beguine," and even "Humoresque." Although he was non a composer, Tatum's rearrangements of standards made even warhorses level-headed like new compositions.


Art Tatum, wHO recorded for Decca end-to-end the 1930s and Capitol in the late '40s, starred at the Esquire Metropolitan Opera House concert of 1944 and appeared concisely in his only photographic film in 1947, The Fabulous Dorseys (star a jam session on a heated up megrims). He recorded extensively for Norman Granz near the end of his life in the fifties, both solo and with all-star groups; all of the music has been reissued by Pablo on a six-CD box localise. His previous death from azotaemia has not resulted in whatever loss of renown, for Art Tatum's recordings silent deliver the ability to panic modern pianists.





Kylie tells Britney to "reach out" for help

April Fools

We confess. LiveDaily fell for an April Fool's prank that girl-rockers The Donnas [ tickets ] played on their fans via a MySpace email blast. The group won't, in fact, be playing a three-night stand at a Chuck E. Cheese in Los Angeles, nor will it be playing a handful of other shows at similar venues in celebration of their 15th anniversary.

Now that we think about it, it does sound kind of outlandish.

Sorry. We'll keep a better watch on the calendar next time. And watch out, Donnas. Payback is sweet.

When he checked it out he found that Pete wasn't nicking it, he was filling it up.
