Recently, Popjustice wrote a piece slating Natalia Kills and exposing her to be 100% style and negligible substance. Well, we hate to be douchey about this (we love it) but we've sort of felt like this about her all along. We wrote a thing about her music video for "Mirrors" in December claiming that we couldn't work out whether she was a visionary (but misunderstood) genius, or a very-well calculated and cynical copycat. Well we decided on the latter, as, it seems, did everyone else.
But the plot thickens. Just as we've written Natalia off as someone who, like fetch, will never happen, and, who, like Cady Heron, is just a less hot version of Regina George (Germanotta), she releases the teaser trailer for her new single, "Wonderland".
And it looks incredible. Genuinely dark and disturbing (as opposed to the kind of lame, boring 'dark and disturbing' that is generally used to describe kids' films, when the studio wants to market it to teenagers and young adults and parents, too), visually striking, other complimentary and left of centre adjectives... the song sounds pretty good too.
We'll wait for the full thing to form a full judgement, but... this, we like.

It still looks like a complete ripoff to me. We'll see what the final video looks like, but I think she's a big fat phoney. All she has to do is open her mouth and you can tel the visionary bullshit has been grafted onto her. The Sarah Palin of pop music.
