He's a new artist, and is currently not signed to a record label. His music is pop/dance. You guys should defintiely check him out, his album is actually free on his official website (http://simon-curtis.com/). Thanks to Emeraldfields for showing me him, he's extremely good and if you like pop music you should definitely check him out. It's a fun album, and definitely the first CD I've heard in awhile that I loved from first listen.:)

BIOGRAPHY

Simon Curtis (born 1987) is an upcoming pop singer and songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Simon won the Popstar Magazine and Johnny Wright’s “Get Famous” contest, was named a national top 10 finalist in the “Britney Spears Samsung Superstar Tour,” was commissioned by Disney to provide a theme song for an annual Disneyland event, was named an official Oklahoma Ambassador of Music, and won The University of Tulsa Award for Outstanding Achievement in Performance.

Simon was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 10. Later that same year Simon earned a coveted role in the national tour production of the musical Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He overcame his disease and completely defeated cancer.

After years of performing in at least 7 professional level operas or musicals a year, Simon had shifted his sights to the realm of pop music. Inspired by the current pop sensations Britney Spears and *NSYNC, Simon decided to record his first demo. At the age of 15 Simon completed his first set of recordings and began to shop them around. It was his encounter with managers Matthew Knowles and Laila Bagge later that summer that changed him forever though. After meeting with them and singing for them, Simon presented the two managers with his demo, and much to his dismay, was told that although he had stage presence and charisma beyond his years, he sounded like a broadway kid and wouldn’t ever get signed with that kind of sound. Taking their advice, Simon stopped performing in musicals altogether, began the process of breaking his voice down, and started to find one of his own.

With over one hundred fifty thousand downloads in just two weeks, Simon Curtis's infectious, electro-pop, giveaway album 8Bit Heart effectively succeeded in the defibrillation of BoyRobot hearts throughout the digital interworld. With Sirius-XM radio host and veteran Billboard senior editor Larry Flick calling it "equal parts smart, infectious, and instantly memorable," and Popjustice.com staking claim to Simon's "Beat Drop" as their song of the day, Simon has creatively hacked into the digital conscience of his loyal, maturing tween followers, and has broadened his mission to stay connected with an already impressive fan base as they reach their teen years and beyond.

Leaving Tulsa, Oklahoma at age eighteen, Simon had all the tools he needed to take a smash at Los Angeles' artistic outlets. Fighting and winning a bout with Leukemia at age ten taught Simon perseverance was his best friend and that even what we consider to be our deepest fears need only be seen as informidable obstacles. With that in mind, he went to work, and in only a few short years, Simon was quickly able to land a leading role on Nickelodeon's prime-time musical special Spectacular. Premiering before 3.9 million viewers (and over fifteen million viewers in it's first week on air), Spectacular was a monumental success. Further developing a fan base and creative outlet for Simon's budding career, Spectacular rolled out to one-hundred sixty-one territories across the globe with blow-out ratings for teen programming in Southeast Asia, Australia, Brazil, and Sweden. In addition to his time spent with Nickelodeon, Simon was also found buzzing the airwaves of Disney's empire as a love interest to America's beloved Hannah Montana.

Today, Simon has firmly planted his feet in the viral music scene and has set his sites on connecting with today's "connected" audience. A Twitter search with keyword simoncurtis brings a complex web of #boyrobot, #8Bitsoflove, #RobotMonster, and #android conversations. This Easter weekend, #SimonCurtis reached Twitter's worldwide top ten Trending Topics which lead Adam Lambert to reach out to Simon, asking for the up and comer to write on his next album. Fans and bloggers agree: the RobotArmy is in full force and each day more join the ranks. Simon Curtis's commission has been sent and you can find his marching orders being carried out here at Twitter, Facebook, SimonDaily, and Myspace.

"Simon was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 10. Later that same year Simon earned a coveted role in the national tour production of the musical Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He overcame his disease and completely defeated cancer."

That's amazing!

[Carbonek_0051]

I know right? I honestly thought that was really amazing when I first read it.

I hope he gets signed to a label. Pop needs more men in it.:D

[remote91]

I downloaded the album and it's awesome! Reminds me a lot of early GaGa which is not a bad thing at all :D

[Carbonek_0051]

Omg Ikr? It's so hot, I love it. I have seriously been listening to nothing but it for the past couple hours. xD

What's your fav song?

Mine is either Beat Drop or Fell In Love w/an Android. The beats are amazing. <3

[Jack Croft]

Beat drop samples Bad romance! WTH! :D

[MattTR]

Did I hear Pop/Dance?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely check him out. :tmb:

[ajrich17901]

I wasn't really that impressed by him, but he does have a pretty good voice compared to other (so called) singers out there. Thanks for sharing.

[LightningRider]

Downloading it now, but I'm loving the lyrics. :D

OMG I knew the name was familiar! It's Simon Curtis from Nickelodeon's Spectacular. I love that movie. <3

[Carbonek_0051]

Beat drop samples Bad romance! WTH! :D
Haha, I love that pat.:D
Did I hear Pop/Dance?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely check him out. :tmb:
No problem, I hope you enjoy.:)
I wasn't really that impressed by him, but he does have a pretty good voice compared to other (so called) singers out there. Thanks for sharing.
No problem, I'm sure he's not everyone's cup of tea. And I agree he is definitely better than a lot of singers out right now.:p
Downloading it now, but I'm loving the lyrics. :D

OMG I knew the name was familiar! It's Simon Curtis from Nickelodeon's Spectacular. I love that movie. <3

I've never seen Spectacular, but I heard about it.:p I love his lyrics though, and the beats are amazing.:D

[]{eith]

Listening to it now. Not bad! :tmb:

[Carbonek_0051]

Glad you liked it babe.:D

So for the people who have actually listened to it, what's your fav song?:p

[EmeraldFields]

I'm glad I found out about this guy! :cln:

His song Detox samples Me Against The Music! :D

6s6hj8PNg64

[Carbonek_0051]

Omg, that's awesome.:cln: I love the beat.:D

And lol @ some of the Britney pics they used in that video.:p

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Wow, he really should be signed to a record label like fast! :cln: Loving Beat Drop, and how he samples other songs in his own songs! If they were to be put up on iTunes to buy, would them samples still remain?

[Carbonek_0051]

No clue. :/

I love Beat Drop, it's probably my favorite.:D I love how he samples a lot of songs too, I also like how he hints at other songs. I really think he should get signed, there isn't a lot of male pop artists around (at least not many that I am aware of).:p

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ Hopefully they'll be included! :D Yeah, there actually isn't a lot of male pop artists currently, well bar like Justin, but he hasn't done anything solo for a while now and his recent features on tracks are more RnB! Justin Beiber is another, but I hate his songs! :p

[EmeraldFields]

If Britney and Gaga had a baby it would be Simon Curtis. :D

[Carbonek_0051]

"Are you crazy?
Because you're so out of line
I swear someday you're gonna freak
And claw out my eye...
Oh wait, you did
Oh baby, baby
does she take a piece of lime
for the drink that I'ma buy her
Oh wait this song isn't mine"

lmao <333

[bloodstormaoa]

"Are you crazy?
Because you're so out of line
I swear someday you're gonna freak
And claw out my eye...
Oh wait, you did
Oh baby, baby
does she take a piece of lime
for the drink that I'ma buy her
Oh wait this song isn't mine"

lmao <333

I LOL'd so hard :D

[Quasimodo]

Don't Wanna Be Alone - meh...needs more cowbell
Delusional - much more successful
Diablo - too similar to Womanizer
Joystick - I liked the beginning with the retro gaming sound effects, but then it started sounding too similar to a lot of other pop songs out there. I wish it would've stayed more upbeat.
Beat Drop - love it! my favorite so far.
Brainwash - hot mess.
The Dark - I would've prefered something less droning and more dramatic.

8bit Heart- easily the strongest song on the album, my other favorite.

[EmeraldFields]

LMAO! I love the Quasi-ism "Needs more cowbell." :vlol:

[bloodstormaoa]

My favourite is still "Fell in Love w/an Android" :cln:!

[Carbonek_0051]

Yeah, Fell In Love w/an Android is my second favorite. I love the chorus.:D

It's crazy to think he made this album without a label, and that he made it in a basement.:p

[Your_Envy*]

I am just listening Beat Drop and I freakin' love it! :cln: :tmb: He kinda reminds me of Zachary Quinto with these glasses. :pi:

Thanks for sharing Nate, gotta check all his songs! :hug:

[EmeraldFields]

I'm listening to his he pre-8Bit work. It's called Alter Boy and it sounds similar to the late 90's/early 00's pop. It's still good, but he has definitely grown as an artist.

[LightningRider]

8Bit and Diablo stay my faves. :tmb:

He needs to get signed on. He's one of the only Male Pop acts I know. :(

[irjudd]

"Simon was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 10. Later that same year Simon earned a coveted role in the national tour production of the musical Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He overcame his disease and completely defeated cancer."

That's amazing!Wow, I didn't realize that was possible. I have had two people I know die from Leukemia and it's a pretty much a couple weeks left to live once you're diagnosed.

[tombraiderluka]

I like Don't wanna be alone, Super Psycho Love, Diablo, Delusional, Beat Drop (my fav)

[KC Mraz]

I downloaded the album earlier this week, it's very very good! The fact that he got this together by himself with just one other person is pretty amazing.

My favorite's probably Beat Drop too, and there's something I really like about Joystick (he could use one of those "Parental Advisory" stickers :pi:). I agree that there should be some more male pop stars. This is a great start for that.

[AmericanAssassin]

I freaking love this album. I've listened to it over and over and over again. I simply can't get enough of it. It's so fantastic. :D

The actual songs rank something like this for me...

01. Joystick
02. The Dark
03. Beat Drop
04. In Love w/an Android
05. Delusional
06. Super Psycho Love
07. Brainwash
08. Don't Want to Be Alone
09. 8Bit Heart
10. Diablo

[Tombraiderx08]

I'm in love with this guys music :cln:

[amiro1989]

Discovered his music the day of the release of his album/EP by pure luck, and definetely fell in love with him and his music. He's a phenomenal artist. Would love to work with him... He actually got me nervous, because I want to release an EP two, this year.... :vlol:

8bit Heart is a masterpiece. I love it so much.

[drakl0r]

Thanks for sharing! :D

I love 'Diablo' :D

[Lara Fan 4Life]

His album has been downloaded 80,000 times this week! :yah: It's a crime that it's free to download though ...

[:BitterSweet:]

This guy has an album out!?
I listened to Delusional around the time it first got on the internet. I loved it, but never really heard anything else from the guy afterwards. :/

From this thread it looks like the albums really good. Well Ima' be downloading it and see for myself. :mis:

[amiro1989]

His album has been downloaded 80,000 times this week! :yah: It's a crime that it's free to download though ...

No it's not. He did the best career move by that. He gained a lot of fans by doing this. Once he'll get signed, which he probably will, he will be able to release music and sell it. He just wanted to give a taste of what he could do.... ;)

[Carbonek_0051]

Glad to see everyone is liking him.:D

I listened to the album the whole time I was in Cali.:p Good to see he got loads of downloads as well.:)

[EmeraldFields]

Britney's a fan! :D

http://i43.tinypic.com/v5znm8.jpg

[Lenochka]

Delusional is AMAZING <3

[AmericanAssassin]

Everybody needs to try and spread the word about this album. I've already told dozens of people about it. I love it so much. :D

[remote91]

I like Diablo the most

[Tombraiderx08]

Did anyone catch the backwards message in "Dont wanna be alone" :pi:

[marla_biggs]

Downloading it now.

He's very pretty. :p

[LightningRider]

Did anyone catch the backwards message in "Don't wanna be alone." :pi:

I heard it, gonna rewind it to see what it is now. :p

Edit: Aha! Nice. :cool:

[tombraiderluka]

I heard it, gonna rewind it to see what it is now. :p

Edit: Aha! Nice. :cool:
What does it say?

[LightningRider]

Why don't you find out yourself? :p



Okay, it's just I don't wanna be alone backwards. :ton:

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Oh baby, baby
Does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that Imma buy her
Oh wait, this song isn't mine

:cln:

[tombraiderluka]

Why don't you find out yourself? :p



Okay, it's just I don't wanna be alone backwards. :ton:
How dare you use that tone on me? :mad:

[LightningRider]

Oh baby, baby
Does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that Imma buy her
Oh wait, this song isn't mine

:cln:

lmao <3

How dare you use that tone on me? :mad:

I'm sorry. *listens to Black :D*

[Lenochka]

After listening to this album a little more I've decided I like The Dark the most. :D It's pretty amazing how he took the theme from The Dark Crystal and made something so modern with it. xD

[Carbonek_0051]

^Ikr? I like how he uses little things like that. xD

I can't stop listening to the album, I want to hear some of his earlier work. I wish he could do a music video for one of the songs.:p

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ A message EmeraldFields sent me -

We (Britney forum) have a 'General Simon Curtis Thread' so he commented on a possible music video he might make and that he appreciates all of the fan-made CD covers we've made.

It's suppose to be for Delusional! :D

[Carbonek_0051]

Omg yes! Delusional is like the perfect single track <333

Yeah EF told me about him joining that forum.:p Omg, I would love to have a video for Delusional.:jmp:

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ I love Delusional as well. :cln: Beat Drop and Diablo also better be made into singles! :ohn:

[Carbonek_0051]

Beat Drop <3

Now let it in your body
And the party won't stop
'Cause it's seven kinds of naughty
When you let the beat drop.
I told it to you once I said why don't you understand?
Tell the DJ drop the beat,
Don't play some mother****in' band

I can totally seeing it be a single.:D

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ :D

Oh baby, baby
Does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that Imma buy her
Oh wait, this song isn't mine

I'd love for Brit to make a small cameo in the Diablo music video, if there's going to be one! :D We should really tweet about Simon to Brit's team, seeing as he's a Brit fan and IUSA and MATH are sampled in his songs! Maybe it will lead to him getting signed by Jive? *Goes to tweet Adam - http://twitter.com/AdamLeber*

[Carbonek_0051]

Omg, but isn't Jive like a horrible label?:p

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Sadly, yes, they're horrible ... Maybe I shouldn't tweet Adam! :p Or should I just go and send him a message showing him the songs Brit's sampled in?

[Carbonek_0051]

I don't know much about Jive tbh, I just want him to get signed. xD

[AmericanAssassin]

If I had a record label, he would have been signed the moment that album hit his website. :mis:

[Lenochka]

I would love if he signed with Jive. Can you imagine a Simon/Britney duet? She did work with the Outsyders (produced Womanizer) when they were practically nobodies.

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Found out I can't send Adam a message until he accepts me as a follower! I can however add him to a tweet, but I don't see him seeing it at all! :(

I'd love a Simon and Brit duet! :cln: I really do think that getting him regconised by someone from Brit's team will help him get more attention, I mean like one tweet from Brit saying she likes his music, with her 4,000,000+ followers reading the Tweet, and huge attention for Simon on Twitter! :D

[tombraiderluka]

lmao <3



I'm sorry. *listens to Black :D*
Lmao :vlol: :vlol:

[AmericanAssassin]

Diablo started out as my least favorite track on the album, but I think it has grown on me. I like it now. :pi: This album is amazing...

[marla_biggs]

I'm liking the album so far.

Nice n electro poppy :)

[Tombraiderx08]

UgIB9sAzZJ0
:D!

[EmeraldFields]

Things Simon has posted on BMK:

and one more thing, 8Bit Heart acapella (the entire album) is coming soon... So then you can get your remix fix

Working on lining up more interviews, and just got in my official bio for the EPK portion of my site that's going live this week (in addition to Myspace and Twitter revamps)

Then once all that is lined up, it is time for ... label shopping


!!!

So excited, thank you guys for helping spread the word so much and getting 8Bit Heart downloaded 80,000 times in its first week (a rather incredible feat for an unsigned, unknown artist doing grassroots solo, male, pure-pop... at least that's how we're selling it to the labels anyway : )

[Tombraiderx08]

Acapellaa!!! <3 Simon is too cool :D

[Carbonek_0051]

Awesome, I can't wait to hear the acapella album.:D
UgIB9sAzZJ0

He is so adorable. ^_^

[Carbonek_0051]

Omg, he is so cute and he has a really good voice.:D

[BlackRainbow]

Downloading it now, can't wait to hear it. :)

4XxrmED6mno

Amazing speech.

[LightningRider]

Well, it was still good anyway. :p

That was really good. He's such a sweet guy. <3

[Carbonek_0051]

Indeed.:D

And Ikr? I would love to meet him, he seems like he would be fun to hang out with.:p

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ Look's like someone might have a little crush on Simon ... :whi: He really does seem like a great guy though! :tmb:

[Dingaling]

^ Look's like someone might have a little crush on Simon ... :whi:

Have you looked at him? How can you not be infatuated?

[Carbonek_0051]

It's not my fault!:p

He's cute, and his personality is so adorable. xD

[Carbonek_0051]

Sorry for the double post, but from Simon's Facebook:

Pretty epic announcement bright and early tomorrow

I wonder what it is.:jmp:

[Dingaling]

Rather excited about it myself.

:D.

I didn't write *anything* on his Facebook status update.

[LightningRider]

Omg! I'm excited! :jmp:

[KC Mraz]

He's getting so obnoxious on twitter it's not funny anymore. The album is still great though (and he keeps on winning points for wearing those thick glasses just for the sake of it -- they're hot).

[LaraRules81]

Downloading the album now (I'm surprised it's free! :eek:) and I'll have a listen tomorrow, is it any good? :)

And I think those huge glasses are cute! http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/8424/awwo.gif

[-DaNnEe..]

Omg, I think I'm in love. His album is amazing!

[Lara Fan 4Life]

He's getting so obnoxious on twitter it's not funny anymore.

In what way? :confused: Also, his first fan site is up - http://www.simondaily.com/ Coming soon! :D

[LightningRider]

In what way? :confused: Also, his first fan site is up - http://www.simondaily.com/ Coming soon! :D

Gah! I'd had enough of all these Daily Sites. Then again, they are somewhat connected, but still!

[KC Mraz]

In what way? :confused:

In the way he re-tweets everything anyone says about him. It's fantastic people are noticing him but it's a little too much (thankfully you can hide his re-tweets without unfollowing him completely - can't wait to see what his anouncement is!).

[Carbonek_0051]

"Fell in love with an Android baby
Playing games with a toy that played me
The electricity is easy I'm told
So where'd you ever learn to be so cold?
Nothing in your eyes that I can see
time to shut the power down and let me be
Try to play it like you think you're something so hot
Hate to say it, but I'd rather **** a robot"

<3

I cannot get enough of this album, every song is amazing. ^_^

[Carbonek_0051]

Sorry for the double post, but his announcement he announced on Twitter.

YOU GET ANOTHER FREE ALBUM THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait.:jmp:

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ What? :eek: That's crazy! :D

[Carbonek_0051]

I know.:D

I am super excited, I wonder how much he can improve.:cln:

[herothing]

What us up with this guys weird glasses.

[Carbonek_0051]

Weird?

They don't look weird, I actually like them a lot.:)

[Lara Fan 4Life]

I hope he stays with the same sound as 8Bit Heart! :D But I know it won't be free, he'll definitely be signed to a label by then! :pi: Also, Brit better duet with him! :mis:

http://i43.tinypic.com/v5znm8.jpg

I think I'll be using this for my new avatar! :D

[herothing]

Weird?

They don't look weird, I actually like them a lot.:)

I think they look very.... odd.

[Carbonek_0051]

That would be an awesome avatar.:D

And I hope he gets signed soon, and I am sure if he gets signed before then the album will indeed not be free.:p

[LightningRider]

I think they look very.... odd.

...O.o

Hundreds of people use those kinds of glasses.

And omg yay new album. And I hope he get's signed too! :jmp:

[MangelinaJolie]

Eh. I don't really hear anything special. :o

[pekirock]

Uhh, I really like his beats... nice :D

EDIT: I just LOVE Diablo <3... amazing, definately keeping a close eye on Simon :D

[MangelinaJolie]

Now that I've listened to the full album, the only song I like is Beat Drop. The rest of them are just grating and get on my nerves. :hea:

[-DaNnEe..]

Uhh, I really like his beats... nice :D

EDIT: I just LOVE Diablo <3... amazing, definately keeping a close eye on Simon :D

Will this be due to the If U Seek Amy by Britney reference? Haha. I don't blame you though. It's my favourite on the album!

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Diablo, Beat Drop and Delusional are my favourites! :D

[pekirock]

Actualy I just noticed how he says, "ohh baby, baby, does she take a piece of lime, for the drink imma but her"... I also noticed how he used a Gaga reference, from Bad Romance :D....

OMG I love this guy <3

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Anywho else going to join his forum - http://simondaily.com/boards/index I just registered! :D

[pekirock]

I have a question... What's his real accent? I heard the one from brainwash, and the one he talks to the guy in the elevator... Which one is real?

[EmeraldFields]

I have a question... What's his real accent? I heard the one from brainwash, and the one he talks to the guy in the elevator... Which one is real?

The Elevator voice. :)

[pekirock]

The Elevator voice. :)

Thought so XD

[Dingaling]

I love the way he says "sweeeet!" on that xD.

[AmericanAssassin]

Another free album this summer?! Yayayayayayayay!!! :jmp:

[Carbonek_0051]

I have decided, the Dark is now my favorite.

[AmericanAssassin]

I have decided, the Dark is now my favorite.

Yay! I love the style of it. :jmp:

[:BitterSweet:]

^ Where's the original post of your sig? :vlol:

My favourite it Brainwash. This guy did not disappoint me.
Btw, I didn't like Spectacular! much. Thought I'd get that out there. :p

My favourite it Brainwash. This guy did not disappoint me.
Btw, I didn't like Spectacular! much. Thought I'd get that out there. :p

I didn't like a lot of it, I just liked his parts.:pi:

I love Brainwashed, I actually don't have one song I don't like.:D But I am constantly listening to The Dark. <3

"Take time, I said now what you're trying to do,
if you're gonna see it through
it takes time
I said it takes some time to figure it out
Stay in line
But how do you follow it and cross it at the same time?
You just can't cross it
oh, no

I don't wanna say the things I have to say
who's to say that I'll ever say them at all?
Gotta be that, gotta get it with that act
Gotta wear the hat although it's all a mismatch
Squared circles, ran around the hurdles
I did everything, I thought there was a purpose?
Can somebody show me how to get in?
'Cause I can't figure out how to get in.

Can somebody show me?
I can't see in The Dark
Can somebody take me?
I can't stay in The Dark?
Will you Illuminate me on out of
The Dark?"

[Single]

Uh. This guy is good. :D

My favorite song of him for now is Beat Drop, or it was Drop Beat?

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ It's Beat Drop! ;)

[pekirock]

I really like Brainwash and Diablo, but then again it's not like I dislike any of his other songs :D

[Carbonek_0051]

For those of you who never visit his twitter.:p

simoncurtis I AM GOING TO BE THE OPENING ACT FOR AJ MCLEAN AT THE ROXY IN LA ON MAY 6TH!!!

Tickets available now on Ticketmaster.com ;)

[AmericanAssassin]

Hey, it's a start. I'm glad he's getting out there. Go, Simon! :jmp:

[pekirock]

WOOT WOOT! :D :jmp:

[MangelinaJolie]

Beat Drop is really catchy. I can't stop listening to it.

So I suppose he is good after all. :p

[Carbonek_0051]

Told you.:ohn:

I've noticed the album might take sometime to grow on some people.:p Although for me I loved it first listen.:D

[pekirock]

I absolutely adore him <3... I hope he releases some type of a tshirt, I would totaly buy it :p

[Dingaling]

One of his more recent tweets:

"Had a dream that I was eaten by a giant robot snake & was saved by Lara Croft-Tomb Raider... except I was R2-D2... I'm not making this up :|"

\o/

[AmericanAssassin]

^ He mentioned Lara Croft?! :jmp: Yayayayayayayay! I love him even more now! :D

[Carbonek_0051]

"Listen to me
I don't wanna be alone
I'm gonna find someone
I swear the fire will never grow cold"

<3

Also, awesome that he mentioned Lara.:D

[anniversarytr11]

Im listening to it, its alright, definately a britney fan, i mean quoting if u seek amy lyrics and doing the stupid monologue things like britney had on oops, i dont get why they are on there, it's just needless

[TRenTIs]

What song does he do a monologue in?

[Carbonek_0051]

Im listening to it, its alright, definately a britney fan, i mean quoting if u seek amy lyrics and doing the stupid monologue things like britney had on oops, i dont get why they are on there, it's just needless
A lot of people actually like those parts. He also samples a line from Bad Romance. They are just little nods to other pop artists. And what stupid monologue?

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Check out what he's achieved so far - http://www.simon-curtis.com/epk/ :D Also, he tweeted this to Adam (Britney's manager) -

@AdamLeber as soon as my publishing is negotiated I am submitting for Britney like a fiend... like a fiend I tell you

:D If only Adam would take notice of his Tweets, as he's tweeted Adam a few times already but he's just ignored them! :/

[Carbonek_0051]

Did you guys hear he is working with Frankmusik?:D

For those who don't know who that is:

I've been listening to his album lately, and I am really excited Simon is working with him. I can't wait to see what they come up with.:jmp:

[tombraiderluka]

Army of robots ready to take over the world? xD I hope not :p

[Carbonek_0051]

Two videos of Simon rehearsing for his show!

T3i6Un5crnI

zQBIkE9xKI4

I love the choreography.:jmp:

Also he's opening for La Roux in June.:D Confirmed on his twitter (http://twitter.com/simoncurtis/status/13093857549)

Also, I am getting all this info from SimonDaily (http://simondaily.com/). Be sure to keep an eye out for news.:)

I really want to see him in concert.

EDIT: Fanmade Diablo Part 2 Featuring Britney Spears (http://www.sendspace.com/file/zp11c1)

[Lara Fan 4Life]

The choregraphy is great! :cln: Can't wait to see him perform live! :D

[Carbonek_0051]

I really hope he comes to AZ sometime, because I would very much love to see him live.

And also, the fanmade Diablo Part 2 isn't too bad. The only thing that annoys me is that he didn't use Brit more, and that during the chorus the "Oh baby baby baby" was slightly annoying.:p

[LightningRider]

I love that it has a page. <3 I'm sorry, I just wanted to tell y'all lol.

I love that it has a page. <3 I'm sorry, I just wanted to tell y'all lol.

It's about damn time he and his album got a Wiki page.:p

[KIKO]

I see some great moves and awesome songs. I'm loving 8-bit heart, beat drop, super psycho love and FILWAA so far:D

[AmericanAssassin]

On the wiki page, it has he has another CD called "Alter Boy" that was released in 2006. I want to hear it. :pi:

[Carbonek_0051]

On the wiki page, it has he has another CD called "Alter Boy" that was released in 2006. I want to hear it. :pi:

I have it, it's not that good.:p

[AmericanAssassin]

I have it, it's not that good.:p

I still want to hear it. Where did you get it? I'm a collector, yo. :p

[Carbonek_0051]

I got it from the Simon Daily boards.:p

[Lenochka]

The rehearsal footage is very exciting! I am so happy to finally have a male version of Britney. <3 and the fact that he is going to try to work with her in the future makes it even better! :D

[Lara Fan 4Life]

I am so happy to finally have a male version of Britney. <3

:vlol: True though! :hug:

[AmericanAssassin]

So, I'm now listening to his "Alter Boy EP" and I don't know what to think. The songs are a bit all over the place. :p

[Carbonek_0051]

Told you!:p

[AmericanAssassin]

On the 8Bit Heart album, I always used to skip Diablo. Now I listen to it more than any other tracks. My favorite is constantly changing. :p

[Lenochka]

My fave atm is Super Psycho Love. It reminds me of something Nsync or some other late 90's boyband would have done if they were gay... or gayer then they already were lmao.

[Carbonek_0051]

My favorite keeps switching back and forth to Beat Drop & The Dark.:D

[danjodan]

I love him:D

[Lenochka]

1sUAiGImbCY
Vbzf4ox2kNg

He even lip syncs like Titney lmao
I looooove this man :3

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ He's singing over the track in some parts, I think! :p

[Carbonek_0051]

He's singing with a backtrack, you can definitely hear him singing though. :p

The dancing was a little off compared to rehearsals, but it's his first show so I think he'll improve from here. :)

[Lee croft]

The rehearsal footage is very exciting! I am so happy to finally have a male version of Britney. <3 and the fact that he is going to try to work with her in the future makes it even better! :D

NOOOOO :(

Its emotional... :pi:

Why?

[Lee croft]

Im kidding he isnt that bad :p

[AmericanAssassin]

I think Simon has a perfect voice for pop. He's awesome. :D

Demo & a snippet of two new songs! :D

Anything You Want To Be (Demo) (http://simondaily.com/2010/05/exclusive-anything-you-want-to-be-demo/)

Let’s Go Feel The Music (SNIPPET) (http://simondaily.com/2010/05/lets-go-feel-the-music-snippet-sdexclusive/)

I love, love, love, Let's Go Feel The Music. I can't wait for the full version. :D

[]{eith]

They both sound pretty good. I like Let's Go Feel The Music.

[Carbonek_0051]

I've been listening to Anything You Want To Be a lot, it's grown on me. I can't wait to hear the final version. I really want to hear the rest of Let's Go Feel The Music! :p

Also so no one misses it:

I love his pants/jeans from the La Roux openings <3

[Carbonek_0051]

Let's Go Feel The Music (http://simondaily.com/2010/05/exclusive-lets-go-feel-the-music/comment-page-1/#comment-24)

I love it! I wonder who the girl he is singing with is!!:jmp:

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ I really like it! :D

Has he been working with Adam Lambert on some tracks? I remember reading that somewhere, but I don't know if it's true or not!

[Carbonek_0051]

Atm it's just a rumor as far as I know, apparently he is supposed to help Adam write some songs or something. I don't know if it's official yet.

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Hope it's somewhat true! I love Adam's music, and it would be great to see him work with Simon! :hug:

[Carbonek_0051]

I'm not a big fan of Adam's work tbh, but if Simon wrote him some stuff I actually might like it. Simon is good at writing really catchy songs. xD

[Lee croft]

WHOAWEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Two of my favrioute male singers!! Cant take it....needs ... oxygen cant.... *is dead*

I love them two, it would be killer if they did a song together even if they dont both sing on it.

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ Definitely! :D

Nate ... You don't like For Your Entertainment or Whataya What From Me? :eek: They're amazing songs! :D

[Carbonek_0051]

Nate ... You don't like For Your Entertainment or Whataya What From Me? :eek: They're amazing songs! :D

Nope. :/

Anyway, I can't stop listening to Let's Go Feel The Music. I think it's my favorite song from him now. I really want to know who the girl is. :D

[Lee croft]

Nope. :/

Anyway, I can't stop listening to Let's Go Feel The Music. I think it's my favorite song from him now. I really want to know who the girl is. :D

I tweeted at simon daily

and said @simondaily Who is the Girl singing with simon in "lets go feel the music" ?

I dont know if they will reply though

Edit:

I got a reply

they said

"simondaily @Lee_M_Morris i dont know sorry.. i can ask Simon next week :) "

So we'll have to wait unless anyone else knows who she is

[:BitterSweet:]

So I sent this to Nate a few minutes ago so...

Earlier this week, Joe Jonas exclusively told JustJaredJr that he’s working on a solo album but what will his new music sound like?

The 20-year-old JoBro told us he’s working with producer Frankmusik, who also has been working with Spectacular’s Simon Curtis.

“Frank is really cool and talented,” Joe told JJJ while promoting Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. “We met a couple months ago and when we first met, it didn’t go as planned. We weren’t sure if we were gonna work together. His background is very ELECTROPOP, dance music but now, that’s pretty much the direction.”

OMJ!!!!!!! We can’t wait to hear Joe’s new electropop sound. Lots of dancing!!!



Read more: http://justjaredjr.buzznet.com/2010/05/20/joe-jonas-electropop/#ixzz0oVE75CXa


Should be cool.
He's been going around Hollywood. First Adam Lambert and now Joe Jonas. :)

Plus I'm watching Hannah Montana and guess who's in it? Simon!
He's only in it for a scene though. Thought I'd mention that too. :p

And that music portrait thing is amazing!

[Carbonek_0051]

I AM SO EXCITED! That's awesome, I can't wait to hear Joe's music now.

So I am guessing that's the secret project Simon was working on with Frankmusik. :D

[Dingaling]

It reads to me as: Joe Jonas is working with Frankmusik. Frankmusik has been working with Simon Curtis.

Rather than: Joe Jonas is working with both Frankmusik and Simon Curtis.

[Carbonek_0051]

Oh, I just noticed that as well. Bummer, oh well I look forward to it anyway. :p

[:BitterSweet:]

:pi:

The Hannah Montana thing is still true though...

[Lee croft]

Simon has stated (on twitter) that he has a new album coming out for the summer for those who dont know

[Carbonek_0051]

Already posted that about a month ago. :)
Sorry for the double post, but his announcement he announced on Twitter.

YOU GET ANOTHER FREE ALBUM THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait.:jmp:

[Glaçon]

Super Psycho Love :jmp:

[Lee croft]

Already posted that about a month ago. :)

well he has annonced that he has a title for the 1st song and a chorus for it too

[Carbonek_0051]

Why didn't you just say that before then? :p

[Lee croft]

Why didn't you just say that before then? :p

Because

Let's Go Feel The Music is my favorite. :D

[Hairhelmet12]

So when does the album come out? is there a date?

[Carbonek_0051]

New song from the new album! Laser Guns Up!! :jmp:

TcgJYpNUCdI

First listen I wasn't sure if I liked it, but the second listen I loved it. It's extremely catchy, I cannot wait for the studio version and the new album! :yah:

He also did a cover the Bad Romance:

T2lYp-G-ldE

I love it. He did a full acoustic show, you can find a lot of the videos on youtube. I love Beat Drop acoustic. :D

[scoopy_loopy]

Not so keen on his acoustic. I feel like it desperately needs something more, like someone on piano.

But god, he is so damn cute! XD

[Lara Fan 4Life]

Aww, he made a mistake during the BR cover! :hug: Gaga while performing BR has as well! :p But yeah, I really liked the cover! Also, going to download Laster Guns Up now! :cln: Thanks for posting Nate! :tmb:

[Lee croft]

I wanna marry him!!!!

[AmericanAssassin]

I'm ready for new Simon music. Kthanx. :wve:

:p

[Carbonek_0051]

I'm ready for new Simon music. Kthanx. :wve:

:p
I agree, he keeps teasing about the new album on Facebook. But he still hasn't said when it will be released. Summer is almost over and the promised album for summer is nowhere to be seen.

[AmericanAssassin]

Oooh...

I want to marry him like nooooooow!

Edit: O_o I really must want to marry him because I forgot I mentioned it before

I wanna marry him!!!!

[Carbonek_0051]

Sorry for the bump, here's something a bit new. Simon did a song with Ro Danishei, she kind of sucks (IMO) but I love his part. He co-wrote the song.

Ro Danishei – Michelle (feat Simon Curtis) (http://simondaily.com/2011/01/ro-danishei-michelle-feat-simon-curtis/)

He posted the other day he is doing the theme song for CW's new show Shedding for the Wedding, I have yet to find a video of the theme so hopefully that will pop up soon. Still waiting for the new album, he keeps talking about it on Facebook. I wish he would just give us a single or something to make the wait better. :p

[KyleCroft]

We have a Simon Curtis thread? I looooovveee him! And he's so nice!!

[AmericanAssassin]

I'm not going to lie... I'm getting a bit impatient with his second album. 8BH is great, but it's not enough. The Alter Boy EP just sucks. :p

[Carbonek_0051]

I'm not going to lie... I'm getting a bit impatient with his second album. 8BH is great, but it's not enough. The Alter Boy EP just sucks. :p

Same. :p

If you're so impatient listen to the song I just posted. :ohn:

[AmericanAssassin]

If you're so impatient listen to the song I just posted. :ohn:
It's...okay...I guess. :pi:

[Carbonek_0051]

It's...okay...I guess. :pi:

The girl sucks (IMO), his part is awesome though <3

[AmericanAssassin]

The girl sucks (IMO), his part is awesome though <3
His part was definitely the best. It seems like the girl was just jumping on the slutty pop train that's popular right now. Meh. The only pop newbie I care about, besides Simon, is Natalia Kills at this point. :ohn:

[Carbonek_0051]

Listening to 8Bit Heart for the first time in months, god it brings back so many memories (DISNEYLAND!). I looooove this album soooo much. :cln:

[Dingaling]

Preview of new album and new album title:

http://www.billboard.com/#/news/simon-curtis-diy-pop-plus-a-preview-of-his-1005073072.story

[:BitterSweet:]

Previews for his new album, R∆ (http://www.billboard.com/#/news/simon-curtis-diy-pop-plus-a-preview-of-his-1005073072.story)!

What does this "R∆" mean? :p It sounds amazing!

EDIT: Damn you Dingaling. :pi:

[Lara Fan 4Life]

^ Love Don't Dance, especially the mash up of all the songs at the start, all being my favourites! <3 :p

R∆ is his new album, I think it is anyways!

[KC Mraz]

I'm not willing to accept unpronounceable characters, it is called "Ra" (or "R-Triangle" or whatever) to me.

ANYWAYS, I'm keeping an eye on the album. All I ask for is a Diablo part 2 ad I'm set. However, he needs a makeover. Pronto. Some months ago he started turning into Adam Lambert and that not 'cute'.

[Carbonek_0051]

Would anyone have a download link to the previews? Preferably Sendspace. (for my PSP) :o I want to hear them.

[AmericanAssassin]

I love how they're saying this album is anti-dance and anti-love. It's so different from the rest of pop. Go, Simon! I love the title, too. :D

EDIT: I wonder what labels are looking into him. It says he wants to find a label and have an official "price-tag" release. I can't wait to see this album in stores. It would be cool if they made a deluxe edition that includes 8Bit Heart as well. :mis:

[Carbonek_0051]

Just heard the previews, and I looooove how it sounds. Cannot wait for this album, it's going to be hot <3333333333333333

[Your_Envy*]

:eek: Woah, previews are amazing! :cln: Don't dance, I freakin' love it! I love all the previews, it's so his style. <3

[KC Mraz]

Guess wut.

Simon Curtis - 'Superhero' First Listen (http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/12/simon-curtis-superhero-first-listen/)

Still not better than Diablo.

[Lenochka]

Not feeling it at all D:

[EmeraldFields]

I like it, but I can't see radio picking it up.

[Carbonek_0051]

Guess wut.

Simon Curtis - 'Superhero' First Listen (http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/12/simon-curtis-superhero-first-listen/)

Still not better than Diablo.

I like it, I have a feeling this album won't be better than 8Bit Heart. :/

[LightningRider]

I like the verses a lot, but the chorus is such a letdown. The production is nice though, it reminds me of an 2011 take on N*Sync's sound.

I've still got a lot of hope for the album. The sampler was really nice.

[scoopy_loopy]

He's still gorgeous, but I'm not liking the latest song linked.

[KyleCroft]

Disappointed in the single. Pit of Vipers is wonderful in full, it should have been the first single.

[Lenochka]

Pit of vipers is out in full? :D muuuuust find a link! <3

[Zebra]

It's pretty cool and I'm sure it's going to grow on me once I've listened to it a bit more but I think there were definitely much better songs among the samples/previews (especially because his singing seems to be much less powerful than usual in this song). Still, I'm really happy to finally hear a new, full studio version of a Simon Curtis song :D.

[Carbonek_0051]

Am I the only annoyed that he promised a free album? But is charging for it now. Seems like a kind of ****ty thing to do to a fanbase, no?

[Zebra]

I really think we should just be thankful that 8-Bit Heart was for free and not be angry at him that he doesn't release all of his stuff for free. I don't see anybody moaning about Britney Spears, Lady Gaga or any other pop musician for not giving their albums away for free :p.

You said he promised it? I've never heard of that (or maybe I just can't remember it) and if it's true it may be slightly understandable that you're disappointed but I still think we should just be happy about 8-Bit Heart. The man wants to be a professional artist whose music gets played on the radio and appears in the charts and for that to happen you have to sell it.

[LightningRider]

Well, that's a bit like giving a middle finger to your fanbase. I mean, I get that he needs money to pay for everything, but I don't want to have to pay for something I know I can't even buy. I can't support him if I pirate music. :o

[Carbonek_0051]

@Zebra:Sorry for the double post, but his announcement he announced on Twitter.
YOU GET ANOTHER FREE ALBUM THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!
Can't wait.:jmp:I undestand he wants to be professional and make charts but it's still messed up he promised something then changed his mind.

[KC Mraz]

The only chart he's going to make is the Greenland Bubbling Under 100 or something. At best.

I liked his album and all, but he's not there yet to aim for chart spots. He could do a Florrie (http://florrie.com/home/2010/10/23/my-plans-why-i-havent-signed.html) and keep giving away music while he polishes his production and / or writing skills while still selling for people who want to support him. It's the best of both worlds.
It's not the traditional model but I'm sure it would help him more if he kept offering his music for free instead of selling it. He's not big enough to make any kind of profit.

[KyleCroft]

Pit of vipers is out in full? :D muuuuust find a link! <3

No its not out.

[Zebra]

@Zebra:I undestand he wants to be professional and make charts but it's still messed up he promised something then changed his mind.

Well, that's unfortunate. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but maybe I would think differently about that had I seen it back when he posted it.

[Dingaling]

OMG, I can't, I just, I can't:

GTFO! Back up from my man bitch. :ohn:

The song grew on me a lot, but I am still annoyed the album isn't free like promised. :p

[Dingaling]

WHERE ARE THE HYPERVENTILATING GIFS TO PROPERLY DISPLAY MY REACTION?!

^That was quoted cos I can't figure out how to bypass that annoying Caps Lock thing the forum has :(.

He says he loves me Nate, I'm one up on you! :ohn:.

[Carbonek_0051]

He says he loves me Nate, I'm one up on you! :ohn:.
He doesn't mean it, he only wants your money. :/






lmao

[Dingaling]

Whatever, as long as the sex is great.


May still be hyperventilating rn.

[Carbonek_0051]

I really hope the album is good, I fell in love with every song right away on 8BH, so I hope this is the only one on the album that is a grower.

[Dingaling]

is a grower.

lolol.

He said to me (http://twitter.com/#!/simoncurtis/status/69932419964342272) that he knows I'll love the album so the songs can be growers or showers, as long as they're amazeballs we're all good.

[Carbonek_0051]

lolol.

He said to me (http://twitter.com/#!/simoncurtis/status/69932419964342272) that he knows I'll love the album so the songs can be growers or showers, as long as they're amazeballs we're all good.

STOP RUBBING IT IN! lololol innuendo

I agree. :p
