People have had their fill of the new JT? Maybe they don't know it's coming out since he just released an album?

(Anyone remember when JT meant John Taylor?) ;_;

I guess we'll see soon. I'll be sad if his sales aren't decent.

Hew?

One of the guys from Duran Duran.

Spoiler

I think?

Interest in Justin's 20/20 experiencie vol.2 will rise once it's revealed Rihanna is on it

Does he even look familiar? (I feel old sometimes.. heh) I had two friends that put their last name as Taylor in our HS year book, ki

No he doesn't but I have heard of duran duran though

I thought Rod Stewart was the lead guy of Duran Duran

I read that the 20/20 is just to get out of contract bullshit and he wrote it in less than a month.

You can tell.

So far in GTAV I've heard both the Superior Robyn's iconic 'With Every Heartbeat' and the Inferior Robyn's slightly less iconic 'Only Girl In The World'

I'm gonna let this one slide because Robyn's "With Every Heartbeat" truly is an outstanding pop track ;__;

Right Now was released as a single and now What Now is the next one.

I hope What Now performs better than Right Now.

You'd think the Covergirl campaign would've increased Janelle's visibility.

Janelle deserves better sales. :________________:

Woman Wakes Up to Discover Alicia Keys Partying in Her Kitchen

No one, no one, no one expects to wake up in the middle of the night and find Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz Beatz, throwing a party in their house ... but one Hamptons homeowner groggily wandered downstairs to find just that.

Keys and Swizz Beatz had rented a place down the road, but got "confused and accidentally entered the wrong house," a source told Page Six. It's unclear why said house was unlocked, but so it happened that the R&B singer and her posse ended up in a stranger's kitchen.

A "Hamptons insider" explained the night, saying, "There was a woman upstairs in the bedroom at the house, and she heard noises downstairs. The woman’s daughter, a recent college grad, and her friends had been ‘pregaming’ earlier in the night before going out, so she assumed that the noise was that they’d all returned home."

Instead, she found Alicia Keys.

According to Page Six, "all parties saw the humor in the mishap," which, we guess, means no charges were pressed, and maybe even some backstage passes were given out.

Alicia Keys probably was wasted as fuck.

[royalan]

She looks like a meth addict
She is the future Amy Winehouse

Y'know, minus the incomparable talent and timeless album.

 

[Fey]

Forgot we're so close to the Vol. 2's release.

Surprised there isn't more mainstream hype.

surprised, tbh, considering how badly Take Back The night smashed

 

[Weapxn]

New Kerli pictures. Who shall copy her next?

I actually hoped more of Gaga's ARTPOP pics would be along the lines of this stuff (and the Mermaid outfits she's been giving us). More colorful, fantasy-oriented, almost David Lachapelle-ish and less grungy or artsy/plain black.

Not that Sky hasnt been able to put out a decent track here and there though

Vanity Fair stans Madonna

While the younger cadre of pop stars seem to be constantly sweating to get attention—tweeting incessantly about VEVO records and iTunes rankings, dressing up in all kinds of costumes, twerking as though their lives depend on it (in a certain way, maybe they do)—Madonna, the elder stateswoman of pop, is now in a place where she can just do whatever she wants.

Ostensibly to generate some buzz for the aforementioned film—titled secretprojectrevolution (again, it’s Madonna; she does whatever she wants and somehow the output never seems uncool)—Madonna participated in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) last night, in which she fielded a whole bunch of questions from fans in real time. (She hasn't completely become “one of us,” though; don't fret. When asked if she was typing the answers herself, she responded, “im vaccuming the housekeeper is typing.”)

That sardonic dryness pervaded the entire Q&A. No vagaries or platitudes, so prevalent these days among the pop star set, here; Madonna, refreshingly, responded with the caustic directness of your most blunt friend at Sunday brunch. When asked how to best “ease the pain” after the dissolution of a three-year relationship, and, as a follow-up, “which of your songs should I play repeatedly,” Madonna naughtily responded, “gang bang,” followed by “the song gang bang from my last record.”

And in perhaps her most succinct message for the current crop of pop stars (and one they’d take well to heed), Madonna had this to say when asked why she thinks some people “have such a hard time wrapping their head” around her actions: “because i dont explain everything nor do i feel the need to.”

"She's really freaking talented," she said of the foam-finger-loving pop star. "She's beautiful. She can sing her ass off and to go up there and do that? She's cheating herself and she's cheating the rest of us…She can do what she wants. People can like it if they want. I'm not going to buy it. She can do better. I've seen her do better."

Drag a bit.

I see that less as a drag and more as some awesome motivation for her to step up her game. Pink has proven herself to be a phenomenal performer, and Miley should take note. She doesn't have to resort to the "Look how sexy I am!!" act that Britney and Christina both resorted to to gain attention and "maturity," and she should stop soon -- especially since she's going the trashiest route possible.

...come again?

Christina never HAD to resort to attention-grabbing sexiness to get attention. After her SMASHING debut album that had people comparing her to Whitney and Mariah she already HAD it. Christina could have put out another good girl follow-up to her debut and still smashed the world. Hell, there are still people out there who believe that would have been the smarter choice over putting out Stripped.

Christina went Dirrty because she WANTED to. Because she was a bad bitch and didn't want to go another era as a fake goody-good girl. Miley's doing the same exact thing.

St!nk needs to sit his ass down.

Legend X and Knee were ICONS the minute they debuted.

One hit wonders and one trick ponies they called them ladies. Yet time after time the Pop Princesses smashing records and slaying the charts still to this day.

I completely agree with your point. I just appreciated P!nk's candor. Most of the other artists have taken a wish-washy stance of "well she's just having fun!!". It's nice to hear a female artist with that kind of talent and stature spilling some tea.

Normally I tolerate Rihanna when she comes on the radio, but today was just one piece of shit after another.

I blame GTAV, since that's what started things.
