Singing Nun Covers Madonna's 'Like a Virgin'


You best believe I'm not wasting time capping an image of this video.

Say what?! I know, right! A lady of the cloth covering the Queen of Darkness' iconic hit just sounds wrong in every way! But wait, it actually kinda works- though admittedly in a creepy, strange way- if we imagine the touching part to be a metaphor of the spiritual sort and not a physical kind.

Google Glass Banks On A Transference Of Street Cred With FKA twigs Advert


New technology is something I usually embrace and welcome, but Google's computerised specs are a new innovation that I can't get behind no matter how hard I try (which admittedly isn't very).

I'm a glasses wearer in life, so you'd think Google would have me in the bag from the outset. After all they're offering me extra functionality for the lazy facial ornament I lug around on my flawless face. But Nope. I have a phone that does all the things Glass does, and I'm just fine with that. Call me a Luddite. I do not care...

Even scarier to me is how I'm aware of how irrational and unfounded this hate is, yet I can't seem to stem it! However, even my distaste for the eyewear wouldn't stop me from sharing the video they had FKA twigs direct for the product. It's just too good and I'm not that cruel.

Damn you Google and your transparent clever marketing!

[New Music] Gwen Stefani Returns With New Single, "Baby Don't Lie"



Anyone else remember Gwen Stefani saying she was done with the solo stuff? Wait, let me confirm this isn't me making up rumors again...Ok, here it is: No Doubt's Gwen Stefani: 'I never want to make another solo album' . I guess the exposure from being a judge on The Voice USA was too much of an opportunity not to capitalise on. Smart.

[Watch] Mariah Carey Practices Whistle Notes During Show Warm Up



Ever wondered how, or if even, Mariah Carey bothers warming up her voice anymore? Well the Diva's latest Instagram shines a little light on that very subject, today.

Sure, her practicing whistle notes with a bong humidifier looks more like a case of showing she still has it than being any real warm up, but who am I to argue with the clip's caption: "Cleaning and warming up my voice  #TheElusiveChanteuseShow". (I'll just assume all the "warming up" with scales and such took place pre-clip and this was the "cleaning" part.)

[Free For All Friday]



No words....just Gif...#Dead.

If you don't know the score, here be the rules:
  • Try not to get too perverted- this site needs to basically be "safe for work".
  • If somebody starts a controversial subject, try keeping it civil when dealing with it. If things get out of hand please flag the conversation.
  • It would be nice if it stuck to music, but it's not a requirement! So talk about news, current events, how you're getting your hair done next time you hit the hairdresser! Whateves, really!
  • No nasty comments aimed at other users.
Inappropriate hugs to all of y'all (hi-fives to the underagers), and wishing you an awesome weekend!

[Watch] Jessie J Rocks Dancing With The Stars



Yesterday I posted on US export, Taylor Swift, and her snoozefest of a showing at the X-Factor UK. (Remember that? I barely do, so don't beat yourself up if you don't.)

Today, in a reversal of sorts, I present a UK export- Ms.Jessie J- returning the favor and performing on US Show, Dancing With The Stars. Like yesterday, let me keep this post short and swift with a gif summation of this live medley of Bang Bang and Burnin' Up':

The Future Of Divas: Hatsune Miku



The future is here! Say hello to tomorrow's Diva, the computer generated Hatsune Miku.

Being billed as the world's first virtual pop star (The Gorillaz might have something to say about that), this anime-inspired monstrosity has already graced The Late Show stage with her holographic presence. And God help me, after a second listen, I'm actually getting into it....
