Where in the World is Colby O?

Remember back in May 2008 when the potential summer anthems were just starting to hit the airwaves, an unknown artist named Lady Gaga came on the scene with her soon-to-be hit single “Just Dance” featuring another relatively unknown artist, Colby O’Donis? Both were unknown artists singed to Akon’s Kon Live label. Jump ahead to the summer of 2010 and Lady Gaga is now ranked as the second most powerful musician in the world. She is on her second world tour after releasing two studio albums and earning two of the six Grammy awards she was up for.

Colby O’Donis has been chillin’ at the house.

Well, ok, maybe not chillin’ but he definitely has not had a portion of the success and world-wide fame that Lady Gaga has. How bitter do you think he is? I mean, for real. Colby actually dropped his first single before Lady Gaga and it only reached as high as #14 on the Billboard charts. Lady Gaga blew up to become a pop cultural icon while Colby only has three music videos out. The last of which was directed by Kel Mitchell, of Nickelodeon’s “All That” fame, looks like it was shot on somebody’s flipcam, cost all of $18 to make and has some of the worst lip-synching ever seen this side of Britney’s “Gimme More” performance at the MTV Music Awards. Look, I get that Lady Gaga’s music did much better so she has more money to shoot her following videos but you could have done much better than the star of “Good Burger”, ok?

Lady Gaga really needs to give this boy a break. He can sing and he’s a great dancer. Give him a cameo in one of your videos, Gaga. If you don’t want him dancing along to your choreography at least have him be one of the faces in the background. Or how about giving the folks at MTV a call and see about getting him on season 3 of Jersey Shore. Lord knows he already looks the part.
