Mya Is Only Releasing Her Album In Japan! I Guess She Wants To Sell!

Mya is not going to release her album here in the United States. It is only available in Japan. I guess she didn't want to waste her money & time trying to sell here. Anyway, I thought I'd post the video to her first single "Paradise". She gets props for holding on to her career this long even though I'm not a fan. Because it certainly is hard to maintain your place in the music business.I hope she sells this time.

Wyclef Jean Is Facing Foreclosure On A Home In Florida!

The Fugees were a very successful group. After the group disbanded,Lauryn Hill became a musical sensation & Wyclef Jean had some hits. I just assumed that he had accumulated plenty of money from all of his accomplishments. But, I guess he doesn't have enough to salvage this real estate project that he was involved in. Now, he & the other investors have been foreclosed on. Here's the link for more on this story:

I like Wyclef Jean because he really is shining a light on the dire situations that continuously plague Haiti. He is an artist that cares about more than just himself. Watch this interview with him because it's very insightful.
