Jesse McCartney along with OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder co-wrote Bleeding Love, a song that has become a top hit. Jesse McCartney has recorded his own R&B version of the song. Take a listen and compare. Which one do you like better? Do you think it would be just a big a hit as Leona’s version?  

 For O’Neal McKnight’s new single, Check Your Coat, P. Diddy is rapping and is calling himself Puff Daddy once again according to reports on Yahoo.com. There is a lot of confusion as to what name Sean P. Diddy Combs will be using once again. According to reports that a cuff-link seller, Cuff-Daddy.com too close resembles Puff Daddy or if he’ll be able to use P. Diddy in England because that name resembles a record producer that goes by the name Richard Diddy Dearlove. Whatever the name Sean Combs decides to use I don’t think it’ll surprise us. With so many changes, he’ll always just be Puffy to me.

Check out the new video Summertime by NKOTB. Not too bad for a ‘comeback’ song. I wish there would’ve been more dancing to the song. So I guess you can say my favorite part was towards the end when they danced and did the old Hangin’ Tough wave moving their arms from side to side that brought back memories.
