Blog: We Are Pop Slags

We're not massive fans of Duffy 's 'Well Well Well' return, but seeing it performed with the Strictly Come Dancing team certainly made it a bit more enjoyable. Click here to view the embedded video. ' Well Well Well ' is out now, with the album 'Endlessly' following next Monday (29th November.)

Nothing brings the big guns out quite like a charity appeal, and last night's Children In Need was no exception - Cheryl Cole, Take That, JLS, Kylie, Alexandra Burke, Westlife, The Saturdays, JLS, Susan Boyle, Pixie Lott and Peter Andre were just some of the artists who showed up for the kids. BTW - if you enjoy any of these performances, the least you can do is donate a few quid . Cheryl Cole 'Promise This' - complete with amazing new acoustic intro, loving this more than her X Factor performance: [...]

One might have assumed that Kelis ' 'Flesh Tone' era was officially over, but the vids keep coming. The latest is an extremely simple affair - just Kelis singing against a white backdrop - but the fact it was shot by posho celeb pap Rankin makes us think it wasn't exactly a budget job. You never know though - maybe she got a 2-4-1 deal after he did the ' Fireworks (4th of July) ' video. Here's the 'Brave' video, anywho:

The utterly marvellous Kylie has unleashed her ' Better Than Today ' video upon the world - huzzah! (You might have noticed that we quite like Kylie.) The clip is a super-polished re-tread of her recent X Factor performance , and was directed by both Kylie and long-term creative collaborater William Baker. She looks ridiculously amazing, and seems to be having the time of her life. Love. It. Ch-check it out, kids: Click here to view the embedded video. [...]

We intended to post this yesterday - bad WAPS - but listening to My Chemical Romance 's not-bad new album ' Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys ' this morning jogged us into action. So without further ado, here is the video for new MCR single ' Sing ': Click here to view the embedded video. ' Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys ' is released on Monday (22nd Nov).

A rather lovely and somewhat unexpected video for Kesha 's ' Stephen ' has popped up online this morning, and according to WAPS reader remonkrk009 the clip is to be used as a backdrop for Kesha's forthcoming tour. Have a squizz below, if you fancy: Click here to view the embedded video.

If, like the rest of the country, you tuned into the first episode of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here and found yourself screaming "who in the name of suffering fuck is Aggro Santos and how dare he use 'popstar' as his job description?", you'll be hugely relieved to learn that he's got a new video out featuring the lovely Kimberley Walsh of Girls Aloud fame. It's called ' Like U Like ': Click here to view the embedded video. [...]

Arcade Fire needed to pull something pretty impressive out of the bag in order to beat their last video, the interactive, Google-powered ' We Used To Wait ' - and as luck would have it, they just happened to have visionary director Spike Jonze on speed dial. The man behind legendary music videos for Weezer (' Buddy Holly ', ' Island In The Sun '), Bjork (' It's Oh So Quiet '), Daft Punk (' Da Funk '), Fatboy Slim (' Weapon of Choice ', ' Praise [...]

A video for the Kylie-fied remix of Taio Cruz 's ' Higher ' has hit the net - catch it below before it disappears! The track will appear on the Australian edition of Taio's 'Rokstarr' album. Click here to view the embedded video.

Wynter Gordon has released a second video for her ' Dirty Talk ' single. It's quite similar to her 'Believer' video with Freemasons, but it's a definite improvement on the original. Click here to view the embedded video. Wynter Gordon's 'The First Dance' EP is out now.

After releasing a short preview earlier this week, the newly double-ii'd Ameriie has unveiled her new single ' Outside Your Body ' in all its glory. Ameriie has ditched the old skool r&b vibes in exchange for a hi-NRG sound popular in southeast Asia. She's embracing her Korean roots and can even be heard singing a few lines in the local language. 'Outside Your Body' is the first single from Ameriie's forthcoming album Cymatika Volume 1 , expected next year.

Things are gearing up in Nicki Minaj world; her debut album Pink Friday is somewhat inevitably 'out there' in leaked form, and gets an official release on Monday (22nd Nov). The pop-leaning record is said to have surprised fans expecting a more aggressive sound, but we're sure we haven't seen the last of Minaj's hip hop persona just yet. Watch Nicki performing her single ' Right Thru Me ' on Wendy Williams below: Click here to view the embedded video.

For a girl who recently professed to being 'over' her trademark electro sound, La Roux 's Elly Jackson sure did pick an '80s sounding group to collaborate with. She's all over the remix of Chromeo's new single 'Hot Mess', which is typical of their mildly ironic electro-funk sound. Listen to 'Hot Mess' ft Elly below (warning - contains annoying Radio 1 tags): Click here to view the embedded video. 'Hot Mess' is taken from Chromeo's third album 'Business Casual'. Watch the [...]

We're not sure if anyone still cares about Flo Rida , but we thought it was interesting/sacrilegious that he's sampled Yello's 'Oh Yeah!' classic at the same time as will.i.am's Buggles -sampling on ' Check It Out '. Apparently music has run out of ideas. Here's Flo's ' Turn Around (5,4,3,2,1) ' video, anyway: Click here to view the embedded video.

Forget Duffy , everyone's new obsession is Adele 's long-awaited return. The smoky-voiced Londoner unveiled a video for new single ' Rolling In The Deep ' earlier this week, and last night took to the Later stage to perform gorgeous new balled ' Someone like You '. Click here to view the embedded video. That was a bit good, wasn't it? We're now officially excited about Adele's second album '212, which is released on January 24th.

Ke$ha has followed Rihanna and Cheryl Cole's lead by allowing fans to stream her new album ' Cannibal ' ahead of its November 22nd release - but only after they 'unlock' the content by posting about it on their preferred social media site. It's a tactic we'll be seeing a lot more of as labels look for new ways to distract consumers from the leaks and downloads we're all so used to nowadays. With genius/awful lyrics like 'But I just can't date / A guy with a vag' (' Grow A Pear ') Ke$ha is up [...]

Welsh belle, Charlotte Church has premiered the video to her brand new single ' Logical World '. The single is out 28th November and is the second to be lifted off her folk-inspired album ' Back To Scratch '. Click here to view the embedded video.

Black Eyed Peas are giving fans a taster of their forthcoming album ' The Beginning ' by releasing new tracks on iTunes in the run up to its November 29th release. Here's the first one (after current single ' The Time (The Dirty Bit) '): ' Do It Like This! '

Globe-trotting Rihanna and her newly straightened weave took to the stage in New York's Times Square yesterday for a live rendition of second 'Loud' single ' What's My Name '. The Drake-less studio version is probably our favourite track of the 'Loud' era, FYI: Click here to view the embedded video. Watch the official 'What's My Name' video - including Drake, sadly - here .

We missed this appearing a few days ago - but Gorillaz have released the ' Doncamatic ' video to coincide with their current UK arena tour. Embarrassing admission of the morning alert: we thought it was a girl singing! You'd think the name Daley would have been a give away, but you'd be wrong. He is in fact a hipster-looking dude who apparently lives in a submarine: Click here to view the embedded video. [...]
