Pop Music, Post Human, or How It's all Po-Mo Ho-Mo to me!

I know I joked about how Rihanna is the Post-Human version of Beyonce in an earlier post... but as some commentators mentioned, she's just the result of Pop Music. Which led me to ask:

Is Pop Music inherently Post-Human?

Janet needs feedback and goes all Haraway on us:


Britney breaks the ice invoking animation (my favourite brand of trans/post-humanism):

Madonna saves the world (because yes, Ecological and Environmental issues are post-human!):

And we could go back to the early '00s:

Vintage Pop Diva Po-Hu moment - Kylie comes (and clones) into your world (Gondry-style!):


Vintage Boy Band Po-Hu moment - BSB are larger than life (cyborgs anyone?):

Discuss.

Wow Janet, give Kylie some Feedback, or How I'm Seeing Double

Established and beloved pop starts returns with a great song that's sure to hit the waves and the dance floors. The video features space suits, crazy hair and choreographies that millions of teenagers (read: me) are bound to rehearse in front of their mirrors.

Now, am I talking about Janet's Feedback or about Kylie's (sadly UK/Australia only release) Wow?
