Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Caroline Beckham (born as Adams, April 17th 1974-) is a British singer, originally in the girl band the Spice Girls, where she was known as Posh Spice.

She was born in the county of Herefordshire as Victoria Adams.

Adams married the ex-Manchester United and present England footballer David Beckham, on July 4, 1999, with whom she has two sons, Brooklyn, born March 4, 1999, and Romeo, born September 1, 2002. The couple is expecting a third child in March 2005.

An alleged plot to kidnap Victoria on November 1, 2002, was revealed by the News of the World. The court case against the alleged kidnappers collapsed after the original informant admitted that he "made the whole thing up".

Her attempts at a music career have been mixed, despite being one of the biggest celebrities in Britain, she has failed to convert that into chart success. She is the only Spice Girl not to have had a UK number one as a solo artist. She fought unsuccessful chart battles for the top spot with Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor in 2000 and Kylie Minogue in 2001. Her debut album made number 10 in the UK.

In 2003 she became involved with controversial Rap music producer Damon Dash to reignite her career. Beckham also became a model for Roc-A-Wear clothing along with Naomi Campbell.

In 2004 her happy image suffered when a string of women lined up to claim having had affairs with David, including Rebecca Loos, which were not fully denied, but she has been seen to Stand by Her Man.

The Mirror reports October 20th, 2004 on Victoria's new fashion lines and how she is scared of another failed music project. Also in the article is a quote from Victoria's spokesman about the new career focus: "This is the start of a new phase in Victoria's career, combining two things she loves - business and fashion. She's going to be more behind the scenes, but she is very excited." She recently designed jeans for Roc & Republic clothing.

Learning to Fly

Victoria Beckham wrote an autobiographical book called Learning to Fly. In it, amongst other things, she detailed the first incident of the football chant Posh Spice Takes it Up the Arse being sung by the opposing fans at a Manchester United game. The fans chanted this when David Beckham gained possession of the ball.

Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams

Robert Peter Williams (born February 13, 1974 in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire) is a British pop singer. Originally a member of boy band Take That, he split from the group in 1995 and launched a solo career, following a highly publicized battle with drug and alcohol addiction during which he put on nearly 40 pounds (18 kg) and was often seen in public poorly dressed, dirty and unshaven.

Solo career

Before his rising as a superstar, Robbie used to hang in 1996 with the Gallagher brothers - Noel and Liam of then-famous Britpop stars Oasis. Robbie expected to get some Noel-written songs so he can start a career. After few months with cocaine-fueled parties, the loud-mouthed brothers showed him the door.

In 1996 he released his first solo single "Freedom", a cover of the 1990 George Michael hit. Though this was a sucess it was not until the release of the single "Angels" that his solo career took off in Europe. Although it reached number one in many countries, it only managed to get to number four in the official UK singles chart in December 1997 – he would have to wait until September 19, 1998 for his first number one with "Millennium". He quickly became a major celebrity in the UK with numerous top ten singles. In 1999 he collaberated with singer Tom Jones for a track on the album Reload.

He broke the United States in 2000 with his hit song "Rock DJ". The video featured Williams in a roller-disco as he stripped nude and then proceeded to strip off his own flesh, muscle tissue and organs until he was a dancing skeleton. It is said that the frontal nudity was edited out in the US while the gore was left in, whereas the opposite was true for the UK. The video's ending was cut by many TV stations around the world and the whole video was forbidden in some countries (VH1 Europe even made their own video out of recording studio footage). Williams has built quite a reputation for appearing nude (or nearly nude) in photographs, videos and live performances.

His United States and global success was cemented after a duet cover version of the Frank and Nancy Sinatra song "Somethin' Stupid" with Australian actress Nicole Kidman, who was fresh off of her Oscar-nomnated performance in Moulin Rouge. In 2002 he released an album called Swing When You're Winning in which his image was tamed down and he sang jazz, blues and pop standards from the fifties.

In 2002 he stopped working with his long-term writing partner Guy Chambers, who had co-written most of his singles. However, they regrouped again after six months during the making of his next album, Escapology, which was released in late 2002. The first single from it, "Feel", had big success arround Europe. The video for the next single, "Come Undone", featured Williams having sex at a party (actually with his pants on), and also images of insects and reptiles. Therefore a censored version was released that MTV Networks Europe chose to edit a little more and to play it only to the half.

Williams appears in the 2002 List of the "100 Greatest Britons" (sponsored by the BBC and voted for by the public). He toured Australia and New Zealand in December of 2003 with Duran Duran and performed the title song for the movie Johnny English. An official biography, "Feel", has become an instant bestseller in the UK since its publication in September 2004. Williams currently lives in Los Angeles.

His Greatest Hits album was released on 18th October, 2004. The first new single to be taken from the album was called "Radio", which went straight to number one, selling just over 40,000 copies in the first week. The other new track on the album is called "Misunderstood" and is due for release in December 2004. Its video is already available on some music channels. It will be featured on the soundtrack to Bridget Jones's Diary 2.

Peter Andre

Peter Andre

Peter Andre (birth name: Peter James Andréa) is a male singer born in the UK, but was raised in Australia, and is of Cypriot decent. The UK is where he's finding the most success. At first he was on the Australian soap opera Neighbours before turning to music, the show spawning many other actor/actress turned singers such as Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Valance and Delta Goodrem.

In the UK he began his music career in 1996, first having a top 20 single called "Only One", reaching number #16, but then gained massive success with the song "Mysterious Girl" (featuring Bubbler Ranx), reaching #2 in the UK singles chart. He then had a #1 album "Natural", and two #1 singles "Flava" and "I Feel You". However, after attempting to transform in to an R&B artist rather than a pop artist, and releasing a few more singles, he didn't have as much success as previously, with his second album, "Time", only reaching #28. In 1998 he released his last single (that was "Kiss The Girl" which reached #9, his last top 10 hit for a couple of years, and it was on the soundtrack to Disney's The Little Mermaid) before taking a long break from the charts.

During this break, he went back to his birthtown of Cyprus, and no one had heard from him until very recently, being on the British reality TV series I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, and flirting with model Jordan. He then re-released his breakthrough hit "Mysterious Girl" in 2004, finally reaching #1 after 8 long years since the original breakthrough release of the song (it had actually been released once before the breakthrough, but with very little success reaching #53 in 1995 without the rapping of Bubbler Ranx). It had also been 6 years since his last chart appearance. To prove the song, his success and his attempts to resurrect a music career were not a one hit wonder this time around, he released a new song "Insania", which was another big hit, reaching #3 in the UK in June 2004. A new album, titled "The Long Road Back", was also released that month, however only reaching #44.

Nelly

Nelly

Nelly (born November 2, 1978) is a rapper. Born Cornell Haynes Jr. in University City, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, he first came to mainstream audiences with Country Grammar (2000) and released Free City with his St. Louis crew the St. Lunatics in 2001. Country Grammar turned out to become a mainstream success that set the stage for his breakthrough album, Nellyville.

Nellyville established him as one of the most famous rappers in the early 2000s, with an image of being equal parts handsome boy-next-door and tough gangsta. From the beginnings of his pop career, the lyrics of "Country Grammar" explored this dichotomy, posing the question: "Who says pretty boys can't be wild niggaz?" and containing references to gun violence and drug use while also sending shoutouts to billionaires Bill Gates and Donald Trump.

The 2002 single "Hot in Herre" (see also quote in Nudity) was also tremendously popular, as was its follow-up, "Dilemma," which featured vocals by Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child.

In early 2003, Nelly released the controversial single, "Air Force Ones". MTV, MTV2, and VH1 refused to air the video due to product placement for the popular sneakers of the same name. Their sister station, BET, however, played it.

On September 14, 2004, Nelly released two albums, "Sweat" and "Suit." "Suit," an R&B-oriented album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart and "Sweat," a rap-oriented album, debuted at #2. From the "Sweat" album, the slow ballad "Over and Over", an unlikely pairing with country music performer Tim McGraw, became another crossover hit. Nelly performed the song with McGraw on the latter's CBS Television concert special in 2004.

Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill (born May 26, 1975) is an American hip hop singer, initially establishing her reputation as the most visible and vocal member of The Fugees. She was born in South Orange, New Jersey and began singing and acting at a very young age. Her acting roles included the TV show As the World Turns (as "Kira Johnson" in 1991), and the film Sister Act II: Back in the Habit, the latter of which showcased her vocal abilities. Though the Fugees had originally formed in 1988, Hill's membership was disrupted by her acting and her education at Columbia University. The Fugees' first album, Blunted on Reality, was much-hyped but fell far short of expectations. This was followed by The Score, a multi-platinum selling album that established all three Fugees (Hill, Pras Michel and Wyclef Jean) as international successes.

Hill's other acting work includes the television series "King of the Hill" (as "Arletta the Elevator Operator"), the play "Club 127," and the motion pictures Hav Plenty (1997) and Restaurant (1998). She appeared as a singer in the soundtracks for Conspiracy Theory in 1997 on the track, "Can't take My Eyes Off of You," and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood in 2001 on the "Selah" track.

In 1998, Hill released The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, a critical smash hit that ended up on numerous best-of lists for the year, decade and all time. Among the singles on the album was "Doo Wop (That Thing)." In 1999's Grammy Awards, Hill was nominated eleven times and won Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, Best R&B Album, setting a new record for a female performer. The album's title was inspired by Carter G. Woodson's book, The Miseducation of the Negro.

Soon after, Hill and her recording company were sued by Vada Nobles, Rasheem Pugh, Johari Newton and Tejumold Newton, known as "New Ark Entertainment," who claimed to have been denied full credit and compensation for their assistance on the album. They received an undisclosed amount of money and were given credit for drum programming and a small amount of lyrical, instrumental and production work.

Hill is noted as a humanitarian, and in 1996 she received an Essence Award for work which has included the 1996 founding of the Refugee Project, an outreach organization that supports a two-week overnight camp for at-risk youth, and for supporting well-building projects in Kenya and Uganda, as well as for staging a rap concert in Harlem to promote voter registration. In 1999 Hill received three awards at the 30th Annual NAACP Image Awards held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California. She was named with Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. and others among the "10 For Tomorrow," in the EBONY 2000: Special Millennium Issue. In 1999 Ebony magazine named her one of "100+ Most Influential Black Americans."

In 1996, a call to the Howard Stern radio show stated that the caller heard Hill say "I would rather die than have a white person buy one of my albums" during an MTV interview. This is considered unlikely, however, as no recording could be found of the supposed incident.

Though a Fugees reunion was discussed by all of the members of the group, it has not yet happened, reportedly due to conflicts between the three Fugees, including a much-rumored feud between Hill and Wyclef Jean. Hill released an MTV Unplugged album laced with verbal interludes in 2002 to mixed reviews.

On December 13, 2003, Hill shocked officials at the Vatican by denouncing them for "corruption, exploitation, and abuses," apparently in reference to allegations of the child molestation of boys by Catholic officials in the United States of America and the cover-up of offenses by Catholic Church officials. Among those in attendance were Edmund Cardinal Szoka, American-born President of the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City, and President of the Governatorate of Vatican City. Two days later Pope John Paul II told a group of Bishops from Sudan that, "Scandalous behavior must at all times be investigated, confronted and corrected" in the Catholic Church.

Hill has four children by her husband, retired (American) football player Rohan Marley, son of the late reggae artist, Bob Marley: Zion David Marley, born 1997, Selah Louise Marley, born 1998, and second son Joshua, born 2002. A fourth child was born in 2003.

Hill's nickname is "L-boogie."

The three Fugees were reunited on September 18, 2004 at Dave Chappelle's Block Party in Brooklyn, New York. They headlined a bill that included a star-studded cast of who's who in hip hop, including Kanye West, Common, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and others.

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Ann Minogue (born May 28, 1968) is an Australian singer and actress who has been based primarily in the United Kingdom since the early 1990s.

Her recording career has been marked by periods of outstanding success and comparative failure. Despite criticism, particularly in the early stages of her career, she has evolved her musical and visual style to attain longevity in the competitive field of pop music. As she has matured from a teenager into an adult, she has become one of her generation's most recognisable celebrities and sex symbols. In many parts of the world, she is known simply as Kylie.

Early life and Neighbours

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Minogue is the eldest of three children. Her sister Dannii Minogue is also a pop singer. Her brother, Brendan, is a camera man. Minogue first came to attention as a child actor in Australian soap operas, making her acting debut at the age of 11. She appeared in "Skyways", Young Talent Time, The Sullivans and The Henderson Kids, before rising to prominence in 1986 with her role in the Australian soap opera Neighbours.

On Neighbours, Minogue played the character of Charlene Mitchell, a tomboy who rebelled at every opportunity, and who fell in love with the boy next door, Scott Robinson, played by Jason Donovan (who she worked with as a child on "Skyways"). The storylines featuring the young couple proved popular with viewers, and both Minogue and Donovan were drawn into the public spotlight, becoming recognisable celebrities for the first time in their respective careers. A record audience watched the episode featuring Scott and Charlene's wedding in 1987.

Minogue's personal popularity in Australia eclipsed that of other cast members, and to a degree that of the program itself. She was the recipient of a Gold Logie Award, as the nation's most popular television performer, with the result determined by public vote. The program began screening in the United Kingdom in 1987 and was highly successful. As in Australia, Minogue was considered to be one of the program's most popular and charismatic performers. She left the series in 1988 to concentrate on her music career.

Trivia
In Australia, Minogue has achieved 9 number one singles – more than any other Australian recording artist.
Minogue has cited Olivia Newton-John as her first major influence. She recorded a cover version of Newton-John's hit "Physical" for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack, however the song was not included. It can be found as a bonus track on the Australian tour edition of "Light Years" and she performed it during the tour of the same name.
Early in her recording career, Madonna became her acknowledged role model. Madonna returned the compliment by wearing a "Kylie Minogue" shirt during a performance at the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards. In the United Kingdom, Minogue and Madonna are the only female artists to achieve number one singles in the 1980s, the 1990s and 2000s. Madonna is the only female performer to surpass Minogue's (As of 2004) tally of 27 British Top 10 singles. Madonna also sent Minogue a demo song to record called "Alone Again" that she co-wrote with Rick Nowels. Minogue's version however remains unreleased. See Unreleased Madonna songs.
In 1995, Minogue recited the lyrics to one of her biggest hits "I Should Be So Lucky" as poetry in London's Royal Albert Hall "Poetry Jam", at the suggestion of Nick Cave.
Minogue's Madame Tussaud's waxwork has been regularly updated to represent her changing image. In 2002, a figure of Minogue wearing lingerie and in a provocative pose, attracted both praise and condemnation, but became one of Tussaud's most discussed figures.
The success of her single "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" was enhanced when Minogue performed an unauthorised version of the song, which blended it with the music track of New Order's "Blue Monday", at the Brit Awards. Its popularity led to an authorised version being recorded and released as the "B" side for her single "Love At First Sight".
Minogue's portrait hangs in the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.
Minogue has been featured on an Australian postage stamp.
Paul Morley's study of the evolution of pop music, Words And Music: A History Of Pop In The Shape Of A City, employs Minogue as the vehicle by which pop is explored.
Minogue now has her own line of lingerie available in Australia and the UK called "Love Kylie".
In 2002, Q magazine named Minogue in their list of the "50 Bands To See Before You Die".

Kate Bush

Kate Bush (born Catherine Bush on July 30, 1958 in Bexleyheath, Kent, England) is a British singer-songwriter who has acquired a large number of extremely devoted fans since her debut in 1978 with the surprise hit "Wuthering Heights," which was number 1 in the British music charts for 4 weeks.

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was largely responsible for bringing her to prominence, funding her first demo sessions and attracting the interest of the Floyd's record company, EMI. They have since worked together on occasional projects and in concert.

While her range of styles does not appeal to everyone, Bush is nevertheless widely respected by many musicians, and has been noted as an influence and inspiration by artists as diverse as Jewel, Tori Amos, Björk, Paula Cole, Sinead O'Connor, Pat Benatar, Happy Rhodes, The Utah Saints, Andre 3000 of OutKast and others. The trip hop artist Tricky has stated her work has been a significant influence on him and that she should be treasured more than the Beatles. Though many outside of Europe remain unfamiliar with her work and its profound intensity, others in her profession are also unreluctant to declare her works as those of great genius. Even the iconoclastic punk rocker John Lydon (Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols) has declared her work to be "fucking brilliant" and has labelled her "a true original".

Even in her earliest works where the piano was a primary instrument, she weaved together many diverse influences, melding classical music, rock, and a wide range of ethnic and folk sources, to produce a uniquely impressive amalgalm, and this has continued throughout her career. More than one reviewer has used the term surreal to describe much of her music, for many of the songs have a melodramatic emotional and musical surrealism that defies easy categorization. It has been observed that even the more joyous of the pieces is often tinged with traces of melancholy, and even the most sorrowful have elements of a unique vitality struggling against all that would oppress it. The unapologetic use of her voice as an instrument to convey a broad range of emotional intensity and subtlety is one thing that characterizes nearly all that she does.

Kate Bush has tackled sensitive and taboo subjects long before it has become fashionable to do so. Moving discusses female orgasm; Kashka From Baghdad is a song about a happy gay male couple oblivious to the world's prejudice around them; Breathing explores the results of nuclear fallout.

She has worked with Peter Gabriel on two of his albums, most notably on the hits Games Without Frontiers and Don't Give Up, (the latter a duet); and his appearance on her 1979 television special. Their duet of Roy Harper's Another Day was discussed for release as a single, but this never came to pass. Harper is another frequent collaborator, appearing on her song Breathing and her on his albums HQ and Once (both also featuring Gilmour).

She has appeared in duets with Midge Ure, Big Country and others on their albums. A wide diversity of respected artists have worked with her on some of her more recent albums ranging from the rock guitarist Jeff Beck, the classical guitarist John Williams, the folk artists The Trio Bulgarka, and Prince.

Bush's only tour took place in early 1979 (April 3 - May 10 see details below), after which she she gave only the occasional live performance. A number of reasons have been suggested as to why she abandoned touring among them a rumour of a crippling fear of flying, and the suggestion that the death of 21 year old Bill Duffield, severely affected her. Duffield, her lighting director, was killed in a accident during her April 20 concert at The London Palladium when he fell twenty feet through an open trap door on the stage. Bush held a benefit concert on 12 May, with Peter Gabriel and Steve Harley at London’s Hammersmith Odeon for his family. It was this benefit that was recorded and is the only record of Bush's live performance.

In 1993, Bush directed and starred in the short film, The Line, The Cross and The Curve, a musical co-starring Miranda Richardson and featuring music from Bush's album The Red Shoes (which in turn was inspired by the classic movie The Red Shoes.

Bush dropped out of the public eye in the late 1990s, though her name occasionally cropped up in the media in connection with rumours of a new album release. There were also reports that she had suffered a nervous breakdown and that she had had a child (the latter was confirmed by her in a recent interview).

She has confirmed that she is at work on a new album, with the title of one track "How to be Invisible" having been discussed on at least one of her fan Web sites. She was reportedly recording tracks as recently as November 2003 at Abbey Road Studios, but as of fall 2004 no release date for a new album has been announced, more than a decade after her last recordings were released.

"Kate Bush" is also a character in Victory Gundam, one of the five (of the six) original members of the Shrike Team who were named in homage to famous 20th century female singers.
