Some tiny bits of various music news:

East 17)
Inbetween Days (by
The Cure)
About You Now ( by
The Sugababes)

Lady Gaga is releasing one of the most boring tracks on her new album as the next single - "
You And I". I loved
"Speechless" from her previous album, but this track sounds like a cheap imitaion of it. Zzzzzzz... The video, with Gaga stumbling around some desert will debut soon. She should just abandon that record already, release a good album and start to come up with her OWN ideas instead of her endless ripoffs.

Cher has revealed that the Gaga written track
"The Greatest Thing", which will appear on the new Cher album, will also have vocals by Gaga on it.

Madonna, it's edgy - it definitely has an attitude." She also revealed that she has been working with songwriter legend
Diane Warren.
*The new box set from
Kylie Minogue entered the UK album chart at #37. Not bad for this kind of release!
*The new album from
Gloria Estefan will be out "this fall". Come on Gloria, give us a proper release date!
