What is THIS?!
I was obsessed with American Idol Season 3 way back in the day (first season I watched), and fondly remember playing the hell out of the compilation CD. One of its standout tracks was from the 17 year-old girl who got sent home the first week of the finals, Leah LaBelle...
Fast-forward to today and she's signed to a major label and released her first music video last month. She sounds great as ever! This is what pop music sounds like.
Youtube: Leah LaBelle - Sexify
Could she end up being more successful than Fantasia too? Cameo appearances by Pharrell, Jermaine Dupri, and JoJo (guess she's too busy showing up in videos to release her album).

LEAH LABELLE!
I stanned so hard for her in season 3. She was outclassed vocally by the divas that season, but she had such a chill, urban voice. Like Keisha Cole or a young Mary J Blige. Voted off way too early. Glad to see she's doing some things, and the song AIN'T bad.
Just one more reason that Season 3 was the best season when it comes to female contestants.
It was Fanny.

I thought that Leah song was R&B 101 and not in a good way. However this is the more pressing issue: we're my Jojo album?
Although, honestly, I think season 3 is the only season where I at least respected all the female vocalists. They were ALL good. Such a flawless season,
Stuck in litigation hell. Apparently her old label is causing problems...again. I think Kyon has the full tea on this.
Which is a shame, because she's an amazing vocalist. And creative to boot.
"In The Dark" STILL slays me, with its Madonna/Erotica teas...

lol, those animal cruelty/rescue/whatever commercials really ruined Sarah' best work for me. I can't listen to "Angel" the same.
But do you How to Touch A Girl?
Thanks to one of my Eternal faves, the LEGENDARY TEENA MARIE:
Where are the flaws???
Isn't what Blackground is doing to JoJo illegal?
This track was so amazing when it came out and its even better now. Just damn. Too bad the mixtape was so boring and this was the only good song IMO.

I was with you up until you called the whole season flawless. The male talent was a full-blown disaster. But if we just pretend they weren't there (and America did the same with an all-girl Top 4), then we're good.
I think it has something to do with the fact that she's currently got some sort of record deal with three different labels. It's a damn shame, she ought to be a star with all the talent she possesses instead of fighting legal legal battles just to release her music at all.

Aw, totally missed the Christina/feminism discussion on here, and by a long shot. Ah well.
Today I listened to:
- Monster, Lady Gaga
- Girl Gone Wild, Madonna
- Some Nights, Fun. (ie. the revival of Queen)
- Talk That Talk, Rihanna (ironically with my friends in the car)
- Mercy on Me, Christina Aguilera
- Inside Out, Britney Spears (hate the verses but the chorus is rad)
- You and I, Lady Gaga
- I Hate Boys, Christina Aguilera

So i dont have the ENERGY or CARE in the world but apparently Drake and CB threw bottles @ eachother at a club last night. Then apparently went to twitter right after.... SMH you know what just here i just cant with the mess.
No real receipts were even given tho so..... Still regardless we all know this had everything to do with Rih, if it happened. i dont even want to talk about how stupid this is because it just ends up being the same damn convo everyday.
Idek why Rih stay on those dicks but whatever.

Loreen confirms the making of music video for "Euphoria"

popgaf look what you made me do
Kyon I can't get over how much I love you...
Also some glamour shots of the girl:
Her look was totally different when she competed on Idol 2004:
After she won Melodifestivalen and became Sweden's representative to the Eurovision Song Contest, some fans made a video chronicling her time on Idol and Melodifestivalen, "Loreen - från Idol 2004 till Melodifestivalen 2012 till Eurovision Song Contest 2012". The dialogue in the video is in Swedish, obviously, but you can skip around and watch her butcher some American pop classics on Idol!

LOL @ that Vogue Italia article. The luxury cars speeding away - very Mr Burns.
Just got back from the Born This Way Ball. GET HYPED.
Hair was fantastic, weird given it's one of those songs of hers I'm not a big fan of - it had a great build. I won't ruin anything of the rest of the show for people.. but Scheiße was fucking epic, and that video we saw before is not at all fair to it. Fuck it was so good! Show had great pacing and it really had more of a knowing sense of humour than the Monster Ball. She's having fun and it shows. And DAT VOICE.
There's something really likeable about Lady Gaga when she's playing live - obviously some of her stage 'banter' is kinda scripted in places but when it's not, is when she shines the most. She was really hilarious at times tonight.. crowd loved her.
I wanna go again. *pout*

Twitter dragging Drake for hiding in a bathroom during the 'fight':
Twitter dragging is my favorite new trend.

Noone needs to see that. I'm sick.

I probably infected some little monsters with a cold.

ANY TIPS or RECOMMENDATIONS JULLS?
Were you in the pit?
>_>
Actually if you weren't, was that a bit shit? The way the stage is shaped makes me think if you're standing and not in the pit that things might be a little bit hard to see or at least less than ideal. My Melbourne show will definitely be outside of the Pit but when I go in Perth it will probably be in it.

Nah, no pit for me. Though obviously that'd be the best place to be. If you're not in there, the front centre of the walkway into the crowd is where she was spending most of her time when she wasn't on the main stage. Some songs
LoveGame, Telephone, most of Marry the Night
Kermit suit
We could still see most of it pretty well, we were about 4-5 people back from the main circular walkway thing. I'm 5'7 so not exactly tall

Tickets are still on sale for various dates, I see. Tempting...
Can't sell out arenas in Australia?

Didn't hear her say anything like that about new album...
There was a lot of "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" etc, etc... but nothing about new albums.
On that note my mate interviewed Lady Starlight this week and she mentioned having heard the album in full but obviously wouldn't elaborate. Isn't it out in September or something? Her stage show was... interesting. Some of the music was cool but it was sorta Kate Bush interpretive dance style stuff with weird costumes. Still, she was only on for like 20 minutes.

Thank fuck. I watched a bit of Starlight and it looked less than interesting. I kind of feel bad for her but oh well, what can you do =P

I suppose that's all that matters.
I doubt she would announce stuff about her new album until the end of her Australia leg if she were going to even do such a thing. I am doubtful anything will get announced though to be quite honest.

so this is really her thing now huh
I am loving this Rihanna Telenovela, cant wait for one of those two to get her pregnant and end her career
RIGHT!? As my ghetto-ass cousins would say, "Rihanna must got that Good Gushy Gushy."
Got Chris Brown and Drake sprung and PRESSEDT all damn day! This is embarrassing for them, hilarious for her.
I'm going to need her to stop fucking around with no-names tho. She's ballin' when she's got popular dudes like Bruises and Drake making fools out of themselves for her. But being linked to Meek Mill??
NOT A GOOD LOOK, RIH!
If I was Rihanna do you know how much A-List celeb diq I'd be getting right now? Rihanna: Channing Tatum! Idris Elba. Not no DAMN Meek Mill and The Game!
I just can't...
