'X Factor' Contestants cover "Ice Ice Baby"

Posted by kurtmichael on Sunday, December 27, 2009

'X Factor' contestants including Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon got the chance to see Simon Cowell do a version of Vanilla Ice's 'Ice, Ice Baby' at the show's wrap party earlier this week.  
Simon Cowell's version of Vanilla Ice's classic rap 'Ice, Ice Baby' was a hit at the 'X Factor' wrap party on Tuesday (15.12.09).

The music mogul - who was unable to attend the party at London's Jalouse night club, as he had jetted off for his Christmas holiday - pre-recorded hi s version of the rap for the show's contestants to enjoy.

A source at the party told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "At midnight Dermot interrupted the singing and got on stage to tell everyone to look at the screen.

"Simon has no right to slate anyone's singing after hearing that.

"They were bent over laughing at the video of the crew dancing and singing around. The bash was laid on by Simon to thank all the crew and contestants for working on this year's show."

Unfortunately, contestant Danyl Johnson, 27, was unable to attend the party as he had been double booked.

The bisexual singer took to the stage in his hometown of Reading, where a special VIP party was thrown at the city's Penta Hotel in his honour.

He said: "I haven't got a free day until April, so I really wanted to do this. There was so much support for me from the people of Reading."

Despite his absence, other 'X Factor' contestants including Stacey Solomon, Olly Murs and John and Edward were at the party.

A&E Biography - Vanilla Ice

Posted by kurtmichael on Friday, June 12, 2009

Tomorrow, Friday, June 13th at 7AM/6AM CST, A&E will air the episode of "A&E Biography" about Vanilla Ice.

 

 

From the A&E Website:

"Profile of the hip-hop singer who soared to stardom, and then saw his career crash and burn just as quickly. Born Robert Van Winkle, he excelled in break dancing, and was given his famous nickname by fellow break dancers because he was white. His hit song "Ice Ice Baby" put him at the top of the charts, but he soon faltered. He was accused of being a fraud because of false statements about his past, and he was forced to share royalties with a rapper who claimed he co-wrote "Ice Ice Baby." In a fragile state, Vanilla Ice wrote a suicide note and ingested massive amounts of drugs and alcohol. He survived, and went on to find more success in a second career as a reality show star."

V IS FOR VANILLA - THE ICE MAN TURNS UP THE HEAT

Posted by kurtmichael on Thursday, April 9, 2009

from www.theage.com.au

 

THE Killers, check. Snow Patrol, check. Kaiser Chiefs, check. Razorlight, check. Vanilla Ice … come again?


The line-up was what you might call eclectic, but there was no denying Richard Branson's musical branding exercise, V Festival, had something for everyone.


Flamboyant Las Vegan rockers the Killers were the headline act, but it was '90s rapper Vanilla Ice who generated the most excitement among the 20,000 crowd of mostly 20-somethings at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds.
 

Ice (aka Robert Van Winkle) had been flown out as part of an advertising campaign by Virgin Mobile in which image took over , with baggy pants and hair cuts, pop acts were called to atone for their crimes against music.
 

Clearly all had been forgiven, if the deafening roar that erupted when he hit the stage was any indication.
Even before he began, hundreds of fans found themselves caught in a sweaty crush as more and more people tried to push their way into the auditorium for a glimpse of the rapper.
 

No one seemed more stunned at the heady fug of love than Ice himself, especially considering most in the crowd were 5 to 10 years old, when his huge hit, Ice Ice Baby, became a handbag disco anthem in 1990.
 

Friends Sarah McElholum, 20, Joanna Rodigo, 24, and Sonia Ablett, 21, squeezed their way in for what they considered a "part of pop history".
 

"Everyone knows the songs, so to say that you once saw Vanilla Ice sing Ice Ice Baby is pretty cool," Ms Rodigo yelled. ABSOLUTLY AMAZING !
