Amy Winehouse Raps -- Jewmaican Me Crazy!
Here's Amy Winehouse trying her hand at rapping -- she calls herself a "Jewmaican"... other than that, nothing in the lyrics resembles the English language.
Winehouse laid it down with her former backup singers, Zalon.
Good luck.

Whitney Houston -- Voice Cracks Are Wack
Whitney Houston sang at her first big comeback concert today for GMA. How was it? Well, she had the audience sing all the high notes for her. They did great.
As for reports Whitney cut the gig short because of a strained voice, her rep tells TMZ "She was only ever committed to two songs, so she actually extended the show to the third and fourth songs."
Will.I.Am -- No Punches, Just One Punch Drunk
The last time Will.I.Am went out, Perez Hilton allegedly got pounded -- but last night, the only guy doling out the hits was this ridiculously drunk dude, who just wouldn't stop singing.

Seacrest Out ... with Lindsay Lohan?!
Ryan Seacrest left H. Wood last night with an interesting back seat buddy -- the one and only Lindsay Lohan.
He told us he was just giving her "guidance" in her singing career -- but anyone who's ever listened to LiLo's Grammy-worthy "Confessions of a Broken Heart" clearly knows she doesn't need that.

Who Can Turn the World On with Her Singing?
It's been 32 years since "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" -- but Mary herself still knows every word to the show's theme song ... and yesterday in D.C., the 72-year-old sang the entire thing -- but what's the deal with the hat?

Now Casting -- OctoMom: The Musical!
Do you bear a striking resemblance to a certain mother of 14? Do you have an extensive background in musical theater and improv? Have you given up on any hopes of an actual career? Then maybe you could star in a new OctoMom musical!
Described as "a fast-paced triptych musical parody" the OctoMusical is looking for someone who is "funny" and "whimsical" and can "command authority." Ability to contain eight fetuses within your womb at once is not required.
The musical is set to open at a small theater in Los Angeles called Bang sometime in June.

Beyonce's Dad Was Right -- Hoax, Hoax, Hoax!!!
Beyonce has officially been cleared of all bad singing charges -- the atrocious supposed "board mix" of her performance on "The Today Show" last year was altered after all.
Just as Mathew Knowles told us, the audio clip that many people believed was leaked from "Today" was indeed a fake.
In fact, TMZ found the person behind the prank who was surprised it went as far as it did, saying, "It's a little bit crazy. No one in their right mind would sound like that, and no one would cheer for someone singing like that."
Apparently, the dude never went to an Ashlee Simpson concert...

Beyonce's Daddy to Haters: You're All Idiots
Beyonce's dad is on the warpath against the people attacking his daughter for the supposed "board mix" audio of B singing at "The Today Show" -- claiming all doubters of her ability are "idiots."
In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who's also Bey's manager, says his daughter was set up. It's one of the best statements we've ever gotten.
"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.
If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing 'America the Beautiful' and 'At Last' at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce's vocal ability, they've gotta be an idiot.
At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.
That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."

Sam Serenades LiLo -- You're Out of Control!!
Samantha Ronson dedicated a song to Lindsay last night -- a song that was very telling about their volatile relationship.
During the acoustic concert at Genghis Cohen in L.A., Sam got "awwwws" from the crowd when she told 'em "This is for Lindsay," but the song included lyrics like "I'll follow you out of control ... I'm falling after you, in and out of love." In her dedication Sam also said, "You get your heart broken sometimes and then you unbreak it and break it again."
Linds was there -- sitting front row with a digital camera -- and said the song made her mad. Fight 3,173 on the way?

Ashlee Simpson Gives Singing a Shot
Stop the presses! Ashlee Simpson left her karaoke machine at home last night for a performance at LAX Nightclub at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas -- finally unleashing her stellar vocals on a live audience. Take that, Paula!
Her creepy father, Joe, and bassist boyfriend Pete Wentz were there to support her -- as she traveled through the undiscovered realm of not faking it.
At least she tried.

Boogie Wonderland
Maybe you can sing or maybe you can dance. Can you do both at the same time?
The new EA game, Boogie, gives you a chance to show your friends that you can do both. Using Nintendo Wii's innovative controllers, you shake and move to the rhythm -- while singing along with the included microphone.
Versions of hit songs by The Jackson 5, Kool & the Gang, M.C. Hammer and our favorite TMZ train wreck, Britney Spears, will make your karaoke parties dance-tastic.
Practice, and perhaps you too can be a hit at the VMAs!

Antonella's National Anthem?
Antonella Barba, the wannabeen "American Idol" with the racy pics, was recorded while "singing" the Star Spangled Banner at an event that seems to be a high school homecoming or junior high graduation -- which she then posted on her MySpace music page. Rollover Francis Scott Key!
Either nerves got to the winged songbird, or she wasn't sure which country's anthem she was singing -- because when Barba didn't quite know the words, like any pro, she just made 'em up! Genius!
Her mistakes were minor ... like changing "through the 
perilous fight" into "ooh the perilous fight," and "bombs bursting in air" to "bombs bursting in there." In where, gurl?! Every song should end on a good note -- although she might not have gotten that memo. Ant ends with "O'er the land of the free, IN the home of the brave!" Classic! Keep those hits coming!
