By Maura Yes, that’s right: Everything that happened on that stage is the fault of bad parenting and even worse bouncing, and also Akon apparently didn’t have the Internet while he was on tour with Gwen Stefani.

By musicom1 Verizon really didn’t want to see Akon “Smack That.” Akon performed “The Sweet Escape” with Stefani on American Idol in March and then appeared two weeks later to sing “Don’t Matter.” His sophomore album Konvicted dropped in November and has sold more than 2.2 million copies.

I didn't expect him to be that cool,' Akon recalls in moment from MTV's 'Michael Jackson's Human Nature.' By James Montgomery has recorded tracks with some of the biggest and brightest stars in music. But there's one star who was bigger and brighter than all the rest: Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson had a stash of secret recordings - and the tracks could be set for release. The material includes unused tracks from studio sessions of some of Jackson's top albums, as well as more recently recorded songs made with R&B singer Akon and Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am.

By Fraser McAlpine Naturally it helps that everything which Akon has a hand in tends to sound quite similar, but still.

By Fraser McAlpine Do you know, I was only wondering the other day whatever happened to Sean Paul.

By Jesse Gissen Unfortunately for Akon, the odds are stacked against a disc from a hip-hop based "super group." T-Pain's heavily hyped T-Wayne project with Lil' Wayne has yet to come to fruition and Pharrell is already committed to a super group called Child Rebel Soldiers with Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco....

By Fraser McAlpine But we're not here to talk about squeaky old Akon, are we? Even if he does represent about 65% of all the vocalising contained within this song. His isn't the face on the packaging after all. That would be Kardinal Offishall (of the province of Dyslexia, presumably).
