The more things seem to change… the more they stay the same.

It’s that very sentiment that prevails when reflecting on a track released exactly 10 years ago.

This week’s From The Vault comes courtesy of Pink and her parodic ‘Stupid Girl.’

The launching single from Ms Moore’s 2006 fourth LP ‘I’m Not Dead,’ ‘Girl’ saw her team up with producers Billy Mann and MachoPsycho to vent her displeasure with modern society’s sexism and its habit of promoting “brainless bimbos” instead of strong and intelligent women.

[Sidenote: The irony about the girls Pink targets in this song is they are anything but “brainless” and very aware of how they are perceived… which in itself is the problem. But we digress]

Commercially, ‘Girls’ served as a solid comeback cut especially considering the dire performance of her previous effort ‘Try This’ and its singles; the track  peaked at #13 in the US and #4 in the UK and Australia.

***********

Frequent collaborator Dave Meyers was brought on-board to bring the song to visual life, which he – as ever – achieved amazingly.

Spoofing the likes of Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton, video embodied the tongue-in-cheek(ness) of the lyrics and showcased Pink prodding at the superficiality of society while stressing the importance of individualism and education.

The effort paid effort, as the clip won the Best Pop Video at the 2006 VMAs.

A decade removed from this release, the rise of vapid and talent-devoid celebrities has intensified and young girls – and boys – around the world are “following” them with even more eagerness than before.

Our main issue with the “it-girl” culture is how irrelevant the concept of a strong WORK ethic then becomes for the younger generation and how “FAME” is turning into a Mount Everest of sorts.

Sadly, it doesn’t look like the tide will be turning anytime soon, so let’s hope the Pinks of this world will always be given a platform to…well.. tell it like it is.

‘Underground,’ a pre-Civil War-based series centered around a group of Georgia plantation slaves who embark on a 600-mile trek to freedom via the Underground Railroad, has been colored with controversy since its 2015 announcement.

Executive produced by Grammy & Academy Award winning singer John Legend, the WGN America program (starring Jurnee Smollett-Bell) has seen its fair share of criticism as some argue it supports the notion the only noteworthy roles available for black actors are those based on slavery or some dark area of the African Americans’ past in the America.

But, despite ongoing skepticism, the show – which made its premiere last night – set viewership records for its network home.  Get the details below:

It appears not even the combined forces of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Adele, and Justin Bieber would be enough to save this year’s Grammys from failing to attract viewers.

Indeed, after yesterday’s preliminary reports of 23.72 million (which did not include DVR numbers) indicated a low tune-in for the LL Cool J-hosted affair, today’s official and final figures confirm the previously suspected:  folks were simply not here for Grammys 2016 (even seeing a ratings decline from last year’s showing).
