Pop singing superstar, Lady Gaga was on last night’s episode of Gossip Girl, “The Last Days of Disco Stick”. Gaga was on the show to promote and perform her new single, “Bad Romance.”

Of course, it’s all dramatic and everything. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be Gaga! Anyways, if you didn’t see it, take a look at the clip below!

Shakira’s “Give It Up to Me” Ft. Lil Wayne – Music Video

Lauren Croteau — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Latin singing sensation, Shakira has released the music video for “Give It Up to Me”, which is the third internationally released single off of her new album, She Wolf. The track features the talents of rapper Lil Wayne and is produced by Timbaland.

You can catch Shakira’s She Wolf album in stores on November 27th. Also, take a look at her “Did it Again” music video here.

The music video isn’t fantastic, especially considering the director was Sophie Muller who’s worked with artists such as Beyoncé, Pink, Lily Allen and more. Even the song isn’t great, unfortunately. Check it out below and let me know what you think.

Demi Lovato’s “Remember December” Music Video

Lauren Croteau — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:08:55 +0000

The music video for Demi Lovato’s single “Remember December” off of her album, Here We Go Again, has been released.

Demi said of the video, “The music video relates to the song in a way that a girl has so much to say to the guy, and it feels like he’s not listening, and she wants him to remember everything that they had. And so instead of having a love interest in this video, it’s all about being fierce and kind of, like, taking control as a girl. It’s like girl empowerment. Yeah, divas!”

I like the song. Demi’s got a great voice, but the video is pretty typical. Check it out below.

Leighton Meester Ft. Robin Thicke “Somebody to Love” – Music Video

Lauren Croteau — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:35:08 +0000

A new music video to go with Leighton Meester’s new single “Somebody to Love” has just been released. The song features smooth singer, Robin Thicke and is her first single off of her rumored-to-be self titled debut album.

Leighton said of the video, "I want it to be telling a story, but a lot about the photography and the lighting and mostly about the clothes." She also commented on the song itself, saying, "This song really represents what I’m going through in my life right now."

There is no official date as to when her album should be coming out, but it’s not like she hasn’t had some great stars helping her out. Names included on the list of helpers include, Justin Timberlake, Pink, Polow da Don, Usher, Fergie, Spencer Nezey of Jupiter Rising, JR Rotem and Kara DioGuardi.

So, what do you guys think of the song and video? The song is relatively good enough for me, but I’m not liking the video much. Check it out below!

Britney Spears Lip-Synchs in Australia, Fans Leave Concert

Lauren Croteau — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:22:09 +0000

While out in Australia on her Circus tour, Britney Spears was met with some less than enthusiastic fans upon getting on stage in Perth. On Friday night, Britney followed through her typical routine where she lip-synchs the songs and instead focuses on entertainment.

However, after only three of Brit’s songs were played, the fans started to make their way out of the concert in disappointment at the fact that she was lip-synching. The only songs during the show that weren’t mimed were the ballads. Average cost of tickets are $200.

One fan, Amanda Hawlet spent $500 in a weekend getaway, trying to go and see Britney. She said of Spears, "I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synched the whole thing.

She continued, "It’s cost me half a week’s wage and you’ve got bills to pay, but you look forward to this concert, it’s a night out – and what do you get? Nothing. It was a waste of $200 – I could have got four pairs of shoes for that."

Also, despite the round stage, which held fans surrounding all parts of the stage, some of the fans say that Britney hardly looked their way during the performance.

Well, it does suck that they paid good money to see Britney and didn’t know she would be lip-synching, but this is Britney Spears we’re talking about! If you go to a Britney Spears concert you should go expecting to be entertained, but certainly not to hear a bunch of live performances! Shouldn’t her fans know that by now?

Shakira Performs “Did It Again” at the 2009 EMAs

Lauren Croteau — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:44:27 +0000

Sexy Latin singer, Shakira took to the stage at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards, where she performed her new single, “Did It Again” (see the music video here). Well, a Shakira performance wouldn’t be a Shakira performance unless it had slightly corny and weird dancing…so here we have it.

She did sound good (well, good enough for Shakira), and at least you can’t say that she didn’t give it her all. Check out her performance below.

The 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards were full of great performers, including UK singer Leona Lewis, who took the stage to sing her newest track, “Happy.”

As can be expected, Leona sounded great and she looked beautiful. Take a look at her performance below. Check out the photos of her on the red carpet, here.

Backstreet Boys “Bigger” Music Video

Lauren Croteau — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:22:27 +0000

The Backstreet Boys have released the music video for their newest track “Bigger.” The track is the second released single off of their new album, This Is Us, following their single, “Straight Through My Heart.” It was co-written and produced by super producer, Max Martin who also had a hand in their hit “I Want It That Way.”

The music video for this song was recorded while they were in Tokyo, Japan. This must have been filmed just a little while after he was diagnosed with H1N1, or the Swine Flu. They’ll be swinging by Japan again early in 2010 for some performances as part of their This Is It tour.

Again, I wasn’t a fan of “Straight Through My Heart” and I am not in love with this either. I just find this too…syrupy? If that makes any sense. What do you guys think?

The Spice Girls To Perform at the 2012 Olympic Games??

Lauren Croteau — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:49:38 +0000

Wow…It seems like the Spice Girls are really serious about this whole reunion thing. Who better to open for the 2012 London Summer Olympics than the Spice Girls?! Well…actually I’m sure you can think of many more possible performers who’d be better, but still, it’s exciting for them.

Their manager, Simon Fuller broke the news saying, "They stand for so much in British music history and I can’t think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance."

He added, "The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever. They will not want to be performing hits like Wannabe in their 40s, but it’s amazing how often people talk about another reunion. And I think if they do it, it’s going to be in 2012."

What do you guys think about this? I’m really not sure how I feel. I mean, they really have been a big part of British music, and they have a great fan base, but performing at the Olympics? I’m just not quite on board for that.

Now that we’ve all adjusted to Shakira’s single “She Wolf”, off of the album by the same name, she has decided to release the music video for her new song, “Did It Again.” The Spanish version of the title would be "Lo Hecho Esta Hecho."

Though this song is her second single off of the album internationally, Shakira is not releasing this as the second track in the United States. Rather, a song with Timbaland and Lil Wayne called “Give It Up To Me” is the officially second track in the U.S.

Take a look at her music video for “Did It Again” below. You can buy Shakira’s She Wolf album on November 27th. Additionally, Shakira should be performing on The X Factor on November 15th.
