Cody Simpson, A Popular Import

It is out of the question Cody Simpson could someday lose his Australian accent - the pop star 14 years has left Australia in June 2010 and now resides in Los Angeles, after all. However, Simpson will do everything possible to prevent this from happening, and his reasoning has little to do with the pride of Australia.

"And 'my biggest advantage with the girls," Simpson said, hours before performing in front of 1,100 screaming fans in the Orland Square Mall in Orland Park on Friday. "I'm going to try to keep my accent as much as they can."

The benefits do not stop there. In addition to singing, Simpson - plays guitar and seems to be a decent dancer - who has not released a full length album, but has 1.2 million followers on Twitter.

He had little choice with it. "When I came to the United States, (my label) said, 'You have to dance," said Simpson.

Simpson is currently working with a choreographer in addition to singing lessons, which started six months ago. He said very little voice training when he found on YouTube by the record producer Shawn Campbell and initially doubted that he was ready to become a singer.

 

"I said," If I have improved? "I had not had a lot of experience out loud before," said Simpson, who was a promising swimmer with Olympic aspirations achieved. "But apparently it worked."

Simpson has worked with rapper Flo Rida's first single, "iYiYi" in May 2010. They release a new EP, "Coast to Coast", which promotes the current mall tour, September 20 and expects its long-term studio album will hit stores the next year.

"It was really crazy," said Simpson of the trip. "There has been increasing all the malls we go. He was like 4000-5000 people at the mall in Detroit. "

Simpson has learned to expect the unexpected when it comes to its growing fan base ("You'll be walking and they come out of nowhere," he said) and he was forced to adapt their shrill cry - not that he complained.

"I'm ear to follow to avoid external noise when I'm performing," Simpson said. "It 's easier. But sometimes I want to take your ear and listen to the monitor to go crazy.

"It all started to take off in recent months, so this is all new to me."

Katy Perry Linda Composer Music "shit" Perry Calls

Warriors words. The songwriter Linda Perry, who wrote hits for Christina Aguilera, Pink and Gwen Stefani, can share the same surname with Katy Perry (Katy despite being the stage name), but that's where the similarities end. In an interview backstage at the Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, er rip let Linda, attacking the music of Perry and labeling it "junk." Ouch.

When asked how the industry has changed, Linda said. "It's just different" She will say, though not a big fan of Adele '21 best-seller, "I think it is a strong case." This is the sale, right? This means that people are still buying records. "But the problem that undermines a" solid "register as '21 'is shit'" according to the opinions of Linda.

She asks, "Who wants to f-ing record Katy Perry. Two songs are good, but the rest of the album is shit. It will be as-s who cares about the purchase of this disc. People now download the single and it is. "

Well, we appreciate the right to feel how Linda does, there are some holes in his argument that we wish to highlight. First, was in a band in the 90's called 4 Non Blondes, who had a stroke, "What's up, and that was it. Of course, Linda was writing hits like Xtina is" beautiful " and Stefani "What You Waiting For", but ignores the fact that Katy had five No. 1 singles from his latest album "Teenage Dream," which pushed sales. It's more than one or two songs, referred to above. Perry set a record, then there must be something, right?

Linda Katy only pay a little further, saying: "I'm not saying that Katy is bad. It is ideal for this

It does, but it is not to reinvent the wheel or give substance. "She compared the music to Katy" popcorn for you to eat right now. That's what she wants to do naturally not want to change the musical world, all power to her. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not that I participate in. But that's part of why the music industry is in turmoil. "

We will go on a limb here and say that Linda Perry will not be asked to write some songs for the monitoring of "Teenage Dream". Or maybe the whole of its overall plan to write something other than what is popcorn Sonic Perry.
