New single from Obiwon
RB act Obiora
Obiwon has released a new single, ‘Great Again’, off his forthcoming
third album titled ‘T.R2011’. ‘Great Again’ is an ode to Nigeria,
charging people to come out and vote during the forth coming general
elections. The track premiered on notjustok.com earlier this week.
Obiwon became popular after the release of his hit track ‘Onyinye’ off
his debut album ‘Overture’ in 2006. Afterwards, he won the Nigerian
Music Award for ‘Voice of the Decade’ and the HipHop World Awards in
2007. In 2009, his song ‘Obi Mu O’ grew out of his sophomore album,
‘The Rebirth’, released that same year, to further establish him in the
music industry.

Aguilera fumbles the lyrics at the Super Bowl
The Grammy winner
flubbed the lyrics of her rendition of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’,
which preceded the title game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the
Green Bay Packers.
Instead of “O’er
the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?,” she said, “What
so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last gleaming?,” a variation of
a line she had already performed.
She was mildly
criticised on Internet and social networking sites but there was none
of the outrage caused when Janet Jackson infamously bared a breast
after a “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2004 Super Bowl.
The NFL has since
turned to safer acts and the headline performers this year were the
Black Eyed Peas, who made a spectacular entrance, descending from the
Cowboys Stadium rafters. The hip-hop band performed a string of their
hits, including ‘I Gotta Feeling’, ‘Boom Boom Pow’, ‘Where Is the
Love?’, before they were joined on the giant makeshift stage by Slash
and then Usher.
Around 100,000
people are packed into the stadium to watch the game and entertainment
shows while more than 100 million are expected to watch on television.
