Pop Conspiracy: Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” Vs. Rihanna’s “S.O.S.”

Britney Spears' new single "Womaizer" made its debut in full today on New York City station Z100 FM. The pic above is Britboxx on the set of the video, which is being directed by Joseph Khan—who also did her clips for "Stronger" and "Toxic."

One thing's clear about "Womanizer"...it sounds exactly like Rihanna's "S.O.S."! It also kinda sounds like "Radar," off Britney's Blackout.



Doesn't it also seem like that bridge to the chorus is a bit lyrically-challenged? ("Womanizer, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer...")

Did Britney write this gem herself?

Pop Conspiracy: Pussycat Dolls Vs. Girls Aloud

The Pussycat Dolls' second single "Whatcha Think About That" off their forthcoming Doll Domination album has hit the airwaves. (I should know, I heard it last week while driving to pick up Chinese takeout.)

After it was added to iTunes on Tuesday, I couldn't help noticing the resemblance to the single cover for Girls Aloud's "Sexy! No No No..."

Of course, the main difference being that PCD look like two-dollar hookers, while Girls Aloud probably charge 20 and make you wear a condom.

Meanwhile, "Whatcha Think About That" isn't half bad, and actually kind of makes up for the banal atrocity that is "When I Grow Up." It also contains a rap from Missy Elliott, with the line: "Up in that club it's just me and my girls/Play like Katy Perry, kissing on girls."

Stay classy, Missy!

SIDE NOTE: To read grown men poetically masturbating over Girls Aloud's new single "The Promise"—which in D'luv's book doesn't hold a candle to last year's "Call The Shots—go here (Adem With An E) and here (XO's Middle Eight).

Eric Prydz, I Luv U Baby!

Will D’luv’s restless ears ever tire of hearing and invoking a pop conspiracy? This week’s U.K. chart finds Eric Prydz’ ’90s house throwback “Pjanoo” (or piano) enter at #2, matching the Swede DJ’s January 2007 peak with “Proper Education.”But I can’t help drawing at least a somewhat minute parallel between “Pjanoo” and one of my all-time fave ’90s Euro-dance classics, The Original’s “I Luv U Baby”—another jam that peaked at #2 on the U.K. chart in August 1995 (exactly 14 years ago this month).Jesus, MoogaBoo and I used to go out and cut a rug to that one when we were 21. What are we now? 26? Yeah, sounds about right.Elsewhere, Alphabeat’s “Boyfriend” climbs to #15. Good. It deserves it, if only for the masterful “Pete Hammond Mix” (listen here). That particular version has become a clear frontrunner for my fave track of 2008 so far.Do yourself a favor: Hop…

Pop Conspiracy: Rihanna’s “Disturbia” Video Vs. Pet Shop Boys’ “Yesterday When I Was Mad”

Rihanna’s “Disturbia” video just popped up on YouTube but will probably get yanked soon. It’s directed by David LaChapelle, and is slightly reminiscent of Pet Shop Boys’ 1994 clip for “Yesterday When I Was Mad,” in that they both quite literally deal with mental anguish and madness. Apparently Chris Brown, who co-wrote “Disturbia,” had originally planned to record the song himself for Exclusive, but felt it needed a female voice.It all sort of makes sense now, given Chris’ idolization of Michael Jackson, and how much I initially thought “Disturbia” sounded like a modern day “Thriller” before I knew he wrote it.I have to say, I really admire how much Chris Brown and Rihanna are changing the sound of American pop.

Pop Conspiracy: Hayden Panettiere’s “Wake Up Call” Vs. Paris Hilton’s “Stars Are Blind”

Great… another broad who thinks she can multi-task her way into the hearts of millions. Heroes ho Hayden Panettiere’s new single “Wake Up Call” bears mucho resemblance to Paris Hilton’s “Stars Are Blind.”Which one do you think sounds more like an Auto-Tuned blowup doll?Meanwhile, did you know 18-year-old Hayden’s actually a Grammy nominee? Granted, it was in the “spoken word for children” category, for A Bug’s Life in 1999 (when she was nine!!).One thing’s for sure—that 31-year-old kiddie-fiddler beau of hers, Milo Ventimiglia, looks like he’d be a decent bounce.

Pop Conspiracy: Lily Allen Rips Off Take That, Mark Ronson Doesn’t Stick It In Joss Stone

Two-bit hooker Good ol’ Lily Allen has admitted she ripped off Take That’s 2007 U.K. #1 hit “Shine” with her new song “Who’d Of Known,” which is streaming on her MySpace.The lazy plagiarist writes on her MySpace blog: [sic x 10]“i haveput up a song that wont make it on the album . i ripped off the chous from take that and i can’t be bothered with the paperwork , so here ya go .”Here’s the video for Take That’s “Shine”:Meanwhile, handsome Brit producer Mark Ronson all but admitted he turned down Joss Stone in one of her fuck-for-tracks bids gone wrong.Says Heat World:”I’m not the sort of producer that shags every artist he works with. I’ve had enough offers, but I’m very picky,” he said.The star then went on to brag, “I’ve said no to a very famous, white, bland and very boring English soul chick, whom shall remain…
