			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>X Factor has produced a mixed bag of winners in the past. Some have been truly talented whereas others have merely been overexcited pub singers. </p>
<p>But now, Sting has shown his disapproval of Simon Cowell’s beloved talent show by saying that his show is full of karaoke singers. Sting has said that the talent show has put music back decades. He also said that the judges on the programme are more interested in their own careers than their artists’ and that they have no real talent. </p>
<p>Sting concluded his attack on Simon Cowell by stating that singers should learn their trade the old fashioned way; by singing in pubs and clubs. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MSN Music has added free music streaming to its services. But there have been a few teething problems with the service. It only works in your browser if it’s Internet Explorer or Firefox and only on a PC. If you have a Mac, then you won’t be able to use it. </p>
<p>If you’re using it with Firefox 2 there is also an additional problem in that you have to install a Windows Media player plug-in. This means that if you use Mozilla’s browser at work, you may not be able to use the application. And this was one of the reasons that people were so excited about MSN music – because it was an alternative to Spotify at work. </p>
<p>Perhaps MSN are planning to update their music application. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a few weeks of controversy and drama within the group with leaks in the papers that Amelle was leaving the group after a bust up and was to be replaced by Jade Ewen an unusual turn of events has now occurred.</p>
<p>It was reported by Keisha herself on her Twitter page that she has left. But she states it wasn&#8217;t her choice to leave.</p>
<p>Making people think that she was forced to leave by management after many people have said she is a bully. It’s not the end for Keisha who has been offered a solo recording contract but will be interesting to see how things work out.</p>
<p>May be its time for the current band to re-name with the last original member finally leaving crnt really use the same name can they?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rap star Kanye West has said sorry for interrupting the acceptance speech of singer Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in New York.</p>
<p>The musician stormed the stage to tell the audience Beyonce should have won best female video prize.</p>
<p>Now that was a harsh thing to do if you ask me and then again who asked for his opinion because I no one else did,</p>
<p>West wanted to take the opportunity to speak to the public. Saying his day had been “extremely difficult,” West acknowledged he had spent the afternoon “dealing with the fact that I hurt someone or took anything away from a talented artist.”</p>
<p>Kanye has worked none stop since his mother died and many are thinking that this is the backlash and that he should take some time out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the world’s most prestigious music ceremonies, the MOBO Awards, will be held outside of London for the first time this year and will be staged at Glasgow’s Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre  on September 30th 2009.</p>
<p>Hosting the iconic awards will see Scotland welcome an entourage of A-List musicians and celebrities as well as thousands of music fans and will reinforce Glasgow’s reputation as a world class destination for hosting music events and emphasise its status as an UNESCO City of Music.</p>
<p>Organizers are sure to be making every effort to attract major stars to an event that often lacks the big hitters.</p>
