So, this is sort of hard to believe, but despite the fact that David Guetta and Sia‘s ginormous worldwide House smash “Titanium” was released way back in December of 2011 (and premiered even earlier that summer), the powerhouse singer-songstress has never actually done an acoustic performance of the song — up until just now.

Last Saturday, Sia performed an acoustic version of “Titanium” live at the An Evening with Women charity event in Beverly Hills.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve already heard the song 45 million times on the radio. It doesn’t matter if you’re tired of hearing the song slamming from the speakers while some glittery twink spills his vodka ginger on you. And it doesn’t matter how much Beatrice Miller nailed the song at the Haus of Godney on X Factor. (Britney loves her some “Titanium,” y’know! Also: “Control the loudness.”)

Hearing “Titanium” performed live, by the songwriter herself, is a complete revelation. And those vocals? COME ON.

Prepare for (A) chills, (B) shivers, (C) goosebumps and perhaps even some (D) tears.

Same, Demi. Same.

Jennifer Paige, singer of the ubiquitous (and, over a decade later, still highly listenable) “Crush,” has returned.

Not that she’s gone anywhere, really: The Atlanta-bred singer-songstress has been churning out singles and studio albums (including a Christmas album!) ever since her 1998 self-titled debut. But nothing’s stuck quite as strongly on the charts as her debut single.

Perhaps, however, all that’s about to change.

For her grand re-emergence in 2013, Paige has paired up with singer-songwriter/attractive person Coury Palermo, who recently appeared on “The Only One”—a favorite from Morgan Page‘s fantastic 2012 studio album, In The Air.

The duo first came together in 2010, then called The Fury, and dropped a few Christmas-themed tracks over the next few years. They’ve since repackaged themselves as Paige & Palermo, and are now prepping the release of a new EP called Stay, due out on June 4.

“Believe,” which you can now hear below, is one of the cuts from their upcoming EP. But let’s manage expectations: If you’re expecting a sugary-sweet sequel to “Crush,” you can stop now.

The duo’s new track is a bit mystical, mysterious, atmospheric and electronic all at once, recalling a bit of the spiritual awakening of Madonna‘s Ray Of Light. “Something tells me I’m not alone in this/You’re taking it to the edge and back again,” the two dreamily croon in unison across the melodic chorus. Their voices blend together wonderfully — the duo idea was clearly a good call.

The production is refreshingly Top 40 radio cliché-free, and the vocal delivery is solid. What’s not to like?

Stay will be released on June 4. (iTunes)

Yes, Legendtina brought the entire audience to their knees at last night’s Billboard Music Awards with her stunning, playback-heavy rendition of “Feel This Moment” with Pitbull. But the true performer of the night — and one of the more underrated pop princesses of our time — was the endlessly fabulous Miss Jennifer Lopez.

After wrapping things up with Legendtina, Pitbull made his way back onstage to partner up with La Lopez and perform their latest in a seemingly endless string of YOLO anthems: “Live It Up.”

Here’s how it went down.

After the Latin bulge rattles through his opening verse (They’re all basically the same thing, right? “Mr. Worldwide! Dale!“), Jennifer appears on the main stage in between bursts of smoke and flashing lights galore, striking a fierce pose and looking hot in her sexy thigh-high red leather boots and a glittery leotard.

This is called a grand fucking entrance.

From the get-go, she nails the choreography with ease: She’s scaling metal scaffolding! She’s twirling down poles! She’s serving hair flips! And it just keeps coming: There’s, like, forty seven dance breaks! This is Britney In The Zone-era level good.

Also, those bottle poppin’ hip twerks? And that legendary crotch thrust at the end?! J. Lo always knows how to show us her LOVE? (Also, kudos for not nearly decapitating anyone while doing so.)

This is called putting in some fucking work.

It doesn’t even matter that “#LiveItUp” (or whatever it’s even called) is just another terrible theme song for every horrible, alcohol-fueled mistake made during Spring Break in Miami: She still managed to slay the entire stage.

This is called having fucking stage presence.

So, just to clarify for the basic bitches: A 43-year-old mother of 2 just wiped the floor with every teeny-bopper pop princess in the building.

This is how you put on a fucking show.

Really though, J. Lo has never faltered as a pop star — from “Waiting For Tonight” up until now: Remember her ridiculously amazing debut of “On The Floor” for American Idol? Or her solid performance of “Dance Again,” again on American Idol? She’s been doin’ it, doin’ it well since forever.

And now, I’ll allow Miley‘s flawlessly executed, fucks-free response to Justin Bieber‘s win to provide the side-eye I’m giving every other performer last night.

ALL HAIL QUEEN LOPEZ.

LAS VEGAS, NV (LEGENDTINA NEWS NETWORK) – “Pero Me Acuerdo de Ti” songstress, Queen of Lotuses and modern society’s more talented and attractive answer to Jesus Christ, Legendtina Goduilera, reigned supreme at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards last night, unleashing a jaw-dropping performance of “Feel This Moment” with Latino bar mitzvah party songsmith, Pitbull.

Following a mercifully brief introduction by the bald musical terrorist, the iconic chanteuse rose up onto the stage in a stunning Versace top and Herve Leger skirt, revealing her svelte new “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti” figure and dazzling the crowd with copious amounts of signature microphone finger-tapping, complex handography and roaring, full-bodied belly notes previously thought to be physically unattainable by human vocal cords.

Later on, the duo was joined by A-Ha lead Morten Harket for a rousing 12 second performance of “Take On Me,” a 1985 song said to be inspired by “Feel This Moment.” Following her show-stealing performance, Legendtina told us she was “very happy” to work with the A-Ha lead, noting: “Morgan Harlot’s been a fan of mine for years.”

Lesser pop princesses, including Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, were seen shaking and crying wildly in the audience while watching the seasoned veteran perform.

Sadly, not everyone was feeling the moment: A fellow singer, who asked to remain anonymous and who recently headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in February, called into the Legendtina News Network to hurl baseless accusations following the performance: “That bitch was performing to playback,” she declared, while her husband Jay-Z shouted along in the background. “Legendtina? More like Lipsynctina! Here I thought she was a grown woman. Also, I’m pregnant.”

After a thorough investigation led by the Legendtina News Network’s own Legendtina, the Legendtina News Network can safely conclude that the accusations were, in fact, false. Unsurprisingly, the “Sing For Me” songstress was the only performer of the night who sang live.

On an unrelated note, a Billboard Music Awards sound engineer was found unconscious in the bathroom of the nearby Palms Casino, lying face down in a puddle of glitter and blue goo. A copy of Bionic was also found nearby.

Lotus is now available on iTunes.

Godney is the Queen of Pop. Madonna is the Queen of Everything. Legendtina is the Queen of Lotuses. And Lana Del Slay? Why, she’s the Queen of Disaster.

As we already know by now, Lady Lana — who just cracked the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since “Video Games” (finally!) with “Young & Beautiful,” her haunting theme song for The Great Gatsby — is prone to her fair share of Lana Del Leaks. Seriously, there’ve got to be over a hundred demos floating around at this point.

Just this weekend, yet another unused track has hit the net. It’s perfect. Who’s surprised?

“Queen of Disaster” is a song from Lana’s 2011 Born To Die sessions with Chris Braide, who also helped to craft the jazzy “Million Dollar Man” off of Born To Die, as well as Sia‘s “Kill & Run” from the Gatsby soundtrack.

The swinging, sunny ’60′s-tinged track sees Lana stepping out from the moody, smoke-filled jazz lounge and onto the stage of American Bandstand: “I’m spinning like a ballerina, feeling gangsta every time I see ya/You’re the king, and baby, I’m the queen of disaster,” she sweetly swoons with breathless delight, dancing around twinkling bells, peppy drums and soaring strings on the Motown-inspired number. There’s even some tambourine action!

She’s having lots of fun vocally, too: “Ladies and gentleman, for the very first time…!” she eagerly announces midway through, for no apparent reason whatsoever. Later on, in the song’s last few seconds, she unleashes an almighty yelp that drowns out the speakers and brings the song to a crashing close. Why? Well, Lana wouldn’t be the Queen of Disaster without keeping you on your toes, obviously.

The song also ticks all the right boxes from the Lana Del Reference Book: Party girls, dizzying love affairs, tattoos, gangstas, golden grills, and of course, her beloved bad boy. It’s completely charming and, apart from being much more uptempo than the bulk of Born To Die, is just as fantastic as anything off of her masterpiece of a debut.

Like “National Anthem,” “Diet Mountain Dew” and “Off To The Races,” a love-stoned Lana leads to all sorts of sun-soaked loveliness. Now then, who’s ready to head up to the Hamptons with me and Lana?

SMURF YOUR ENTIRE SMURF.

“Ooh La La,” Britney‘s contribution to the soundtrack of The Smurfs 2, has finally been leaked upon the Interwebz—on International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia no less, yet another milestone in Britney’s tireless career as a LGBT warrior—and the results are pure, summery Smurfish delight.

Let’s break it down now — show me what you got!

The premise: You are smurfing beautiful. It doesn’t matter how much money you have or how many smurfs you’ve smurfed. Let’s just run away and smurf all night.

The production: Dr. Luke, Ammo, Cirkut

The writers: Bonnie McKee, J Kash, Lola Blanc, Fransisca Hall

The singer: The Legendary Miss Britney Spears

The background: “I just wrote something for Britney Spears for the Smurfs movie, which was a really funny assignment because it’s for the Smurfs movie so it has to family friendly but it’s Britney Spears so it has to be a Britney Spears radio song. And Britney Spears is just all sex all day. So how many sexual innuendos can I come up with that aren’t too painfully obvious for the parents to get upset about. That was an interesting challenge,” Bonnie told The Hollywood Reporter in April.

The dedication: “I’m at the studio recording a new song for my boys. They are going to freak out when they hear it. So excited!” Queen B tweeted on January 30.

The boys:

Sounds Like: It’s a shimmering, summery guitar-led track with a punchy pulse, very similar to Madonna‘s “Superstar” off of MDNA (“Ooh la la, you’re my superstar!”). The girlish, baby B vocals are pure “Brave New Girl” delight, the verses are Martin Solveig‘s “Hello”-esque and the “anti-chorus” construction provides the slightest hint of “Hold It Against Me” (“My heart beats fast” = “If I said my heart was beating loud…”), or Carl Falk‘s crunchy pop productions for One Direction.

The vocals: Flaw-free and Spearitual, obviously—and slightly pitched-up? Smurfs friendly!

The best part: The pre-choruses, for sure: “You know can’t nobody get down like us! We don’t stop ’til we get enough!” Queen B yelps. It’s very in-your-face and Cockyney, a la “Do Somethin’” or “Don’t Keep Me Waiting,” with just the slightest hint of Britishney creeping in between the syllables to sip Smurf sweet tea and eat crumpets.

The beat breakdown: It’s an ultra-vocoded dance floor happy foot shuffle that builds in a very will.i.am-ish way, like “Big Fat Bass.” The smurfs are getting smurf-ah.

“Best Original Song” Oscar contender probability: Very likely to almost guaranteed.

The conclusion: “Ooh La La” is no “Till The World Ends,” but it’s still a super cute, funky and urban track that plays just as a song written for a movie about magical little gnomes should. There’s simply no way you could possibly be blue while listening to “Ooh La La” — even if you’re a smurf.

UPDATE: According to Britney, it’s just a demo! The real thing drops on June 16. Keep calm and smurf on.

Like a pheonix rising from the ashes—or a lotus growing within a stinky, mud-filled swamp—Legendtina has risen again.

The past few months have proven to be quite trying for the “F.U.S.S.” siren: Not only has Legendtina suffered a merciless smear campaign launched by the New York Times, but the Ms. Goduilera Bionic/Lotus Experience World Tour—the very tour she left The Voice to embark upon—remains frustratingly nonexistent.

But all is not lost: There’ve been incredible highs and endless amounts of #lotuspromo, including Time Magazine‘s long-awaited crowning of Legendtina as The Most Influential Artist of All Artists In The History of Ever.

Just last week, the songstress blessed fans with a Spanish-language treat of the non-Pitbull variety: Her cover of Miguel Gallardo‘s 1975 classic, “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti,” featuring Alejandro Fernandez, which will be used for a telenovela called La tempestad (and, presumably, her Univision reality TV docu-series, LevantaSAY, lotos: Las aventuras de Legendtina.)

The sweet scent of success is wafting through the air, stronger than ever—and it smells like Christina Aguilera By Day.

Legendtina has already begun shooting the video for “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti,” and she’s decided to give us a sneak peek today on Twitter. Hold onto your bobbleheads, y’all—’cause she’s about to have you spinning round in circles on her middle, middle dedo…

¡ASI ME GUSTA MAMI!

The Legend is looking right, tight and not herself tonight: No Kool-Aid hair extensions? No Ed Hardy trucker hats? What’s with this new, svelte look and sleek styling?

Is it a diet consisting of only sex for breakfast? Daily exercise consisting of one to two hours of hardcore desnudate-ing? Or has her BFF Godney‘s Shape spread simply provided some inspiration?

Update: It appears Legendtina really was inspired by The Holy Spearit, because she’s posing at the very same window that Brit Brit used for the Femme Fatale photo shoot. True lovers of balconies!

Legendtina should really be singing “Hoy Tengo Todos Los Wigs” at this point, because almost every other pop star is suddenly bald, upset and hurrying down to Barnes and Noble to pick up a Rosetta Stone.

Besitos, bitches.

Kelly Rowland‘s churned out so many sensual slow burns (“Kisses Down Low”), naughty come-ons (“Lay It On Me”) and joyous dance floor fillers (“When Love Takes Over”) over the past five years, it’s jarring to discover that “Dirty Laundry,” Rowland’s latest single off of her upcoming record Talk A Good Game, comes from a place of enormous pain.

She’s vaguely touched upon struggle in the past (“They never seen our scars before, they think our love is beautiful” she sang on 2010′s “Rose Colored Glasses”), but never before has the hurt been so openly exposed.

“Dirty Laundry” is easily one of Rowland’s most emotional, soul-baring records to date (if not the most) that sees the songstress spilling out private confessions—not only about her relationship with her Destiny’s Child sister Beyoncé, but an emotionally and physically abusive relationship that nearly cost her…everything.

In 2001, Destiny’s Child hit to the peak of their success with their quadruple platinum-selling record, Survivor. Here, Rowland reveals that the years following their international reign were far less celebratory: “Forget the records/Off the record, I was going through some bullshit/Post-Survivor, she on fire/Who wanna hear my bullshit?/Meanwhile this n—a putting his hands on me, swear y’all don’t know the half of this industry,” she painfully croons above a pensive hip-hop strut and a cyclical piano melody crafted by The-Dream.

As the raw confessional goes on, the tale only grows darker, as she opens up about her abusive relationship: “Started to call them people on him, I was battered/He hitting the window like it was me, until it shattered/He pulled me out, he said don’t nobody love me but me/Not your momma, not your daddy, and especially not Bey,” she aches. “He turned me against my sister. I missed you.” Wow.

It’s worth noting that not only are the lyrics arresting, but the song itself—the melody, the production—is haunting. Odds are, though, that no one’s going to be paying attention to anything else but the words coming out of Kelly’s mouth.

This one cuts extra deep.

“Dirty Laundry” will be released on May 21. (iTunes)

Selegendary Gomezmerizing is about to make us both hit the lights and trip the light fantastic.

The “Love You Like A Love Song” pop princess first got us breaking a sweat back in April with the premiere her sulty summer seduction anthem, “Come & Get It.” She then caused the Earth’s water supply to quickly evaporate—leading to a year without rain, naturally—thanks to the unbelievably stunning, floral and flowing garb-filled accompanying video last week.

Now, Miss Gomez has set her heavenly eyes on the dance floor with a slew of remixes guaranteed to have her skyrocketing to the top position on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs chart in no time. Like, easily.

The remix package includes phenomenal reinterpretations from the likes of Cahill (who recently put out that amazing track with Kimberley Locke), DJ Laszio and DJ M3.

Highlights are frequent, including the unbelievably twerk-tastic Jump Smokers remix, the scorching House synths of the Liam Keegan remix, the psychotic, dub-ish Robert DeLong remix (which briefly conjures nightmarish Spring Breakers flashbacks), and the tranced out Cosmic Dawn remix—who I previously loved up for his amazing remix of Rihanna‘s “Pour It Up.”

And then, there’s the mix by French House production master, Fred Falke, responsible for All Amazing Remixes, including Annie‘s “Anthonio,” Gossip‘s “Heavy Cross” and his most holy mix of Ricki-Lee‘s “Do It Like That.” His 8 minute (!) club contribution is, as always, luscious and warm—full of dreamy synthesizers and one hell of a nasty drop. Heaven.

They’re all off the chain, quite frankly—so much so, you’ll be slapping on a bindi and serving up your best Bollywood-inspired hip swivels on the dance floor in no time. Seriously, they’re great.

So when you’re ready, come and spin it. Na, na, na, na…

The “Come & Get It” Remix EP will be released on May 28. (iTunes)

BREAK OUT THE FIRST AID KITS AND JINGLE THEM KEYS: THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Once upon a time, there were five little girls: Shannon, Aundrea, D. Woods, Dawn, and Aubrey. These girls had a dream to make music and entertain. They went by the name of…Danity Kane.

They were created by an evil genius with a fetish for flopping named Diddy, who took them all away from us—but not for long.

It’s a Danity dream that none of us ever actually saw coming: Five years after the release of their second (and, at the time, final) studio album Welcome To The Dollhouse, the members of Danity Kane just reunited. (Well, 4 of them: D. Woods was a no show—still no word on whether she’ll be involved.)

Yesterday, the four met up in LA to discuss The Great Danity Komeback, which reportedly includes a new album and tour—and all without the man who pioneered their creation. When TMZ asked the foursome about Diddy’s involvement, Queen O’Day unleashed her inner Internet troll and replied simply: “Who’s that?” Masterfully executed.

That Danity Kane Reign was more of a brief blip on the weather map, but when it reigned, it poured: There was “Showstopper,” One Shot,” “Touching My Body” and of course, “Damaged,” one of the greatest pop records of the 00′s. Plus, those album tracks were vastly underrated—”Sleep On It”? “Lights Out”? “2 Of You”? I mean, “Ecstasy (feat. Rick Ross)” alone could make a strong contender for our next national anthem.

Apart from The Pussycat Dolls, they were the Last Great Hope of American Girl Groups.

But let’s not work ourselves into the tizzy just yet. The ladies have a lot of work to do, and their sounds have evolved individually: Dawn’s gone down her moody, forward-thinking alt-R&B path with GoldenHeart, Shannon’s dabbled in country-pop, Aubrey’s begun a brand new O’Day with flaming hot club bangas and Pia Toscano-penned power ballads and Aundrea, well…I actually no idea. I’m just going to assume she’s been staring blankly at a copy of Welcome To The Dollhouse for the past five years and poking pins into a Diddy voodoo doll.

Anyway, this is the greatest news ever: Keep on and Danity Kane on.
