I hated it. I thought it had been really harshly edited but actually they were very kind to me.”I knew I wasn’t the best singer in the world and so I had to stand out in some way and that was my way of doing it.”The former Britney Spears impersonator was in the bottom two last week, but beat Sami Brookes to be saved by the judges, and she has revealed she is unlikely to keep changing her look and style every week as it would be boring.She added: “There’s absolutely no way I’ll be coming out and saying this is the new me this week. how boring.

是国际嘻哈音乐天王
也是LADY GAGA老板和伯乐
对于领先全球流行音乐领域的当红艺人,中国市场反应多少是有些慢热的。当年美国流行天后碧昂斯已经在全球热不可挡时,她的国内演唱会也曾让内地媒体费了不少心思地广而告之直到观众顿悟大掏腰包,最后爆到现场黄牛都四处讨票。这次,被誉为嘻哈音乐天王、共获得过6次格莱美奖提名,于Billboard Hot 100中拥有130首客串歌曲及18首单曲的纪录,更是唯一一个能同时占据两次Billboard Hot 100第一及第二位的阿肯(Akon),风头绝不亚于前者,其身兼歌手、制作人的同时,还是当今最红艺人Lady Gaga现在所属经纪公司KonLive的老板。阿肯定于11月首次来华开演唱会,并于11月7日登陆广州体育馆,欲变演唱会现场为最HIGH夜店,与歌迷共度潮爆时分。
阿肯是Lady Gaga所在签约公司的创始人和老板
基于内地观众多数对欧美流行音乐慢热的原理,提到阿肯(Akon)这个名字,目前可能也不为多数内地观众所熟悉,知道的也许还是从他和潘玮柏合唱的《Be with You》那首歌中认识的。但当年潘玮柏选择和阿肯合作,除了阿肯的才华,更是欲贴点阿肯的名气。一旦你听到他的成名曲《Mr.lonely》、《Right Now》、《Beautiful》、《Smack That》等那些混搭蓝调、说唱等各种曲风的旋律,一定十分耳熟,可以不夸张的说:没有任何一个英文电台没有播放过他的音乐。
共获得过6次格莱美奖提名,于Billboard Hot 100中拥有130首客串歌曲及18首单曲的纪录,更是唯一一个能同时占据两次Billboard Hot 100第一及第二位阿肯,还曾几度与离世天王迈克尔杰克逊多次合作。除了公开发表过的《Wanna Be Starting something 2008》和《hold my hand》之外,还有多个没公开的未成品。他与迈克尔杰克逊合作时,迈克尔杰克逊几度当面夸他的嗓音非常好。2010南非世界杯时阿肯还被邀请与女歌手凯莉希尔森联手献唱的主题曲之一《Oh,Africa》(加油非洲) 并担任世界杯的音乐指导。
除了音乐上的成就,他还于2004年创立了自己的音乐公司Konvict Muzik和自己的服装品牌。以R&B Hip-Hop音乐类型为主打的Konvict Muzik公司,现在已经非常壮大。现在的各大排行榜中你都可以在名列前茅的位置上轻易的找到被打上“Konvict Muzik出品”烙印的音乐。天才阿肯利用他的技术、天赋及影响力打造着一首一首的冠军级单曲。
目前为止Konvict Muzik厂牌旗下的艺人除了耳熟能详的T-Pain,Lyfe Jennings, American Yard ,Brick & Lace,Kardinal Offishall及刚刚签下的Jason Miller等数十人外,最当红的当属Lady Gaga。2007年,Lady Gaga被自己所在的唱片公司放弃,阿肯独具慧眼,将其签到了自己KonLive名下。如今,Lady Gaga所取得的出色成绩已超出了阿肯的预料,在采访中他更是提到为Gaga而骄傲,有了Gaga,他不用出唱片也有足够的钱提前退休了。
