OMARION DROPPED FROM RECORD LABEL - Singer Omarion is no longer on Columbia Records. A source at the label confirmed to the BV Buzz that the Sony imprint decided to drop the former B2K lead singer. Omarion (real name: Omari Ishmael Grandberry) signed as a solo artist to Columbia Records after B2K broke up in December 2003. His boy band was actually signed to Sony's Epic division. The 23-year-old singer released two solo CDs for the record company, including 2005's 'O' and 2006's '21.' Both albums were certified gold. In December of 2007, Omarion partnered with rapper Bow Wow on the CD, 'Face Off.' To date, the set has sold 341,137 units according to SoundScan. As an actor, Omarion starred in the films 'You Got Served,' 'Fat Albert,' 'Feel The Noise' and the straight-to-DVD release, 'Somebody Help Me.' The personable star was also a series regular on Marques Houston's former UPN sitcom, 'Cuts.' No word on what the singer's plans are for life after Columbia Records. My source speculated that if former Sony executive David McPherson fills the late Ronnie Johnson's job as Executive Vice President and head of Urban Music at Capitol Records, its likely Omarion could end up there. McPherson was influential in B2K's success at Epic. Another option could be Motown Records. Omarion's management and production company, The Ultimate Group (TUG) has a deal with that label and released Omarion's good friend and business partner Marques Houston's last two CDs through Motown.
Good Luck on you future O. I still love ya and you'll always have a fan here.

The former lead singer of boy-band B2K, will be singing hits from his debut album ‘O’ including his smash hit Icebox- a song fans might wish was a homage to his trusty fridge-freezer rather than his crusty bleeding heart. He will also perform singles Touch and Entourage and some show it is set to be. Omarion is one of those enviable performers who can sing and execute complex dance routines without a missed breath or bead of sweat. Damn him. Support will come in the form of Nathan, who was nominated alongside Amy Winehouse, Ne-Yo, Lemar and Akon for best R&B act at the 2007 Mobo Awards. The show is the first of a series of exclusive gigs at the Sheridan Suite in the coming months.

Mario Dances With Stars - As for pursuing “King of Dance” honors in the R&B realm, Mario feels there is no competition between him and his comrades, as everyone brings their own unique and creative style to the forefront. “You know what man, all those guys (Omarion, Chris Brown, Usher)...are very talented and they each have a different way of expressing their dance. Usher comes from the more choreographed lane, Omarion is just straight freestyle; he was a dancer before he was a singer. Chris was a dancer before he was a singer,” Mario stated. And though he denies any type of rivalry between his comrades, he remained very clear on the distinction between him and his R&B buddies. He continued “I was a singer first, and dance is something I acquired through being a performer, so this is a time where I’ve been the best shape I’ve ever been. I definitely plan to implement more dancing into my music career.


Omarion was absent for the 8th annual Freaknic Jam Concert on Friday Night March 21,2008. Tiffany Fisher, 12, wasn't disappointed when singer Omarion didn't perform Friday night at the Freaknic Jam. The heartthrob crooner was to headline the show with Bow Wow but a sudden death in the family prevented him from performing. "He had to be there for them," she said. "So I understand." But Bow Wow made up for Omarion's absence. In front of more than 2,000 screaming fans, he performed some of his most well-known songs and oozed charisma as he ran up and down the stage, making his female fans squeal in delight. My condolences goes out to Omarion and his family I love you O keep ya head up God will help you and your family through this hard time.

Ciara talks about Omarion's dancing what Ciara said is below:
"There’s a difference between entertainment and dancing to me, and if you’re going to judge dancing on its own, I would pick a street dancer or an artist that rocks all the way day in the streets. But one person I don’t know if they know but I think they’re aware of…is on fire when it comes to the moves, that are raw (and when I say raw, I mean hardcore), is Omarion. He is on fire with the moves; I’m not going to front. He’s clean with his moves when he does it. There’s a difference when you can get crazy and get raw and rowdy, but Omarion gets it cracking."
Thats right my baby can dance lol

As I said...On the Top 25 Under 25 Countdown our boy Omarion came in at #9! That's not bad @ all and the co-host Lauren London came in @ #10. If you're wondering who came in @ 1 it was Chris Brown and @ #25 it was the boy T-Pain. Congrats to everyone especially Omarion =)

Omarion and the beautiful Lauren London will be hosting BET's Top 25 Under 25 Countdown Tuesday, March 11,2008 11/10c. Make sure you all tune in to see who's the most likely to succeed. I'll have Omarion's # on March 12th =)

Tune In to BET Honors Tonight at 8/7c only on BET. Terrance J says Omarion came through maybe you'll peak him in the audience watch it anywayz its BET Honors ;)


I got this from my Omarion Alerts from Vibe.com:
Omarion is one of the Top 5 Michael Jackson Wannabes: Omarion comes in at #5 - Besides starting their careers before they reached Roller-coaster height, O and MJ have always placed special attention on their two-stepping tricks. To make up for callow vocals, Omarion relies heavily on impressive mini-Mike impersonations. However, while he breaks a sweat straining for the attention of an older audience, Michael transitions seamlessly within a fan base ranging from 6 to 60. Note to Omarion -- being just a PYT doesn’t always cut it. Chris Brown came in at #4, Ne-Yo came in at #3, Justin Timberlake came in at #2, and Usher came in at #1.

Feel the Noise with Omarion and Zulay Henao is out on DVD & PSP Now!


FEEL THE NOISE DVD REVIEW - After Rob (Omarion) has run-ins with both cops and hoodlums in his Harlem neighborhood, his mother (Kellita Smith) decides it's high time that her son try a change of scenery. So, she ships the troubled teenager off to Puerto Rico to live with the long-lost dad (Giancarlo Esposito). Although he doesn't speak Spanish, Rob doesn't have much of a problem adjusting to life on the enchanting island, primarily because, as an aspiring rapper, he's well-versed in the universal language of music. Furthermore, he shares this interest with his step-brother, Javi (Victor Rasuk), a cool dude in a loose mood who introduces him to Reggaeton, a catchy blend of reggae, hip-hop and meringue. The instantly-inseparable semi-siblings start dividing their time between the recording studio and a popular haunt filled with couples grinding shamelessly and gyrating with abandon to the sensuous beat. While soaking in the new sound, Rob saunters over to meet C.C. (Zulay Henao), the prettiest girl in the nightclub. Wouldn't you know she's already primed to dump her abusive, possessive boyfriend in favor of love at first sight with the tall, dark stranger? This assorted state of affairs sets in motion the three ring circus called Feel the Noise, a combination flick comprised of equal parts overcoming-the-odds saga, across-the-tracks romance and father-son bonding opportunity drama. Fairly formulaic in most respects, the picture unfolds innocuously enough to stomach as a Latin version of the ghetto fabulous blaxploits which found their way to theaters in the wake of the explosion of gangsta rap.Fortunately, R&B crooner Omarion proves himself quite the leading man here, generating enviable screen chemistry with his co-star, Zulay Henao, while his character simultaneously makes his assault on the music industry. How do you say "sappy Horatio Alger tale" in Espanol?

Good (2 stars)
PG-13 for sensuality, violence, profanity, ethnic slurs, sexual innuendos and illegal drug use.
In English and Spanish with subtitles.
Running time: 89 minutes
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
DVD Extras: "The Making of" featurette and more.

Feel the Noise will be on DVD and PSP Tuesday, January 29,2008!

Official Statement from Omarion Regarding Chris Stokes:
Below please find a statement from Omarion regarding the accusations against Chris Stokes made by Demario "Raz B" Thorton and Ricardo Thorton. "I want to be on the record as saying that "Raz B" Thorton and Ricardo Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes. Chris is a father figure to myself, and many others in the industry. He's guided us, helped raised us and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect to and look up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately. He's married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever," said Omarion."I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me. These people have damaged me, and my reputation and I won't stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter," said Omarion.

BOW WOW:"Omarion Saved My Career" -
Rapper BOW WOW credits new recording partner OMARION with saving his career. The hip hop star claims he was an arrogant 18-year-old heading for career downfall when R&B star Omarion took him aside when they toured together two years ago.   Bow Wow, 20, says:"Omarion was man enough to approach me and say he didn't like the way I was acting. I was the youngest person on the tour and, man, was I immature and arrogant." They are now firm friends and recorded joint album Face Off together

Omarion Did A Smart Thing & Didn't Do The Reality Show with B2K! Mediatakeout.com:Lil Fizz sent a bulletin message to all of his myspace friends today. I'm paraphrasing- the message said " I have been getting bombarded with e-mails and phone calls from people wondering why Omarion is not on the show. I have nothing against Omarion. I want to keep everything peaceful and nice in my life with no controversy. If you want to know why Omarion is not on the show, then ask him. I wish that Omarion was on the show, Omarion chose to not be on the show." That's what Lil Fizz said ( those are not his exact words but I paraphrased his words). If you read between the lines, it seems that there is still hurt feelings between Omarion and the rest of B2K. *O don't need them anyways*

West Coast Customs live show and concert bringing RnB stars Omarion, Marques Houston,Lloyd & Blackstreet(Not full article just Omarion & Marques Houston:
Dubai will witness one of the biggest RnB concerts of the year on Thursday, November 22 at Dubai Media City. With a line-up of the hottest RnB stars including Grammy nominee Omarion, Marques Houston, Lloyd, legendary Blackstreet and a special tribute to A-Class, get ready for an evening of ultimate RnB.At 21 years old, with music, television, book publishing and movie credits under his belt, Omarion's growth, maturity and depth are showcased on his sophomore, Epic / Sony Urban, solo effort aptly titled, 21. Of the album concept he acknowledges, "everyone can relate because it's a memorable time.   It's a universal topic. It's a celebration." The first single "Entourage," produced by Eric Hudson, blends O's memorable yet danceable chorus with catchy lyrics. The second single, "Icebox," produced by Timbaland, delivers dark engraining beats that draws listeners closer to Omarion's experience in a fading relationship and illustrates how he deals the challenges of the commitment. Fueled with passion and honesty, 21 has Omarion breaking out of the pop-teen idol mold and moving into his grown man status.Inevitably, there comes a time in every boy's life when he realizes he's a man.   For Marques Houston, that time is now.   With his new album Veteran, he reveals his maturity to the world.   Gone are the days of pop-laced tracks and catering to the teen crowd.   He's moved on to the next phase of not only his music, but life. Houston sees Veteran not as a reinvention of himself but simply as whom he's become. "This album is going to set the tone for who I am truly as a man and as an artist," he says emphatically.Houston has developed a knack for juggling multiple projects. Veteran is being released on his own T.U.G./Universal Motown Record label, which includes a roster of artists (Omarion, Mila J etc). He's also continued his acting career-he starred on his own television series Cuts for two seasons and co-starred with Omarion in the dance hit film You Got Served. And next year, he and Omarion will star in the horror flick Somebody Help Me produced by their company Rock Stars Entertainment.The show is being brought to you by West Coast Customs, the creators of the hit TV show ‘Pimp My Ride'.

Feel the Noise Recieves 1.5 out of a 4:Feel the Noise is the worst attempt at grabbing the Latino teen music audience ever. There is, first of all, no music really, then the performers are anything but; and the story is negligible. I sacrificed too much sitting through this.The first of Jennifer Lopez’s productions, the movie stars R&B singer Omarion Grandberry as Rob, a Harlem teen whose budding career as a rapper is rudely interrupted when he runs afoul of a local gangster. Mom sends Rob to Puerto Rico for safe haven with his long-estranged father, Roberto (Giancarlo Esposito) where he quickly warms toward his father’s stepson, Javi (Victor Rasuk), a young man with own musical ambitions. Soon Rob is seduced by the mix of music styles and even falls for sexy C.C. (Zulay Henao). She in turn likes the music composed by Rob and Javi, convinces them to make a demo and gives it to a sleazy record producer (James McCaffrey) who just happens to be staying at the hotel where she just happens to be a dance instructor.The exec is a cad and offers to hook Rob and Javi up with a record producer back in New York so he can have free reign with C.C. Despite the premise, there isn’t enough music, or dancing or sex to sustain Feel the Noise for its running time. At the screening I attended the kids gyrated a little in the seats, but the fizzle was gone 30 minutes in. Good intention, just not enough talent.
