Neon Rewind: Britney Spears – Baby One More Time

There’s a catchy sexified pop song blazing up the charts, records are being broken, fans are anticipating what will surely be a smokin’ hot video. Oh, yeah.  It’s Britney Spears season!
Still not convinced? American Idol’s latest champ Kris Allen recently covered Brit’s debut hit “Baby One More Time” in concert and everyone in the audience [...]

Neon Rewind: 3LW – Playas Gon’ Play

There’s all of this talk about Naturi Naughton, the actress/singer who is appearing in the remake to the classic, Fame, but die-hard fans of early 2000’s pop will remember Naturi as one third of the girl group 3LW.
3LW — or Three Little Women, not just a moniker they went with because they were young, but [...]

//Neon Rewind: Destiny’s Child Performs Diana Ross Hit At VH1 Divas 2000//

Admit it, you completely squealed when the line-up for the returning VH1 Divas concert was released today. And why shouldn’t you be pumped? The VH1 Divas series always brought out some of the fiercest female talent of the moment. Former Divas included Mary J Blige, Jewel, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey and a solo Beyonce.
But before [...]

//Neon Rewind: The Verve Pipe – Freshman//

After interviewing up-and-comer Eric Hutchinson for a Limelight Spotlight, the NL crew sat at the Hard Rock Cafe enjoying the sights, sounds, and food. As we chatted about how awesome Eric was (and how many times I uttered the word ‘awesome’ during the interview) we were quickly hushed when an acoustic performance of a familiar song started [...]

//Neon Rewind: Nelly Featuring Tim McGraw – Over And Over//

For some reason, people are looking at Kanye West’s switch from rapping to singing on his new album 808s and Heartbreak released this week, albeit layered with Auto-tune effects, like it’s something new for rappers to do. Rappers have seen “singing” the hooks to their own songs for a long time. Ja Rule was criticized [...]

//Neon Rewind: Garth Brooks As Chris Gaines – Lost In You//

I almost thought to dedicate this week’s Neon Rewind to Beyonce seeing how her third and most ambitious album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, hit stores this week. But, honestly, who isn’t just a wee bit Beyonced out right now? *raises hand*
She has, however, inspired the selection of this week’s video. All this talk of singers and [...]

//Neon Rewind: Halloween Video Playlist//

It’s Halloween! Have a happy one, folks! This is a great holiday–it isn’t truly a holiday because you don’t get the day off work or school, so how can you truly consider it one? But you get to eat candy and dress up. While you’re trickin’ (….) and treatin’ and eatin’ all of that tooth-rotting [...]

//Neon Rewind: Dream Featuring Loon – Crazy//

All this talk about the breakup of Danity Kane this week got me to thinking about Diddy’s first R&B/Pop female group, Dream. You ‘member, ‘member? The members Holly Blake, Diana Ortiz, Ashley Poole, and Melissa Schuman were a quartet of unnaturally cute and talented teen girls. Their first single “He Loves You Not” was a [...]

//Neon Rewind: Michelle Williams – Heard A Word//

Remember when Destiny’s Child lost (or let go of…depends on who you believe) 2 members and quickly found 2 more in 2000? New hire Farrah Franklin quickly faded into the background and on out of the group, leaving the final and arguably most popular version of the super group: Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle [...]

//Neon Rewind: (Robin) Thicke – When I Get You Alone//

It’s no secret: the music industry is about 30% talent, 70% looks. OK, so I did no scientific research to come up with those statistics but you can agree that it’s pretty accurate. That formula leaves a lot of great artists in the dark. So was the case with the 2002 debut of a quirky, long-haired, shaggy-looking guy [...]
