VIDEO FAB: Common's "Celebrate"+ Kelly Rowland Sings "White Christmas" With Michael Bublé

Common just dropped his brand new video off his new album "The Dreamer, The Believer." Check out "Celebrate" and Common's celeb friends making cameos inside, plus Kelly Rowland teaming up with Michael Bublé for a "White Christmas" in he UK...

In his new Phil The God directed vid, Common celebrates life, love, and friends for the appropriately titled "Celebrate."   The track was produced by No I.D.--which may explain why it has a Kanye (who collabos with No I.D. often) "Good Life" esque feel.

In the clip for the feel good track, you see friends (Tyga and Ludacris make cameos) celebrating the return of their soldier friend, New Year's Eve, and more.  Check it.  The album drops tomorrow.

 

BONUS: The esteemed Maya Angelou is none to pleased with Mr. Common.  She recites a poem on his The Dreamer, The Believer album. But she wasn't happy about him using the N-word throughout the album and the particular track she appears on.  The NY Post quotes Ms. Angelou saying:

“I had no idea that Common was using the piece we had done together on [a track] in which he also used the ‘N’ word numerous times. I’m surprised and disappointed. I don’t know why he chose to do that. I had never heard him use that [word] before. I admired him so because he wasn’t singing the line of least resistance.”

Common responded:

“I told her what ‘The Dreamer’ was about and what I wanted to get across to people. I wanted young people to hear this and feel like they could really accomplish their dreams.”

Well...

And the fabulousness that is Kelly Rowland taped an ITV Christmas special segment with Michael Bublé (whose Christmas album is great by the way).  It aired this weekend in the UK.  Check out Kelly and Michael belting out "White Christmas."  Loves it.

If you've heard one Common

If you've heard one Common song you've heard them all. He's needs to switch his flow up, and his music all together. something more aggressive enough with the pseudo jazz.

Kelly always sounded good

Kelly always sounded good this performance is no surprise to me. The difference here is she isn't doing all the gyrating. She needs to stand still and just flat foot SING! That's what the fans love!

Kelly is popular enough in

Kelly is popular enough in the UK, but she's most definitely not regarded as a superstar. Appearing on the x factor UK raised her profile, but I'm not sure if it was such a good move as it didn't help her album and the Brits don't really appreciate things they can't identify with. Having said that, she sounded good on this duet.

No, don't you get it twisted!

No, don't you get it twisted! Kelly was the 1st member from DC to have International success with her album Simply Deep back in 2002. It was well received in Europe b4 Beyonce became a solo act. & stop frontin u r not from the UK! U aint foolin nobody but YOURSELF! U aint nobody but a Bey stan/hater! I don't know why her fans hate the fact that Kelly is finally standing on her own. Everyone should be really proud of her! Stop the hate sweetie! Stop it!!!

Kelly is a Mega Star in the

Kelly is a Mega Star in the UK and across Europe. The reality Europeans and British people appreciate REAL music...whereas in the US we appreciate and recognize trends, hype, PR, and JUST beauty. Kelly Rowland is in a better place in the UK. Plus they spend more money while we pirate our music....so I know she is getting paid.
