Justin Timberlake Mirrors Ellen
It's Like He's A Mirror

Justin Timberlake‘s latest LP The 20/20 Experience is still doing pretty well (it’s the top-selling album of 2013 so far), but the crooner stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show to give his current single “Mirrors” an extra promotional boost. Also, he spent an hour there. A whole hour! Nothing but Justin. That’s the dream, isn’t it?

His performance of “Mirrors” was lively and soulful — he definitely has the vibe for this era down — and he seemed to be in good spirits when he sat down for a chat with Ellen to talk about his marriage to Jessica Biel, who inspired the song.  More »

Selena Gomez Performs “Come & Get It” On ‘Late Show With David Letterman’: Watch

Selena Gomez Come & Get It Letterman
We Came & Got It

Selena Gomez has been channeling Britney Spears (there are worse pop idols to tribute, surely) in those big, high-concept performances of her new single “Come & Get It,” but last night on Late Show With David Letterman, Gomez seemed a little mellower: No choreography, no over-the-top bhangra gyrations — just Selena and her mic, keeping it simple on stage.  More »

Did This Pair Do Shakira Proud?

The Battle Round is wrapping up already? But Usher still has a steal! “I’m patiently waiting for the right moment to press my button,” Usher says, perhaps hinting at the moment that has been built up to be the Steal To End All Steals on The Voice! What could it be? How will Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Shakira react to it? Will NBC manage to fit in a cross promotion moment with Revolution and have Usher’s final steal turn off all of the power on the stage? The city? THE WORLD?

Prepare to be grossly let down on that front (and you’re welcome for another awesome marketing idea, NBC). What won’t disappoint, however, are the final battles that determine the teams going into the Knockout Round. More »

Ke$ha’s ‘My Crazy Beautiful Life’ Premieres, Takes on Blogging & Real-Life Bullies

Kesha my crazy beautiful life series mtv

Hey, all you animals. Tuesday night, MTV premiered the first part of Ke$ha‘s six-part documentary, entitled, My Crazy Beautiful Life. And with that, I would like to present to you, Lisa’s Crazy Beautiful Recap. This is the behind-the-scenes peek we’ve all been waiting for into the life of 26-year-old pop sensation, Ke$ha, whose full name (in case you didn’t know) is Kesha Rose Sebert.

We start with some cute home videos of a three-year-old Kesha (minus the dollar sign at that age) playing on the piano wearing, surprisingly, no body jewels or feathers. A voiceover starts from Lagan Sebert, Ke$ha’s older brother, also the director of the series. He explains that he took the chance that his sister might be onto something with this songwriting thing (despite his advice that she not drop out of high school to pursue it) and he decided to capture on video her ascent to the glitter-pop throne starting in 2011. The result is Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life. More »

Ciara Gets Super Turnt Up On ’106 & Park’ With Bow Wow: Watch

Ciara 106 and Park
The Princess Is Here

Here are a few things you need to know about Ciara: 1) The “Body Party” is happening right here, right now and 2) She is super turnt up about it.

That was the general sentiment of her interview on 106 & Park yesterday, where she chatted with her ex-boyfriend Bow Wow (awkward!!111) and used the phrase “turnt up” twice in 90 seconds, the first time to refer to her fan base. (#CSquad, where you at?) So here’s the thing. Urban Dictionary defines “turnt up” as “thee [sic] act of getting drunk and high to thee [sic] highest degree,” which means that one of two things must be true — either she’s implying that her fans are intoxicated, or Ciara has liberated the phrase “turnt up” from the shackles of its debauched origins, redefining the vernacular just as she once redefined the face of music. Call us crazy. Call us dreamers. Hell, go ahead and call us turnt up. See if we care.  More »

On the third night of the Battle Round, the coaches focused their time not just on coaching their teammates, but on coaching one another. Usher gave Blake Shelton a dance lesson (incidentally, it did not improve the latter’s moves at all). Shakira gave the men lessons in deep breathing (don’t let that hot physique fool you: she did just give birth). Adam Levine taught Shakira a new English word (explaining that the word “oaf” could be used to describe both Blake Shelton and Shrek).

When there were breaks in the lifelong learning and perpetual verbal sparring, actual contestants went to battle for the limited team spots. Here’s the good, the bad and the Shrek/Blake Shelton battles that advanced some to next week’s Knockout Round, and sent others home to vote during the live shows with the rest of America. More »

Carly Rae Jepsen Cleans Up At Juno Awards: Watch Her Medley Performance

Canadian Queen

We miss Carly Rae Jepsen. It was about this time last year when “Call Me Maybe” began its clandestine takeover of the singalong node of everyone’s brains. Then a few months later came her fun debut LP, Kiss, and everyone promptly ignored it even though it was one of the best pop albums of 2012. Now, “Call Me Maybe” has become but a mist dissipating into the spring air and America has no unifying smash to enjoy collectively. (Don’t even try mentioning “Harlem Shake” as the successor. Just don’t.)

But Canada! Canada would never turn its back on its own viral hero. So at the Juno Awards last night (April 21), the cute Canuck took home a pair of the night’s biggest awards —Single of the Year and Album of the Year. Jepsen was also on hand to perform, starting off demure for “Call Me Maybe,” then shedding some clothing for a short shorts-high stockings get-up for “Tonight I’m Getting Over You.” Watch it up top.

HAIM Time

We’ve been talking up HAIM‘s live game for a few weeks now, and those of you who still haven’t had a chance to see them perform can finally get a taste of the band in action up top. (But seriously, see them live!) The three California sisters performed “Forever” on BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland, and as expected, the grooves were tight, the harmonies were smooth and the drums were crisp.

The song seems simple, but live the intricacies really become apparent — the abrupt crescendos and decrescendos, that undulating bass line intertwining with guitar stabs. And that’s impressive and all, but bassist Este Haim stole the show with her John Mayer-esque guitar faces. More »

JoBros Make Us Put Our Pom Poms Down

The Jonas Brothers stopped by Live! With Kelly and Michael this morning to chat with Kelly Ripa and guest host Carrie Ann Inaba and perform two songs, including their latest single “Pom Poms.” The boys covered everything from making their fifth album, to Kevin’s show Married To Jonas, to whether or not they ever fight (answer: of course, they’re brothers, duh!).

“It’s really hard work,” Kevin said of his E! reality show, which, really? The show’s crew traveled with and filmed the JoBros as they were touring in South America. Kevin also showed off a new tattoo of wife Danielle’s name on his left ring finger. Joe mentioned that the brothers have been writing together a lot for this upcoming album, and claims to win most often when the brothers fight. The boys then performed an energetic rendition of “Pom Poms,” complete with a four-piece marching band section, to which Kelly and Carrie Ann did indeed put their pom poms down. To close out the show, they played “First Time.”

Check out the video up top to see the interview and both songs, and head below to see Kevin’s recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live (during which he throws some shade Selena Gomez‘s way, if you’re listening closely enough). More »

Fall Out Boy Perform “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark” On ‘Conan’: Watch

Fall Out Boy My Songs Glow Live Conan
Glowing On Conan

Fall Out Boy‘s new album Save Rock and Roll may (ironically) set out to do just that, but in the band’s performance last night on Conan, they paid tribute to another ironic rock group of yesteryear — the fictional act Spinal Tap, of iconic mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap fame. The group have enough stage presence and energetic pomp to make any performance of “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark” worth watching, but the Spinal Tap element made it extra-great: Pete Wentz spent the first part of the song trapped in a pod, like Derek Smalls in the film — and, lo and behold, Harry Shearer (who played that character) was on stage tearing it up, too.
