Madonna uploads “Express Yourself” video amidst claims that Lady Gaga stole “Born This Way”

2

Some subliminal diva shade is being dropped today! Madonna (or her team) has uploaded a performance of her hit singleExpress Yourself” onto her YouTube channel out of the blue and in the middle of speculation that Lady Gaga borrowed heavily from that track for her new #1 single “Born This Way.” Yes, we all know that Madonna is not one to cringe from a little lucrative publicity, but she needs to be more demure about it. Lady Gaga is in Los Angeles right now putting together the final touches to her debut live performance of the song. Don’t be bitter, be better.

M.I.A. continues war against Lady Gaga

“You know for me it was about the fact that I said, ‘Fuck The New York Times,’ quite a few times and it was written about and then in the article it was ignored, when that was what was interesting. So why would they put me on the cover of The New York Times? That question was really interesting to me, she (journalist) didn’t really explore it, she just took a cheap shot. For the first time you have the tools to fight back. Imagine if Amy Winehouse and Lindsay Lohan and all these people were able to fight back using the internet, because you can. The New York Times was going to try and discredit my words and my experiences. I think you know what? I might have been a bit impulsive, but I think what we have found [is] a new way to deal with news. Lady Gaga is someone who lives completely within [the industry]. That’s what you can get if you say ‘yes.’ I would have those outfits on and my hair would look like that and those are the songs I would sing. Everybody else on my label’s budget would get cut in order for my Grammy performance with Elton John to be banging.”

“[Madonna] subverts everything for her own gain. I went to see her London show and it was all so dour and humourless. She surpasses even Joan Crawford in terms of megalomania. Which in itself makes her a kind of dark, gay icon… I love Kylie, she’s the anti-Madonna. Self-knowledge is a truly beautiful thing and Kylie knows herself inside out. She is what she is and there is no attempt to make quasi-intellectual statements to substantiate it. She is the gay shorthand for joy.” – Rufus Wainwright

Justin Bieber proves he is a stupid baby, disses Mariah Carey

What is with little fad-starlets getting some publicity and then thinking they can mess with the legends. First Ke$ha disses Britney Spears, now Justin Bieber disses the one and only Mariah Carey. In a recent interview the child said: “I don’t love her new music, it’s not the same [as her old stuff]. It’s like Michael Jordan coming back out to play in the NBA. She is past her best.”

Well, you don’t have to love her music as your music isn’t exactly Ani DiFranco material. But, his “old stuff” is tired and done. She is not going to get stuck in an era and become jaded (like Celine Dion). In fact, we don’t think the teeny bopper has an understanding of soul and R&B. He is too young to know her old stuff anyway. What is referring to? The Emancipation Of Mimi? Get a life and get stop copying Zac Efron’s haircut.

Ke$ha disses Britney Spears in newly leaked track “Styrofoam”

Ke$ha got a little too high on the success of her one single “Tik Tok” that now she is ditching the legends. Yes, a newly surfaced track titled “Styrofoam” has Ke$ha claiming through her lyric that Britney Spears is not a real artist and that she will disappear in ten years. Yes, the women who changed the face of pop music is suddenly no longer credible enough to Ke$ha. We loved Ke$ha when that video of her covering a Radiohead song came out, but now she’s back in the dumpster (like she always looks). She needs to go back and study pop music and learn who to diss and who not to diss so early in her career. Sad day, she sounds like another one of those singers that survive on the brat demographic like Avril Lavigne.

Joss Stone isn’t a fan of Lily Allen

Joss Stone is one to speak her mind. Lily Allen is too. So, this looks like the feud that will go on and on. Both British mini-divas are at it. Joss started by firing at Allen.

“[Lily] needs to sell records because she’s not a singer, and that’s not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too,” Stone told the Press Association.

Joss said she is “making real music [and] people [will] come to the show” for “artist[s] like Lily … it’s about the track, their personality and their celebrity.”

Mariah Carey releases album promo, pushes Madonna off dance charts…

We have been listening to it non-stop. Still, Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel is like nothing Mariah has ever release and is sonically very different. The review’ll come out soon. Meanwhile, Mariah has shoved Madonna off of the only place she does well – the Dance charts. “Obsessed” has done very well and climbed atop the dance charts becoming her 15th dance #1. This is probably because the Seamus Haji remix is on fire!

Bill O’Reilly disses Michael Jackson and Memorial

Livid. I am. This conservative women-hating, racist, gay-bashing sexual harasser is talking crap about Michael Jackson. No, he is not just an “entertainer,” he shaped pop culture and made this world progress. Al Sharpton was right. Michael Jackson broke a lot of race barriers and introduced the world to a lighter less sinister face of America. He single-handedly reshaped everything we know in music today and presented the world with a different perspective. What a uneducated charlatan! Vile human!

Beyoncé trash talks the Jacksons…

Beyoncé, who is known in the music industry for always being nice or at least trying, just trash talked a whole family of celebrities. And not any family, the Royal Family Of Pop – The Jackson.

“I grew up upper-class,” she said. “Private school, My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
