Lorde : The Anti-Miley

Who’s Lorde, you might ask yourself? Lorde, born Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O’Connor, is the new music sensation. You might not know who she is, or what she looks like, but you have probably heard her new song “Royals”. By debuting at the n.1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, beating out Katy Perry‘s “Roar” and Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball“, it made Lorde the youngest female artist (at 16) to get such an achievement since Tifanny in 1987.

Lovelace vs The Canyons : The Mean Girls Battle

Once upon a time two teenage actresses, a blond and a red-hair, were on Mean Girls together. One of them was the next It girl of Hollywood, she was the last Disney idol. She was definitely on her way up at the time. The other one was almost a nobody, just a sexy next-door blond actress in a teen movie. This was 10 years ago. After this movie that we all liked and watched twice time at least, one of them started to build a strong career and be taken seriously. Last year she played on a very big production that ended up awarded. However no nomination for the actress, but she’s young, very young and she has time to prove herself.

The MTV VMA’s, one of THE most promotional show that rewards every goddamn popular music video  on Vevo. And after every edition the most-talked-about is the one who made the most controversial or awkward performance ( cf Brit Brit in 2007 with gimme more ) or had the most baddass attitude (cf Kanye West grabbing Taylor Swifty award in 2009 ). And this year the little blond one, Miley Cyrus – who looks more and more like a 12 year old gay boy, made the buzz. She absolutely won the media battle of who-are-we-gonna-talk-about-tomorrow because obviously this show is a total bore and nobody gives a shit of who won what except when scandalicious !! Miley, for better or worse, was the undisputed “winner” of the VMAs even though she didn’t actually win awards for any of her four Moon Man nominations. And we can’t stop, …
