I don't know if this has been posted, but CRJ is featured on a song called "Rest the Streets" by Danish pop/rock band A Friend in London. Super random, but it's a pretty cute song.

A Grammy maybe? Carly Rae Jepsen heads for goldBy MARK KENNEDY | Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" became the soundtrack for endless viral online fun last year: U.S. infantry soldiers lip-synched to it in Afghanistan's Kunar Province. So did James Franco and the U.S. Olympic swim team. Models from Abercrombie & Fitch showed off their abs to it, as did hair-whipping Miami Dolphins cheerleaders. Dogs have barked the whole song. Parodies of it have been parodied. Fellow singers from Katy Perry to Selena Gomez embraced the pop goodness. Even the Cookie Monster jumped on the "Call Me Maybe" train. The song put 27-year-old Jepsen, who finished third on a season of "Canadian Idol," in the spotlight and on a path to potential Grammy gold. The monster hit is nominated for song of the year and best pop vocal performance at the Feb. 10 awards show. "I was gunning maybe for Top 10 on iTunes. That was my little, mini secret goal," she said recently by phone from Los Angeles, where she was picking out a dress to wear to the Grammys, where she'll also present an award. The song had a nine week-arc on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has sold more than 6.7 million tracks in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The only thing Jepsen hasn't been able to do is have album sales that match her powerful single. She put out the CD "Kiss" last September, but despite a hit second single — the double platinum "Good Time" with Owl City — the album has sold only 226,000 copies. "I think with (a) song being as big as 'Call Me Maybe,' there's always that challenge of how do we push past that and show people that there is more to offer," she said. "I'm confident whether it's with this album or the next, I'll be able to prove that." Gary Trust, an associate director and columnist at Billboard, says sales faced an uphill battle since pop these days is a singles medium, not album-orientated. "She might have been able to sell more if they were able to put the album out quicker," he said of "Kiss," which arrived five months after her smash song was released. "But I think, no matter what, the song was going to outsell any album she could put out." The song, which Jepsen co-wrote with guitarist Tavish Crowe and Marianas Trench lead singer Josh Ramsay, will compete in the song of the year category at the Grammys with No.1 hits from fun. and Kelly Clarkson, as well as critically acclaimed tunes from U.K. singer Ed Sheeran and R&B performer Miguel. A year ago, before her breakthrough on the music charts, Jepsen was like everyone else: looking forward to a good awards show on TV. "To be really honest with you, leading up to every Grammy weekend except for this one, I was getting comfy in my PJs with my popcorn bowl and deciding whose dress I liked the best," she said. "So it'll be different for me to actually put on a dress of my own." ____ news.yahoo.com/grammy-maybe-carly-rae-jepsen-heads-gold-134335233.html

"Kiss?" Who are you referring to? Call Me Maybe. Edit: LOL I meant to write Carly Rae Jepsen. So I laughed at this at first; but then I really thought about what this really displays. Carly Rae Jepsen has become so synonymous with the song, that to your average person they can be used interchangeably. It's hard to care about Carly Rae Jepsen the artist; when most people just know Carly Rae Jepsen the girl who sung Call Me Maybe. I feel she's been so type-casted as a one-hit-wonder due to the sheer virality of the song. It's for this reason I don't feel anything else is really going to come out of this era, even though the album has plenty of good tracks. She's really going to need to establish herself in her next era if she wants to break the stigma around her.

We need to wait and see how TIGOY does. It could be that "Kiss" was a fluke flop of the 4 singles released from the album. If that is the case, it sucks that "Kiss" was the single during the holiday season, but oh well. She still has a shot at going gold.

If she performs one of her songs, I hope she did TIGOY. I have no idea if that show, or Disney in general, has much of an audience these days, but it could maybe get it into the top 200 on iTunes.

Jepsen drops Boy Scouts event over gay rightsBy CHRIS TALBOTT | Associated Press – 45 mins ago NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Carly Rae Jepsen is canceling her performance at the national Boy Scouts of America Jamboree because of the organization's exclusion of gays. Jepsen, the Canadian pop singer best known for the inescapable hit "Call Me Maybe," made the announcement Tuesday on Twitter. "I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level," she wrote, "... and stay informed on the ever changing landscape in the ongoing battle for gay rights in this country and across the globe." Rock band Train also has taken a stand, but pursued a different tack in a post on its website Friday. The group asked the BSA to reconsider its policy rather than immediately pull out of the July gathering in West Virginia. The event, held once every four years, is expected to draw more than 45,000 scouts and adults. Members of Train said Friday in a message on their website that they were unaware of the policy barring gay scouts and adult leaders from participating in the organization before agreeing to perform. "Train strongly opposes any kind of policy that questions the equality of any American citizen," the statement said. "We have always seen the BSA as a great and noble organization. We look forward to participating in the Jamboree this summer, as long as they make the right decision before then." Deron Smith, publicity director for the BSA, says the organization is moving forward with plans for the Jamboree. "We appreciate everyone's right to express an opinion and remain focused on delivering a great Jamboree program for our Scouts," Smith wrote in an email. Smith was unaware of any other performers scheduled to participate in the event. The BSA's policy has drawn attention before and gay rights organizations hailed Jepsen and members of Train for taking a stand and helping to bring the issue back into the public debate. "Carly Rae Jepsen and Train's decisions not only send the right message to the BSA, but remind LGBT young people that they are supported and accepted," said Rich Ferraro, GLAAD's vice president of communications, in a statement.
