Perhaps ironically, I really liked Miss Independent.

No need to like it ironically, it's a good song.

I never really paid attention to the lyrics in Stronger, mainly because I am focusing on work and the backing track is annoyingly loud and catchy, so I never really found issue with the song. The minute Todd started on the cliches, I got realised that I do not care for this song. That isn't to say it is on my all-time hatelist*

, just that I'm not a big fan of it.

Kelly Clarkson doesn't get much airplay this side of the Atlantic. So I was kinda surprised she actually had a carreer after American Idol.

Pizza makes me stronger, too.

Does anyone else want to see Todd In the Shadows in a crossover review of From Justine to Kelly?

[up] Justin*, Justine is a female name.

But yeah. That would probably make for a good episode.

But no one gets mauled by monsters in it! Wasn't that the reason why he couldn't get anyone to review it last time?

I never saw From Justin to Kelly, but how bad it was (combined with how quickly it was rushed to video/DVD and the fact that I used to be a huge American Idol fan) has only made me want to see it more. But a review from Todd and someone else would suffice. I could see it being another Todd/NChick crossover.

@Jethro: Yeah, over here on the American side of the Atlantic her music gets played constantly. Even the songs that Todd mentioned tanked were still overplayed as hell.

I still love "Because of You" and "Since U Been Gone", though.

I love "Never Again" but everything else she's put out I find mediocre.

"Stronger": Todd, you could've taken the phone to the door, you unfeeling cad. Hilarious as usual.

I hear this song a lot on the radio, and for some reason I never realised that same person sang this and "Mr. Know It All". Maybe they were just so average they washed over my ears and left no trace afterwards. On the other hand, I have a manic-depressive coworker who loves this song and finds it inspirational, but I find the lyrics generically upbeat, like Katy Perry's "Firework". I did find Todd's breakdown of the lyrics and find nothing going on quite interesting.

Todd recently posted on his Twitter "I've never had to put black censor boxes over my episodes. ...That changes with this next episode".

Intreasting.

Seeing as how she's losing her mind over him, he's said no to her constantly and Lindsay said it would extremely creepy if they got together in-character, I'm gonna guess that's not what happens.

I specifically remember a few friends linking me to a music video that was basically soft core porn, so maybe that's it. Also one of Cee Lo Green's music videos has nudity in it so it could be that.

It might be Gotye and Kimbra's "Somebody That I Used to Know", but I always thought that kind of music was something Todd personally likes and he really enjoys it when it makes big (see Neon Trees in 2010, Foster the People in 2011). Maybe it might be another "N in Paris" episode and be a review of a song Todd actually likes? Or maybe he actually hates it? Or maybe that's not it at all? Or...

[up] You can't really see any boob (even side-angle) or penis in that video though. Maybe a curve of arse, but I wouldn't think that needs to be black-boxed.

[up][up] The black bars might not be for the actual video. Maybe a skit or something (of course, not blocking actual flesh)?

Bah, it's probably not Gotye anyway.

But he didn't add it. He said he looks like that in real life without the mask.

We already did Fatal Attraction ("IT'S NUTELLA, BITCH"), so the obvious step would be for Todd to get insanely jealous all of a sudden when Lindsay finds somebody else.

I'm a skeptical squirrel
