"Fake" by Alex Roots Video!!!

This video by Alex video is totally genius! It's def low budget, but completely conveys the message of the song. The overdone girls in this video deserve an Oscar...or at least a People's Choice Award. Enjoy this track, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing quite a bit from Alex in the future!

Lady Sovereign "So Human" Video Premiere!

Lady Sov has premiered the new clip for her 2nd promo single for her new album! She looks really great;I'm digging her look sans cornrows. Her music has shown real growth from her last release so I have high hopes for the full album especially since she's doing the entire thing independently.

Strange Glad Bags Ad!

This comes courtesy of Ally, but now I can't stop watching it. The ad starts off pretty regularly, however, it takes a sharp turn as soon as the strange singing begins. If you don't think this is funny the first time..keep watching...you will!

BRIT Awards Performances!

Here are a few of my favourite performances from the big night! There were some truly amazing performances that totally outdid the Grammy's in my opinion. I still can't believe the Grammy's didn't have Duffy perform during the live show--at least the Brits got that right!!

Co-hosts Kylie Minogue, James Corden and Matthew Horne opening the evening in quite a comical ode to Kylie.


Girls Aloud performed "The Promise" and shockingly it was their first performance ever at the BRITs! The girls did a great job and it was a fun performance. I was waiting for the big reveal of their outfits for the entire time! I just really wish the girls could actually dance(other than Cheryl).


I was super excited to hear that two of my fave artists were performing together! The Ting Tings and Estelle brought down the house by the end of their number! At first it started off a bit disastrous when they tried to mash up "Shut Up and Let Me Go" along with "American Boy" but the songs just do not go well together. Things finished off at a high point with "That's Not My Name," the song that put The Ting Tings on the map.


Duffy performed a gorgeous rendition of "Warwick Avenue." She can do no wrong in my eyes. She is just perfection! Though I'm a bit surprised she didn't perform her newer single "Rain on Your Parade."


The Pet Shop Boys were honored and performed a long medley of their biggest hits. Lady Gaga and Brandon Flowers from The Killers joined them on stage. Decent performence, but a bit long even for a medley. I also can't say that Gaga's and Flower's vocals really mesh well together.

BRIT Award Winners 2009!!!

Here are the big winners at this year's BRIT awards in bold! Duffy was the BIG winner of the night which left Adele along with the Ting Tings empty handed. Duffy was absolutely deserving having the biggest album of the year in the UK and also being hailed by the critics. In a somewhat shocker Girls Aloud walked away with the award for "British Single," which makes me incredibly happy!!!! Check out of the rest of the best below!

A Woman Misses her Flight!!!

This totally brings the LOLz. This lady missed her flight from Hong Kong to San Fran and TOTALLY freaks out. I've missed many a flight myself and felt like doing this, but somehow held it in. Enjoy!!!

Lady GaGa : Paparazzi (Live @ Album Chart Show)

Here's Lady Gaga performing one of the finest tracks of her album The Fame! Enjoy "Paparazzi;" it's totally fun! It features excellent camera work, excellent choreography, excellent lighting, but not so excellent belly overhang.




Alesha Dixon "Breathe Slow" LIVE on Alan Titchmarsh!

Here's Alesha performing her surprise hit single "Breathe Slow." I've always liked this song, but surprisingly it's taken off and gone to #3 this week on the UK charts. I don't know if it will go any higher since it has to contend with "The Fear" by Lily Allen currently at #1 and "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga at #2. It's a fine performance and Alesha looks stunning as usual. However, though that is a nice skirt it does nothing for her or for her figured--just saying.




Lady Gaga "Love Game" Video Premiere!

Here's the sexy new video for Lady Gaga next Canadian single after "Poker Face" and rumored next US single! It features some GREAT lighting (even Christian Bale would be pleased) some large sunglasses and a disco stick, of course, all resulting in Lady Gaga looking almost presentable. However, it features great use of subway turnstiles and subway poles. There's also some police brutality and lesbian action to boot, holla!

Lil Mama "Truly In Love" Video Premiere!

Here's the video for Lil Mama's apparent first single "Truly In Love" just in time for Valentine's day---however with all my exciting Valentine's plans ie watching the DVR I'm just posting it now. It features Fanny Pack one of the dance crews from MTV's ABDC. Not the great song (I prefer her other leaked single "I'm a Diva") but still not too bad! However, she does not look so great with her hair up, I must admit!

Jennifer Hudson "If This Isn't Love" Video Premiere!

Here's the video premiere for J-Hud follow-up single to "Spotlight" entitled "If This Isn't Love"--which is not to be confused with "If This is Love" by The Saturdays--though both are equally amazing. Jennifer looks gorgeous and I'm so happy she took home a Grammy on Sunday! She definitely deserves it with tracks like this on her album!

Just Can't Get Enough of The Saturdays!!


The Saturdays have been tapped to sing this year's Comic Relief Single in the UK. For those of you that don't know, (almost) ever year there's a benefit called Comic Relief that features a song released with all the profits going entirely to charity. Typically it's a cover song that tends to go to #1 when done right. This will most likely be The Saturdays first #1 song when it's released digitally on March first and their 4th top ten single in the UK! "Work" will be released following this and if all is right in the world will also go to #1. The official cover art is above and the amazingly cheeky video is below. The video is too perfect for words using the girls as 40s style pin-ups!

Kaz James ft. May Gray "Can't Hold Back" Video Premiere!

Here's the video for "Can't Hold Back" by Kaz James and it features Macy Gray. It's quite an eclectic song mixing different genres and two very different vocal styles. Even though Macy hasn't really made the most of all her potential, I still tend to enjoy the music she puts out. The bass at the beginning of the track will have you hooked! I also enjoy video that look like they were filmed as part of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Enjoy!

Etta James vs. Beyonce!


After the Faye Dunaway v. Hilary Duff debacle, it seems like there's a new celebrity feud! At a recent concert Etta James told the crowd that she was upset with Beyonce performing her classic song "At Last" at Obama's inauguration. She says that Obama has big ears and that she wants to beat Beyonce up. Click HERE for the full article at TMZ.

Lily Allen on GMTV!

Here's Lily doing a couple of interviews and a live performance of her UK #1 single "The Fear!" I'm excited she'll be over here in The States for a bit...maybe I'll run into her in NYC! Tickets go on sale for her US dates this weekend, but she doesn't have a NY date, so maybe I'll trek up to Boston to see her! Click HERE for dates.

Interview Part 1



Interview Part 2


"The Fear"

The Bird and The Bee Live on Jimmy Kimmel!

Here's the Bird and the Bee performing the hawt track "Love Letter to Japan" live on Jimmy Kimmel! Fun performance for a fun song except around the 3 minute mark where it gets a little crazy! The girls are dressed very Saturdays-esque plus Pilgrim collars!

Sugababes Interview!

Here's a little interview that Sugababes did while on press tour in Germany. The girls seems to be having fun and I especially like the X Box photo of them!

Lady Gaga "Eh Eh" Video Premiere!

Here's the video premiere for Lady Gaga's third Australian single "Eh Eh." The clip is the brightest we've seen from here so far and features a warm, summery, retro feel to it. It's probably perfect for Summer down under, but makes me jealous sitting here in the snow in NY. The huge dogs from the "Pokerface" video also make the a cameo!

The song currently sits at #25 on the Australian ARIA charts, but is certainly on it's way up after her previous two #1s there. The track won't be released in North America anytime soon, with "Pokerface" being the next release followed by rumored "Love Game." Sometime it takes American a while to grasp on to good music! Maybe the clip will be released in the USA by the time we have summer weather? It's hard to even imagine sunshine now....

Humorous Hamster!

Here's today's daily dose of humor courtesy of Andrew!



Nothing this random has popped up since the infamous Spaghetti Cat!

La Roux "In For The Kill" Video Premiere!

La Roux has posted the video for their next single "In For The Kill" which is such a fantastic track. The video on the other hand is pretty low budget and not in a kitschy way. Check out the video HERE. I just can't get enough of La Roux!!

Someone decided it would be a good idea to remake this gem of a video!

Alesha Dixon "Let's Get Excited" Live Performance!

Here's Alesha performing "Let's Get Excited" live on The FeelGood Factor! The track is off her hott album The Alesha Show. Does this mean this will be her next single after "Breathe Slow," which is slowing making it's way up the charts in the UK? I guess that probably depends on how well "Breathe Slow" ends up doing.
