Meghan Trainor of "All About that Bass" fame premiered a music video for her new single "No" today. "No" chronicles the tale of a young woman at the club who's being courted by a plethora of men who just can't take NO for an answer. Trainor has come under fire for giving mixed messages in her music, is she promoting female empowerment with hits like "Bass" and "Walkashame"? Or she is mocking the feminist movement with songs like "Dear Future Husband" and "3am"? Trainor has previously stated that she did not consider herself a feminist, but has since grown into the issue, stating:
“That was me at 20. I hadn’t read enough about it. I’d been told: ‘Don’t say you’re something if you don’t know what it is.’ So I was like: ‘Well, I’m not a feminist,’ because I didn’t really understand it and then I was like ‘Oh, s**t!' Obviously I am a feminist. My songs are women’s anthems across the board. Some people don’t get it, and I’ve had girls on Twitter writing: ‘I hate you,’ and calling out some of the lyrics that I wrote.”
So she was 20 and made an uneducated statement and has since educated herself, kudos for admitting your faults girl! There are many young women in the public eye that don't consider themselves feminists because it's an unpopular term with a lot of negative connotations, but that's another article for another time. For now I leave you with some stills from the video. Though I have to admit, I'm getting a bit of mixed messages myself between all these outfits and dance moves. What is this long gold jacket? Why are these ladies in this electric plant? What is happening with this fishnet Bob Fosse number? I'll just chalk it up to being too old to understand pop music anymore...

(Jesus Christ that was a long sentence.) That being said, I'm sure I'll be singing and dancing to this song by the weekend. Brit's video tells the tale of the fated date in the not so distant future, December 21, 2012, when the Mayans predicted the world will end. Brit is held up in a basement with a few of her most beloved back up dancers, grinding up on one another waiting for apocalypse to come only to realize, upon poking her head out of a manhole, that the sun has come up and indeed she will see another day as a 30 year-old (that's how old Britney will be in 2012.) [vodpod id=Video.5930037&w=425&h=350&fv=] Now we all know that ever since Britney went a little cray-cray, she hasn't been the same pop princess she was in her "virgin" years, but someone took extra special care to cut out all the real Britney dance sequences of her latest vid to prove it. Below is the whole 30 seconds of Britney gyrating to prove, once and for all, that Britney Jean Spears can no longer cut a rug. It's really sad, but we all have to face the music (pun intended) some day and realize that Britney is way too drugged up to shake it like she used to. Either that or she's a drone and they haven't figured out how to give robots rhythm yet. God I hope I can still shake my ass when I'm closing in on my third decade of life. And for reference and good measure, here's Britney in her dancing years. Skip to 1:18 for some serious dance skillz.

Music Video →]]> The music video for Katy Perry's E.T. featuring Kanye West premiered on MTV.com today and being that I've dedicated many a post to MissKaty I just had to comment. Now I could have gone with a headline that read "Katy Perry's E.T. Is Out Of This World" or something equally repulsive, but that would be both tacky and untrue. Granted, E.T. is lightyears beyond Firework, both in music video and songitude, but I have to admit that I was expecting something a wee bit more than what I got. Katy Perry only has three costume changes, four if you count her alien transformation, and she's basically a little flowy ball orbiting while Kanye West has the occasional angry outburst while holding his crotch (typical).

Something I will give MissKaty credit for is proving me right. E.T., along with Lady Gaga's Born This Way and Britney Spears' Hold It Against Me music video, is just putting a big fat "right" on my forehead for all the world to see. In my Futuristic Feminist post I talked about the move of female artists into the future. And mark my words, you're going to see more of it. The transformation from tarty little girl pop stars to androgynous and beautifully deformed future ladies is only going to be more pronounced in the coming year. But we'll leave that for later, for now, just enjoy the E.T. picture book I created for you!

In her music video for Blow, which is aesthetically and auditorally (?) superior to We R Who We R, Ke$ha is seen in a Kla$$ier light; dining with unicorns in tuxedos, drinking champagne and getting into a laser gun battle with James Van Der Beek. There were a few cringeworthy moments in this video, mostly having to do with Ke$ha's acting ability, but it's nice to see she doesn't take herself too seriously. Side Note (To Ke$ha): Hey girl, stick to what you do best (i.e. drinking brown liquors, being dirty and using auto-tune) and leave the acting to the professionalbeeks. There's really nothing more to say about this, that wouldn't be better expressed through pictures. I give you... a unicorn rainbow massacre!
