  • Charli XCX Wows Saturday Night Live Audience

    Charli XCX may have given her all at New York City’s Jingle Ball on Friday night, but that in no way lessened her performance one night later on Saturday Night Live. The audience was wowed by her performances of both ‘Boom Clap‘ and ‘Break the Rules.’ This was the singer’s SNL debut, but likely won’t be her only stint as the show’s musical guest.

    On December 16, Charlie XCX’s new album ‘Sucker’ is set for release. This is her sophomore album, on which both of the aforementioned songs are featured. Charli was awarded the Hitmaker honor just a couple of days ago at Billboard’s Women in Music event.

    “To be recognized for my work as a songwriter is really incredible because that’s something i care about so much. … It’s been fabulous and f—ing wild. Every single woman in this room is so incredible,” she said when accepting the award.

    Charli XCX’s new album was initially scheduled for October, however, the success of ‘Boom Clap’ made Neon Gold and Atlantic Records decide to wait a bit longer–no doubt capitalizing on the single’s enormous success.

    NPR says it’s been Charlie XCX’s year, noting that not only is she a stellar performer–as seen by last night’s musical guest spot on SNL–she is also a highly acclaimed song writer as well.

    “She’s particularly known for her collaborations–writing and appearing in Icona Pop’s ‘I Love It,’ and she’s already looking ahead, with some co-written songs scheduled to appear on the new Gwen Stefani record. But Charli XCX’s second album, ‘Sucker,’ comes out Tuesday, and her name is the only one on it. It’s a boisterous punk-pop mix, full of snark and rebellion,” they report.

    Did you catch Charli XCX on Saturday Night Live this weekend? Will you be picking up a copy of ‘Sucker’ when it comes out on Tuesday?

  • Iggy Azalea Takes Tumble Off L.A. Stage

    Iggy Azalea Takes Tumble Off L.A. Stage

    Iggy Azalea took a tumble off an L.A. stage, landing on the floor below. The ‘Fancy‘ singer was part of a group of singers doing an MTV VMA benefit show at The Avalon this week when she hit the floor–well below the stage–hard.

    The Aussie was actually performing ‘Fancy,’ along with ‘Boom Clap’ singer Charlie XCX when the misstep occurred. The two ladies were dancing backwards and away from one another during their act when Iggy Azalea simply and certainly unknowingly ran out of stage to dance on–and plummeted to the floor instead.

    She actually went down several feet, but managed to laugh about it enough to share the faux pas via Instragram.

    “Sorry but it would be a crime not to share this with you all, I know I laughed. #StillFinishedtheSongTho #KeptOnRapping #TheShowMustGoOn,” she captioned the following video clip.

    Iggy was helped back up on to the stage by a couple of nearby security guards. She was very relieved–even going so far as to say she felt “very blessed” that she didn’t break her legs.

    Iggy Azalea was nominated for seven awards at the MTV Video Music Awards that air this Sunday, including Video of the Year, Best Female, Best Pop, Best Collaboration (with Ariana Grande), and Best Art Direction. It would be an absolute shock if she doesn’t walk away with at least one.

    Will you be tuning in to the VMAs on Sunday to see if Iggy Azalea wins? Do you expect either her collaboration with Ariana Grande or her song ‘Fancy’ will yield her an award?

    Hopefully Iggy will be very careful when she takes the stage to receive said expected award. She would likely never live down falling off the stage at the VMAs.
