Aug 9th
I’m sure most of you still remember Kellie Dearest, the girl in her wacky world on YouTube channel. Tonight, at 9PM, her debut single, “Sesuatu Yang Indah” will be making the air-waves on local station Pelangi FM. I hope this song makes top charts in future Pelangi FM charts. Kellie’s debut single features King Karim, a rapper of his own kind.

We’ve changed in four years!
Aug 8th
Today is our fourth anniversary, and if you have noticed, we have tremendously changed! From 50 readers per day to 500,000 readers per day. That’s only the regular ones, we’ve hit the best milestone in March 2010, where we had 1 million hits in only three months.

Another milestone for us is the launching of musicaLiving.vancetan.com, which features news especially those relating to the music scene, celebrities and movies alike.
This year is rather quiet as we missed the coverage of Hill’s music video shoot in London, but then we are happy for him to have completed shooting his latest single, ‘I Heard’ with famous celebrities like Faye Dunaway and Kristin Kreuk. We’ve supported Hill since he entered P2F competition back in the olden days, and the votes we have done have proved that we have became a fan of the correct artiste.
