Queen Kat is truly unstoppable. Despite being ruthlessly swagga jacked by everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Lady Gaga, RedOne's original muse continues to churn out the hits at an alarming rate. I'm still blasting "Dancing Tonight" (easily one of the best singles of 2011), she has the brilliant "Drop It Low" lined up as her next American smash and today marked the arrival of her collaboration with Italian DJ Nicola Fasano. "Tonite" represents a radical change of pace for the Dominican diva. Her trademark Latin rhythms are still there but this is pure club fodder. As expected, Kat effortlessly conquers the new genre and pretty much snatches Kelly Rowland's wig as the go-to guest vocalist for big-name dance music producers in the process. I think this song could really work in Australia. It's very much in tune with the Pitbull club sound currently taking over the charts and one look at the "Whine Up" singer in that sexy leotard will ensure high rotation of the video (below) in strip clubs across the nation. Watch in awe as Kat DeLegend proves yet again why she's the most influential woman in pop music!

I'm seriously obsessed with Kat DeLuna at the moment. As far as I'm concerned, the Dominican diva can do no wrong. I still listen to "Push Push" daily and I'm finally on board with "Party O'Clock" after Jenny's ruthless thievery highlighted what an awesome song it is. Despite that nasty affair, Kat's innovative campaign to become the Belgian Madonna marches bravely on with the third single from "Inside Out". And she has really outdone herself this time. "Dancing Tonight" is the kind of pure pop explosion that grabs you by the balls from the first listen and just squeezes tighter and tighter with each play.
I love everything about this jam from the demented production (which fuses trance elements with Latin rhythms and RedOne-esque urban dance beats) to the hands-in-the-air chorus and cute lyrics. It's utterly joyous and Kat even channels Beyoncé in the video. Seriously, what does this bitch have to do to catch a break? "Dancing Tonight" might be a bit too... gay for the US market but it's custom designed for UK and Australian chart success. Particularly if she releases the rap free version on the promo single. Make sure you check out the pop pioneer's hot video. If "Spinning Around" fucked "Single Ladies", this is how I imagine their love child would look.

Pop Panel is back for another week after a brief hiatus and it's one of the strangest installments yet. I don't think I've ever seen so many songs get full marks or zeros. This is the ultimate love it or hate it week! The winner is also a major surprise. I'm happy it won but I think the second and third place getters are considerably better. I was tempted to re-vote to rig the outcome but I'm not quite that desperate. We also have a fabulous celebrity guest helping out this week but more about her later. Here are the bitches responsible for this week's outcome:
We were also assisted by the following guest judges:
David Lim (Aus) writer of the fabulous Feed Limmy and a budding pop star in his own right. Check out this fabulous demo. I want more!
and
Australian rock chick turned electro-pop sensation Sarah McLeod. Everyone over the age of 25 will remember Sarah as the sexy frontwoman of iconic rock band The Superjesus. Since then she's turned her hand to dance music with major success. "He Doesn't Love You" was absolutely massive in the clubs, my favourite "White Horse" charted internationally and her amazing 2010 comeback song "Double R" is currently being given major support by Tiesto on his world tour. When she's not setting dancefloors on fire, Sarah is helping keep homeless kids off the street. All the proceeds of her latest single - a stunning cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing In The Dark" - are going to a homeless charity, so pull your finger out and download it from iTunes. Check out the song and video below:
As usual the songs are rated for lowest to highest.
American girlband/online sensation sing about... their pussies.
David: My middle finger's totally up in the air. Slags, I think we just stumbled on a new choon to strut our asses to. My pussay's totally doing the krump like you won't believe. 3/5 D'Luv: I liked "Stay The Night", but this is WAY too desperate. These whores need to shut the fuck up and get back to the nightshift at McDonald's. 0/5 Mike: Gross. Ke$ha has her moments but the new Queen of pop's tongue is always firmly in cheek while "Party Like A Millionaire" sounds like a 'how to' manual written by Paris Hilton. If she came from Bankstown. 0/5 Robpop: So this is what happened to Daphne & Celeste. Utterly shit. 0/5 Sarah McLeod: Man I thought Ke$ha was bad, this hitz a new low, great role models those ladies... Mike, you're diluting my precious antique ears. 0/5 The Prophet: Millionaires are so defining and I can't believe I missed that they had a new single out! It's not quite as excellent as their Madonna rip off "Stay the Night" but the disgusting video makes up for it! 5/5 Total: 8/30
RedOne produced Kat's latest stunning Belgium only release.
David: I've grown old waiting for this video to drop but now that I've seen Kat's bebeh face pouting and gyrating, I don't think I want this no more. Why is she still looking like a child with grown chichis? What's with the Belgium-only release? The world needs to get in on this. 4/5 D'Luv: I remember reading an interview with RedOne last year where he said he's only producing material for people who sell records going forward. He must have either been high on K or he's tapping Kat Deluna's already cluttered ass. Not an awful song, but too bad someone with a bit more class like Smokahontas Jones isn't singing it. 2.5/5 Mike: I'm a loud and proud Kat DeLuna stan. "Push Push" is easily one of the best songs of 2010 - but this is ten kinds of tragic from the lame lyrics to embarrassing video. Talk about going from the sublime to the ridiculous. 2/5 Robpop: Torrents of epic lameness. This kind of music is starting to sound so similar now. 0/5 Sarah McLeod: I hate this song and now its stuck in my head, it’s fuckin' awful. Thanx Mike. 1/5 The Prophet: Kat is the Queen of europop and I've been whoring "Party O'Clock" since the demo first leaked. Kat DeLuna is like crack to me - I just can't get enough! 5/5 Total: 14.5/30
Johnny McGovern & Calpernia - Likin' Big Dicks (Video)
A cover of "Like A G6".
David: I cannot wait to pump this as I cruise through the straight club districts. You know them closet hungry bottoms can't help but respond to this. 5/5 D'Luv: These two are still alive? 0/5 Mike: This song is so redundant. It goes without saying that we all like monster cocks but they're not exactly in short supply. It's much harder to find something worthwhile attached to the end of the penis. 2/5 Robpop: This needs a big douche as too full of shit to function. 0/5 Sarah McLeod: It's like Right Said Fred for the new millinium, love it! 5/5 The Prophet: Finally somebody is making music I can relate to. I'm so proud to be a size queen... *sheds tear*. 5/5 Total: 17/30
Natalia Kills - Mirrors (Above)
Natalia has been dubbed the new Lady Gaga. Produced by Akon.
David: I can't wait for this vixen to step out of that "Gaga wannabe" tag so I can get a proper assessment of her style. Dark, menacing and promising - Imma keep this tab open and check back for the next video. 4/5 D'Luv: Wake me up when Lolene Ferreira Kills happens. 2/5 Mike: Natalia is fierce. I love her attitude and mini-movies but she's asking for trouble by releasing "Mirrors" as her debut. It's very similar to "Just Dance" - only without the amazing lyrics about being too drug fucked to find your keys and phone. I'm excited about her album. 3.5/5 Robpop: Synthetic shit that thinks its amazingly hip but so devoid of soul that it emerges as a massive blackhole of creativity. These songs all sound exactly the same now. Stop trying to sound like knock-off Rihanna/GaGa's and get your own sound girls. 0/5 Sarah McLeod: Lady GaGa’s running real low on inspiration these dayz... Oh wait, it's not Lady GaGa... ERROR. I hate seeing the wave of imposters in the wake of someone else’s success. It blows. Having said that if there was no Lady GaGa it wouldn’t be too bad. 3/5 The Prophet: Shits on Tranny GaGa's "Just Flop", but it probably won't become a hit because Natalia has too much class to suck Jimmy Iovine and Akon's cocks like GaGa did to get in the charts! 5/5 Total: 17.5/30
David: Aww. Who's upset our Swedish dance goddess? Because I'm not recognising this raccoon leaking all over the track. True talk: I love me some dance ballads but this sounds painfully dated. It's probably not her schtick but September could use with some avant garde remixers to light up this track. 2/5 D'Luv: This is alright. September has done better. But, hey — maybe with that haircut people will mistake her for Robyn and actually buy this song? 2/5 Mike: LOL at D'Luv insinuating that Robyn actually has hits. But I digress. I worship Petra and "Resuscitate Me" is the cutest thing she's put her name to since "Because I Love You". Everything about this light and fluffy Euro-pop gem pushes my buttons from the unashamedly romantic lyrics to the insidiously catchy chorus. Now how do I get me some of that love CPR? 5/5 Robpop: What do you have if you put Robyn and Booty Luv: you get this rebranded and new look September. And I fucking love it. Really needs a key change and then it would soar into the pop stratosphere. 5/5 Sarah McLeod: “I NEED LOVE CPR”??????????? Is she serious, that’s AWESOME! Ha ha ha ha! 1/5 The Prophet: September just snatch Cuntcada's wig! 5/5 Total: 20/30
Hurts - All I Want For Christmas Is New Year's Day (Video)
Uk electro band unveil the year's most depressing holiday anthem.
David: And the room falls silent. Yo, Mike, what's with the hard-on killer? In light of Mimi's depressingly saccharine Christmas album, this might just be my much-sought after antidote. 3/5 D'Luv: Wow — we actually get one scrap of class this week? Thanks! I like Hurts, though their dour schtick is wearing pretty thin at this point. Still, this perfectly sums up how effing depressing the holidays truly tend be if you're over the age of 10. 5/5 Mike: Finally a song that captures the pure misery of Christmas. Until now I had dismissed Hurts as a Pet Shop Boys tribute act but this might just convert me. 5/5 Robpop: And breathe. Finally an act and song that dares to include a melody, real vocals and interesting narrative. I love this. 4.5/5 Sarah McLeod: Wow I LOVED this band when I heard "Better Than Love" but this song is L.A.M.E, most christmas songs are though... unless they’re carols, in which case they’re RAD! 3/5 The Prophet: The only Christmas songs worth playing are Vanessa Hudgen's "Winter Wonderland" and Fiona Apple's Frosty the Snowman. All else = fail. The only thing that hurts about this Xmas tune are my fucking ears. 0/5 Total: 20.5/30
Forget 2NE1 and Girls Generation, South Korea's defining girlband is here.
David: This is totally satiating my Asian persuasion but I don't know, gurls. Them stakes are raised pretty high for K-pop girl bands right now and that choreography's definitely setting them back a bit. Why wasn't I called in to coach them on the booty bounce? 3/5 D'Luv: My favorite member of Kara is the one with the huge cock. 3/5 Mike: Oh look, it's the pretty and talented version of 2NE1! Utterly stunning! 5/5 Robpop: Nice but we've heard this all before. 0.5/5 Sarah McLeod: ASIAN JAILBAIT... I felt perverted watching this clip. 5/5 The Prophet: Mike is a cunt for ignoring my stunning K-Pop suggestions of 2NE1 and Orange Caramel in favor or KARAccident, but I'm stanning for K-Pop lately so they get full marks, even if the song itself is beneath the ones I suggested! 5/5 Total: 21.5/30
Hmmm. I can't believe I'm upset about this week's outcome. The winner is genuinely amazing but I feel that the runner-up is the defining anthem of our time and will be looked back on in years to come as one of the greatest collaborations of the noughties. Oh well, at least my favourite Mexican pop tart almost scored a massive upset with her stunning tune and it's good to see the world's second worst girlband get the trashing they deserve. However, one thing that annoys me is when a song gets an unwarranted beat down just because it's popular. You'll know what I mean. Anyway, I love more than half of tonight's songs - which has to be some kind of record! Here are this week's judges:
The UK's latest girlband has a very unfortunate looking lead singer.
D'Luv: So, they’re basically wrangling in any back-alley Croydon hooker for girl bands these days? 0/5 Mike: They make City Girls look like the original Sugababes. 0/5 Paul: The girls have their lipstick setting on 'whore' in the video and will this succeed where the infinitely better Mini Viva have failed? I think, upon reflection, emphatically no! I couldn't even work out a tune in this... 1/5 Rob: Brilliant video. But lame song. Actually scrap that. The song isn't too bad. But the finished product is terrible. This is like an unfinished demo. Yikes. 2/5 The Prophet: Oh look, it's the new JLS video. 0/5 Tommie: Despite looking like Dana International times 3, I can't help liking the song. It'll probably not dent the chart, but nice to see some good girl group pop from the UK. 3/5 Total: 6/30
Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dog – Caifornia Gurls (Video)
Already a #1 smash. Everywhere.
D'Luv: I liked this the first time I heard it about two months ago. But now it makes me want to take one of those whipped cream cans jutting out from Katy’s tits and cram it in her fucking mouth. Oh well — we’ll all laugh in the end when Russell Brand’s wang finally rots off and gets lost up her taco swamp. Ta dah! 1/5 Mike: Say what you like about Katy Perry. In the space of 3 years she's moved from Christian music to faux rock and now urban flavoured pure pop. "California Gurls" isn't as amazing as "Hot N Cold" or "Waking Up In Vegas" but it's pretty much irresistible despite the formulaic chorus and ultra cheesy lyrics. However, I'm taking off one point because the delicious video is wreaking havoc with my no solids diet! 4/5 Paul: First of all I hate the spelling of 'gurls'. I know that seems a bit churlish but I find it so irritating. Perhaps some people can pull that off, but it's a very small minority and Katy isn't one of them. I've always been a bit hot and cold with Katy and this is pleasant enough, but it's hardly the most progressive pop song in the world. In fact, it's annoying me, I'm turning it off (grumpy cunt!!) 2/5 Rob: I seriously wanted to dislike this but like the flu it takes over you. Thank the amazing video and Dr.Luke's wonderful production for that. And the fact that this is Ke$ha's Tik Tok albeit with different lyrics. 3.5/5 The Prophet: I would give Katy's sticky & sweet candyland adventure a full score, but since she stole this song from Queen Ke$ha, I have to give her a slight markdown. 4.5/5 Tommie: I already heard this before and it was called "Tik Tok". Nobody puts the drunken skank in the corner! 0/5 Total: 15/30
D'Luv: This sounds like the kind of tripe that would have fit in on Sugababe’s Sweet 7 floptastrophe. NEXT. 1.5/5 Mike: So fucking good! This is one of my favourite songs of the year. The chorus is fire and I love the trashy Akon rap. I'm so glad Kat has her swag back even if I think it's going to flop harder than her last half dozen "hits". 5/5 Paul: Oh I was surprised by how much I really liked this. It's quite good fun with a filthy little chorus that I really enjoyed. I really liked the music behind the vocal too and it was all quite good. 4/5 Rob: Kat does her best Rihanna impression and instead ends up like a cheap Javine. 2/5 The Prophet: I'm Kat Deluna's only fan but this is my least favorite single of hers - ever. It sounds like a RedOne B-side. 3.5/5 Tommie: Oh Skat, er, Kat. This just won't do it for you honey. 2/5 Total: 18/30
D'Luv: Pretty solid jam. Beautiful video. Really digging this broad, even though it sounds like she swallowed Ellie Goulding’s fish trough. 4/5 Mike: Am I listening to the same song? This just sounds like something Sarah McLachlan excreted in 1997 set to a cheap electronic backing track. Kylie should spend her time promoting real talent like Jennifer Rush. 0/5 Paul: Adore. Amazing voice, gorgeously emotive song, dramatic production. What's not to like? And she got tweeted by Kylie Minogue! So much more than just the vocalist on the freemasons hit. Plus the packaging for this single is brilliant. 5/5 Rob: Pure class. This drips brilliance. It refuses to fall into genre. It refuses to be average. This is raises the standard. A gem amongst the stars. 5/5 The Prophet: This would sound better if it was DANNII'S new fave and not her less relevant sisters. 3/5 Tommie: Oh Kylie. This is why you don't get to pick material for your albums. 2/5 Total: 19/30
D'Luv: Screw Katy Pussy — THIS is a real Max Martin jam. I’ve been a late passenger on the Adam Lambert train, but his past two singles (this and “Whataya Want From Me”) have really grown on me. Fingers crossed that it at least charts at #97 in the U.S.! 4/5 Mike: Um, this totally rips off Kelly Clarkson's vastly superior "If I Can't Have You". Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but hardly revolutionary. 2/5 Paul: Definitely one of the stronger tracks from his album. Indeed, he has the rather good trick of being able to release a song that - after a few spins - ends up trumping the single before it. It's basically a guy sung version of "Since U Been Gone", much like Backstreet Boys' "Larger Than Life" to Britney's "You Drive Me Crazy". And there's nothing wrong with that... 3.5/5 Rob: Put Pink and Tokio Hotel in one act and you've got Adam Lambert. This girl is on fire and I respect that. It's not unique or as groundbreaking it thinks it is. Will become background music in Target in 12 months time if it hasn't already. 3/5 The Prophet: I love Glambert and I used to have frequent fantasies about him fucking my brains out, but then when I discovered he was a natural red head I just couldn't do it anymore. I still love the music though. 4.5/5 Tommie: I thought "Whataya Want From Me" was a hit? Clearly it has not affected his promotional budget, as this video does show. Still, decent tune that should be a minor hit for him. 3/5 Total: 20/30
Mexico's Queen of Pop ups the ante with this stunning blockbuster.
D'Luv: Why do I have a feeling Anahi fucked EVERY extra in this video—including the tree? 2/5 Mike: Genius. What a song! What a video! I swear Mexico is my spiritual home. When is a rich Mexican going to sweep me off my feet so I can listen to this kind of trash on the radio all day while drinking tequila shots and watching bad telenovelas on mute? I'm waiting... 5/5 Paul: It's very catchy isn't it? Not sure why she is wandering around Pandora in the video, but it's irrelevant really. I have no idea what the song is about but that tin pot rhythm, wafer thin vocals and deliriously delightful chorus have me hooked for a few minutes at least. 3.5/5 Rob: I woulda gone with a different song from her amazing album but I suppose she has to make herself distinct from Gloria Trevi: the real Mexican Queen of Pop. I think Thalia has covered this sound before but good on Anahi for pushing it forward. Bonus points for a random-as-fuck-but-fab video. 4/5 The Prophet: This video is defining! 3/5 Tommie: Oh I really like it, but it reminds me of another song. Still, it's all good. 4/5 Total: 21.5/30
Memphis Blac feat. Smokahontas Jones - Got Dat Work(Video)
Visual and aural Viagra!
D'Luv: Mom?!? 5/5 Mike: Genuinely catchy and possibly the most quotable song of all time. For example: "You can call me MILF Diddy", "You wanna lay me baby, well you gonna have to pay me" and my personal fave "I'm in the cockpit chewin' on the pilot's dick"! Modern art. 5/5 Paul: Dear god. words absolutely fail me. But I know I couldn't get the shower hot enough after watching this. SHUDDER. 1/5 Rob: I love the condom necklace. Where can I get one of those? 2/5 The Prophet: Absolutely I-C-O-N-I-C. I never thought anybody would be able to snatch Queen Khia's crown, but if anybody can it's Memphis Blac and Smokahontas Jones! 5/5 Tommie: Finally, an anthem for all us cheap prostitutes trying to earn a honest living. 5/5 Total: 23/30
D'Luv: Yes, yes, yes. Shooting bottle rockets out of my pants on the 4th of July for this hot bitch’s latest album. 5/5 Mike: The video is boring by Kelis' usually high standards but this is the standout track from her bizarrely overhyped album. I love the production and gorgeous chorus. The Calvin Harris remix is also a winner. 5/5 Paul: D'Luv got me totally hooked on "Acapella" and the album, and I do love a calendar-correct themed release, so I was quite excited by this sparse but percussive groove. It totally gets in your head after a couple of plays in an insiduous way. Though nothing stops me wanting to shout "I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW" everytime I play any of her tunes. 3.5/5 Rob: Overhyped. Overdried. Overboard. Over it. 2/5 The Prophet: Kelis >>> ya faves. 4.5/5 Tommie: Kelis is possibly the most underrated woman in pop (after La Toya) and she doesn't dissapoint on her second single lifted from "Flesh Tone" (OUT NOW!). Anthemic and uplifting. 5/5 Total: 25/30
Kat De Luna has to be the unluckiest woman in pop. The current urban dance craze can be traced directly back to her 2007 album "9 Lives", yet the Dominican diva gets no credit for paving the way for Rihanna & co - let alone acknowledgement for hooking up with RedOne well before Lady Gaga. I guess revenge is a dish best served bankrupt because Kat continues to work with the hottest names in the industry despite having more flops than Dannii. But there could be some method to her madness if "Push Push" is any indication. This stunning call to the dancefloor is one of the best American pop songs of 2010 (along with Livvi Franc's "Automatik" and the ubiquitous "Better Than Her"). The production - courtesy of RADIO - is equal parts electro-dance and dancehall. I love the catchy handclaps and vocal hooks, while the euphoric chorus grabs you by the balls and refuses to let go. Akon's rap is also a surprising treat. "Come on closer with your umbrella, 'cause you're about to get rained on" is either the year's most romantic rhyme or a disturbing reference to watersports that I'll choose to ignore! Don't be put off by the demos that have been floating around the net since January. The finished version (below) is a massive improvement, lifting the original material to new heights. "Push Push" is released on the 6th of April. Fingers crossed Queen Kat finally has a hit on her hands. Oh and make sure you check out the pop pioneer's Myspace to hear the song in Spanish. I want it. Bad!
EDIT: I got in trouble for posting the final version. Here's the next best thing on Youtube!
Queen Kat is truly unstoppable. Despite being ruthlessly swagga jacked by everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Lady Gaga, RedOne's original muse continues to churn out the hits at an alarming rate. I'm still blasting "Dancing Tonight" (easily one of the best singles of 2011), she has the brilliant "Drop It Low" lined up as her next American smash and today marked the arrival of her collaboration with Italian DJ Nicola Fasano. "Tonite" represents a radical change of pace for the Dominican diva. Her trademark Latin rhythms are still there but this is pure club fodder. As expected, Kat effortlessly conquers the new genre and pretty much snatches Kelly Rowland's wig as the go-to guest vocalist for big-name dance music producers in the process. I think this song could really work in Australia. It's very much in tune with the Pitbull club sound currently taking over the charts and one look at the "Whine Up" singer in that sexy leotard will ensure high rotation of the video (below) in strip clubs across the nation. Watch in awe as Kat DeLegend proves yet again why she's the most influential woman in pop music!
