VIDEO: Lady Gaga Gets Revenge in Marry the Night
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music Videos, Videos, Pop,
Revenge, for Lady Gaga, is a dish best-served stylishly.
In her latest music video off of Born This Way, "Marry the Night" tells the tale of how her initial record label -- Def Jam -- dropped her after only 3 months and of her subsequent "breakdown" and recovery. Of course, in this Gaga-directed video full of Cheerio love, Black Swan nods, and general craziness, reality can't hold a candle to Gaga's world. After all, as she states in the video, "It's not that I've been dishonest. It's just that I loathe reality."
Is it too much, or does it leave you wanting more?

Snow Patrol Wants to Work With Gaga
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Alternative, Pop, Rock,
Snow Patrol wants to collaborate with Lady Gaga because she is "much smarter than your average pop star."
The "Called out in the Dark" group has a lot of respect for the "Bad Romance" hitmaker and would love to get her into the studio to add something different to one of their songs. "I think she's pretty incredible. To get her to guest vocal would be a coup. I love watching her and reading her interviews. She knows exactly what she's doing, she seems so much smarter than your average pop star and is really talented. I've seen those early videos of her playing New York gigs, she's just an amazing keyboard player, great musician, great writer, she's the whole deal, drummer Jonny Quinn said.
The only thing which would make the band hesitant to work with Gaga, however, is the fact that Coldplay recorded the track "Princess of China" with Rihanna, and the group is worried people would think they were "copying" them.
Among their other rock star friends, Snow Patrol count funk band Red Hot Chili Peppers, but they're not sure if trying to marry their very different styles would have great results: "We know the Chili Peppers they're really good guys, I know Chad the drummer quite well but I don't know if us collaborating with them would work out," Jonny said.

Actor Diego Luna stars alongside Katy Perry in her latest music video, "One That Got Away." Directed by Floria Sigismondi, the video cuts back-and-forth in time as an elderly Perry reflects upon a lost love from her younger years.
Cutting back on the colorful costumes, makeup, and hair, the music video plays more like a short film, complete with Johnny Cash's "You Are My Sunshine" at the end.

Bruno Mars Happy To Be On Twilight Soundtrack

Bruno Mars feels his new song "Let It Rain" fits in with the new Twilight Saga movie perfectly.
The singer recorded the track for the penultimate installment of the vampire movie, Breaking Dawn: Part 1, and says the song pays tribute to the romance between lead characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
"When I saw the scenes I was already working on a dark love song. In every relationship you don't want to lose your friend. That's the hardest part. I didn't want to write it like 'I'm gonna sink my teeth into you.' It was just honest, pure emotion."
As well as being pleased with the song, Bruno was also impressed with the movie as he experienced a variety of emotions: "I watched some parts that made me laugh. I watched some parts that made me bawl into tears and just cry and cry. I thought it was shot beautifully. They did some really cool stuff. The cinematography was great. And the storyline."

Maroon 5 Want to Collaborate With Adele, Mumford and Sons
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Pop, Rock,
Pop rockers Maroon 5 would love to collaborate with Adele.
The band members are huge fans of the "Someone Like You" hitmaker, and keyboardist Jesse Carmichael revealed that she is top of his list of musicians he wants to work with: "In terms of collaborations, I don't know. My personal favorite would be to work with Adele right now. She's amazing."
However, lead singer Adam Levine is worried the singer is too popular to have time for them and spoke of his wish to work with Mumford and Sons. "Get in line. Mumford and Sons album is my favorite album of the year. Last time I saw them they were rehearsing for a performance with Bob Dylan at the Grammys and they were freaking out. It was awesome to see them so excited."
Meanwhile, Jesse revealed the band were worried their number one single with Christina Aguilera -- "Moves Like Jagger" -- would flop, because Adam loves it and when the lead singer hates one of their songs, it is usually successful. "In the past we had this barometer, which was that if Adam hated a song, we knew it was going to be successful," Jesse said.

Lady Gaga Liberates Herself Through Reinvention
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Performances, Pop,
Pop singer Lady Gaga feels she is "liberating" herself by constantly changing her image and sound. The "You + I" singer is known for her eccentric fashion sense and straddles a number of genres on her latest album, Born This Way, a practice she has been drawn to since she was a girl.
"When I was young I had something very different inside of me. I like to liberate myself with my ability to change, the fantasy becomes my reality," she says in a new documentary Gaga By Gaultier.
The 25-year-old star - real name Stephanie Germanotta - added she never feels the urge to change her outrageous outfits for normal clothes, because her fans expect her to always be Lady Gaga:
"They're my lifestyle, it's not dressing up, a costume, a show, or a character. It's my whole life. I've been dressing like this for more than six years. While I was living in New York, I fell in love with expressing myself through clothing. I wanted to make a name for myself as a musician and stand out. I want to give my fans everything they deserve and they do not deserve sweat pants and sneakers. They deserve the real me all the time, and this is who I am."

Bruno Mars Sues His Publisher
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,
"Just the Way You Are" crooner Bruno Mars is suing his publisher. The singer - whose real name is Peter Hernandez - has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to free him from a contract with Bug Music, which he claims ended on May 12, 2011 when the company didn't exercise its option to continue it.
The 25-year-old singer's lawyer, Michael J. Niborski, told the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday that Bug originally acknowledged they would have to extend the contract in order for a deal to continue between the two. He added that when Bruno expressed his wish to leave the publisher, they "shifted gears, and suddenly argued that Mars had not, in fact, met the minimum release requirements."
The documents also claim Bruno had to submit all his music by February, giving Bug time to decide whether to continue their agreement with the "Nothin' On You" writer before the deal then expired in May. The organization counter claims Bruno is still under their contract and they own 50 per cent of the copyright to any music he makes.

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry Banned In China
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Rumors, Pop,
Lady Gaga, Backstreet Boys, and Katy Perry songs have all been banned in China. The Asian country's ministry of culture has deemed 100 tracks by artists unsuitable for its citizens telling websites selling and streaming them both legally and illegally to remove them before September 15 or face prosecution.
The ministry follows guidelines to ensure tracks are not in "poor taste and vulgar content," and claims the songs on its latest list have not been submitted for approval, which has to be done by the song's writer themselves. While most of the songs are by artists from Taiwan and Honk Kong, six of Lady Gaga's tracks have been banned: "The Edge of Glory," "Hair," "Marry the Night," "Americano," "Judas," and "Bloody Mary."
