Justin Bieber Debuts “Boyfriend” Music Video

Confession: I am seriously, seriously obsessed with Justin Bieber’s song “Boyfriend.” It is Justin Timberlake-lite, but considering JT is so serious about “acting” now, JB will have to do. And now there’s a music video! Truthfully, I was feeling a little uncomfortable watching him trying to be sexy, because he is so young and really too pretty for my tastes, but then I started imagining that Justin is actually Justine, a lesbian, and it somehow made it a little better. Plus, Justin’s got sweet moves. Don’t judge me!

TooFabApril 30, 2012 //

Teen bride Courtney Stodden is still trying to be a pop star — and has a new single to prove it. The 17-year-old, who’s married to 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison, released a new song today called ”Reality.”

With lyrics like “the moment our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat” and “I wanna dance tonight, till we lose control,” Stodden lays the sex appeal on thick … through some serious auto-tune. Read more…

7 Pop Songs From Our Youth That Were Actually Really Dirty

College CandyApril 19, 2012 //

In a not-really-surprising move, British boyband The Wanted has revealed that their song “Glad You Came” is about orgasms. Glad you came, get it? It seems awfully obvious when you think about it.

Being a boyband, The Wanted has a pretty young audience. A lot of their listeners are probably too young to pick up on the dirtier aspects of the song. What a surprise they’ll be in for in a few more years. This got us thinking back to the pop music from our childhood. Read more…

Support R&B History: Jodeci Is On Kickstarter, Guys

Julie GersteinMarch 23, 2012 //

Kickstarter, it’s a platform to help dudes make their shitty indie films, or help girls fund their life-affirming cross-country trips, or support bands’ quirky concept albums. But! Now! Kickstarter is also the platform of choice for ’90s smooth R&B jamz makers Jodeci. It seems Jodeci producer Dren aka Guerilla Hollywood has chosen to reach out to the fans for the band’s latest project, and is hoping to raise $25,00o for their new single. What do you get if you support? Well, all I’m going to say is that if you pledge $1,500 or more, you get to appear in the music video. I feel a tidal wave of wallets opening right about now.

Today In Ridiculous: Odd Future Calls Its Pop-Up Shop A “Sweatshop”

Julie GersteinMarch 22, 2012 //

Oh, Odd Future. Tyler the Creator, et al, love causing trouble and controversy. Last night, their show in Boston was shut down by the cops — but that’s not all! Their New York “pop-up shop” is still going strong. And in typical uninformed incendiary Odd Future fashion, they’re referring to it as “the sweatshop.” Because you know, sweatshop jokes are super duper funny. Keep reading »

First Listen: Susan Justice’s Kanye/Kelly Clarkson Remix

Meet my new obsession, Susan Justice. She’s the singer/guitarist behind this awesome mashup of Kanye West’s “Stronger,” Kelly Clarkson’s single of the same name, and her own song, “Eat Dirt.”  Eat Dirt is also the name of her upcoming album, out on Capitol/Kite Records on March 26, which I will be buying and playing on repeat. But I’m also obsessed with Susan’s story: she grew up as a member of the religious sect The Family, and spent her childhood on the road with her parents and siblings, performing as street musicians in the U.S. and in Europe. But The Family banned members from experiencing many aspects of mainstream culture, including the music Susan secretly came to love. Finally, she ditched her family and The Family and struck out on her own, performing in the New York City subway. From there, her star rose. So cool. [Susan Justice]

Paris Hilton’s New Song “Drunk Text” Is Worse Than You Thought

A few years ago, I was in LA for work and actually encountered Paris Hilton in the wild. I was at what I guess was a “hip” bar and she waltzed in with her entourage and settled in a booth at the back. She spent the entire two hours she was there texting on her Sidekick. I don’t think she made eye contact with anyone all night. That girl was clearly a texting addict! So it does not surprise me in the slightest that her new song — how excited are you?!?! — is all about texting. Keep reading »
