It's the Jedward video - watch now

They almost drove Simon to tears on X-Factor, as maybe the first actually quite bad act to make it through to the latter end of the show.  They created what is known as the 'Jedward Paradox.'  (no really, it's on Wikipedia so it must be real)  Apparently, everyone loves to hate them, but they have a healthy slew of straight up lovers as well, including the Prime Minister of Ireland, Leona Lewis, and Calvin Harris.

By the time they were booted off the show, there were debates all over the UK, supporters and condemners, and the assurance that they'd be back, somehow, in some form.  Their sheer willpower and eagerness won them a legion of fans, and also, apparently, a record deal. 

Now witness:  Jedward, the twins who nearly brought down a tv/music empire, with 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby).'



On a side note, Vanilla is looking pretty good no?

Diana Vickers has done a very very good pop song - listen to the debut of 'Once' now

Diana Vickers, the former X-Factor contestant, is gearing up to be one of the better successes from the show, if her debut single is any indication.  It's a pretty brilliant track that manages to be a little bit 80's, a little bit futuristic, a little bit now, and a lot amazing. 

There are only a few albums we here at ScopiSat sit on the edge of our seat for, but Miss Vickers' just clawed her way into the fray.




The single is out April 19th in the UK, and will hopefully see the light of day in the US

In case you missed it, the brilliant Gaga/Elton collaboration on last night's Grammy's - watch now

"Very good."

This video is EPIC and anyone who is not an enemy of pop must watch it immediately (video)

Ok so the fad of re-doing Rihanna's 'Umbrella' in a variety of different genres has certainly peaked and plummeted into the bowels of Youtube mediocrity,  but when we stumbled across this there was something absolutely enrapturing about it.  The 'it' in question is a video by a group of three young men called The Baseballs, and despite the impression the video gives, they did not live in the early 1960's.  No, they are, in fact, alive today, and still making music.  Other people's music, yes, but music just the same.  In any case, it's amazing and demands to be watched. 



Amazing.

Florence and the Machine are 'Hurricane Drunk' in new video - watch now!

Florence is a machine, chucking out tracks off the album 'Lungs' (see what we did there...), and for the sixth single we get 'Hurricane Drunk.' 

We'd say something about how unnecessary a sixth single is, but clearly the label is doing something right.  Just a couple weeks ago, 'Lungs' hit number 1 on the album chart after a bazillion weeks in release.  In any case, here's another ginger dancing around in strange outfits:



The single is out in March in the UK

Kelis celebrates '4th of July' on new leaked track - listen now

So another track has leaked from Kelis' upcoming dance album.  If you recall, we posted 'Acapella,' an absolutely brilliant club track that made us super duper excited about the whole project. 


Now there's this, and while the quality isn't the best, the whole sound of the project is shaping up to be pretty damn great, don't you think?

Is it any surprise Lady Gaga's 'Teeth' inspired the gayest video ever? Watch ripped vampires bite each other now!

Lady Gaga's 'Teeth' (which morphed into an almost religiously incredible experience on her tour) is one of the many gems on 'The Fame Monster.'  With its swagger, pulsing rhythms and sexual tone, it quickly became a fan favorite.  And we don't mean to generalize, but gays freakin love it.  A lot.  So it only stands to reason that the track would spawn what will go down (*snicker*) as one of the gayest videos of all time alongside such classics as 'Party in the USA' and Johnny Hazzard's 'Soccer Practice.'   Essentially the video is 'Twilight,' if it were set in the basement of a gym in Chelsea and was produced by Chi Chi LaRue. 



Amazing?

Amazing.

Mariah gets 'Up Out My Face' in new video - watch now!

Oh, Mariah.  This 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel' thing didn't go quite to plan, did it?  Mere weeks after the release of the parent album her label is doing the universal 'hail mary,' releasing a remix album of the album's tracks (see: Madonna's 'American Life').  To launch the impending mess, here's a video that features Mariah being 'funny.'  



The remix album is out in March
