The only thing that could make a Justin Bieber song better is featuring less of Justin Bieber. So by that measure, “Boyfriend” just got an upgrade in the form of a remix with 2 Chainz, Mac Miller and Asher Roth. Unfortunately, by objective standards, the song still … how can we put this delicately? It sucks. Any game the rappers could have brought to the table is completely nullified when “JB” tunes in with his falsetto chorus: If I was your boyfriend I’d never let you …More

Award winning singer and unofficial mother of the Yiddish revival Adrienne Cooper died on December 25 from adrenal cancer. She was 65. “She was a valued performer, not only for her impressive vocal qualities, but her masterful interpretive style and tremendous stage presence,” the Jewish Women’s Archive said in a statement. “She presented Yiddish song in such an expressive way that any audience could understand and appreciate it.” Indeed, Cooper was primarily famous for her ability …More

On the 501st Day of Summer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel sang the cutest little duet ever and our faces melted from how adorable they are. They can sing, they can act, they can strum stringed instruments, and they’re pretty. It’s just not fair. Deschanel posted the duo’s duet of “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” to her blog, Hello Giggles, with a gushy little note about her friendship with JoGo. “I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We …More

Be nostalgic no more for that one episode of “Scrubs” where Donald Faison was the front man of that lip synching group, or that other episode where the whole thing was a musical. In the spirit of the holiday season, Faison and Zach Braff have teamed up on the heart-warming duet “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” Ignore the sloppy editing, and the slightly sinister tone (what is in that drink, hmm?), and just enjoy a classy afternoon singing in front of a pool overlooking the Hollywood …More

You know that dream, where you’re singing karaoke in a swank bar in Hollywood, and you pick a song with a rap verse, and nobody will sing it with you, and you almost die of embarrassment, and then Drake jumps on stage for the duet? Not just a dream for Dee, who got up to sing Rihanna’s “What’s My Name?” at Saddle Ranch in El Lay. Drake followed her on stage and rapped out the verse, then sat down on stage for the rest of the song. Maybe he was tired, maybe he wanted a better angle, …More

It’s a Chrismukah miracle! Michael Buble and an anonymous TMZ cameraman have bridged the frosty gap between Christmas and Hanukkah with a simple sing along. So that you, too, can feel the cross-cultural love, we’ve faithfully transcribed the lyrics below. Jingle bells, jingle bells Dreidel all the way Oh what fun It is to ride In an eight-day long holiday, Hey! Jingle, dreidel, jingle, dreidel Jingle-dreidel all the way Oh what fun It is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Dreidel, …More

It can be lonely out there for the Jews when Christmas sinks its pine-scented boughs into December. We at Jspace are here for you, if the lights of the menorah aren’t enough to keep you warm at night. We’ve updated Adam Sandler’s “The Chanukah Song;” so here’s a new list of people who are Jewish, featuring the talented lyricism of Jspace’s own Matt Popkin and AJ Sherman. Put on your yarmulke, here comes Hanukkah Can't date girls who are blonde-a-kah, time for …More

Love is a many-splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. Love don’t cost a thing. Love inspires incredible acts of devotion between friends during the second annual Variety Power of Comedy event honoring Amy Poehler. Maya Rudolph took the stage to speak wise words on the subject of love. “When you love someone as much as I love Amy,” explained Rudolph, “words can’t express how you truly feel. But if a song could, I’m pretty sure it would be this …More

What does one do when one has done everything (and by everything, we mean played a lawyer, captain and Priceline negotiator)? Cover Black Sabbath, of course. Actor, singer, novelist and all around lady’s man William Shatner recently recorded a cover of “Iron Man” for his new concept album. Though it’s a far cry from seducing aliens in “Star Trek,” Shatner’s third musical release does cover a variety of space-themed songs. Zakk Wylde, Ozzy Osbourne's former guitarist, is …More

Israeli singer-songwriter Yedida Freilich wrote a song last year with her father and brother, titled “Only Israel.” The music video, uploaded to YouTube on on July 1, 2010, now has over one million hits. Its content has suddenly become more poignant as the United Nations General Assembly considers Palestine’s application for statehood. Singing in English and Hebrew with subtitles in Arabic, the 22-year-old singer emphasizes the double standards applied to Israel by the international community. …More

We tend to look the other way when a Jew plays for another team during the holiday season. The Chanukah Bear couldn’t ever really compete with the promise of Santa Claus, even if we get seven more nights of celebration than the average holly bell reveler. Scarlett Johansson recently found some Christmas spirit as she leant her voice to a new Dean Martin holiday compilation. No matter that the crooner is dead, if Celine Dion can sing with a hologram of Elvis Presley on live national television, Johansson …More
