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???

On The Radar: Kate Miller-Heidke "Caught In The Crowd"

Hey Everyone!

So not a big long post today, just going to share a sweet little song with you! Today's tune comes to you from Australian songstress, Kate Miller-Heidke. I havent heard much by her, but the song I came across is catchy, pretty, soft and really honest. I think thats what I like most about it. Its a story with a soft melody. I also quite like her voice... I wasnt sure on the first listen but after a few plays, its really grown on me. She's had two albums released, and is rather well known in the Australia/Europe circuit, so she's not a complete unknown... her airy voice just tends to draw the alt pop crowd that is gaining in popularity here lately. The song I'm going to leave you with is called, "Caught In The Crowd". Its a beautiful song about High School cliques that I think we can all relate to on one level or another. Theres a character for everyone. The victim, the bully, the by stander... we're all there. I urge you to listen to it... and then come back and listen to it again... maybe a few times. Its the kind of song that not everyone will love, but some people (like me) may like it more after a couple plays. Intriguing how that works, eh? Check it out below and see what you think!

PS. If you like it, check out the official music video here... I like this but embedding was disabled!

So what do you think? I've been singing this for DAYS now!

Miley Cyrus Turns Up The Heat In Her New Video

Hey Everyone!
Apparently Hannah Montanna has been laid to rest, and this is what we're left with. Teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus has released her latest video and she wants you to know, she cant be tamed! The video is a very dramatic spin from Miley's last single "When I Look At You" which is very light hearted and soft if you will... This new released features the young songstress dressed as some kind of raven/dark angel in a bird cage. Very reminiscent of a scene from King Kong. As the music kicks in, Miley spreads her wings and dancers appear at her sides. The next three minutes or so are filled with highly sexualized dance moves, revealing clothing and suggestive themes. I mean "I go through guys like money, Flying out their hands"... really?

Now, I'm not a fan of young Ms.Cyrus, and I know she is very sick of this cookie cutter Disney image... but thats what you signed up for, Honey! Now you have a fan base of pre-teen girls and you may wanna take a second to realize that you are in fact a role model. There are already enough little sisters, daughters and cousins singing about brushing their teeth with Jack Daniels, now they cant be tamed? Great. I'm looking forward to whatever pre-teen trend hits next. I can see it now... sequined bustier dresses for everyone!

Check out the video below to see what you think for yourselves...

Well? I mean, its not as bad as some videos but again, FAR CRY FROM MS.MONTANNA

30H!3 And Kesha Unveil New Song

Hey Everyone!

Is it just me or is it totally fitting that these two work together so much? They're pretty much the male/female equivalents of each other... both aren't really singing, both are a little vulgar, and I'm a little amazed that either one of them are famous.

I admit, put a little alcohol in me and this stuff seems like a great idea, but sober? Not so much. I cant really take it seriously as music due to the lack of vocal talent... its the new thing. Now all you have to do is talk! Its not even rap, I'm not sure what to call it really. This music is only suitable as drinking/dancing accompaniment. Thats just my opinion, sorry if you disagree. But I mean, did you SEE Kesha on any of her recent TV spots? Aka Saturday Night Live or American Idol? If you ask me, she's lucky that the AI judges weren't asked to review HER performance haha.

Anyways, as a follow up to 30h!3's guest spot on Ke$ha's album with "Blah Blah Blah", she is now featured on a song for their upcoming release. The song is called My First Kiss. Its very typical of their style... catchy, sexual, and simple. Not necessarily in a great way, its just the way they seem to work. Give it a listen below, see what you think.

As much as I cant really stand it, its already stuck in my head... HELP ME PLEASE.
