Teaser For Katy Perry's New Video Hits The Viral Circuit!

Hey Everyone!

Seems that yesterday, Katy Perry unveiled a 30 second clip of her new music video for "California Gurls". The song is reportedly her west coast response to Jay-Z's wildly popular "New York" which had everyone praising the country's east coast. Feeling the need to represent her coast and gender, Katy came up with this catchy summer hit. I love it. The first time I heard it, I wasnt so sure. But after a few patio nights with my girls, this song just seemed to define the early summer feeling. Check out the video clip below!

Cant wait to see the full video, LOVING the candyland on crack theme!

Cupcake bikinis anyone???

Katy Perry Tops Maxim's Top 100 of 2010

Hey Everyone!
Its official... Katy Perry is the most beautiful woman in the world according to this year's Maxim list. I think she's a great pick... she's not the most modern example of stereotypical beauty... she's not blonde, she's not super thin, she writes her own music... she's just a healthy, fun loving, pretty woman. I think she's gorgeous, creative and a perfect fit for this list. She's quirky, not afraid to be herself and I like that as a choice for a role model. Better seeing her on the top of the chart than a barbie doll look alike who is completely molded by the industry.

What do you think? Would there have been a better choice in your mind? Who?

Exam Dance Break Day 14

Hey Everyone!

I know its only 1am... but I'm wide awake and I figured since I have work in the morning (yeah, I finish exams and go right  back to work, how lucky am I? haha) that I should do this now before I forget or lose my motivation. I came home today and I finally have music videos again, its a fantastic thing. Never realize how much you miss something until its gone, and thats totally the case with me and MuchLoud/PunchMuch. I used to watch MuchMusic but I find that their programming has overtaken the video aspect and I'm never home when they have a video flow going.

 So I invest my time in rock/pop videos this way, but the current cable package I am sharing with my roommates does not enable me this privilege. As a result, its my own responsibility to keep up with music, which can be difficult when you're stuck with endless piles of academic research to do. However, I came across this song a while ago and was only reminded of it when I saw it on TV today. Of course, I have to post it now and share it with you. Its a song by the group 3Oh!3 called, Starstruck. It features the beautiful and talented miss Katy Perry. 

I know, I know but she "sucks" right? Wrong. Now if you've ever actually SEEN (as in seen her perform IN PERSON) Katy play, you'd have to give her credit. She has a very unique vocal style and she sings her heart out. I could do without the cutesy girly girl thing she has going (which is NOT evident in this video thankfully) but she is a great singer and filled with talent. I took my younger sisters to see her over the summer... I expected to be bored and unimpressed, but it was totally the opposite. I was floored by her voice. As for 3oh!3, I have to be honest and say I've only heard a couple of their tracks. Great songs, super catchy and always get me dancing. I like their electro-pop style, they do a great job as two guys with the ability to make ridiculously catchy songs with clever lyrics. Anyways, here's the song. Warning, you will be stuck singing this for a while! But thats ok... after all, the point of the exam dance break is to sing and dance for a few minutes every day to relieve the serious stress of exams! So enjoy!

2009 Grammy Awards Announce Nominees!

Hey Everyone!

So its that time of the year again... no, I'm not talking about exams, or snow, I'm talking about Grammy nominations! Yup, thats right, the 52nd annual Grammy Awards have released their list of the year's nominees. Among the names are Paramore, Underoath, Death Cab For Cutie, MGMT, Silversun Pickups, Green Day and Katy Perry.

Not a bad list in my opinion. Kind of nice to see acts like Silversun and Underaoth up for grammys since their music and popularity are a little more discreet than some of the other major acts. The awards will air on January 31, 2010. They will be aired live from The Staples Centre in L.A. For a full list of nominees and more details on the selection process, click here.

So what do you think of the nominees? Anyone you'd like to see recognized or win? Let me know!
