YouTube musicians Alex Goot, Michael Henry and Justin Robinett teamed up to produce a medley of "Rolling In The Deep", "Someone Like You", and "Turning Tables".

It sounds like Adele giving the Rascall Flatts treatment, but I kinda dig it.

Musically, the harmonies and layering are excellent. And, even though it sounds a bit boy-band-ish, I gotta give them props.

Taylor Swift's latest video "Mean" just makes me wanna gag.

I just don't buy her innocent act, so to see her prancing around in another frilly dress, talking back to all the people who ever bullied her, is just nauseating. 

Especially, when halfway through the song, she calls her detractors a liar, pathetic and alone in life. Whatever happened with turning the other cheek? Now T-Swizzle is all about an eye for an eye?

That's just mean.

So, Sugarland and Little Big Town covered Madonna' "Like A Prayer" at a recent concert, and they reworked it as a soulful country song.

I have to hand it to them, they did a pretty good job. And I would think M wouldn't mind, since she did the whole disco cowboy thing a while back and has a penchant for playing guitar.

My only concerns is this will only put more ideas in Madonna's head to play more guitar driven songs when all we want to do is dance. If that happens, we know who to hold accountable.

Ever since Lady Gaga released her latest single, "Born This Way", my friend Kevin has strongly stated that it sounds like a country song put through a disco processor.

He can rest assured that he is completely right because Lady Gaga has randomly released a "country road" version of the hit, validating his claims.

This isn't just your average remix. Gaga re-recorded the vocals and all for this track. And, it works in a campy way.

But, somehow I don't think she's going to win over any Bible Belt fans. So, why did she feel the need to release this version?

By removing all the techno beats, is she trying to prove that the song has a sturdy foundation? Trying to remove the endless comparisons to TLC and Madonna?

I remember when I first saw Gaga's blues-y acoustic take on "Poker Face", which was just as random, but proved to me that she's actually a talented musician. This feels like it's trying to do the same thing...but why? We already know she's talented.

Maybe she's just having some fun.

Either way, bust out your rhinestone-studded cowboy hat (I know you have one) and let's start the hoedown!

So, Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts have recorded a duet together.

This benefits both parties because JB can now gain even more fans, this time from the Bible Belt, while Rascal Flatts are now exposing themselves to little girls. Musically speaking, of course.

The country ballad is a song of longing, as Justin and the lead singer of Rascal Flatts (don't make me google his name) lament a girl they lost to another guy. This duet is about as random as Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney fighting over the same girl. 

Anyway, the video itself is nothing special. One of those music videos about shooting the music video deals. 

The only impression it left me with is that Rascal Flatts dude is butt ugly. 

Here's the video. Please note, it's been flipped around for copyright reasons. Cuz Bieber plays left-handed guitar, not right. And I'm going to go hang myself for knowing that fact so readily.

Oh, Taylor Swift. She of the perfect country-pop songs and the constantly doomed relationships. 

I, for one, am not totally convinced about her good girl image. There's something way to constructed and particular about her persona that makes me want to scream "Bullshit!"

However, in her new video for "Back To December", Taylor reveals that she's not only the victim of heartbreak, but sometimes she can be the cause. She turns her writer's pen on herself and highlights all her own flaws that led to the demise of a relationship, which many people have speculated to be hers with Taylor Lautner.

I can't fault her as a songwriter. Girl can write a really good ballad. 

But, my BS detector is going off like mad. I mean, don't you think it's a little coincidental that her new single is about a break-up, just when it was revealed that Jake Gyllenhaal dumped her... in DECEMBER?!?!? That relationship never made any sense, and the timing is way too coincidental.

Is it crazy for me to think that Swiftenhaal was created just to get more buzz for this song? Perhaps. But, in La-La Land, crazier things have happened.
