Micro/Tele/Video-phone

It has come to my attention that having the word "phone" in a song title generally seems to mean that it's going to be a really good song!

Exhibit A:
Beyoncé's "Video Phone". It also featured Lady Gaga which was a BIG bonus for the song.

Exhibit B:
Lady Gaga's "Telephone" featuring Beyoncé was and is an AMAZING song and the video will be cherished by me forever. Live it, love it. Should have made it in 3D, it's worthy.

Exhibit C:
Ayumi Hamasaki's "Microphone" off her soon-to-be-released album "Rock'n'Roll Circus", which I am VERY excited about, to say the most. In fact I'll make it the picture of this post because Ayumi is one of my FAVOURITE Asian (Japanese specifically) artists and I love her and she's a HUGELY MASSIVELY successful star in Japan, you have no idea. It's kinda ignorant that basically no one I know has heard of Ayu, except for those who I have told her about. Which by the way, is many. (You're welcome, Ayu.) Anyway, she's awesome and I love her. Dying for Koda Kumi's new album too. Hope BoA releases a 2nd English album too. Utada's last English album (This is the One) was good... but not great. If she made the music a little more poppy I might like it, but a full English Version of album 'Ultra Blue' would go down nicely too.

Oh wait? You don't care about all of that cause you don't know/like Asian music? SUCK IT. :)

I had a shit day and everything sucked and teachers hate me and I have no friends. That is lé fact.

Sarah, I hope you live up to your promise with Oscar!

P.S. Alex, Rianna, Nadine, Ashleigh & Natalie are all MILFS. But without being mothers. Obviously. (will refer back to this regarding Ashleigh in 9 months.) Sorry for those other readers who didn't get shout outs. You don't leave comments and just creepily stalk - so how the christ am I meant to know?

Answer: I'm not.

Cheerio.

EDIT: Holy shitballs!!! Koda Kumi's latest album is already out so I thought I'd be kind and post one of the singles off her album which is actually a cover of an unused track which was supposed to be on Kelly Clarkson's "All I Ever Wanted" album. The track's called "Can We Go Back", I'll post Kelly and Koda's songs for you to compare. Unfortunately Koda's label Avex is soo annoying and NEVER lets her music be on YouTube, so unfortunately no youtube link for her version. (I like Koda's just cause she's a legend. Sorry Kelly, yours is awesome too!)

[Obsession of the Week] GUILTY

I'm not usually much of an Ayu fan, but this album 'GUILTY' really grabbed my attention! I have only really liked her song 'Fairyland' before and the two Sweetbox covers (aka. 'Ladies Night' and 'Bold & Delicious') but there were some songs on this album I just LOVE! The introduction song 'Mirror' is amazing, and then the song after '(don't) Leave me alone' is probably my favourite song! I love it!! Great beat and on bass it sounds amazing! The title song 'GUILTY' is great too, quite a darker more thoughtful, regretful sound to the song. It's amazing! 'glitter' is also a nice song, this is just a fab album from Ayumi Hamasaki! I have yet to listen to her new album 'Next Level' but the cover art for it is pretty funky so I will have to take a listen and see what I like, Ayumi is typically my least favourite of the main Japanese power-pop trio with Koda Kumi and Utada Hikaru, but this album really is amazing! That reminds me, Utada's new album March 14th! Like, two days away OMG!! And BoA's like a week later! Two English albums from Japanese artists, they might be mainstream in like two weeks. Holy shit!! GOOD LUCK BoA AND UTADA!!
