US Weekly is reporting that Pharell Williams is in negotiations to be the third judge for the upcoming season of American Idol. I PRAY to the reality show Gods that this actually happens! Pharell is beyond gorgeous and cool and awesome and would make an awesome judge. He’s been in the music biz forever, he’s an amazing producer… he would bring a realness to the show. I hope they cast him!!!

(Nick Jonas is also rumored to be in negotiations. That would be the most boring judge ever. Please dont let them choose him)

If someone asked me who I wanted to be when I grow up it would definitely be Jennifer Lopez. Like seriously?!?! Can you be any more flawless?? Her new music video for “Going In” dropped today and once again she looks a-mazing. She’s almost 20 years older than me and has way better abs that I do. Redic.

I realized as I watched this video that there aren’t a lot of hot, flawless female pop stars right now who can dance, sing and be beautiful. Back in the day we had Britney, Xtina, Jessica Simpson… all hot girls who brought their A-game to every music video. Now female pop stars are all about looking the craziest. And none of them dance! (Well except Gaga but sheesh… her videos are just exhausting to watch) Thankfully JLo is still rocking the right elements. Love her.

My new jam of the month. Seriously love this song right now! And the music video is just as good. Cher Lloyd is from UK’s X-Factor and you just can’t get cooler or cuter than her. Listen!

Want you back by Cher Lloyd “UK Version”…. ENJOY!!

I kind of feared that Carly Rae Jepsen would turn into a one hit wonder. I mean, you don’t have a hit single like “Call Me Maybe” that takes the world by storm, and not become a one hit wonder. But her newest music video and song “Good Time” has me thinking twice. This song is fun and catchy. I’m loving it! I hope it gets the attention it deserves!

Check out Carly’s new music video for “Good Time” featuring Owl City. It’s no Call Me Maybe but it has potential! It makes me want to have a good time!

UPDATE:: THIS IS NOT CARLY RAE JEPSEN’S NEW SONG. IT’S OWL CITY’S SONG FEATURING CARLY. EITHER WAY…IT’S A GOOD JAM. 🙂

We all know that NSync’s “Girlfriend” and Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend” have a lot in common. Not only are the lyrics similar but the music videos are too!
Well thank goodness some guy named Raheem D decided to do a mashup of the two songs and it turned out LEGIT.

So good. The two songs and the even the music videos go perfectly together.
Can I download this on iTunes??? Take a listen. Can’t get better than that… (well in my world anyway ha)

I remember when I was blogging for an entertainment media website back in February and one of my assignments was to blog about Gotye’s new music video for “Easy Way Out.” I had NEVER heard of this guy. I wasn’t sure if Gotye was a band or just one guy and like many of us, I didn’t even know how to pronounce his name. I immediately did as much research as I could on him so my blog would sound somewhat credible and gave a pretty generic review of his new video.

Mind you, Easy Way Out came out 9+ months AFTER his video for “Somebody That I Used To Know” came out. Then shortly after, out of nowhere, “Somebody That I Used To Know” blew up on all the radio stations and we couldn’t stop hearing it if we tried. Long story short, this hilarious youtube video made me think of that blog. And I laugh because we’ve all been these guys whether we wanted to be or not. Watch.

Demi Lovato surprised the audience when she brought out Nick Jonas to sing with her on stage at The Greek last night. Sooooo fun! I want to be there! I love all of Demi’s music. I really do. “Catch me” and “Dont Forget” are two of my favorite songs by her and it’s great to see her perform them with Nick.

Watch above. Seriously, she is so talented. Great to hear live. And Nick is hot on the guitar!

Back when I was a super-fan of NSYNC and Britney Spears… the opportunity to make youtube videos like this did not exist. The closest I could get was to watch the recording of a music video or live performance on my vhs, rewind it multiple times and teach myself the choreography. And if my friends would put up with it, I’d perform it at every social gathering I could.

But now, we have super-fans that can take a music video and recreate it shot by shot to absolute perfection. This kid who made his own version of Beyonce’s video for “Countown” is beyond amazing. Every shot is basically identical. You must watch above. And if you want to see just his video, without the side by side, you can watch it here.
