I had to wait so long till i could post this cause up until now I hadn't heard the whole thing.
Whatev. I already knew it was fabulous. I have psychic music powers like Rolling Stone (who reviewed the new Counting Crows album before they heard it...)
Before I type anything here I would like to remind everyone that there really isn't such a thing as a good American "pop female artist." Beyonce lost me when she came out with that song about doing a Naomi Campbell walk and Kelly Clarkson sucks (her latest album finally reflects her true talent)
No, all we have is prego XTINA and CRAZY b spears. And Madonna is British apparently.
So get ready to experience the awesomeness of the BEST SINGLE OF THE YEAR so far...
60s70s80s
okay i'm saying so far but i really mean probably. c'mon nothing toped her album PLAY last year, but that's another story.
today the PV for What a Feelin FINALLY aired on mtv. So now I actually know what all three songs sound like.
weirdly enough, this single is a COVER single. but don't get me wrong, this is what a COVER should be :)
1st Track
60s -New Look

This song covers "Baby Love" by The Supremes. It's my 2nd favorite track, because the pv is SO well shot. It was shot back in July I believe.
In case you couldn't tell, this single and all 3 A-SIDES are part of a massive ad campaign with Vidal Sassoon. Good thing, because Namie has the most fabulous hair in the universe.
2nd Track
70s -Rock Steady
Online Videos by Veoh.com
This song covers Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady"
This track is kinda "meh" for me. I like the song, but the PV is all kinds of stupid. Caucasian extras in Japan = most horrible actors in the world. And it really makes me mad when people talk in PVs anyways.
3rd Track
80s -What a Feelin
Online Videos by Veoh.com
This song covers Irene Cara's "What a Feelin"
Flash Dance anyone??
No one else can pull off 80s hair that good :)
This one has less of a story than the other two, but it is ultimately my favorite because it's FABULOUZZZ BB. And it has a Robot/Namie dance off.
Robots: 1 Namie: 0
SO neways check these out, they are really cool :) and WHAT A FEELIN video is extra good quality cause I uploaded it myself :) your welcome.
And sad news. But exciting news first!
No more Castro! - Oh wait, that's right his brother or something is next up to bat. But wait! There is happy news!
Arashi's new single Step and Go totally kicks butt the first day of sales! Nearly 200.000! Watch the PV for extreme matsujun hotness and clever design! And Nino wearing a really gay cape! It's okay Nino, I could care less.
Oh and I guess now with these first day sales alone Arashi is Number 2 for 2008 yearly oricon record. HAHA way to suck other various 08 releases.
SAD news:
Hikaru Utada's awesome new single HEART STATION/ Stay Gold only sells 4.000 at the number 2 slot :( Hopefully
Funny news:
Edison Chen is going to die. Whether he kills himself or is murdered is now irrelevant. Right now there is a half a million bid from the Triad on his right hand. And currently he is top secret hiding in Boston. So if you need some cash...
Hey, Edy, it is a bad idea to take your pink laptop in for repairs when it has 1500 pictures of you and various other celebrities (one of which was underage + a daughter of a triad leader) having sex/naked.
And now Nicholas Tse is getting a a divorce. I would too if my wife was whoring it up with gangsta Eddy Chen.
Major props to the genius hackers Kira that uploaded the pictures systematically :) I know I should be enraged that those girls LIVES are ruined but really, why did they trust that douche Chen?
And if you have no idea what I'm speaking about, it has now been brought to your attention that the HK entertainment world is currently under going APOCALYPSE because of the above stated.
And in not really so new NEWS:
Rain is gonna be in his own US movie! Ninja Assassin. Sounds douchey rain, best not back out though.
The Taiyou no Namida costumes seriously suck! And no, I am never getting over it. And they actually hurt my feelings a bit.
but whatev here is some funny celeb news that will crack you up:
Japanese pop diva koda kumi (see photo [and though you can't see in the photo that fork is bejeweled ~ freakin sweet])
man people were freakin out XD
but when she shoves a bottle in her crotch (umm just youtube the words "koda kumi cherry girl juicy" and watch her PVs cherry girl and JUICY to get the general idea. honestly, britney spears will never phase you again~! but hey what can i say i'm a fan of koda's strange whore act/cute act), and also simulates sex on stage no one complains in the slightest XD REALLY LIKE KODA KUMI IS A DOCTOR??
well it hit her pretty hard in the following 24 hours her site has been stripped down to the minimum and her endorsers dropped her promotional performances.
in short the promotion for her new album is over after one week. hopefully they won't pull it from shelves :0
sad it's one sick album.
but importantly i just wanna say i feel good for whoever was offended...to worry what an idol thinks of your vag means you must have a pretty easy life bb.
