Sexy Lee Ryan is back with 'I Am Who I Am' and it is adorable - watch his acoustic performance now!
Lee Ryan, (whose Twitter account makes GREAT PAINS to point out that he is STILL A MEMBER of the superstar boyband BLUE) is stepping up promotion for his forthcoming second album, and if the lead single is anything to go by, it's going to be very very good. ScopiSat were big fans of his underrated debut track 'Army of Lovers,' a #3 hit in the UK and a #1 in Italy for some reason. Unfortunately, his next few singles didn't fare as well (#12, #15, and #101...yes, #101), but he is back in a big way for his new LP 'Confessions.' The kickoff single is a double A-side, with 'I Am Who I Am' and 'Secret Love' getting a simultaneous promo push.
Here is 'I Am Who I Am,' the far superior of the two tracks, done as a special acoustic performance. It's already brilliant, but the video makes it much better by the inclusion of a number of photos and video clips of Ryan himself. He is not difficult to look at, no?
And here is the video for the chav-tastic 'Secret Love.' Its title is appropriate, since ScopiSat has an actual "secret love" for this song. No seriously. Don't tell anyone. Please.
"An odd combination."
Both singles are out July 4

Congratulations to Lena for winning Eurovision with 'Satellite' - watch the official video now!
For once Eurovision got it right. They actually chose the best song as the winner, and, in fact, the one ScopiSat wanted to win. Lena is a 19 year old singer, who sings with an inexplicable Cockney accent and for that reason comes off as a sort of brilliant Eurotrash Kate Nash. For that reason there is RIFE SPECULATION (read: some drunk on Twitter) that she learned English by listening to Lily Allen songs. If you don't believe us, check out the official video for the German winner:

Rihanna gets all saucy in 'Te Amo' music video - watch the premiere now!
We made no big secret of our loathing for Rihanna's new North American single 'Rockstar 101,' but luckily the rest of the world gets 'Te Amo,' the much more palatable jam from the sexy singer. Sexy, here, is the operable word, as RiRi gets all kinds of lesbo-racy up in her new clip.
Some vital points:
1. The video is CONTROVERSIAL because there is extended girl-to-girl eye contact and a smattering of lingering hugs
2. Ri looks great
3. The 'other girl' looks great
4. It was shot in France
5. The song is still kind of crap :(
Out June 11 in Europe/elsewhere

Mark Ronson is back with a 'Circuit Breaker' - watch the Zelda-flavored video now!
Mark Ronson has been behind some great pop tunes over the last few years, albeit mostly in remake form. As a BIG PRODUCER OF THE MOMENT though, it's got to be difficult to churn out hits but keep up the edgy innovation that fans and critics expect. The solution? Tell them all to f*ck off with a glorified theme tune to an 80's video game. It's different, it's unexpected, and it's surprisingly...charming. It's probably not going to set the charts on fire, but still it's a nice diversion.
Check out the NES-tastic video clip:

Who wants to see a clip of the new Kylie video? Watch now!
Finally, after what seems like weeks and months of waiting, we get to see a little preview of what Miss Minogue has in store for her 'All The Lovers' video. It's sexy, it's steamy, and has lots of flesh to look at. So, pretty much a win all around...
The track is out for download June 13, with the remix bundle on the 28th digitally and physically

Rihanna's inexplicable 'Rockstar 101' single gets a video - watch the premiere now!
Rihanna's weird trip down the road of 'artistic reinvention' continues, as 'Rockstar 101' becomes her fourth single from Rated R in the States, while international fans get 'Te Amo.' Are we the only ones who are completely baffled that this track even made it on the album? Ah well, at least the video is pretty... sort of :(

Liza Minnelli shows those young tykes how it's done - watch a brilliantly edited video for her 'Single Ladies' Sex and the City II Soundtrack contribution
Ok hold on, pop readers, because it's about to get really "old school nancy boy" in here...
For all you casual pop fans, the young, and the straight, The Big Gay Book of Pop History goes something like this:
Before there was Madonna. Before there was Debbie Harry. Before there was Kylie, or Britney, or yes, even Beyonce....there was a woman named Judy. She was amazing and did the best movies and hottest music and the most powerful, trendiest drugs. Then she died and in response all the gays rioted at a bar in New York City and turned her daughter Liza into a LIVINGCORPSE LEGEND.
Yes, before all the divas that the pop world worships nowadays were even soiling their diapers, little lady Liza was vomiting up quaaludes in a Studio 54 VIP bathroom.
Liza did all sorts of things - most of them with a 'z' - and was generally very good if you like that sort of thing. Which we don't really, besides the passing HBO special or PBS retrospective, but that's neither here nor there. Like her or not, she churned out a quality product. In fact, she is the proud owner of the acting trifecta: an Oscar, Emmy and Tony. She kind of went off the rails a bit for a while, but then returned with a genius turn on TV's 'Arrested Development.' And all the while, she's been singing and dancing her hips right out of their sockets.
Well, as if to show all us young whippersnappers that she can take ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING and give it jazz hands, sequins, a gay husband and a pill problem, Liza has taken the Sex and the City II soundtrack and made it truly her own. Leona Lewis duet with Jennifer Hudson? Meh. Brand new Dido? Who cares. Alicia Keys singing Blondie? Big deal - Liza is doing 'Single Ladies'!
No matter how many times this track has been run into the ground with remakes and parodies and teenage boys in lycra onesies dancing to it on the Bonnie Hunt show, there's something purely genius about this track. Add to it someone's LITERALLY BRILLIANT montage video they've done for it, and well.....see for yourself:
Sure, she's clearly white-knuckling it the whole time, and the backing track sounds like the 'demo' feature on a Casio keyboard they only sell in Eastern Europe, but look us in the eye and tell us this didn't totally make your day. You can't can you? No, we didn't think so.
