[katstevens.livejournal.com]

So close! But Wyclef beat Andrew WK by one vote (not mine!). However even if pop-metal is not represented in the finals it is clearly made an impact on all your hearts etc.

Back to the heats now, and this penultimate bunch of 2001 features up-and-coming young guns Janet Jackson, Snoop Dogg and the Manic Street Preachers. It's heat #7!

[Poll #1448661]


Cheeky edit: this is probably a good juncture to point out that it is POPTIMISM on Friday! Details here.

Oh how annoying I had a reply and it vanished.

Anyway yes thanks - might post the pop mix on Tumblr, it is a mess!

The ending was as upbeat as I could make it: I think Gaga has sort of cracked everything about being a successful, media-relevant pop star EXCEPT the "making amazing music" part, and the fact that she's so successful without that is kind of miserable but perhaps not unexpected (there have been pop stars w/o amazing music before, and will be again). I mean, her latest thing of doing a special "monster edition" of her album so she can dress up as vampires etc - I really like that, the implicit acknowledgement that nobody's buying CDs so why not do silly limited editions for publicity. But the music is for the most part feeble (very difficult to pick a track for the spotify list).
