The past seven days brought a blizzard of activity on the music landscape, from Kanye West’s short film Runaway and Katy Perry’s “Firework” video premiere to Greyson Chance’s debut single “Waiting Outside The Lines” and the announcement of Adam Lambert’s acoustic album. And just how did our readers react to all these pop happenings? Read on below!

:: ZMH got something off his chest on Katy Perry Has A Real Blast In Her “Firework” Video: “The most fascinating thing about ms perry is that she always has perfect uses for her boobs. having that said it’s a nice video for a nice song.”

:: Brandon Hall learned something he never knew before on The Ting Tings Go Unplugged With “Hands” For BBC Switch: “I never noticed how lovely Katie’s voice was. This was a great performance.”

:: IdolBehavior voiced up on Greyson Chance Performs His New Single “Waiting Outside The Lines” On Ellen: “For a very first live performance of a song no one but his team knew anything about until today — how can you say you know how it is supposed to be sung? Seriously, I think you want that syrupy auto-tuned sound.”

:: Trey was on the other side of the lines, however: “Ehh you people are taking it way too far. Its good to have both the bubblegum-pop and stylish pieces. But I really think that the people behind this kid are trying to bite off Bieber.”

:: Carol hit the whammy bar on Adam Lambert Announces Acoustic Album During Australian Interview: “I would LOVE anything acoustic by Adam! His gorgeous voice would be on certain display for me to drool over! Love it and cannot wait!”

:: Celebrity#1GirlFan detailed her addiction on Ke$ha Returns Feeling “Sleazy”: “I have to say I like all of Keisha’s songs, but this is by far my favorite one… I love this song. This is the 11th time I have listened to it today… Can’t get tired of it.” [Yes, dear—but this is Ke$ha we’re talking about.]

:: Jacqui thought the First Lady Of American Idol hit all the right notes on Kelly Clarkson Goes Country On Jason Aldean’s “Don’t You Wanna Stay”: “aweome. incredible. amazong!!! 2 of my favorite artists doing a duet??!! and it sounds ridiculous, in a great way!!! stoked for jason and kellys albums….YESSS she can sing anythingg without a doubt..her voice is one of the best in the music industry.”

:: Bethp88 raved on Critics React To Kanye West’s Runaway: “Theres only one word that I can use to describe Runaway – Enchanting.”

:: Michelle wasn’t as impressed: “Is everyone going to ignore the obvious racial views Kanye has expressed in this film? We have a dinner table full of successful people, all of the same race, while other races (primarily Caucasian) serve and entertain them while Kanye takes credit for their brilliant performance. I think that most of us would agree today that this wasn’t acceptable when the roles were reversed. So why is it now?”

:: Even John Doe weighed in: “Personally, I have to say that I expected something that bared more substance with all the hype. I think that Kanye west should have taken more time to put everything all together; From the dialogue, to the directing and editing. I don’t see the ‘Genius’ factor that so many are talking about.”
