Girls Generation continue the slayage with "The Boys" on Live with Kelly!


After basically shutting that shit down on the Late Show with David Letterman, the girls returned this morning with another performance of "The Boys"on the Live with Kelly! show. The whole performance was kept shorter, there was no remix, but non-the-less, these hoes went all in and came out with wigs. The audience; bald!

I was impressed at how secure they seemed. No more nerves in sight, definitely an improvement over the Letterman performance. The choreography was on point, the singing was also good, besides Sunny fucking up her part, but I'm gonna let it slide.

After performing the shit out of "The Boys", and leaving Kelly Ripa with the wish to join SNSD, they went on to speak about how they became Girls Generation and went on about the auditioning process. Soon after that, they started showing Kelly and Howie Mandel some moves. Very entertaining, indeed.

I'm really proud of this girls, to be the first act to perform on late night television. A huge step for K-Pop and in general the Asian music scene. Congratulations!!

P.S.: They so need to get a performance on Ellen.

Watch Girls Generation slay America with "The Boys" on Letterman!


First, Wondergirls, then BoA and later on Utada Hikaru. Now it's Girls Generation's turn to debut on US television. The nine girls, made The Late Show with David Letterman  their first stop on their short US-promotion for The Boys.

I really have to say, they did an amazing job with this performance. There were of course some nerves in the beginning, but after the first verses they were able to shake them off. I was kind of disappointed with the camera work, those guys had no idea how to frame this girls. I guess they were completely overwhelmed by the amount of girls that where dancing, grinding and two-stepping. But they sure as hell, must have liked Sooyoung, she was all the time in the picture.

To the vocals, well it was 60% miming and the rest well Taeyeon. What also did piss me off: couldn't they have cleared the stage completely? Poor Sunny, almost crashed against the keyboard. But over all, they really  managed to deliver a good performance, leaving David Letterman in awe and the audience with a WTF face: "Whut? There's a choreography and they're not dressed like prostitutes or trannies?" YES, that's right.
Sorry, I had to throw some shade at Rihanna, Britney and Lady Gaga.

And might I add: #DEAD at the fanboys singing "GG". That just made my day. 

Girls Generation represent. Good job ladies, now all you need to do is slay Live with Kelly and book a performance on the Ellen Degeneres Show. To bad they're album The Boys sucks so much, they would have slayed with an English version of their Japanese debut album.



ANYWAY THEY SLAYED!

Lana Del Rey: Live on Saturday Night Live!


Last Saturday, Lana Del Rey made her US television debut as the musical guest on SNL. The 25 year old goddess, was one of the few people to be able to sing on the show before even releasing her debut album. The last singer to do that, was Natalie Imbruglia more than a decade ago. Well, I wished things would have come out better, but according to a lot of sources she bombed.

Was is her best performance? Definitely not. It definitely wasn't. But was it really that bad? I don't think so. In fact after re-watching the performance for several times, she had her moments where she really lost it but there were also moments that were all right. The main problem was that she really didn't have a clue whether she should sing in a higher register or go for the lower tones. Things got really awkward during the performance of "Blue Jeans".

My take on the whole disaster is basically, her label pushing her way to soon into the limelight. They should have never ever went for SNL. That show is a big f*ckin deal, even Lady Gaga did not perform there after one year later of her debut in October of 2009. We all know Lana's performances are pretty inconsistent, and she said it herself that she's not comfortable performing in front of a huge crowd. You could clearly tell that she was nervous, and those nerves got the best of her. She was struggling a lot and didn't quite know what to do, which obviously led to weird gestures, not being able to sing a note without warbling around, she simply knew that she was fucking things up and didn't make herself a favor by trying even harder. There we have it, she was simply trying way to hard to safe her ass.

I'm pretty pissed at the fact that she's getting such a backlash because of these two performances. We all know, she's truly an amazing singer/songwriter and if they would have only waited a bit longer to polish her stage presence and her singing this wouldn't have happened.

I guess people expect to much from her, she's got slow songs, there's not much she can do and she's no Adele she's got this soft personality and has this fragile thing to herself. It's all about the song and her standing there and singing. She's no Lady Gaga, there are no gimmicks, so I really don't get why people are slamming her like that.

All I can say is, people don't give up on her just yet, I'm so sure she's going to release a masterpiece of an album and she's going to have several chances to redeem this two performances. Just a week ago she shut that shit down on the Jonathan Ross Show. She can do this, she just needs to calm down and everything will be fine.

Lady Gaga performs "Marry the Night" (Thanksgiving special)


Lady Gaga revealed a performance for her newest single "Marry the night" for the special of  "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving".

I am surprised at how normal and may I even say how beautiful that Gaga is dressed lately. I don't know what it is, but I love the fact that for one she's got normal long ash-blond hair, with a nice outfit to combine that doesn't look like imported from the year of 2076. I just thought she could have left out the tiara and the earrings and replaced it with something more classic like pearls.

The vocals were on point, and I loved the new add-lips she used at the end of the song (my fave part). I really have to say, she might be a hot mess sometimes, and she might have over-saturated the market over the last 3 years but a hoe can't deny that she has true talent, knows how to entertain and girl can fuckin' saaang!!!

The whole thing aired a couple of hours ago, so we soon shall receive mother monsters blessing through  a lot of uploaded videos.

Take a look at the performance:

Watch Christina Aguilera perform "Moves like Jagger" at AMA's 2011


Y'all know I love me some Christina Aguilera, and I was happy once she stepped out to the stage and showed Adam how to drop some solid vocals in comparison to his whiny singing, that is cringe-worthy and comparable to the sound that Kim Kardashian makes, while choking on Ray J's dick.

Xtina's singing was on point, all though the last note after the song ended was pretty much irrelevant. Did you all notice how everytime she has a performance she keeps on streching the note, eventhough the song already ended? It's like she's scared this might be her last performance ever and she wants to enjoy every last second of it. We know your career tanked, but...can somebody say desperate?!

Jennifer Lopez obliterated all your faves at the AMA's 2011


Okay, you know shit is off at the AMA's if Jennifer Lopez is the highlight of the show. Actually, it's kinda tragic...but I don't want to throw shade at Miss Lopez, cuz this milf was hustlin', bitch wants to get paid. She was waving at them pay check's from FIAT, that's why she brought the car along for the performance. This woman is not dumb.
This just leads me to the fact, that there's NO reason for Rihanna, Britney amd Katy to be giving these half arsed stale performances that are dryer than a two year old Xmas cookie, when J.Lo is out there shaking that ass like the rent was due yesterday! She did that shit. Point. Blank. PERIOD.

I'm not even a J.Ho stan but I gotta give credit, where credit is due. I really hope this motiviates  all the lesser (but better selling) girls. This girls (minus Bee and Gaga) are just lazy as fuck. I was laughing my ass of the other night, when I watched Rihanna's interview at the Ellen show. Bitch was lying, was claiming she would put in 150% into her work, if so, why are her vocals so bad, why is her album only average, and why is there no choreography to speak off in her videos? Rihanna needs to take some notes from Kumi, her discography might be an inconsistent mess, but she knows how to perform.

Edit: Is Pitbull sporting an erection? Jeez, it was just yesterday I watched "Anaconda: The hunt for the blood orchid." What a coincidence.
