Britney Spears, ‘Criminal’ Song Review

Posted on September 14, 2011 | Comments Off on Britney Spears, ‘Criminal’ Song Review

Read my song review of the latest from Britney Spears, ‘Criminal.’

Brit’s voice is heavily auto-tuned and studio-treated, as she delivers her lines in a monotone, robotic fashion. It’s almost as though she is devoid of emotion, trying to convince herself that getting tangled up with a “criminal” isn’t a bad idea. We don’t think she means a literal criminal, either. Read between the lines; the message is there. She likes bad boys.

Read my post on Lady Gaga’s new video, ‘You & I.’

The video invokes more questions than it answers, but it’s visually captivating and is a thrilling storyline.

Selena Gomez, ‘When the Sun Goes Down’ Album Review

Posted on June 28, 2011 | Comments Off on Selena Gomez, ‘When the Sun Goes Down’ Album Review

Read my review of the new album from Selena Gomez, ‘When the Sun Goes Down,’ over at Pop Crush. And you know I had to sneak in a metal reference!

We’d like to point out that two songs on the album share titles with Metallica songs (‘Hit the Lights’ and ‘Whiplash’), but that’s about as rock as this standard issue of pop gets.

Lady Gaga Performs ‘The Edge of Glory’ at 2011 MuchMusicAwards

Posted on June 19, 2011 | Comments Off on Lady Gaga Performs ‘The Edge of Glory’ at 2011 MuchMusicAwards

Lady Gaga performed ‘The Edge of Glory’ at the 2011 MuchMusic Awards.

Gaga’s performance tonight was incredibly and artistically similar to the video, which she premiered this past Thursday. Her stage set up was that of a fire escape in an urban landscape where she danced the night away. She performed in a couture black catsuit, studded and encrusted with jewels, as well as the turquoise blunt bobbed wig that she has been sporting as of late and which she wore to the CFDAs.

Lady Gaga, ‘You and I’ Song Review

Posted on May 19, 2011 | Comments Off on Lady Gaga, ‘You and I’ Song Review

I reviewed the latest single from Lady Gaga, ‘You and I.’

Overall, Gaga’s voice, guitar riffs and keyboards take center stage in the song, and in that order and ‘You and I’ is satisfying slice of Gaga-gone-rock-opera.

Here’s a new post on ‘The Best In Purple Lip Products.’

Dreamy, soft purples get plenty of real estate from Chanel. The Summer Plum Glossimer is a pinky plum infused with shimmer. Lilac Sky Crème Lipstick is a mauvey lavender, and the silky Surprise from the company’s Luminous Satin lipstick line, glides on like a balm, and coats lips in a kissable, feminine, lilac sheen.
