Who wants to see Sue Sylvester in full on 'Vogue' regalia for 'Glee'?

The 'Glee' Madonna episode just gets better and better, as pictures have leaked of none other than Sue Sylvester recreating the iconic imagery of 1990's 'Vogue.'  What do you readers think of how 'Sue C's It'?

  I think we can all agree, this is not terrible.

Eliza Doolittle doesn't like 'Skinny Genes' in new video - watch now!

Eliza Doolittle is an up-and-coming British singer being tipped by all "the blogs" and such.  She does a cute little blend of pop and folk and singer-songwritery stuff and it's pretty listenable by any standard.  Eliza is the daughter of West End/Broadway institution Frances Ruffelle (who drama club geeks will remember as the voice of Eponine on both the London and Broadway 'Les Miserables' soundracks) and some theater director guy we couldn't be bothered to Wikipedia.

Eliza's got the pedigree and the talent, so it will be interesting to see how this debut single fares.  As for the song itself, Doolittle says it's: "a funny scenario if you didn’t like someone, if they were really annoying, but you had a good time under the sheets."

Ah, Frances would be so proud...

Who wants to hear Glee do Madonna? Watch the video now!

On April 20th something VERY AMAZING will happen. It doesn't sound as good to break it down - essentially some adults playing children will be singing the songs of a woman who is old enough to be their grandmother but dresses like she is 19. See, not as good right. But still, Gleeks rejoice, as we witness the sampler of the Glee kids singing Madonna's repertoire of some of the best pop hits of all time.

The episode will get its own album (conveniently available on for preorder on iTunes), but here are clips of the highlights:





"Phenomenal."

Something from the 90's because it is better than anything else we could post today - watch the video now

It is a thinly-veiled truth that ScopiSat wishes it was still 1993.  Not because we'd be young and carefree, but because we would be surrounded by really good music ALL THE TIME.  In a vain but oddly fulfilling attempt to relive that golden period, here is a video by Don Henley and Patty Smyth. 

Rarely can a single sentence sum up an entire song, but somehow one of our like-minded readers has done it:  This song is amazing.  Anyone who says different is clearly a spy and must be "dealt with."

The duo released this gem in 1992 and we think it goes without saying that it is FAR SUPERIOR to the duets we get these days.  'Telephone' isn't exactly the best offering from Gaga or Beyonce, and the less we say about Ke$ha's mess with 3OH!3 the better. 

Interesting (read: interesting to only 3 people, two of whom are Patty Smyth and Don Henley) fact - the song spent six weeks at number 2 on the Hot 100, behind Boyz II Men's "End of the Road."

There is something VERY EXCITING in this picture.

It's going to be a very, very good summer.

Tegan and Sara 'Feel It In My Bones' with Tiesto - watch the video now!

We love Tegan and Sara.  We're indifferent about Tiesto.  But put the two together and something magical happens, apparently.  T&S's alt-folk-rock thing lives in a place worlds away from the land of the laser-soaked dance floor.  For some reason, though, Tiesto's bleeps and blips mesh perfectly with the duo's close harmonies and indie sensibility and the whole creates something far greater than the sum of its parts.  We never thought we'd say it, but if the Canadians/lesbians/identical twins want to add a balls-to-the-wall dance album to their discography, we'd be totally on board.

The girls have never managed a top 20 album in the States, though their last two LP's went top five in their home of Canada.  Maybe a full-scale collaboration could be just the thing to push them into the mainstream, and then there will be arena tours and reality shows and museum retrospectives and everyone will realize they are better than Justin Beiber and there will be no war or starvation or Michael Bay movies.

Yes.  Yes that would be nice.




When in doubt, put a donk on it.

Weezer says 'I'm Your Daddy' in new video - watch now!

ScopiSat has always had a soft spot for Weezer.  Iconic pop masterpieces like 'Buddy Holly' and 'El Scorcho' were the soundtrack to our teens - those flannel-clad years spent angsting in a corner with a pen and paper jotting down lots of flowery but dark adjectives for "the haters" - and though the band has clearly had some growing pains they remain pretty damn great.  Much has been made of the band's turn to a more 'sell out' pop sound, and this semi-backlash has hurt the current album's sales.  'Raditude' is Weezer's lowest charting album in 14 years, but a dedicated fan base still revolves around the guys.  This new video, 'I'm Your Daddy,' is kind of a thank-you card to that lot, featuring fan art, cheering concert patrons, and insane screaming girls who probably think Justin Beiber is playing or something... it's a nice video for a nice song but nothing that is going to change the world.  So that's that and here's the video.

Rihanna is a 'Rockstar' on Idol - watch the performance now!

Things are all kind of crazy over in camp Rihanna - the album isn't doing great so there seems to be a general feeling of 'what the holy hell do we do now?' amongst the marketing drones.  Just last week 'Te Amo' was announced as the next single, but  then RiRi goes and performs 'Rockstar 101' on Idol.  It was a fine performance but it's one of our least favorite tracks on the album, and we don't know about you but we're getting a bit sick of DARK BROODING Rihanna.  You're from an island where the sun shines ALL THE TIME.  Smile a bit.
