Remember when Amy Winehouse was known by people in the know but she wasn't mainstream yet? When she didn't have a Britney-like bank account and wasn't parodied everywhere under the sun? Ahh yeah, that sweet little time when you discover a UK artist that's talented and charismatic but that's still struggling in that weird area between bar gigs and being on Mtv...
Well, that's exactly where Esser is right now, with only a very cheap and very funny first video, and another more recent and 'professional', he distills charisma and opportunity. He'll get big in the Uk soon, then with the second album he'll get really big everywhere. Just a personal guess. Or a bet.
G, sometimes you put all the ingredients but the meal doesn't come out as you expected... Anyway, it's such a great video reflecting in a smart way all there is to the pop of this decade, a la Rihanna if you want, but here Brandy is so great embracing her own personality and particular beauty than it doesn't seem like a pre-cooked hit, call it charisma.
Oh and the guy is the beautifulest shit I've ever seen. It touches me!
The Diva finally got it, there's life beyond squeezing in a glittering sausage dress and shaking and rumbling! And the results were obviously quite epic. Did she hire a proper stylist?
Oh and of course I love the stolen song If I Were A Boy, who doesn't right?
OK she did it. If it wasn't gonna be with the making fun of the gays it would have to be with the lesbian kissing, much sexier! Controversy works like a charm for musicians, ask Amy Winehouse!
It just funnies me that it's controversial that this pretty 20 something celebrity wannabe christian girl kissed another female on the lips. Uhmm people, there are millions of lesbians who kiss and fuck over and over every day of the year (the lucky ones that is). But yeah this Katy Perry girl is pretty and wears cute stuff so let's make her bigger than the Beatles.
Ugh, sometimes being number 1 is just so fucking easy.
There's a time in the life of a man when you discover you're life starting that moment will never be the same and there's nothing you can do about it. Everything you know, everything people think about you, you're whole world is staggering and the epicenter is your mirror. Where there should be an Amazon there's barely a Martha Stewart garden.
Discovering that unlike George Clooney, Brad Pitt and every other star passed 40 (because you can't be a star if you're bald in case you hadn't noticed) you'll join the select and feared group of light haired men is a traumatizing experience for the straight men, it's a heart-breaking moment for the gays, and a suicide detonator for the bottom fellows.
I stay strong. Bouquets can be sent to my mail. I'll be listening to this song imagining that instead of "When I grow up" it says "When I go bald" and talks about fun and fabulous things that happen when that time arrives.
As I hoped, when I came back from the gym last night Madonna's new video was already up on Dailymotion (another YouTube), luckily the internet runs fast so I got my fix, I went deaf as I listened to it as loud as I could with my big headphones on, I jumped on my chair, and I was late to work cause I spent so much time looking for it. Today I found it at Megavideo cause in Dailymotion they're constantly deleting it whenever they upload it again [Update: I've found a better version of the video than the Megavideo one]. I'm not gonna say anything about the video, just watch it and love it or hate it. No, just love it and jump on your chair and go deaf like me!

I'm telling you, that Madonna is torturing me! I read that the video for 4 minutes is out for purchase on iTunes already starting today and I've seen a little piece of it and I'm burning inside, I can't wait! Here in my beloved hot España olé we have no music videos in our iTunes cause Apple don't care about no Spaniards, so even though I'm so desperate I'd pay those damn 2,5 euros I'm not able to, I'm trapped!, and I've searched trough all the corners of the cyberspace looking for the illegal thing and nothing, geezz this is the internet and this is Madonna, hello?
The snippet on iTunes is even hotter, but you get the idea. Well I'm off to the gym to get hot as a panther, it better be somewhere when I comeback. Hackers, work! Is it legal to encourage hackers?
Look at the Billboard Hot 100 chart and you'll find the biggest pieces of shit that could be thrown at your ears, alongside some nice things, and now I learned that something as amazing (by commercial pop standards) as "Outta My Head" didn't even reach to perform in it. I know it was a risky bet by Ashlee Simpson, sporting a new alternative edgy vibe, but I thought people would get it and make it successful, but no, they're happy with their Carrie Underwood and they stick to it. Anyway, here's the video, $1 to the one who finds a better one among the current Top 10.
Now she's releasing a new unexciting boring lame pop rock song to second try and probably will be successful.
That's the name of the band I'm obsessed with right now. It started as a Gorillaz type of band, meaning the singer and producer didn't ever show, with a fake band of 5 facing the videos, but in the latest video (below) he shows and sings, and the whole thing is more mature, dropping the uber naive mood of the previous ones, which I loved, but I love the new style as well. I rarely like Spanish music but this is one of those honorable exceptions, pity is if you don't understand the language you can't notice the fantastic use of words. It may look like it's all hoo hoo happy and silly, but the the songs are really beautifully composed and the guy really has a remarkable talent that keeps surprising me in every listen.
