Christina's new single, "Keeps Getting Better," has leaked to the Innernets. Your thoughts? Preview it below, and then read ours...
What we love: Christina is, relatively speaking, restrained vocally in this song. Very few tiresome, overindulgent riffs and runs. She's learning to hold back, and that less is more. We also love that this isn't another Big Ballad; by force of the current music market, we're guessing, Christina has incorporated '80s-style dance beats into her music, and that's a fun relief after her over-the-top sappy numbers like "Beautiful" and "Hurt."
What we don't: The lyrics. "Sometimes I'm a super-bitch"? Yawn. Come on, Christina, grow up. You don't have to prove you're not a Mickey Mouse kid anymore. Just be an adult and stop the juvenile navel-gazing.
According to Faded Youth, Christina said of tomorrow night's VMA performance: “You’re going to get a first look and a first listen at my new image and my new sound. The last album, the style and sound was about vintage glam — this one is all about the future.”
We're amused that today's "future"--both musically and stylistically--are total throwbacks to the "futurism" of the 1980s.
We ask you: Why do big hair, bright colors and electronic instrumentation = future?

Britney VMA Rehearsal Video?
Britney looks good in this "secret rehearsal video" from MSN. She also looks tired, which makes it hard to tell whether she actually is into this or not. We still think Britney isn't into the whole performing thing anymore. But oh well. You can't fight fate, right? Or fake...
Video: Britney's Back!
We're glad Brit appears to be under control these days. "Blackout" is a seriously underrated dance-pop album, and we encourage you to run out and pick it up if you haven't yet. It's a tragedy that Brit's only truly good album was the worst-selling of her career.

Britney Spears Seems Stoned, But Not On Meth at MTV VMAs!
All right, I'm not even going to joke about this. That's how sad it is.
It has nothing to do with men's style, but for God's sake, someone save this girl. She doesn't have enough energy here to possibly be tweaking on crystal, but she's at least stoned, or has had a lobotomy.
Parental Discretion Advised!!!
Here's the rehearsal earlier today. She at least looked like she could move there:
Seriously, what was she on?? Guesses??
