Demi Lovato and Cher Lloyd Prove They "Really Don't Care"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Friday, June 27, 2014 0 comments

Demi Lovato take over Los Angeles' Gay Pride Parade, celebrating with the crowd and sending a clear message to all the haters with her powerful pop-anthem, "Really Don't Care," and brought it to life by sing with the crowd, party with her friends and brush off all those haters. The LGBTQ-friendly clip features a number of celebrity cameos, including the singer's boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, Perez Hilton, Kat Graham, Shane Bitney Cone and British pop singer Cher Lloyd, who lends her vocals and spitting out her sassy verse to the track.
The uptempo dance-pop breakup song, the fourth single off her self titled fourth album "Demi," finds Lovato sending a message of defiance with her "angsty" and "overpowering pipes" vocals to a former lover that their split is for good and she won't change her mind. "For me it was just about a breakup a while ago," Lovato explained. "And now it's just an overall of thinking and not giving a s--t about what people say or what people think about you and your beliefs." The pair met when Lloyd, who was a finalist on the UK's 2010 X Factor performed on the American version of the show, where Lovato is a judge.
"When I originally wrote it, it was a breakup song," the pop performer told E! News. "But now I have sung it so many times that it kind of no longer has a significance in that sort of way. When I sing it, I always want to inspire and empower." After thinking more about the song she wanted it to have "a deeper message" since she stands for much more than that. "I thought what other people could relate to really not caring what people think. I thought of bullies and the LGBT community who are constantly scrutinized. What better place is there than L.A. Pride to celebrate who you are and not really caring what people think?"
Shot at L.A.'s gay pride festival, where Lovato served as the Grand Marshall and performed, the video opens with Lovato telling the crowd that a protester at the parade "has a burn in hell poster' and that "you don't have to hate because my Jesus loves all." The pop star, dressed in leather with rainbow hair, then opens with her song as she marches down the parade on a float as LGBT supporters surround her dancing, celebrating and proudly belting out the lyrics. "And it felt amazing to sing with other people in their faces and sing "I really don't care," Lovato told MTV News.

Hollywood Records knows a thing or two about launching a pop career. The label has already made magic happen for many Disney Channel stars, such as Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez (among others) and is now hoping to repeat the feat with "Shake It Up" actress Bella Thorne. The 16-year-old actress is pretty, pink, and poofy all over and takes it back to the '50s in her fun new candy-colored music video for her debut Single, "Call It Whatever," the lead single and title track for her upcoming debut studio album, due out June 24.
Produced by Paro and was written by Par Westerland, Rickard Goransson and Skyler Stonestreet the classic autotune-assisted bubblegum pop anthem is an upbeat, undeniably catchy and flirty pop tune with a playful nature. It  is about a girl telling her boyfriend that they should call their relationship whatever, because no other words can describe it. In the lyrics, Thorne sings, "Our love needs no name/ We got a thing we can't explain/ Don't care what people say, let's call it whatever/ Whatever."
Previously named the artist formerly known as Ke$ha as a major influence, so that's also very encouraging as Thorne has the ultimate girl time and shows off her amazing dance moves with her friends in the Mickey Finnegan-directed video clip! The stylish star plays dress up in a few different outfits - a princess gown with a huge bow, a sequin shirt, a metallic gold skirt, and hot pink lipstick as a flirtatious waitress and dances her way through a '50s-era old-fashioned diner, as she sips on a milkshake, serves up food and, of course, sings her upbeat new hit!
But don't mistake the teen queen for an apron-wearing frump. Her cherry pie is the hottest dish in town! The video also proves that she's ultra-confident and flirts with cute crush. When the Blonde cutie boy Garrison Lambert walks in the diner, she doesn't shy away, but instead grabs his hand and pulls him up to dance like she just don't care. She's got the whole restaurant up and moving. The set-up is cute and allows Thorne to show her bubbly personality with counter-top dancing and goofy facial expressions. We love that she's showing off her sexy, but sweet new style!

Taylor Swift Rages In "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Friday, August 31, 2012 0 comments

Taylor Swift throws a dance party in just-released video for her latest breakup gossipy hit, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," the first radio single off of Swift's upcoming fourth studio album, "Red," which relates to the intensity of her emotions during a series of failed relationships that were often very public. "All those emotions," she said, "spanning from intense love, intense frustration, jealousy, confusion, in my mind, all those emotions are red. There's nothing in between; there is nothing beige about any of those feelings."
Swift's finest songs are flawless in their construction and showcase her effortless, preternatural mastery of pop conventions. Inspired by an incident, the empowering kiss-off to an ex, is a pop song with bubblegum pop influences while the lyrics depict Swift's frustration at an ex-lover who wants to re-kindle their relationship. Swift told fans worldwide in a web-chat that the scornful yet fun song is about one of her former beaus and is what she refers to, in jest, as "a really romantic song, touching and sensitive to my lovely ex-boyfriend."
With its thumping kick drum, clipped syncopation, and mildly snarky lyrics, it's a teen dream in the vein of Swift's other sing-along jams like "Love Story" or "You Belong with Me," the guitar-based country-pop has anthemic in a slick pop way, rather than her usual modern country way. The track sounds like a brighter, more-polished Avril Lavigne tune, with an undeniable, instantly catchy hook in typical Swift fashion. It's such a welcome departure and a bread-and-butter breakup song, only without the hope of a story-book ending.
Swift, looks like so happy she's "Never Ever Getting Back Together" with one of her exes that she's having a blast dancing party exuberantly along with a group of friends in the Declan Whitebloom-directed clip. There is a capricious, childlike quality to the clip, and the 22-year-old superstar clad in a vintage-inspired, daisy-printed, squirrel-print pajamas and bright red lipstick, which only emphasizes her smile and how thrilled she is to have kicked her ex to the curb. So while it may seem that with her defiant new single, Swift may be venturing into more mature territory, her latest video should assuage her fans' fears.
