Lady GaGa: Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)

As we're posting some new music this morning let's have a listen to Lady GaGa's new single "Do What U Want" featuring R. Kelly. Leaving aside any further discussion about twerking, or the role of female pop stars in challenging sexism in popular culture, it has to be said that this is quite glorious pop music. This is the Lady GaGa I love (as opposed to when she goes all piano fierce on us) GaGa, step away from the piano - Madonna, put down the guitar love.

Madonna: Miles Away (A Crowd Electric Mix) / (Telephone Mix)

So let's have a wee shot of Madonna before I go to bed. I've been really good and haven't posted any Madonna for ages* so I make no apologies, and these are two fabulous mixes of "Miles Away". This track is originally from the album Hard Candy (I never liked that album title - apparently she was originally planning to call it Black Madonna but changed her mind as she felt that after the American Life furore people would miss the irony and get all pissed off at her).



Anyway these are my two favourite mixes of "Miles Away" - her rather obvious trouble in paradise ode to her at the time relationship with Guy Richie. The first mix features Madonna vs. A Crowd Electric, while the second has Madonna yet again up against Lady GaGa - this time with "Telephone". Both mixes work really well although the latter mix takes a minute or two to really kick off.

*I just realised I actually posted some Madonna five days ago - oops! I still make no apologies - I know you love me anyway.

Lady GaGa vs. Eurythmics: Sweet Dance Dreams

There's been different versions of this around for ages. I also have a version called "Just Dreams" which is really good. This is clever but also fun.
