Samantha Jade Visits Sydney’s Nova 96.9
Samantha Jade visited Nova 96.9 in Sydney earlier this month, talking about songwriting for other artists, including a JoJo track in ‘Shark Tale’ and “a few other things for Ashley Tisdsale.” Samantha said there’s songs on her album where she felt she would never give it to another artist. She admitted to being secretly nervous working with Timbaland before the DJ’s played her new single ‘Secret’.
“We had a few people that wanted to cut it, but I was like ‘No! No!’,” Samantha said about ‘Secret’. “I’ve got to have that song. When I worked with Timbaland I worked with Ryan Tedder, and he worked on the song with me and he did a little bit on my song too. He was nice. I was obviously really nervous going into the studio and he was sitting there. It was so exciting because I always wanted to work him and I’ve always loved his music, so it was very exciting.”

How Jive Got Britney To Show Up To ‘Piece Of Me’ Shoot
The New York Post hears that the only threat by Britney Spears’ label Jive to get the troubled pop tart to show up to her ‘Piece Of Me’ video shoot at Social Hollywood was the threat that the $500,000 shoot would be handed over to a younger artist on the label, Samantha Jade. “Jive hired Wayne Isham to direct, had all the dancers there - hair, makeup and everything,” our source added. “But she refused to come. Jive was really upset. They were already paying everyone overtime, and finally Britney showed up 12 hours late - but only after they told her they were going to give the video shoot to another Jive artist, Samantha Jade.” Read more.
