Lil Kim Sings
Jul 24, 2009 Cyndi Lauper, Lil Kim
Lil Kim joined Cyndi Lauper for a duet at the concert which celebrated the birthday of Nelson Mandela at Radio City Music Hall in New York City last weekend. And surprisingly, the female rapper’s performance was really awesome. The two artists performed Cyndi’s hit ‘Time After Time’ which they mashed up with Lil Kim’s ‘Lighters Up’. Obviously, Lil Kim is not a singer but the fact actually works to her advantage in the duet. Lil Kim showed something that was raw, vulnerable and pretty about her singing. I think this is probably the most real she has ever been. I wonder if she’s planning to make a new album of her singing like Queen Latifah has done.

American Idol Finale
May 22, 2009 Adam Lambert, Black Eyed Peas, Carlos Santana, Cyndi Lauper, David Cook, Jason Mraz, KISS, Keith Urban, Kris Allen, Lionel Richie, Queen, Queen Latifah, Rod Stewart
Despite putting on one of the biggest productions compared to previous seasons, American Idol season 8’s finale was down in viewership by 12% compared to last year’s finale show. That’s too bad because whoever chose to not watch missed an amazing set of performances. Performers included Queen Latifah, David Cook, Jason Mraz, Carlos Santana, Black Eyed Peas, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper, Keith Urban, Steve Martin, KISS and Queen. Of course, every single one of the Top 13 was also there to perform. It was a great showcase of talent. The past, present and future of music was greatly presented in one amazing show.
