You Have to Hear This ...

I love love love the Christina Aguilera song Mercy on Me, and I love love love Demi Lovato's cover of it. I just wish the piano wasn't so loud so you could hear her voice better in some parts.

Vintage MMC Clips

I keep watching vintage Mickey Mouse Club vids on YouTube. Here are my faves.

Britney singing "I'm Gonna Get You"



JC, JT, and Ryan Gosling "Cry for You"



Justin and Christina dancing



Okay, the last one wasn't MMC-related and didn't feature JT & X-tina, but wasn't it fun to watch? ;-)

Why's Everyone Have a Greatest Hits Album?

Christina Aguilera isn't the only one with a greatest hits album due out soon. Hilary Duff has one coming out too. Didn't she just release a greatest hits album two albums ago? I'm just saying. Anyway, like Christina, Hilary has a few new tracks on the new album of old songs. The song's called Reach Out. It features a guy, I'm not sure who he is, but he raps and looks cool in the video. The song's pretty good and you can dance to it. The video on the other hand just looks awkward. Unlike the "sexy comes naturally to me" Hilary we saw in With Love and Stranger, the Hilary in Reach Out just looks like she's trying to hard to be sexy. In some scenes she's able to pull it off, but in other scenes it's just awkward to watch. I really wanted to like this video, but I'm just puzzled by it. Sorry, but see for yourself.

**Update** The guy featured in this song and video is called The Prophet. That's all I know.

Just in Time for Halloween ...

Christina Aguilera plays dress-up as she takes on numerous personas in her new video for Keeps Gettin' Better! She plays a Lady GaGa look-alike of sorts as she uses her "powers" (?) to edit some video which shows her as a real-life anime character, a variation of Catwoman, a girl in a field of flowers on a bike, and a girl with a video camera. Although I like the song, I'm not sure what the point of the video is or what exactly is going on. Can somebody explain the dancing robot on her desk? I kind of wish it was more like her VMA performance. Hopefully her new videos get better soon. I'm hoping she releases Genie 2.0 from her greatest hits album as her next single.
