"I know how stupid i must have looked on Friday, I was tired and not in the mood, having a bad day. But that's no excuse for letting fans down, I'm sorry to those that were at Studio B to see me".

There was nothing ladylike about this onstage meltdown. Last Friday, pint-sized MC made an appearance at Studio B in Brooklyn, NY, and after two songs she broke down and left the stage.
In her rant she said she was broke and had been depressed. See the peculiarity for yourself..

We were sent this photo of some of the guys from , , and who are all on this summer's Bad Boys of Rock tour. We thought it was pretty funny how all of their middle fingers were so obviously airbrushed out, making the boys not really so "bad" at all.

I really can't pinpoint why I enjoyed the performance so much. Perhaps it was due to the confusion and discomfort splashed upon the young faces. Regardless, nostalgia had a firm grip on me as I reminisced about a time when spending all day in a parking lot for a festival was actually an ideal way to enjoy a Saturday.
As the sun was setting, Hammer delivered all the hits with mind-blowing energy, a backing track and a helluva lot of dancers. His set revived old favorites including 'Too Legit to Quit,' 'Pumps and a Bump,' 'Pray' and 'U Can't Touch This.' The fun got a little bit awkward, however, when the dancers toted American flag-adorned coffins on stage while Hammer launched into an anti-war rant recruiting participants for a text message capable petition and presented a new song called 'Bring Our Brothers Home.
'
My favorite moment of the show? The look of terror on young emo faces when they realized had already begun their set on the main stage as Hammer was running 15 minutes over his scheduled time.
While some may refer to the performance as embarrassing or egocentric, it was nice to see the man behind some of 90's hip-hop's beloved anthems bust a move without the parachute pants.
Coachella 2007. For the third year in a row, I have returned from the
.. and completely inspired and elated by the sounds and sights of the more than 100 bands that performed at America's best musical festival, which expanded to three days this year.
It was a lot to digest, but I've finally decided upon my top 5 musical moments from this year's event. Drumroll please..
..
I've literally waited more than a decade for the vanguards of new-wave noise to return to the stage, and their Friday night set lived up to every expectation.
They ran through all the hits ('Head On,' 'Some Candy Talking'), and even invited Scarlett Johansson to the stage to sing the chorus of 'Just Like Honey' (it was featured in ScarJo's film 'Lost in Translation,' for those who missed the connection). Mesmerizing,
Ok, this one shocked the hell out of me.
I had thought my days of tripping out to trance music were long behind me, but as the beats kicked in and 30,000 hands flew in the air, I found myself drawn to Tiesto like a moth to his flame. His over-the-top set of synth-heavy rave anthems was utterly ridiculous, yet completely undeniable. The weekend's most brilliant guilty pleasure.
The band was tight, their new songs sounded amazing, and Wyatt Earp has replaced Carlos D on bass! Interpol's performance of 'Not Even Jail' was slicker than their designer threads and quickly became my "moment" of Friday night.
Their 2005 Coachella set was my highlight that year, and their 2007 set lived up the legend.
There's nothing like rocking out to your favorite band and the sun sets behind the mountains in the distance. I felt tears well up in my eyes several times. If you weren't there, this is one set that you should kick yourself for missing.
I'm not sure what it was -- the awesome sound in the dance tent, James Murphy's white disco suit, the fact that I was delirious from dancing for about six hours straight already -- but LCD Soundsystem kicked my ass. I've seen them play many times before, but the energy of that room alone made it perhaps the best set they have ever played. Sure, Rage and the Chili Peppers drew bigger crowds, but screw them.
This is where you had to be for the ultimate Coachella moment.

R B diva ascended from a makeshift platform into a cloud of smoke as she took the stage at New York's Nokia Theatre on Sunday night with one word written across her chest: Evolution. The significance of that one word shouldn't be underestimated.
While it's the name of her new album, it's also what allowed the 21-year-old sensation to settle into her own skin, asserting a confident, cool and composed presence throughout the night's performance.
"My message to you is to love yourself," Ciara said before launching into a new track, 'I'm Just Me,' written with friend "I used to be insecure about being tall and now I'm loving it. I'm at a point where I'm embracing myself and who I am."
The singer, armed with a gaggle of backup dancers, rocked crowd favorites '1, 2 Step,' 'Goodies' and 'Lose Control,' while offering up a taste of her new material including 'Promise' and the laden 'That's Right.
' "Ya'll want to get crunk one time?" she yelled.
"It's my first live show here in New York and this feels good," the southern chanteuse confessed.
"Ya'll make me feel so good. I must say the past few years have really been a journey. I love this and want this night to last forever.

took the stage with sass and spunk in tow Friday night at Hollywood's famed Roxy Theatre, where the pint-sized Canadian songbird, dressed in a white gown, mile-high stilettos and cropped bob, rocked hits old and new, including 'I'm Like a Bird,' 'Turn Off the Light' and 'Maneater.'
The performance, part of the AOL Music LIVE! series, found Furtado equal parts feisty and fragile, from the opening kiss-off 'Say It Right' to the delicate ballad 'Try.' "Thank you so much," she said as she reached down to the front row.
"It's so nice to see all of you guys here."
The singer broke from the occasional choreographed dance routine to strap on a six-string for 'All Good Things (Come to an End),' and closed with the song that jump-started this banner year for Furtado: the Grammy nominated 'Promiscuous,' off her latest multi-platinum album, 'Loose.' "Thanks so much again," an exalted Furtado yelled.
"I'm looking forward to seeing you on my tour! See you soon!"
2006 has been quite the year for The Canadian songstress scored her first No.
1 debut with her latest multi-platinum album, 'Loose,' while her song, 'Promiscuous,' featuring , sat atop the Billboard singles chart for weeks on end. Earlier today, that tune earned Furtado a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocal.
