Meanwhile, on the Hoar-Pop front...

Have we talked about Lady GaGa here? Some kinda connection to the Pussycat Dolls, included in the Scherzinger-blitz marketing campaign that Idolator linked to today via a PCD fansite (Girlicious is also part of the package, shocker). Video makes it seem like someone switched the right "I Kissed a Girl" video for a PG-rated one at the last minute.

The song.....yeeeeeah. Not great, pretty standard issue 4/4-pop, Lady G sort of alternates between showy Xtina brass and Katy Perry-esque alto-angst. "Shut my Playboy mouth" moment is pretty gross. Wiki sez she claims credit for a few Britney tracks -- not sure if they're talking about "Blackout" (doesn't appear to be featured there) or the album she just announced she was making.

[EDIT: PS, for moar hoars and even a few non-hoars, check out the accompanying mix to a guest post I just wrote, which you can download here. Started life as a Muxtape, but they're currently dealing with RIAA issues.]

We all have issues with the RIAA. (Seriously, on the one hand I can't see how muxtape can claim that the overwhelming number of songs posted are in violation of copyright. On the other, I wonder what leverage the RIAA has to make muxtape do anything about it.)

That is, can't see how muxtape can claim that the overwhelming number of songs AREN'T in violation of copyright, that is.

Remember Jimmy was cherishing Miss Norway's inept dancing to Lady Gaga in the Miss Universe swimsuit competition?

I think the song is wonderful but that Gaga's singing is too heavy and harsh, so the track doesn't quite take me over the top.

Congratulations to Miss Venezuela.

The nuances of swimsuit competition judging elude me.

I wonder where all the poptimists have gone. Not just today, but this year.

I don't blame them for not having loads to say about Lady Gaga, of course.
