Festival: David Guetta and Emeli Sandé at T in the Park

With Emeli Sandé wining the Critics' Choice Brit Award earlier this week even before her debut album has been released, and confirmation that she is to play this year's T in the Park festival in Scotland, I thought it worth showing a clip of her with David Guetta, as they performed together at the NRJ Music awards.

Guetta has also been confirmed as playing at Scotland's biggest music event.

While headline acts include Snow Patrol, Kasabian and The Stone Roses, I reckon more people will be buying tickets on account of Guetta being on the bill.

This performance would have introduced Emeli Sandé to a huge French audience, Guetta having been nominated for two awards this year and being given the NRJ Award of Honour at the 2011 ceremony.

I spoke last month about how I love this track, probbaly my favourite on the Nothing But The Beat album, and certainly Sia's vocals add to this. The song had been earlier linked to Katy Perry and Mary J Blige, and it's great to hear this alternative take of it with one of Scotland's most

With Guetta and Sandé both playing T in the Park on the Saturday, I suppose a reprise of this performance may not be out of the question.

David Guetta: Titanium

With Xmas and New Year keeping me busy over the last couple of weeks, I failed to stick in a link to the David Guetta video for the track Titanium.

Got to say that it's an absolutely outstanding video, and probably the best track on last year's Nothing But The Beat album.

I like the way that the song and video seem to be seperate but complimentary to each other. The video is not about Guetta or vocalist Sia, but manages comes up with a totally different meaning for the song.

It features actor Ryan Lee, who starred in Speilberg's movie Super 8.

It's the kind of music video that you wish someone would make the rest of the film

An alternative vocal for the song was recorded by Mary J Blige, but for the album finally went for the version by Sia rather than Blige's take. The Blige vocal was leaked online last year, prompting a comment from Guetta: "You shouldn't even know about that ... I'd rather not speak about it. That was annoying. It wasn't supposed to be out there."

Apparently the song was also offered to Katy Perry, who turned it down.

Sia, an Australian singer who has been releasing material since 1997, might not be as high profile as Katy Perry or Mary J Blige, but there's no denying her performance here would certainly be hard for either them to beat.

David Guetta: New year at Copacabana beach, Rio,Brazil

A nod to David Guetta, the biggest name in French music at the moment, for his show in Brazil on new year's eve, where he played to around 2 million people at Copacabana beach.

At the event, the new year was marked with around 24 tons of fireworks were let off, launched from 11 boats, in a 16 minute display.

Guetta was among the acts performing on four stages around the Copacabana area of the city.

Guetta said on Twitter ahead of the show: "Electricity is in the air. The vibe is so crazy already in rio. Cariocas , get ready! The biggest show of my life tonight 2 million people!"

A friend who was at the show wrote: "You know you've had a good New Year's Eve when you've only taken about 2 photos, wake up covered in mud and lipstick and champagne, have a whole bunch of new friends, but can't remember their names, feel like death, have vague memories of sipping whiskey from a bowl whilst on the shoulders of some random Brazillian guy listening to Avicii Levels blasted by Guetta with 2 million ameigos!"

Guetta has since said he is suffering from a fever, ahead of further dates in South America, saying "Brazil is the most extraordinary place but I'm so f**king sick. It's hard to perform with fever but I don't want to let anyone down."

He's recently released the song Titanium, the fourth song to be taken from his Nothing but the Beat album that was released on 2011.

With his new year off to a massive start, it looks like Guetta's status as the world's biggest DJ is set to continue well into the forseeable future.
