Move over Mariah and Madonna...

Donna Summer is back with yet another single from her upcoming album, Crayons. And all I can say is WOW! This is such a great song! It's called "Stamp Your Feet". It's got a catchy beat to it and the lyrics are fun to sing along with. It's not a traditional dance/disco song that we're accustomed to hearing from Donna, but it's still fun to dance to, and contemporary enough for radio. I doubt radio programmers will give much love to this song (read: ageism), but they should -- it's a perfect summer radio song. With so much written about Mariah and Madonna's new albums, it's unfortunate that Summer, who has had obvious influences on both female artists, is not getting as much press or attention. Personally, I think "Stamp Your Feet" is superior to both Carey's "Touch My Body" and Madonna's "4 Minutes" .

This is definitely one song we'll stamp our feet to, Queen Donna!

It's all about ME, ME, ME!

What is with the marketing of the "Sex and the City" movie? Why is Sarah Jessica Parker the only cast member in the posters? I've seen two posters, the first with the tagline "Get Carried Away", featuring only SJP, and a recent one featuring a haggered, witch-like SJP, again, on her own. I thought SATC was an ensemble show -- oh, wait -- I forgot. It was supposed to be a star vehicle for SJP until, um, the talents of Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis stole the spotlight from SJP. The three other women deserve to be on that poster as much as SJP does. Where are they?
