Katharine McPhee is a Brunette No More! (*100th Post!*)

First of all, I'd like to say this is the 100th post on What's Poppin' in Pop Culture! My first post was on December 28, 2008 and it was just a welcome post. The first "real" post was about spoilers for the 8th season of American Idol and was posted on the following day. I can't believe I'm up to 100 posts already! Thank you to everyone who's been reading and commenting on my posts!

Ok, now for the real post!

Katharine McPhee, who is typically known as a brunette bombshell, is now a blonde starlite! This hair color change has taken place in the light of apperances and promotions for her new album, called Unbroken, which is scheduled to be released on October 6th. Many people feel that the McPhee lightened her locks in hope of selling more records.

McPhee stated that the hair color change was something she has wanted to do for awhile and it is a symbol of change. This is the first time she dyed her hair ever, so it was a big change for her. She also announced that it has caused her to change her overall style as well.

Do you like her new hair color? I personally think blonde hair looks strange on her and prefer her as a brunette.

Sneak Preview of Blake Lewis' new single, "Sad Song"

I agree with Votefortheworst.com that this song sounds very similar to the songs on his debut album. I loved his first album, it's actually one of my all time favorite Cd's, however, a majority of people, including Lewis' record label weren't feeling it. Lewis has said in the past that he wanted to go in a different direction with his new album, but this definitely isn't a new direction. If Lewis plans on getting a new record deal, sadly I don't think this will do it. However, I've always been a fan of Lewis' music, so I can't complain too much. ;)

Chris Sligh's mess of a music video

Chris Sligh is back of making a mess of music. urgh. I don't like him. I never really have liked him. He's funny and that's about all he has going for him. He should be a comedian, or an actor, not a musician. This song sounds awful and the music video looks so odd. I mean look at those girls dancing behind him. They look so out of place. Those are the type of girls that should be behind in JT in one of his videos, not behind Chris Sligh...a big mess of a blob...

Here's the video, but I'll warn you, it's not very good or worth listening to...at all.
