POP MUSIC 2013: does your fav even have a #1 hit?

[HoennMaster]

Well The Dutchess was a good album so hopefully she can produce that success again.

Meanwhile, the two new X Factor US judges were revealed today: Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio. Indifferent to Kelly, but Paulina? Really!?

I'm happy about Kelly because I've heard good thinks about her as a judge. But I had to look up Paulina to find out who she was, and even after that I still barely know who she is. The one good sign of her being hired is that the X Factor has stopped caring about hiring judges just for their big names and huge buckets of fame. Regardless of whether you like or dislike Britney as an artist, it would be plain ignorant to deny the fact that she was totally inept at being a judge and that she was hired purely because she's the famous Britney Spears. So I could just be overly optimistic, but maybe if the X Factor is willing to hire a fairly unknown artist, her judging talent could be pretty good.

Who's she??

I'm happy for Kelly though .

you know what guys? she's a Latina star! okay? LATINA! STAR! ESTRELLA LATINA! anyone in the Spanish community has heard of her. I'll admit, I don't know much about her, but I'm aware of her existence

On the live shows yes, but she did fine at the auditions and she was great as a mentor behind the scenes.

Well I mean, the auditions and the live shows are completely different. The auditions aren't filmed live, which means things can be re-shot and people can be told to say different things. All I'm saying is the sudden jump from her comments/critiques being good in the auditions to being intolerable in the live shows makes it seem like somebody was helping her during the auditions...

But I do think she was a good mentor (in fact, I never said she wasn't). She knew her contestants well from the start and she was usually spot on with song choices for them. But being a mentor is only half the job, and if an unknown name outside of the Spanish community can do the full job better than Britney can, I'm fine with not knowing the 4th judge.

Really? Kelly Rowland is now on the US X factor. That really is a surprise, as she was on the UK version a year or two back. Hopefully she does a good job in the US as she she really did in the UK. Dont know Paula Rubio though. (Will google)

[HoennMaster]

I don't have anything against Paulina, I just think she's kind of an out there choice, just like Cheryl (event hough I love Cheeza).


Aso, it looks like True Love will be Pink's next single. I love this song and can't wait for a video, but be brave Pink! I want a video for **** Like You!

Studio version of Grown Woman:



A lot of fans were disappointed with this but I really like it.

Young & Beautiful is amazing and one of the best songs she's ever done. It's perfect for the film (and used wonderfully in the film), and it's just a wonderful song in general. I hope it makes Lana a more mainstream success and restores some of the cred she had pre-SNL

I don't think Lana Del Rey being embraced by America is ever going to happen

I just hope it won't flop like Everybody dance now did here (Channel 10 having low ratings all the time + the olympics didn't help)

I don't think Lana Del Rey being embraced by America is ever going to happen

I think she is a bit popular with alt radio but I don't see her becoming the next adele or Duffy.
