The Friday Five: Songs On Repeat This Week

Leave a comment

1. Jackson Guthy – Pretty Lady
We were introduced to Jackson Guthy on the BTR Summer Break Tour last summer and after sitting through his set two times, we were totally into every single song by the third go around! His songs are infectious and catchy. Get to the 5SOS tour early because Jackson is definitely an opening act you’ll want to know. Grab a copy of Jackson’s new song “Young & Single” on iTunes now!

2. The Vamps – Girls On TV
At their first headlining show here in NYC, The Vamps played a few new songs from their debut album “Meet The Vamps” (out now in Ireland, the UK and most of Europe on Monday!). One of those was Girls On TV. It’s got a reggae feel, but still displays The Vamps acoustic driven sound. Pick up a copy of “Meet The Vamps” on iTunes UK now! Check out all of their signings around the UK this week HERE!

3. Cody Simpson – Surfboard
One of our favorite stars on this seasons Dancing With The Stars, Cody Simpson, released his new single “SURFBOARD” to great reviews. It’s been on constant repeat in the fangirl office since it dropped. Pick up a copy of “SURFBOARD” on iTunes and don’t forget to watch and vote for Cody on DWTS every Monday.

4. Austin Mahone – MMMYeah
We can’t say enough awesome things about Austin Mahone but we’ll keep trying. The one man boyband recently celebrated his 18th birthday by announcing his debut album “The Secret” as well as announcing a headlining tour featuring The Vamps and Fifth Harmony. Tickets are on sale now and with every ticket order, you receive a digital copy of Austin’s album!

5. 5SOS – She Looks So Perfect
5 Seconds Of Summer kick off their North American headlining tour today and what better way to celebrate their EP debuting in the top spot on the Billboard Digital Albums Chart! Like Billboard, we totally dig their power pop punk sound and we can’t wait to see them in NYC. Pick up a copy of the US Edition of the “She Looks So Perfect EP” on iTunes and sing along all summer long!

There is nothing better than an outdoor summer concert, especially one at Jones Beach (seriously, what summer venue could be more perfect than one surrounded by water?).  We were thrilled this morning when Long Island’s 106.1 announced the return of Summer Jam!    While we would have loved to go to Summer Jam back in the late 90s/early 00s, when it was last held, the lineup this year is not to be missed!

James Maslow and Cody Simpson Join Dancing With the Stars Season 18

2 Comments

As we’ve said before, we generally stay away from reality TV shows.  Unless of course they star a current or former boy band member.  In which case, we are ALL IN.

We’d been expecting Cody Simpson to join the cast of Dancing With the Stars, since he kindly asked his fans if they thought it would be a good idea back in December.

Cody Simpson DWTS offer tweets

But we had no idea that one of our favorite boy band members, James Maslow of Big Time Rush, would be joining the cast this season.  He was so good at keeping it secret we literally screamed when it was announced on Good Morning America this morning!!

Watch the announcement clip below.

We haven’t been invested in DWTS since the season of Lance Bass and Cody Linley, but you can bet we will be tuning in and voting for James every week.  (And Cody.  But mostly James).  We can’t wait for his dance moves, the glittery costumes he’ll have to wear, and of course the infamous James Maslow sass.  We’re hoping James will be around for a while, so apologies in advance for all of the vote spamming we’ll be doing.

Also joining the cast?  Winnie Cooper and DJ Tanner!

The 18th season of Dancing With the Stars premieres Monday, March 17th at 8pm on ABC.

Cody Simpson – “Please Come Home for Christmas”

Leave a comment

Just in time for Christmas, Cody Simpson released a video for his version of “Please Come Home for Christmas.”  Filmed in Melbourne, Australia, the city gives a beautiful backdrop of twinkling lights.  The video also showcases Cody’s talents on the guitar.

Cody may be at home in Australia for Christmas, but he is heading out on an acoustic tour in January, with dates throughout the US and Canada.   The tour kicks off on January 10th in Santa Ana, CA with special guests Plug In Stereo, and wraps up January 31st in Denver.

We first caught Cody opening for Big Time Rush’s Summer Tour, and are excited to see even more from him in 2014!
