Katy Perry says her new single with Snoop Dogg, “California Gurls,” is a West Coast answer song to Alicia Keys and Jay-Z’s “Empire State Of Mind.” (The song debuted this week at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.) Perhaps a new West Coast/East Coast battle is brewing. But could Katy’s spelling also be a nod to Big Star? “September Gurls” was one of the better-known songs by the band, led by recently passed cult figure Alex Chilton. What do you think: Is Katy a Big Star fan, or did she just misspell “Grrrls”?
Just the first paragraph from The Week In Music. Imagine how great the rest is.
Nominations for the 10th edition of the BET Awards were announced today with GRAMMY-winning artist Jay-Z in the lead with five nominations. Following Jay-Z with four nominations each are GRAMMY winners Beyoncé and Alicia Keys, and GRAMMY-nominated artists Melanie Fiona and Trey Songz.
