Now we understand why Prince believes that artists should ask the songwriter before covering songs. What in the world does Miley Cyrus know about the depth of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

The whole pop universe was left baffled when Miss Minogue chose this lackluster track to be her third single from Aphrodite. “Better Than Today” is one of the weakest tracks on the album, to say the least. In fact, “Too Much” is better than all the singles combined. The video is trying, but it’s not there, being held back by the tune. Not up to Kylie standards.

Adam Lambert is on his third single and he is still doing the full-on American glam. It’s not one of our favorite tracks, but then again we didn’t find many on his debut album For Your Entertainment. But, we are sure his fans will like it.

They had to pick Shakira to represent Africa? Why? is Africa short of beautiful women with great voices? Lira should have done this and if she doesn’t open the games then this is just an African event by name, at least for us music fans who don’t give two shits about football.

The third single from The Fame Monster and Lady Gaga’s favorite track “Alejandro” is set to grace the internet any time today. “The Gaga camp has allegedly just announced that the video for the third single from The Fame Monster, “Alejandro,” will début to the world on May 25th, 2010. That’s this Tuesday. We still think the song sounds like Ace Of Base’s remake of “Don’t Turn Around.” But, as with Gaga, the video will be fabulous and it stars Mr. Walliams of Little Britain fame. Also, Lady Gaga is showing some nipple action and frolicking with a snake. A two-eyed one. Let’s hope for the bestest!” Yeah, we did all of this to tease the shit out of you, what do you think?

RuPaul’s Drag U is a forthcoming series where everyday women compete in a series of challenges to unleash their inner diva. Hosted by RuPaul and a team of drag queen instructors, “Drag U” is a spin-off of the breakout hit series RuPaul’s Drag Race. RuPaul’s Drag U is produced by World of Wonder, who has created a number of hit series including Tori & Dean: Inn Love, Million Dollar Listing, and Fantasia for Real.

On the official Facebook page for the show, a description of the program is listed: “The Dean of Drag is finally opening up her ‘school for girls!’ Welcome to RuPaul’s Drag U, where biological women (the kind who don’t have to tuck) undergo extreme makeovers – drag queen style. Who will be teaching these ladies to unleash their inner divas? Why Drag Race alums of course! Get ready for JuJubee, Raven, Pandora Boxx, Morgan McMichaels, Nina Flowers, Shannel, Ongina, and Tammie Brown to teach everything they ever learned from Ru to a whole new kind of student body.” Each episode will feature three women going to drag school, and they will be evaluated based on their “Drag Point Average.” There is a winner to each episode, but everyone’s a winner at “Draguation Day.” – From Wikipedia

The new single is “Easy” and this is the video for it. We like “Liar” a lot, but we don’t think this is a bad choice from Fixin’ To Thrill.

Former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins member tries solo.

Belgain DJ Peter Luts is bring some hot vocal house. This track is great fun and has some strong vocals that could be played across the Mediterranean from Ibiza to Mykonos to Ayia Napa. It’s fun and upbeat contrary to its name.

The video is finally here earlier than was expected after the postponing. There’s a 10 minute version apparently floating around somewhere (update: found it!), but this is what will usually get played on TV stations. We expected a little more to tell you the truth. That prison dance sequence got a little too long and Beyonce is did a good job. The last line is probably a take on the movie Thelma & Louise. It needed a little more absurdity and electronic flinches. Still, there’s nothing like it out there. Does GaGa’s face look super-imposed on a dancers body in the bikini routine or is it just foundation contrast?

In bid to stop the little monsters from getting angry for the delay of the video. Some stills from the video featuring never-before-seen bits have surfaced in the blogosphere. They are all aesthetically pleasing especially the one with cans as rollers. Click below for the GaGa pictures.

Always our favorite Backstreet Boys and now he went solo. He was always the real eye candy other than Kevin. Who was all face and no grace. At any rate, this is quite a nice attempt. Let’s hope it succeeds.

Brandy called in some radio station to talk about her birthday, “We Are The World 25,” her new reality show with brother Ray-J and her idol Whitney Houston. Click below to listen.

One of the best shows on TV, RuPaul’s Drag Race, debuts in its second season today on Logo. The hype is building up and we can’t help but find out who the winner is. They all look very catty and fun to be around. Let’s hope Logo puts the episode on once it’s finished airing in the US. Exciting!

Rihanna will be among the guest to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show‘s Haiti special. Rihanna will cover a Bob Marley classic, “Redemption Song,” for the show. She will be accompanied by Haitian American Wyclef Jean from the Fugees and neasoul star Maxwell who will sing his song “Fistful of Tears.” The show will focus of charity and donations.

Seriously, we have no sympathy for Jay Leno and what he has done. His little diplomacy scheme to kick Conan O’Brien out, to weasel himself into something he had already promised to give. It just shows how inconsiderate and ultimately arrogant he is. Anyway, Conan is the voice of a new generation and NBC would be doing wrong to bring the old dog and the old tricks all at once.

You guys, we are not kidding, but this is the 4th (Yes, fourth!) video Erik Hassle has made for his single “Hurtful.” Check out the three others. We don’t get why he needs so many, expecially when the original one is so good. This one is a very futuristic airbrushed high-octane ordeal. Well, as long as he gets some attention for his superior album, then that’d good! By the way, it’s pronounced Hass-lay not “Hassle,” like the English word.

Chaining Norwegian rent boys to walls aside, Boy George is a pretty good musician. Whether he is with his band The Culture Club or solo, he’s always managed to churn up some good quality tunes like “The Crying Game,” “Karma Chameleon” and “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?” We also loved his album U Can Never B2 Straight with the Spanish-tinted song “She Was Never He.” Anyway, he’s back now to full glam dance with this collaboration with fado singer Ana Lains.

The whole American football theme is not really my bag, but Alexandra’s personality makes up for it.

Janet Jackson is doing all the promo she can to sell her greatest hits package titled Number Ones in the US and The Best in other place. It contains one new track, which is not going to draw in many people. So, she needs to put it out there. She’s not looking too good nowadays, her attire is too conservative. Her wardrobe needs a revamp or, maybe, another malfunction? You decide.

He initially made a name for himself pre-Perez signing with this viral youtube sensation, so it comes as no surprise that they are using it to get his name across. They better retool Paint Your Face if they want to make waves. Some songs on their are up to par others are just a no-no.

It looks like her best video ever. She’s overdoing it with the drama as usual, but it looks modern and well-made. In some of the frames she actually looks good.
