pop dis: alicia keys, kanye west, nicole scherzinger, taio cruz, sugababes

though the following acts have produced underwhelming content (whether musically or visually), i want it on record that i'm actually a fan and just want them to do better!


[now that you've seen the misguided video (i mean, c'mon, a shot of a watch when she sings 'time'!), check out the fabulous live performance at the VMA's a few weeks back...]


alicia keys - no one [link 2]
[it actually took this performance above that convinced me how much i really liked this song. this also proves that alicia is a far better live artist than a video one.


kanye west feat t-pain - good life [link 2]
[how commercial does it have to get? well in the case of kanye, bringing the lame vocoder stylings of hitmaker t-pain is the ingredient for success. am i the only person not into his latest album graduation?]


nicole scherzinger feat will.i.am - baby love [link 2]
[simplistic melody, middle of the road sentiments, do YOU think head pussycat doll nicole scherzinger is doing a good job of going solo? this video just makes me want to go to the beach, NOT listen to the song. all i can say is release the neyo penned 'sway' already.]


taio cruz - moving on [link 2]
[trying so hard to be the 'next' neyo, uk artist taio cruz has shamelessly released two tracks that sound like tossed aside demos of the 'ney-ster'. how do you spell bland? apparent with a 't' and ending in an 'o'.]


sugababes - about you now [link 2]
[how shiteous can a video be? the yellow outfits, the lame guy jumping over everything, the mediocre pop song. where is the edge that we loved about this group? bring them back!]
