After an interesting season of The X Factor Australia fifteen year old Marlisa was quite surprisingly crowned the winner of the Reality TV Show juggernaut.

Being in the music industry for 10 years Ricki-Lee decided to take a different approach when it came to creating her fourth studio album.

LIVE REVIEW: Miley Cyrus – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Love her or hate her there is no denying that Miley Cyrus puts on a killer live show. From the opening sequence where she slides down a tongue slide singing the infectious “SMS (Bangers)” she had the whole Brisbane arena in awe. The setlist for the evening was her whole “Bangerz” album (minus one song),…

Jessie J is one of the industry’s strongest vocalist and her third studio album “Sweet Talker” proves that.
