Hundreds of local and out-of-state residents came to see Senator Hillary Clinton speak in Wilmington, NC on a beautiful evening by the historic riverfront area in front of the Cape Fear River and the USS North Carolina.

Make-Out and Dance: Lady GaGa

Make-Out and Dance:  Lady GaGa

I’ve teased her once. Now I’m giving you another taste. Make-out and dance to Lady GaGa because that’s what I’d be doing. This is one hottie to look out for. Fresh out of NYC, this do-it-yourself disco-erotica queen is about to change the world one sequin at a time. She makes her own clothes, writes her own songs (imagine that), and will soon enough shatter every disco ball from here to San Francisco and beyond. Smitten, smoking and sexy – bring her and her beats on!

Jennifer Taylor – A Different View

Jennifer Taylor – <i>A Different View</i>

Connecticut singer/songwriter Jennifer Taylor sings with intensity and undeniable talent, with her second album, A Different View. Natural comparisons drift off to the Melissa Etheridge buoy, and though many get compared to her, Taylor could hold her own with her building accoustic rock that by the time you finish the album, you want to play it again.

Leona Lewis – Spirit: Believe the Hype

Leona Lewis – <i>Spirit</i>:  Believe the Hype

Leona Lewis Spirit cover

The current number one album on Billboard’s album charts, Spirit, Leona Lewis soars as the newest pop diva of 2008. By now, you’ve heard the comparison to Whitney and Mariah; and I think Leona could join those exceptional talent easily. Leona could be on a first name basis with America now as the heavy promotions are paying off. Reasons to be impressed and to take notice, currently Leona is the first British female artist ever to debut at #1, the first British artist ever to have her first album debut at #1, and now this is the biggest digital album sales week ever for a new artist.
