Anastacia is in rehearsals for her upcoming tour and the singer thought she would share a little sneak peak with fans. “I can’t wait to see you all on the road very very soon,” Anastacia writes. Watch the teaser at her YouTube channel below.
Anastacia checked in with fans on her YouTube channel while in Milan, Italy, where the singer was scheduled to do two TV shows. One was a football show that airs on Sunday nights, and she performed on ‘X Factor’ on Monday night. Anastacia was joined by some female members of her Italian fanclub. Watch the video clip below.
Anastacia was spotted getting ready to leave her home to head to a launch party for hairdresser Robert Vetica’s ‘Good To Great Hair’ book launch party in Hollywood on February 26th. Watch the video below.
Anastacia updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (January 21), clarifying her position on liking music after she told the Daily Mail “this might sound unbelievable but I really don’t like music” and “I’ve never bought a record in my life”. The American pop singer tells readers:
So I hear someone’s claimed recently that I don’t like music! I guess sometimes you get quoted out of context but, just to clear things up, here is how I really feel… I’ve always been passionate about music. All sorts of music, of all genres – pop, rock and soul. It’s what got me into this business in the first place.
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved singing and performing above anything else, and I’ve always been thankful that I’ve been able to do day-to-day what I love doing most. There may be times, after a long stressful day, when I prefer silence to putting on a CD, but I really don’t think this alters the fact that as a singer my life is about music.
Anastacia is out with the music video to her new single ‘Absolutely Positively’, the second release off the American pop singer songwriter’s fourth studio album ‘Heavy Rotation’, out now on Mercury Records. Watch the Nigel Dick directed video below.
ITN spoke with several celebrities about their resolutions for 2009. “Not to be so hard on myself,” Jessica Sutta said. Enrique Iglesias said, “Sleep a little more.” Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah said, “Cook more, and stop getting takeaways.” Finally, Anastacia said, “I don’t do resolutions. I’m sort of an everyday life living, maintaining a mindful process in my journey. So everyday is one of those assessment moments. At the end of the year, I think it’s sort of a copout to do a resolution. Because really, truly, you’ve got to appreciate the moment you’re in. Because you’re not promised next year. You’re not even promised tomorrow.” Watch the comments below.
Why is Anastacia called Ana Claus? “I’m one of those people that has a theme,” she told ITN. “I go with the theme, and I’m a crazy person who does, it pretty much looks like a Christmas tree. The packages I give go from pretty small to a decent size of whatever the major gift is.” Watch the comments below.
Anastacia posted several video clips on her YouTube channel when the singer did some Christmas cookie baking while in Germany. “I had to share these videos with you because I had no idea how important baking Christmas cookies is,” Anastacia writes. “I was in Frankfurt, Germany and did a radio program that centered around baking Christmas cookies with some contest winners… I has such a good time with the four people who helped me decorate and bake these delicious cookies… Hope you enjoy the videos!!!” Watch the clips below.
Anastacia showed off the food she had in her dressing room in Madrid, Spain in a video on her YouTube channel, with the singer highlighting her rider requests and favorite items – diet Coca-Cola with no caffeine and Doritos, preferably the cheesy flavor. She writes, “I wanted to share a video of a typical dressing room that I go to at the many performances I do and all the goodies that I often show up and find!” Watch the video below.
Anastacia checked in with fans on her YouTube channel as she was getting her hair done before performing on the Spanish reality dance competition ‘Fama’ in Madrid. “This is so what I do for every single day, for hours upon end because I went and decided, ‘Oh it’s so exciting to have curly hair’,” the singer complained. “Well I don’t have naturally curly hair. This goes on every time you see me with curly hair and I’m sitting in this chair for hours, while this poor woman just burns her fingers.” Watch the clip below.
