really keri hilson?

So I guess Keri Hilson is trying to be Rihanna?
Check out the video for Return the Favor. The mirror scene is just like in Rihanna's SOS, and the water scene is exactly like Umbrella.



SOS - look somewhere around 1.13
Umbrella - can't really miss it, it's a good chunk of the video.

there's something strange going on in my head...

Hayden Panettierre is a total bitch.

I'm currently reading I Love You, Beth Cooper which is turning out to be a really awesome book. The movie is coming out soon starring Hayden Panettierre as Beth Cooper.
Somehow, in between Heroes and Beth Cooper, she managed to put out music(?!?!?!)
The song, Wake Up Call, is about how she's gonna have to cheat on her boyfriend so that he tries harder. Wow, what a great way to get a guy to dump your ass. Granted, I'd dump your ass for taking the island-esque beat to that awful Paris Hilton song (I just did extensive youtube research, and you won't find a legit version of Stars are Blind. It's like someone knew it had to go away.)

If you really wanna see a total bitch Hayden's song, here's the vid to Stars are Blind Wake Up Call.




I am from the moon this is my space accent

Marina and the Diamonds seems to be very Regina Spektor, whom I respekt but don't necessarily care for her music. She/They just released a video for her/their song I Am Not a Robot. It's... a really, really cool video. I'm not really into the song, but the video is damn neat. Check it out!




Spy vs. Spy

Sing it Loud has released a video for their single Come Around. What a damn cool video! It's... it's really neat. They clearly put a lot of effort into making this video happen. Thanks, Epitaph Records, for another awesome pop-punk band for my to jam my ipod with.
No, I'm not being sarcastic. Even though Sing it Loud is basically All Time Low on a different label, I really like All Time Low, so what's not to love about Sing it Loud?

Kelly Clarkson's my Hero

Hear her dis kids, dis Perez, and praise her tour.

Wreckin' Decks & Gettin' Sex

Okay, so I hate to keep doing wtf? posts, especially since I'm supposed to like music, not trash it.

Sadly, music keeps trashing itself.

Decaydance, the vanity label of Pete Wentz, recently signed a new group called Millionaires.

...


Imagine for me, if Margaret Cho were to turn her comedy act into a musical, and you have Millionaire's new single, Just Got Paid.

Imagine a classless versions of The Veronicas who drink a lot and have a fat third sister, and you've got their look.
$10 they're from either LA or New Jersey.
...

These three girls seem like a parody of themselves, but they're 100% serious.
If they had been released and were on any other label, I'd probably respect them an ounce more. The problem, however, is their music is everything the artists on the Decaydance label despise. All of their songs nowadays are a hit on rich celebrities who get famous doing nothing... which is exactly what Just Got Paid represents.
You can buy Millionaires entire EP, Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid, off iTunes right now for just $1.99, which I think is $1.98 too much.

Millionaires - Just Got Paid - Director's Cut

sytycd rules my life.

So You Think You Can Dance always inspires my playlists. Lemme give you a peek at the SYTYCD music scene.

Terry Poison - 24 Hours (Aston Shuffle A-Bomb Remix)
While this routine wasn't necessarily my favorite of the night (it was really good though) the song really hit me. I was like "hmm. I need this. I've been listening to this and the original version all night. Put this on your playlist!

Nadia Oh - Hot Like Wow
What an interesting song! It's very unique and powerful. Put this on your iPod, you won't regret it.


Kristina DeBarge - Goodbye
When the song that Goodbye samples came out, it was the biggest dance hit of it's era. DeBarge's version is very danceable, but not exactly versatile. This would have been killer as a Rihanna hit, but I think that it's kinda weak with DeBarge. We'll see how this train goes.

what the fizzuck?

Okay so wait... this is real?? Tinted Windows is a real band? WHAT??

Tinted Windows are: Taylor Hanson of Hanson (lead vocals), James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins (guitar), Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne (bass), and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick (drums).

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?




Next on WTF?, Taylor Swift has a new video out...
it's... uh... featuring T-Pain.
Yeah, I did use that sentence.
There's not enough words to describe this. It's... you just have to watch this.
It's called Thug Story.



I either want to hit her or respect the hell out of her.
The promise ring is still a bit of a turn off though.

...sounds like...

Okay, I've got some concerns. I always thought that "Thinking of You" by Katy Perry sounded suspiciously like Alanis Morrissette... and it finally hit me which song. The song in question is No Pressure Under Cappuccino. Listen for the "You're like a _____, like a ______" in the lyrics, similar guitarage/tempo/etc, and the quintesential Alanis "ahhh, ye da dai ai" (yes, that is legit onomatopoeia.)
Listen and let me know I'm not crazy?

just for fun

Thought you'd wanna see this.

Official remix of Waking up in Vegas, complete with music video (mostly the same as the old one, with a new new shots and deltaco'd scenes.)

Waking Up In Vegas (Remix)

This next video is why I'm alive:

My Life's a Movie - Call Me Martin Scorsese

You know I want you...

Pitbull's back with a new single, Calle Ocho (I Know You Want Me). I love Pitbull. It's probably not healthy how much I love Pitbull. With hits like Toma, Fuego, and Go Girl, killer verses in Feel It, Shooting Star, and Shake, and sick remixes of songs like Low, Cupid's Shuffle, and What Goes Around Comes Around, Pitbull has officially gotten into our heads. And I don't want him to leave!! To quote Mary Murphy, "WHOOOOOOOO!!!" I love my boy Mr. 305.

Wait... what? WHAT??
We've had a blog or two about how Lady Gaga is... well.. Gaga. Nuts. Insane. Not only is there now an iPhone app that'll make you look like Lady Gaga, but... apparently Lady Gaga is BFF with... no, you didn't guess right... Marilyn Manson. Yes, Marilyn Manson. WHAAAAAAT. They're apparently remixing each others tracks now. ...yeah, I don't really get it either. I don't even know what else to say, you just have to watch this.


(Shout out to vlogger heynaderz aka Hey Nadine)


(thanks perez)


I'm already drunk!
So the Pussycat Dolls apparently did another "The Pussycat Dolls presents" and I missed it. The result was apparently the Paradiso Girls. And.... ehh.
They got the rights to a Keri Hilson demo called "Hey Girl", originally featuring Lil' Jon and T-Pain. The Paradiso Girls' version is called "Patron Tequila" and... i just don't like it. And I mean honestly, it's not put together well. I still hear Keri from the original version. And no T-Pain... awwwkward. I honestly like Keri's version more. For starters, Hilson isn't flat the whole time. Secondly, T-Pain. Need I say more? But you can be the judge of that yourself.


(for some reason, I could only find this awkwardly sped up version. The download link should have the original.)

Also, I'd very much like to go see Boyce Avenue at the World Cafe in Philadelphia on June 28th. Anyone wanna come? I'm almost willing to go with strangers at this point. I make a hot date.

oh my god no way

liek oh my god no way.
In the recent issue of Rolling Stone, Adam Lambert came out of the closet. OhMyGodNoWayAdam'sGay? I can't fucking believe it. There's no way that his perfectly coiffed hair and pink lip gloss could have tipped me off. You know what definitely kept me in the dark about his sexuality? All the pictures on the internet of him in drag making out with men. That's what threw me off the most. I mean, what gay guy would do that? This is totally coming out of left field.

Seriously now.
Okay, the big question is "Did Adam Lambert's sexuality keep him from coming in first?"
I don't think that's the case one bit. If it had been a factor, he would have been kicked off long, long ago. In the long run, I'm more attracted to Kris Allen, and we all know that the only people that won the show due to talent are Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Jordin Sparks - everyone else won because of personality or looks. The only other bigshot was Chris Daughtry, and he didn't even make it to the final three.
Now, I'm not saying that Lambert didn't have personality - I don't even watch AI but I knew everything about him like months ago. He's full of personality. So why did he lose? Do we really care? We know he's going to get a better career under a different label and won't have the AI execs financially raping him the rest of his life.
There you have it folks. I hate American Idol, I will never listen to Adam Lambert or Kris Allen. I will, however, keep you updated on my ungrounded opinions of which I am never wrong.
