Song Highlight: Get the Girl Back

You're welcome fror this musical delight. Look for Hanson's new album, Anthem, out this June.

Song Highlight: Suit & Tie

Justin Timberlake is back, y'all! While this isn't "new" news, it's my first song highlight in a while so it has to be JT. This is not my favorite work by the pop "legend," but it is enjoyable — and this lyric video is stunning.

Happy Valentine's Day. ❤

Song Highlight: Heaven

The above song was recorded for the families of the Sandy Hook tragedy by Michigan-native Mike Posner. <3

Song Highlight: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

Yes, this is an old song from Bob Dylan. That aside, the above video happens to showcase a rebooted version for a good cause, Amnesty International, by none other than Miley Cyrus. Girlfriend may have a lot of haters but I <3 the newly engaged starlet and think she totally rocks this song (it seriously shows off her vocal chops, peeps). P.S. She also totally rocks this hairstyle (so, shut up already) ↓

Song Highlight: Ours

Yes, I know many of you out there are totally sick of T. Swift right now (and I suppose I can understand that...). That said, I love this song and especially its music video — it speaks to millions of mornings around the world and is awesome. 'Nuf said.

Song Highlight: Fix You

Some love Coldplay. Some hate Coldplay (I'm sure).

I am part of the first group, and "Fix You" is the reason for that. This song is beautiful, tragic and just plain fabulous. Enjoy.

Kathy Beth Terry's 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)'

She loves JTT and Hanson and is a master at Skip-It, she's singer Katy Perry's alter ego Kathy Beth Terry.

For her latest single release, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," off last summer's Teenage Dream, Katy Perry has gone the extra mile when it comes to promotion, creating an entire persona for the vid in the form of Terry (it includes custom Facebook and Twitter accounts!).

My thoughts? Utterly genius. Through her alter ego, Perry is exposing an outrageous version of her childhood. I mean, who in our generation didn't love JTT (he was, like, the Justin Bieber of the nineties) and dance around to Hanson's "MMMBop"? Maybe some of you did not but I, for one, did and Terry had me cracking up (not to mention extremely jealous that she got Hanson to be in the video). Check out the music video below, also featuring appearances from Corey Feldman, Kenny G, Glee's Kevin McHale and Darren Criss, Rebecca Black and Debbie Gibson.

Product Placement: Going Too Far?

In Britney Spears' newest music video, directed by the "mastermind" behind Lady Gaga's "Telephone," it's almost impossible not to notice the blatant (and shameless) product placement.

Now, I think product placement is generally a brilliant idea and have come to expect it in feature films, but in music videos? For one, it's not a lot of screen time to deal with, so to truly place something well, it's bound to be obvious (and, need I say, distracting).

Did you spot the products? If not, I'll tell you those that I noticed (to name a few): Radiance, Paris Makeup (this one's fuzzy because I couldn't get a good look), PlentyOfFish and Sony. Were you able to spot more?

Oh the Joys of Photoshop

Just chillin' with Zac at an award show...

and this is amazing:
