A Britney Clip That Will Make Everyone Go 'Crazy'

Rolling Stone
It's a slow day in music.

Someone with a lot of time on their hands created this little ditty, which includes every instance Britney Spears has sung the words "baby" and "crazy" on her albums. Coincidentally, Excedrin Migraine sales have skyrocketed.

This excruciating clip lasts over five minutes long. We can now officially conclude that Britney will always reign as the Queen of Meaningful Lyrics.

Happy Birthday, Freddie Mercury!

Freddie Mercury would have celebrated his 65th birthday today. Music artists posted memories and birthday wishes to the late singer on YouTube.

"(Queen's) probably the most influential band to My Chemical Romance," Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance said. "Freddie Mercury (is) probably the most important front man to me growing up as a little boy."

"Happy Birthday, Freddie. The world is your voice and we can only hope to achieve half of what you achieved--all of us artists--because you really were an inspiration," said Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins.

Katy Perry even sang an off-key version of "Happy Birthday" to Mercury. Oh well, I guess she tried.

Mercury died in 1991 from AIDS. Who knows what the music industry would be like now if he was still alive?

Rebecca Black Banter

YouTube sensation Rebecca Black recently performed a shortened version of her song "Friday" on an episode of NBC's America's Got Talent.

Oh, the irony...having Rebecca Black perform on a talent show. Was the purpose of this to show contestants that there's truly hope for anyone to become famous? 

Warning: The singing is not auto-tuned in this performance.



Rebecca also made a surprise appearance onstage at Katy Perry's sold out Los Angeles show on August 5. The two have been quite chummy ever since she appeared in Katy's "Last Friday Night" video.

Katy began singing an acoustic cover of "Friday," later joined by Rebecca. Thanks for that, Katy. As if it wasn't enough torture listening to one horrible singer on that song.

Katy then strangely introduced the singer as "The infamous Rebecca Black." Infamously bad at singing? Infamously appearing in your crappy video? Do explain what you mean by "infamous," Katy!




 In other Rebecca Black news: She told ABC in a recent interview that she dropped out of school due to constant bullying by her classmates and will continue her education by home schooling.

"When I walk by they'll start singing 'Friday' in a really nasally voice," she said. "Or, you know, they'll be like, 'Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?'"

Ouch. They really ask her what day it is? Kids can be so cruel!

Luckily for our ears, the song was auto-tuned.

Bruno Mars' "Love Gone Sour"

Bruno Mars and his songwriting partner, Philip Lawrence, were recently featured in a YouTube video called "Love Gone Sour," serenading their true love, a bag of sour cream and onion Popchips. This is the latest of several recent Popchips online ads. If only that bag of Popchips had ears!
