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.

Lady GaGa speaks at The National Equality March
3You know, being a gay icons really pays off. You get to have the most loyal fanbase in the pop world ever. And we don’t want to say that Lady GaGa is doing it merely for the publicity. But, the speech was weak and the she really did not say that much. Surely, she came out of gay clubs and she herself looks inspired from drag queens like no other person, but, still, she could have written a better speech and made a better point. At any rate, We are not going to hate because she is doing the job that Madonna should be doing.

Video: “Pop The Glock” by Uffie
Finally, this gets a video. We actually featured this in one of our really old compilations back in the summer of 2006. Or was it 2o05? We forgot! Anyway, this comes in time for her new record company’s release of some new material after being shelved for so long. Even if she managed to get her name across in some circles, she never actually hit it. There’s hope for this time even if this sounds outdated.

Clip of Kylie Minogue in Bollywood movie “Blue”
4What a breath of fresh air this is. Kylie Minogue is looking as lush as ever. She sounds great and I hope she has more parts in the movie. Kylie is one of the few divas that actually branches out on a limb to try new things and she always gets it right. I cant wait for Blue to debut.
Jad Choueiri does another laughable video for “Stop Popping Pills”
21Just when we thought that Jad Choueiri couldn’t be more of a cliched tacky wannabe, he goes and outdoes himself. This time, in his quest to propel his drug-persona, he has opted for a house song with some of the worst vocals we had heard in a while (and Heidi Montag has an album coming out). It’s called “Stop Popping Pills,” which is contradictory as we have all seen him tweaking a couple of times. Regardless of what substance he abuses or uses, because he can do whatever he pleases, but it’s only bad because it’s been done before so many times and in the same format. This, still, won’t break him to the English-speaking market he was trying to attain and maintain. This whole album is a failed attempt at trying to cross over and it won’t happen if all he does is regurgitated tracks. If you are trying to break a market don’t try to imitate, but try to add. In any case, his videos are so painful to look at, one can’t help but watch. As my friend puts it: “Stop making videos,” is more like it.
Lady GaGa does Out magazine

This looks pretty sexy for the GaGa. I am glad she is representing. I hear there are a bunch of nice quotes in there. But, the headlines state that GaGa brought pop back to life, which, let’s keep it real, is not true. Still, amazing cover and, hopefully, a good article.
Kristinia DeBarge to take over
“Goodbye” is everywhere. OK, so her song is very bubblegum fop. It’s infectious like “Umbrella” and her album Exposed might follow suit. She might be the product of a record mogul, but the beat is funky!
My Statement On Michael Jackson’s Death
12
Wow. Where do I start? Well, as many of you know I a big pop fan. I am a pop aficionado and I take it seriously. It’s not just a nice-song-on-the-radio for me. I truly consider myself to be a student pop music and culture. Many, along the line, have considered this to be naff and some frown upon on it as a hobby. They think that pop is irrelevant. And I couldn’t disagree more. I firmly believe that arts and culture is the only method this world can be saved. It’s not a good economy, it’s not morals and it’s not politics.
Now, having said that, the day the King of Pop passes away is not an easy thing on me. Yes, I am a big Michael Jackson fan. So much so that if someone referred to him “Jacko,” I’d have a problem with them. If anymore brings up the child molestation case I cast them as unknowing and stupid. The point is Michael Jackson wasn’t just another performer or great dancer or a troubled celebrity. Michael Jackson was the single most valuable treasure of our generation.
He wasn’t “troubled,” as Barbra Walters said a minute after he died. The people had trouble with him. He has been judged on everything that does not pertain to what he is bringing to the table. MJ laid the ground for the pop music you listen to today. Play any pop song that’s hip today and I will trace back to you the MJ element in it. He has gone too soon.
For the half a century that we had him around us. The world mistreated him. The music industry misunderstood. And people who misguided about his life. To put in simple terms: he was ahead of his time. Maybe we will understand the capacity of Michael in the art world and as a cultural figure around the world.
He has been shunned for his lack of normalcy. Well, he’s extraordinary. He’s not average. He makes music perfectly and that’s a very hard thing to do, especially consistently. When see Michael on TV or in a magazine it was breath of fresh air. He looked different and he was right up on stage and people loved him. The plastic surgery debate has gotten so out of hand that people forget who they are talking about. Only the greatest artist of our time.
For everyone that grew up on Michael and felt outcasted or different there is a special bond there. It’s like when all the so-called freaks can celebrate freakdom. That different is OK and should be celebrated. And that no one has to fit into a box to be accepted. I mean look at Michael. He’s was the reigning king of this world’s cultural sphere and his nose is falling off, or he hangs out with a chimp named Bubbles. Or he dislikes the world’s greed, hypocrisy and discrimination so he built his own fairytale of an abode and called it Neverland. He was different, that’s why he was great and everyone wanted him to change for their quest of normalcy.
“If the say why? why? Tell them that it’s human nature.”
- MJ
I grew up watching Michael, singing Michael, dancing Michael and appreciating everything he has done. i don’t know if I am angry or sad now. So, yeah Michael was a gem and I can’t have a good time knowing that he is no longer with us and that I can’t go see him on my birthday in London. His tour was called This Is It. And that was it. We get his for half a century to show is how it should go down, we treat him like shit and now he’s gone. I feel like he was stolen from us and I suddenly have an issue with everyone that ever said anything bad about him
It’s truly a sad sad day. Not just pop students like me. But for anyone with an appreciation for art. I am going to end this rant.
Now, if you’ll excuse me I am going to disappear for a little to collect myself. Meanwhile I have compiled my favorite Michael songs for all of you. Join the group and get the mix.
Exclusive: Mariah Carey to release new song this tuesday
2
It’s amazing what a little tweet can do. Mariah Carey just announced, to many people’s amazement, that the first single off of her upcoming album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Princess is called “Obsessed” and will be released this tuesday. This is how the tweet went:
“The 1st single from my new album “Memoirs of an imperfect angel” is called “Obsessed” and will be at radio next tuesday. I’m a lil’ excited!”
The album was slated for a late September release, but that was tentative and almost every Mariah album has been pushed back before. So, to have the single hit radio (and the blogosphere inevitably) this early was somewhat of a surprise. Who knows? Maybe she is trying to give Whitney Houston a break and not release the album at the same time or maybe she is just so happy with the product that it is ready for a release. Sudden releases are good because they make a bigger impact.
Susan Boyle lost, do I care?
1Obviously! Even if I don’t like to admit it and i never understood any of the songs she was warbling everyone loves a story of triumph against the odds. I wouldn’t buy her CD, but it would have been a victories moment. Diversity or whatever they are called are really not that fab. Anyway, this is how it go.
Video: “Skin” by MEG
It’s about time for some J-Pop. MEG’s bringing her craziness back to the scene and this is the video to prove it. Her album Beautiful is out this week.
Introducing… Sliimy

He’s already been featured, but we got ahold of the album Paint Your Face recently and we loves it sans the accent. If he gets signed to record labels outside of La France then he will definitely make it. Also his video doesn’t need a re-doing for other countries. “Wake Up” sounds and looks just fine for a debut single in the UK, maybe even in some niche markets in the US. I’m not saying he is going to be climbing the billboard charts anytime soon, but who wants to be there when the like of Flo Rida and Miley Cyrus up there.
