Ellen Joins Idol!

This just in: Ellen is joining American Idol as their new permanent judge



Thoughts?

The new Cheryl Cole...

On repeated listens it's actually quite good isn't it...

Lusine has Two Dots in new video

This is 'Two Dots.' It is by an artist called Lusine. 'Two Dots' is very good. It is different from what is usually touted on ScopiSat, but that fact does not prevent it from being very good.

The video is described as an illustration of 'relationships-as-trigonometry.' It is conceptual and arty and makes no sense to anyone that didn't take a college media-studies course but that is alright because the whole thing is very colorful and is accompanied by a quite nice tune.

The new Robbie video in which he does some stuff

This is Robbie's big comeback video for 'Bodies,' his first single in what seems like a lifetime. As comeback videos go it's pretty tame. There is no skin-shedding. There is no Daryl Hannah. In fact there is very little to get excited about at all except at the end there are PLANES.

The brand new Kylie video in full

Literally amazing.


Update: it is clearly only amazing because it is new Kylie. If this was Cheryl Cole's new song it would be a heaping pile of dog shit. But it is new Kylie. So it is LITERALLY AMAZING.

Asbury gays see your Miley and raise you a Whitney in 'Million Dollar Bill' video

It was bound to happen. We all knew it would. In fact we're a little surprised it didn't happen earlier. The knockoffs of the brilliant 'Party in the FIP' have begun, and first up is Whitney's 'Million Dollar Bill.' This time the scene is Asbury Park, the gay mecca of......New Jersey. It's derivative and contrived. It's got attitude but no class. It's queenier, bitchier and way lower budget. So that's about right for a Whitney project then isn't it...



After what the FIP video did for Miley in the gay world (it's blaring off every well-appointed rooftop in NYC this summer), do you think 'Million Dollar Bill' is set for the same gay-jam status?

Sugababes know About A Girl...listen to their new single

There's nothing like coming off a crap single to light a fire under a girlgroup's ass, is there? With 'About A Girl' the 'Babes have gone all RedOne and dancy and AMAZING. With 'Get Sexy' body-checked into the number 2 spot this past weekend the girls have all the more reason to abandon the American R&B schlock and get back to what they do best. Welcome back girls. We missed you.




Out in November on Island

Listen to Cheryl Cole's new solo track and revel in its unoffensiveness

So the 'highly anticipated' first solo single from an Aloud girl (the others did things but we can't remember what they were so we'll just call this the first) had its debut on the radio, and it's not half bad. It's also not half good. In fact it's mostly right in the middle. It starts out sounding like a BIG EPIC POP SONG and then ends up sounding like a Pussycat Dolls filler track. We all know Cheryl can sing, but there's some effect on her voice that makes it sound like she can't, and the breakdown isn't as epic as we would like, but in all fairness it's a little catchy we suppose. Cue ten weeks at number 1 and a trillion dollars in ringtone sales.


Out October 19 on Fascination
