P!nk's 'F**kin' Perfect' Clip: Sneak Peek! (VIDEO)

Been wondering what kind of video treatment P!nk would give to her bluntly titled single, "F**ckin' Perfect"? Today's your lucky day.

A snippet from the upcoming video has meandered its way onto the Internet. Clearly, the topic of childhood is weighing heavily on the mother-to-be's mind these days.

The video for the song, which is included on P!nk's recent compilation Greatest Hits...So Far!!!, was filmed in December.

Adele Covers The SteelDrivers’ “If It Hadn’t Been For Love”

While Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” has been available for the past month on iTunes, the physical CD single doesn’t come out in the UK until this coming Monday (January 17). And on it sits the bluesy, acoustic B-side “If It Hadn’t Been For Love,” which you can hear below.


“If It Hadn’t Been For Love” is a cover of a song by Nashville bluegrass act The SteelDrivers, from their 2008 self-titled LP. And given the new material we’ve heard so far from Adele, this is quite a different number than the stomping “Rolling In The Deep” and mournful piano ballad “Someone Like You.”

Of course, as the 22-year-old Brit demonstrated on her debut LP 19, she’s quite adept at wrapping that big voice around a slew of genres


At the end of the day, “If It Hadn’t Been For Love” is a curious little number that has probably rightly been relegated to B-side status. But if anything, it’s whet our appetite further for Adele’s upcoming 21.

Brit Awards 2011 Nominees

Despite selling millions of records worldwide for the second year in a row, Susan Boyle is shut out of the Brit Awards yet again. “She’s not cool and she’s not young… so she’s not for the Brits,” said one music industry insider to The Daily Mail of the 49-year old singer. Ouch. Somehow, other not-young artists like Bruce Springsteen (61) and Robert Plant (62) scored nominations – we guess they’re just super cool?


Other cool and relatively young nominees include Eminem, who goes up against Kanye West, Cee Lo Green, David Guetta and “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen for International Solo Male. And Katy Perry will compete against Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue and Robyn for International Solo Female. (Surprisingly, no Lady Gaga noms this year, despite her sweeping last year’s ceremony.) Head below for the full list of nominees.

If girls ruled last year’s Brit Awards, this year is it’s the guys’ time to shine. Four out of the five nominees for Best International Breakthrough act are men or groups of men (or in Justin Bieber’s case, a teenage boy), and even the fifth nominee, the Glee cast, is half comprised of dudes.

Plus, besides Fergie’s lovely lady lumps and the few females of Arcade Fire’s army of members, the International Group selections favor the XY chromosome as well, while Katy Perry is the lone female voice in International Album.

The 2011 Brit Awards take place at the o2 Arena in London on February 15.
