Jay-Z has his diamonds, Taylor Swift has her heart, Lady Gaga has her monster claw, and Cobra Starship's chosen hand gesture for their fans? "Middle finger to the sky — throw it up!" frontman Gabe Saporta declares on the pop-punk-turned-dance group's new single, off their album Night Shades. The song's otherwise happy-go-lucky verses and friendly club beats don't really gel with the act of angrily flipping the bird, but more perplexing is why Gabe spends a significant chunk of the song's video standing at a payphone, singing the lyrics to an anonymous person on the other end. Who even uses payphones anymore? More »

The 10 Best Album Covers Of 2011
Thu Dec 29 2011 by Becky Bain
Though we admittedly had a ball compiling the list of the 10 Worst Album Covers of 2011, we’re not just a bunch of haters here at Idolator. There were several album covers from LPs released this year — 10 to be precise — that we fell head over heels in love with, either due to the cover’s originality, its entertainment value, or just the sheer beauty of the particular piece. Last year we chose Katy Perry’s whimsical Teenage Dream as our favorite cover art, and this year’s #1 pick is just as dreamy. Check out the 10 best examples of how an album’s cover can elevate the entire experience of enjoying music. More »
Cobra Starship & Sabi Do Just What They Like On ‘Dancing With The Stars’
Wed Nov 16 2011 by Robbie Daw
Cobra Starship and Sabi's "You Make Me Feel..." is a bona fide smash, and since the MTV Video Music Awards this past summer, they've been sporadically parading onto TV shows — last night's episode of Dancing With The Stars included — and performing the clubby jam. Sadly, though, "You Make Me Feel..." seems to have eclipsed Sabi's grinding, dubstep-infused debut single "Wild Heart", which was released nearly three months ago. We're all for striking while the Cobra iron is hot, but at some point, let's hope the budding songstress gets her moment to shine all on her own. Catch the DWTS performance below.

Mon Oct 10 2011 by Robbie Daw
"You Make Me Feel..." hitmakers Cobra Starship will appear as musical guests on tomorrow night’s episode of The CW’s 90210, titled “Party Politics." The band will be performing their Ryan Tedder co-write "#1Nite (One Night)," from new album Night Shades, on the saucy nighttime soap. We'd actually watch, but we've already had our fill of all things sexy and bitchy for the week — and it's only Monday. Guess we'll just flip through these pics from the show, then.
Tony Bennett, Queen Latifah, OneRepublic & Cobra Starship Do ‘AGT’ Finale
Thu Sep 15 2011 by Robbie Daw
It was a star-studded America's Got Talent finale last night, as Tony Bennett and Queen Latifah took to the stage to perform their Duets II tune "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)," Cobra Starship and Sabi gave a shaky performance of their hit "You Make Me Feel..." and OneRepublic mashed up their hits "Secrets" and "Good Life." Incidentally, 36-year-old crooner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. emerged as the AGT winner this season. Watch the musical happenings on the show below.

Cobra Starship Perform On ‘The Tonight Show’, Will Tour With Justin Bieber
Wed Sep 14 2011 by Becky Bain
Cobra Starship have transitioned from pop-punk to Guetta-esque electro-pop with their new album Night Shades, and it seems to be going well for them - so well, in fact, that Justin Bieber has tapped the group to open for him on the South American leg of his upcoming tour. Congrats, we guess? This seems like a curious pair-up, but if something is Bieber-approved, you can better believe the tweens will come flocking. Start the hysteria now by watching Cobra's performance of "You Make Me Feel..." with Sabi on The Tonight Show below. More »
2011 MTV VMAs: The Performances — UPDATED
Sun Aug 28 2011 by Idolator Staff
The big night has finally arrived! At last year's MTV Video Music Awards, we were treated to show-stopping performances by the likes of Eminem and Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Florence + The Machine. This year's lineup is possibly even more enticing, with Lady Gaga, Jessie J, Adele, Bruno Mars, Lil Wayne, The Throne, and the pregnant Beyonce amongst the talents on hand. We'll update this post as performances as appear online throughout the night. Head below to see Lady Gaga (or is that Jo Calderone?) doing "You & I" and the pre-show's "You Make Me Feel" from Cobra Starship featuring Sabi, among many others. Who stole the show?

Selena Gomez To Host Pre-VMA Show, Cobra Starship To Perform
Fri Aug 19 2011 by Becky Bain
Before opening performer Lady Gaga most likely sets fire to the MTV VMA stage, or covers it in blood or goo (or both!), Selena Gomez will be live from the black carpet as this year's host of the VMA Pre-Show. The "Love You Like A Love Song" singer will be joined by Cobra Starship, who will perform their single "You Make Me Feel..." live with Sabi. We'd say that's as steamy as a pot full of vegetables, wouldn't you? [Via EW Music Mix]
Cobra Starship Project Their “Fool Like Me” Lyrics Video
Tue Aug 9 2011 by Becky Bain
Cobra Starship's sense of humor comes shining through on their Night Shades track "Fool Like Me", which gets its own cleverly-made lyrics video. Instead of just slapping the song's lyrics in a terrible font over photos of the artist like some people (ahem), the group's words are projected onto city walls, overturned couches and the sides of buildings, all while a camera films it live. Check it out below! More »
Cobra Starship And Ryan Tedder Celebrate “#1Nite” On New Song
Tue Jul 26 2011 by Becky Bain
Late night party pop delinquents Cobra Starship are celebrating like there's no tomorrow in their new song "#1Nite (One Night)", off their August 30 release Night Shades. Ryan Tedder adds his vocals to the rousing club tune — apparently the singer-songwriter-producer got a taste of the night life while working with other fete-throwers Far East Movement. Check out the "#1Nite" lyrics video below.
