Never say never is on the soundtrack of The Karate Kid movie, and it's performed by...wait for it...Justin Bieber...and Jaden Smith, as in Will Smith's son.
Heavily autotuned and digitally enhanced, the song is just as poor as the video. Featuring some movie scenes and the two "watching" the movie on two small screens (LOL how lame is that?) and them "singing the song", quite the original video. NOT
Speaking of originality, the lyrics are on the same quality line as the video, offering nothing new nor interesting, except some grammar "mistakes".
I desperately want to see a great movie but, in my eyes, The Karate Kid, the 2010 remake never stood a chance.
From the five year old tune featured on the trailer (Fort Minor - Remember the name, great song - don't get me wrong, I still know the lyrics by heart but its time has passed) to Justin Bieber...seriously? What's next? Cher?
And because I am forcing myself to find an upside, Bieber gets owned by the so-last-decade-haircut kid in the last fifteen or so seconds of the video.
They're a London based boy band of five. Their first single just got a video.
It ain't special or anything. Low budget and everything but the song is kinda great. I like it.
Remember Aston and their classical cover of Telephone? Click here to see the post about it.
Now they're back with Rihanna's Rude Boy.
They have an album due in September then they'll go on a nation wide tour. Lucky Americans.
You can vote for the next cover by going to their website: astonmusic.com So far Gaga's Alejandro is winning.
Speaking of which, Gaga herself said the Alejandro video will be out in about three days. Does that mean GagaNews was somewhat right, in about three days meaning Tuesday. They were off by a week? Oh and one of Gaga's dancers said the video is seven minutes long. That's how long Paparazzi is.
Someone's on fire!
Only days after her Rockstar 101 video, Rihanna's Te amo video leaked onto the interwebz.
This is like lesbian porn...on music channels. Supermodel Laeticia Casta and Rihanna make a couple for over fours minutes, for your entertainment.
-It all started with Gaga's Telephone. The controversial prison kiss?
-Christina Aguilera went a step further and dropped gasoline on fire for her Not myself tonight video.
-Rihanna took a total leap into the Te amo, making the gay love the main thing, the only thing going on.
-Kylie's future All the lovers video has a ton of people in their undies, not sure how far it actually goes. Might be a step back.
-Since it started with Gaga, she will top it off with Alejandro. A music video about the passion between gay partners.
Any thoughts?
Released almost ten years ago, Beautiful day, arguably the best U2 song ever, is an upbeat track about losing everything but still finding joy in what you have.
Luckly, Lee Dewyze did not lose, he won the ninth season of American Idol. And I think I like his version of the song more, his voice just sounds better.
Below you have a clip from the AI finale. Take note at how he sings "day" I believe it sounds more than great.
Theatricality.
The Glee club paid tribute to Gaga in last night's episode. They sang her two smash hits Bad Romance and Poker Face, though they did the first one considerably better.
It was the most expensive episode so far. Wanna know why? The costumes/dresses were made by the Haus of Gaga themselves but they added a handmade to them, they didn't want replicas (not that they could've) they wanted them to look like they were actually made by...kids.
Best costume (and voice...and dance), by far ... Santana! (the chick in black, duh!) Hot!
Just because I can, here's a picture of Gaga in Q magazine.
And here's Rihanna's latest video. Oh and one more thing, why has it been made public only today if it's been on YouTube for over four days? Is someone trying to slap the rumor that Gaga is releasing her Alejandro video today? The chances for that are quite low by the way. Enjoy nonetheless!
Nicole Scherzinger, one of the Dolls, released yet another solo single: Nobody can change me.
You might remember her from one of her previous collaborations: Baby Love or Whatever U Like, or simply from PCD.
The song has just been broadcasted for the first time on KIIS FM. Yes, KIIS FM, L.A.'s #1 Radio station, not Kiss FM.
Oh LA, I love you.
Back to the song, it falls into the PCD pattern quite well, cathy, uplifting and up tempo. Enjoy.
An emotional Lily was clearly moved at receiving three prestigious Ivor Novello awards for her fantastic, critically-acclaimed album It's Not Me, It's You.
She won the title of Best Music and Lyrics, Most Performed Work for hit single 'The Fear', and shared Songwriter Of The Year with Greg Kurstin for the album.
Massive congratulations to her!
And she also has a new video for a collaboration with Professor Green - Just Be Good To Green.
The white wanna-be gets annoying during the first half of the song but Lily saves it all the end, when he stop rap-talking.
Slowly but surely Robyn is trying to get our attention. Her previous single, a collaboration with I Blame Coco - Caesar enjoyed little success. But don't get me wrong, it's not a bad song.
She's hoping to change all that with her new single Dancing with my own. It obviously got the video treatment. I like her new hair do.
The video is fine. The song is better but I think a great remix would boost the song's popularity. Something more aggressive, dub step-ish? Interesting CGS would be nice too.
This is how you ruin a single:
1.You take a great song, let's say Gettin Over by David Guetta ft. Chris Willis
2.You then add some crazy unknown and creepy unknown band/groups, let's say LMFAO. Make them talk, I mean ... rap.
3. To top the audio off you beg some famous singer to steal some of the lines of your original singer. Fergie let's say. Ask her to try and make the song catchy by adding lyrics from one of her hits, the older the better.
5. Add the cherry on top, to be read as awful video. Make sure the longest continuous scene has a length of maximum five seconds. Viewers' eyes must be bleeding so they don't notice the product placements, which by the way have to be as obvious as red on green and as irrelevant as possible.
Bonus: Try to get a black dude to spin a basketball on his middle finger.
Extra special tip: Your famous singer MUST sound like he/she is in pain. Or sick. Or crazy. Studies show that combining pain and crazy gets you a lot of admirers.
So let's just get this over with. Here's an example, sorry if it takes you five minutes to read it:
David Guetta feat. Fergie, LMFAO & Chris Willis - Gettin' Over
Are your eyes and ears bleeding yet? Thought so. To make things better, here's the good song that got ruined. Dare you say this isn't a million times better than the chaos above.
Tell me what you want to hear
You might've seen parts of this video before. That's because the video isn't exactly brand new. There are two other versions for the song, Secrets. One of them had the band playing in the studio and the other was a promo for Lost which, by the way, is ending quite soon.
But that belongs to the past. This is the "official" version, as in the final one. It has a background story, somewhat.
Without further ado, here's the video:
Clubland Smashed is the brand new album from Clubland which features 100 of the biggest Clubland Anthems both old and new smashed up together in two continuous 80 minute mixes on two CDs by The Friday Night Posse.
The Clubland Smashed Megamix gives you an exclusive sneak preview of the album and you can watch it right now right now by clicking on the player below.
I fell in love with this album. Three full sessions and ten personal playlist plays. The two CDs are two and a half hours long and contain fifty four songs.
What's great about it is that all a big song, just like a description says, a huge mix/mash-up. I've left you a sample of what you should expect below.
And yes, that's Inna. I know, right?
You might remember them from I don't feel like dancin' from like 4 years ago.
After that, for me they went pretty unnoticed, and their last single release was 3 years ago. Until now.
They're back with Fire with Fire. It even has a video. Check it out.
Scissor Sisters - Fire With Fire from Blair Cameron on Vimeo.
Guess who's back!? You got it! Kylie is on fire. The full song finally here. The video will be out soon as well, exact date being unknown.
This summer shall be extra hot.
Alejandro. California Gurls. Your love is my drug. All the lovers.
The story and video editing are rather awkward.
In the Morning after dark, if you Say it right you'll be Free. Do it, not All good things come to an end.
Nelly is amazing. If I come to think of it, I had a little Nelly faze a few years ago, was going crazy over her songs. I still know most of the lyrics by heart.
Do you know what it takes to set me free?
The night is young, and so are we!
Katy Perry teamed up with Snoop Doggy Dogg for California Gurls. This shall be their summer smash hit. It's simply crazy. Haters gonna keep on hatin'. But they'll still watch the video so they can stare at Katy. Grow up you hypocrites!
The song's great. The cover is even better. I am now hoping for an amazing video. I'm lovin' the popping colors. That's the way the world is meant to be. Press play. NOW!
Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the Google'd-est one of all?
Lady Gaga, obviously!!
Here's top ten:
10. Avril Lavigne - 28,900,000 Results
9. Paris Hilton - 33,200,000 Results
8. Miley Cyrus - 34,100,000 Results
7. Justin Bieber - 34,200,000 Results
6. Britney Spears - 46,600,000 Results
5. Rihanna - 53,900,000 Results
4. Beyonce - 55,200,000 Results
3. Madonna - 61,300,00 Results
2. Ke$ha - 76,100,000 Results
1. Lady Gaga - 85,900,000 Results
And yes, Justin Bieber is at number seven.
The song is actually Travis McCoy's, it's on his soon-to-be-released album Lazarus. It's dedicated to the always dreaming part of us. You know what I'm talking about, we all wanna be a billionaire so f*cking bad.
But, for now, open your eyes and watch.
Last night Lady Gaga performed Alejandro on American Idol.
The stage was filled with Gaga's stuff, epic. I know I'll get criticized for this but I just loved the burning angel, it was a nice touch.
Oh and the violinist was just crappy. Also Gaga was simply low on energy. As much as I would've liked to love the performance I just can't.
The music mix, costumes, dancers, stage elements were awesome but Gaga's singing itself was just...disappointing. Please get some rest.
Here's what you need to know:
-Gaga actually wrote Telephone for Britney a while back
-Britney rejected it eventually
-DarkChild (produced) confirmed that this IS the demo, not the mixed demo as he respects Britney, blah blah.
-PRESS PLAY ALREADY
Okay, I know, the song isn't that great on itself, but combined with these MTV photoshops it's pure laughter and joy:
Not sure I like where 3OH!3 is heading but hey...they only have one song I like so I guess there's nothing new there.
This is their first single off their new album Streets of Gold, which will be released at the end of July, the 29th to be exact.
I suppose their drunkenness matched Ke$ha's (or how I like to believe, was completely overwhelmed by it) but then again I wouldn't want to insult the crazy Katy Perry, whoops.
Just Don't trust me, okay?
Whatcha say? The video is finally out? Okay!
It's nothing spectacular, rather funny and full of product placements (and I doubt they were charity ads, unlike Gaga's Telephone video) but it's okay, wasn't expecting anything amazing to be honest.
It's rather sad that all that only got him enough money for a fish faced hybrid Honda CR-Z. Breaking the Super/Hyper/Fame mobile video rule didn't work as planned, eh?
It's like S O L O.
E N J O Y
So the official video is finally out.
She's not herself in the video, she's trying to be Gaga and Madonna in it. Say what?
Gaga's Bad Romance vs Aguilera's Not myself tonight.
Christina's video vs Madonna's Express yourself.
