Feel a bit of glitter floating through the air? You know what that means... it's Miss Kylie Minogue! Earlier this year, the disco diva embarked on the unbelievably mayjah, utterly extravagant "Aphrodite Les Folies" tour across dozens of countries worldwide in support of her 11th studio album, Aphrodite. Now, the "All The Lovers" chanteuse is about to release Aphrodite Les Folies: Live In London on Nov. 28 -- a full concert shot in 3-D at the O2 in London back in April.

To celebrate the upcoming DVD, Team Minogue has been slowly unleashing some of the glorious performances from the show. The most recent of the bunch? "Get Outta My Way," Mizz Minogue's hands-aloft, kiss-off pop anthem that rampaged straight to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Charts back in 2010.

Dressed to impress in a dainty top hat and a big ol' poofy feather skirt that would have Lady Gaga ga-gagging, Queen Kylie works through the song like a pro, making sure to spend plenty of time striking poses, getting friendly with her muscly backup dancers (seriously, no one's complaining) and putting on a show like the true showgirl she so effortlessly is. Glam overload!

Oh, and don't forget the ample hand choreography -- point, point, wave, wave, indeed.

Have you ever become addicted to someone, "Intervention"-style?

Like a minute couldn't go by where you didn't think about them or what they were doing or who they were doing it with? Like you Googled their name a million times to see if you could piece together a virtual scrapbook of their entire life? Like you had to hunt down all of their past loves so you could see if they were prettier/smarter/thinner/funnier than you and then, in turn, compare yourself to them endlessly? Like, your obsession to know anything and everything about them became so out of control that you were a couple camera crews away from Jeff VanVonderen standing on the other side of a hotel conference room door, telling you your loved ones felt like they were losing you and they wanted to get you back?

Yeah, me neither. I can imagine it's a really intense feeling, though. One that definitely needs its own musical score. When stalking, er, researching the object of your affection, might I suggest the following tunes from Blondie, Kylie Minogue, No Doubt and Hall & Oates.

Feel free to lurk me and all my musings by visiting my website and following me on Twitter (@redpatterndress).

1.) Blondie's "One Way Or Another": Is it just me or does Debbie Harry make stalking sexy? I'm sorry but her unwavering confidence and brazen attitude makes me truly believe that whoever it is that she's set her sights on, they will be hers. No doubt about it. Then again, what man wouldn't want to be with Debbie Effing Harry? Now, if only I could listen to this without automatically picturing Piper Perabo lip-synching on the bar in Coyote Ugly. (Facepalm.)

Listen to "One Way Or Another"

2.) Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head": I don't know what's more intoxicating: Falling for a hot, new dude or listening to this song about falling for a hot, new dude. If I tallied up all the hours I've spent thinking about my crushes, I'm pretty sure I'd be shocked -- and humiliated -- by the results. The worst is when you've spent SO much time thinking about them, you can't remember which situations actually happened and which ones you played out in the movie theater of your mind. Please tell me I'm not the only one whose had that problem. Anyone? Show of hands?

Listen to "Can't Get You Out Of My Head"

3.) No Doubt's "Spiderwebs": Gwen Stefani turns the tables on the typical infatuation song by obsessing over the guy who's obsessing over her in "Spiderwebs." Homeboy won't leave her alone so she has to "screen her phone calls." Did you hear that? It was the sound of the tiniest violin in the world playing. Seriously, though, I think this song kicks butt -- especially when you're looking for a killer karaoke tune -- but don't expect me to cry a river for Gwen and all the men falling at her feet. Stop bogarting the boys, lady!

Listen to "Spiderwebs"

4.) Hall & Oates' "Private Eyes": I'm not the biggest Hall & Oates fan on the planet, but I can't help but love this fantastic stalker song. In fact, I would go as far as to say this might be one of the best infatuation anthems ever written. It's got all the necessary elements: Lurker lyrics? Check. Toe-tapping melody? Check. Hand claps? Check. (On an unrelated note, I always thought this was the bookend to Rockwell's spooky synth track "Somebody's Watching Me." Play both back-to-back and hear what I mean.)

Listen to "Private Eyes"

A gilded Kylie Minogue performed on stage during the first leg of her Aphrodite Les Folies Tour at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia, looking like a gorgeous golden GODDESS. All she needs are 30 synchronized ladies who look like facsimiles of herself dancing en masse, and suddenly we're plum in the middle of a kaleidoscopic Busby Berkeley movie!

We're into Kylie's Greek mythology-inspired Hermes style (that's the messenger of the gods, not the fancy French designer, Buzzworthy readers) wings. Add that to the knee-high Roman gladiator sandals and you've got a sartorial shout-out to the classics our Latin teacher (salve, Magistra Allen!) would very much appreciate. The party in the front, business in the back skirt is pretty fly. And WTH? Seriously? Kylie looks as flawless as she did during the "Locomotion" years. Suddenly we're all over the drugstore buying a good antiaging mask and some forever-young elixir.

Earlier this year, Vampire Weekend tried their hand at a cover of Rancid's ska-punk classic, "Ruby Soho." Now, we find the New York indie-pop band ending the year with a cover of a U.K. pop smash, with their take on Cheryl Cole's "Fight For This Love."

The original version, by the "X-Factor" judge, singer and British tabloid fixture, is a surging and uplifting dance-pop anthem that wouldn't sound out of place next to any of the singles from the last Kylie Minogue album.

Vampire Weekend's cover, recorded at BBC Radio 1, features a full horn section and a guitar line that sounds like it was lifted from The Strokes' "What Ever Happened." Singer/guitarist Ezra Koenig doesn't sound as convinced as Cole that this is a love affair worth fighting for, adding some ambiguity to the original's statement of intent.

Kylie Minogue
's Aphrodite has already given us the fabulous "All The Lovers" single and video, and now we get another treat from the Australian pop queen--"Get Outta My Way." Nobody else makes robotic, lush dance-pop like Kylie, so full of melody and hooks, so rich with production flourishes and pristine singing.

As a video, "Get Outta My Way," directed by AlexandLiane, has one distinct similarity with its predecessor, "All The Lovers," in that it features Kylie Minogue in the company of a bunch of barely clad men. In her "Get Outta My Way" video, Minogue sports some ferocious claw rings and various fabulous outfits--especially the leopard-print number. Plus, she does some chair dancing with her backup dancers.

Watch "Get Outta My Way" below. Aphrodite is out now.

When Sky Ferreira first came across our radars, she was being put on blast by Katy Perry and making punky, spunk electro-pop. As a teenager, she came across, well, like a teenager, dealing with drama and making snotty music to go along with it.

Ferreira is growing up fast. Yeah, she's still only 18 years old, but with her video for "One," you get a peek at a scarily talented young singer.

Fresh off the back of the haunting death disco of "17," Ferreira's new single is another leap forward. Produced by Bloodshy & Avant (aka two-thirds of Miike Snow), it's airy, ethereal and robotic electro that will appeal to fans of Robyn, Kate Bush and Kylie Minogue.

The video was directed by the well-respected photographer Ranking, marking the second time Ferreira has collaborated with a fashion photographer on a music video (Cass Bird directed "17"). It's a clip that beautifully captures the unique crossroads at which Ferreira finds herself: capable of making mature, gorgeous art, but still a girl at heart.

Check out the video. Sky Ferreira's debut album is due out in January 2011.

A couple of weeks back we introduced you to the incredibly talented singer, Alexis Jordan. The "America's Got Talent" contestant and YouTube sensation has been blowing people away with her pipes since she was 14 years old, but now, with her video for "Happiness," you can see she's an honest-to-goodness, burgeoning pop star.

"Happiness," which was directed by Aggressive and produced by the hitmakers Stargate (who have worked on almost all of Ne-Yo's best material, among other projects), is a sultry, bubbling dance track that reminds me of both Kylie Minogue and Ne-Yo's more dance-friendly stuff.

Speaking of Kylie, the video has a real "Can't Get You Out Of My Head"/altered reality vibe to it, with everyday scenes played out with a dreamlike quality.

Check out the video below (along with Kylie's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head"). Alexis' debut album is due out this year.
