He exclaimed: "Pleasant is a free woman PLPs! Pleasant is a free woman PLPs! God is good PLPs! Pleasant is a free woman! God still reigns PLPs!"

But trial jury members were still deliberating, and had been for more than eight hours. No verdict had been reached although convention members celebrated Bridgewater's supposed vindication by singing and dancing to "Oh Happy Day".

An angry Senior Justice Allen discharged jurors from returning with a verdict at 10.54pm last night, informing them that some two hours earlier there was an announcement at a political convention by a senior official, indicating that one of the accused persons had been acquitted.

Some 20 minutes earlier, the jury had been brought into court and the foreman indicated they needed more time to reach a decision.

Senior Justice Allen told the jury: "We are very concerned, in the interest of justice, that it does not appear that there has been a communication from the jury room. Justice must not only be done, but seen to be done."

The song -- "A Place with No Name" -- sounds similar to the song "A Horse with No Name" released by the group America back in 1971. We're told several years ago America's manager gave his group's permission for Jackson to record the song, "A Place with No Name" -- despite the similarity.

America's current manager, Jim Morey, who was also Michael's manager in the late 80's and early 90's, tells us, "The band was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear."

It's unclear when Michael recorded the song.

Exactly one week after news broke of the tragedy that occurred in Chris Brown’s rented Lamborghini with singer Rihanna, the star who has been in hiding, released an official statement about the issue.

The statement reads, “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writing under my name are frauds.”

I think Chris should have been sorry while he punching Rihanna’s beautiful face. I don’t care what she did to stir it up; she couldn’t put those kinds of bruises on him. And to all the Chris Brown fans who believe Rihanna gave him herpes that has NOT been confirmed by a reputable source and I don’t think it’s true.

People magazine has also gotten word from Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty. He said “they seemed pretty happy” but also that “You think you know somebody, but you really don't”. In reference to any chance that Rihanna is thinking of ‘sticking it through’ her dad said “If it were me, I'd move on”

Reports has said that Rihanna has either a broken nose or a broken jaw after her fight with Chris Brown. LAPD took some pictures of Rihanna's injuries and they are said to be "horrific". The photos are reported to have show major contusions to both sides of Rihanna's face.

Rihanna's lip is busted, her face is seriously swelled with lots of bruising and she also has bite marks on one of her arms and fingers.

Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that's what did the damage, but Rihanna refused treatment at the scene. Before she left to go to the hospital, the police took some pictures and show some "devastating proof of abuse.".

Due to Rihanna's injuries, she has now canceled her Malaysia concert which was scheduled for February 13th 2009. Although Rihanna's representatives have informed Malaysia's Pineapple Concerts that the 13 February show will have to be rescheduled and NOT canceled. Director Razman Razali said...

"In light of recent events involving Rihanna, the William Morris Agency will confirm within two weeks from now on a replacement date to be mutually agreed upon by the organizer and the singer's team. We sincerely regret this unavoidable shift in schedule and apologise to the fans for any inconvenience caused."

Her record label has also called off celebrations for her 21st birthday on 20 February, due to be held in New York City.

Man, Chris Brown is in for a rough ride. Rihanna is one hot chick and no doubt if he is to blame for breaking her nose or jaw, there will be some guys and even some women out to get him.

Our job here at the Ordinary Joe Music Blog, does not consist solely of reviewing albums, providing the latest industry news, and live blogs that rival the best on the net, but it is also to feature artists that we feel exhibit real talent.

In this case, we have the latest single “Talkin’ Indian” by O2; the group behind “24/7”, the record that took the Bahamian island of New Providence by storm. If you liked “Arab Money” from Busta Rhymes, then you’re sure to love this song.

The video is a slideshow of pictures that feature the O2 Family that go from chillin’ to stuntin’ in a second. The track is real hot. Hopefully they’ll put together an official video for the single soon. Check out their MySpace profile

The Ordinary Joe Blog wishes them all the best!
