LIGHTS, who’s currently on tour in her home country of Canada, unleashed the video for new single “Ice” on her MySpace. The clip features her happily jamming on her keytar at home until the Juno Award-winning 22-year-old’s evil doppelgänger appears, threatening to tip over her goldfish bowl!
LIGHTS, naturally, isn’t having it, so cue up a Mariah Carey/”Heartbreaker”-style catfight, wherein the singer dukes it out with herself. But since we’ve all caught Mimi’s vid before, here’s MAD TV’s far superior spoof of it, “Love Muffin”:
Getting back to LIGHTS, the singer returns to the States in January where she’ll be opening for her onsie-shilling synth-pop peer, Owl City.
Writing is hard.
Mad Magazine? Man. I really have to decide whether it’s worth it to come back and post anti-Buzznet comments here if I have to deal with Mad Magazine in an Idolator post.
Dude, brasstax, chill. You don’t like the new people. Got it. Now move on.
Mad Magazine was the inspiration for MadTV, yes, but MadTV was soooooo much worse.
How does one go about convincing a computer program to kill itself?
How long is this going to go on before Jess Harvell and Anthony Miccio unmask themselves and reveal this as a hilarious prank? Because it becomes less hilarious if it goes on for more than 3 days, that is the “hilarious limit” of internet jokes and EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.
Ok, while I agree that the quality of the new Idolator is pretty much objectively terrible, I don’t really see the point in harassing the new writers; it’s not like that’s going to do anything. Might as well save the vitriol for human traffickers or Republicans or something.

Oh, I’ve got plenty to spread around.
There is something in me that wants to think this is all a bad prank but *sigh* probably not. This crap sounds like it is directly out of a high school creative writing assignment.
Like everyone I find this whole mess very insulting. Not only for the well-mentioned lack of intros but the suddenness made it sound like Maura was gagged from talking about it until basically they told her ‘Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out’. It is just so disrespectful to Maura and the readers. These so-called ‘writers’? It just sounds like they had to throw in some hacks (or bots) so there wasn’t white space on the page while the powers-that-be decide what to do with the blog. I would’ve much preferred that it just got frozen until whatever changes were to come.
Whatever, for what it’s worth, that’s my 2¢. I can’t see me sticking along much longer if this change is what passes for music writing nowdays. Then again, that was probably the plan as someone had mentioned in one of the comments.
