Mary J. Blige and Keri Hilson Working With Chris Brown

Posted: 20 Jun 2009 10:57 AM PDT

Both seasoned veteran, Mary J. Blige, and up-and-comer, Keri Hilson, have been working with Chris Brown on some new music.

Curiously, Mary J's new single is called "Stronger" and the lyrics are, of course, all about emerging from some dark times with the support of a loved one. I know that some people have been wondering why she would choose to work with him now – they are such an odd pairing and he's still facing assault charges for allegedly attacking his girlfriend, Rihanna. I understand what she's doing. Mary J. has been through some tough times of her own and she attributes her successful and ability to overcome her struggles to the love and support of her husband and the good friends in her life. I think that she's trying to do the same for Chris Brown.

The song is okay. I'm not sure that it's finished being mixed but it's a little stark and very bland compared with Mary J's usual sound. There's not too much of Chris Brown in it so I'd barely call it a collaboration. Listen to the song here and tell me what you think:

Meanwhile, Keri Hilson told E! Online the following: "He [Chris Brown] contacted me like four or five days ago. Us working together will probably be the first project I’ve worked on as a songwriter in a while." Of course, this is more of a natural fit than the song with Mary J because Keri and Chris as closer in age, at similar points in their careers and have worked together in the past.

Keri also had some optimistic things to say about the future of Chris' career: "It is unfortunate what they are going through, but I always feel like if you’ve ever had a fan base, you’re really only one song away from appeasing that fan base. Whether that song is autobiographical or whether you want to talk about that or not, you’re just one hit song away. And that’s what I think of the industry in a nutshell."

Fly Like An Eagle Lyrics

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till Im free
Oh, lord, through the revolution

Feed the babies
Who dont have enough to eat
Shoe the children

With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin in the street
Oh, oh, theres a solution

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till Im free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till Im free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

Idol Stalker - Watching American Idol

Kris Allen Spotted Heading in to the Studio

Posted: 20 Jun 2009 11:17 AM PDT

Last season of American Idol is barely over but winner, Kris Allen, is already working on his debut album. It's got to be tough to be planning such a big release when you're also getting ready to embark on your first real tour (American Idols Live!). I wonder how he feels about being separated from his wife all this time. They are still newlyweds after all!

Anyway, I thought he looked absolutely adorable as he went into Center Staging rehearsal studio in Los Angeles with his Robeks Juice smoothie in hand.
