Girl singer in Club Can't handle me right now
Who is the girl singing in Club Can't Handle Me by David Guetta, sounds like Katie Parry, then again, it sounds like the girl who voiced Dora on Danny Phantom, Nicole Scherzinger. Is it Katie or Nicky, or someone else? N.I.M. (talk) 05:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Billboard thinks it might be Ke$ha as she's previously been an uncredited featured artist on Flo Rida's work. See http://www.billboard.com/new-releases/flo-rida-feat-david-guetta-club-can-t-handle-1004108091.story#/new-releases/flo-rida-feat-david-guetta-club-can-t-handle-1004108091.story.

 * It is Nicole Scherzinger. Adam Bishop (talk) 15:37, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Source? Exxolon (talk) 15:54, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Google, and my ears :) I could be wrong, but it is not Katy Perry, at least. I'm not sure why this info is not all over the Internet, actually. Adam Bishop (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, and it couldn't be Kesha, because whoever this is can carry a melody. Kesha can't do that, even with Autotune. Adam Bishop (talk) 16:09, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You might want to redact that statement about her singing or at least make clear it's a personal opinion - WP:BLP applies across the entire site. Google is coming up with results but no reliable sources supporting the Nicole theory. Exxolon (talk) 16:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Nicole Scherzinger's on Twitter, if anyone's got an account then they could ask her to confirm.--TammyMoet (talk) 17:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

No way it kould be Ke$ha, the voice sounds different. The singer has a nicole scherzinger or Katy Perry-like voice, but it's not Katy Perry. Is it Nicole Scherzinger, or is there another singer with a voice just like Nicky's? N.I.M. (talk) 22:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Is this a different version of this song than Club Can't Handle Me? -- k a i n a w &trade; 18:42, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

No, it's the david guetta song with Flo Rida. I'm wondering who the girl singing is. N.I.M. (talk) 03:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The song, "Club Can't Handle Me" is Flo Rida's song. It features David Guetta.  Flo Rida's backup female singer is Kesha with Auto-Tune.  If you really want to know who was physically in the studio, ask Flo Rida.  Nobody here was present at the recording. --  k a i n a w &trade; 13:25, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, i'm going to do some comparisons with some voice actors and the singers' voices here, you can look it up if you don't know who i am talking about. Kesha has more of a Jennifer Hail voice, when the singer in Club Can't Handle Me has more of a Julie White or Susan Blakeslee type voice, or even a Carrie Kenny silver voice. no way it could be kesha.

The person who sang on that is Carmen Key, she was also a co-writer on the song.

Soviet Union music recording certification - are there any???
Since nobody answer to my question, and if you know the answer, please reply here. I need it for this disco. It would be great if there would be a reliable soviet cert (even if I am skeptical about this). Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 12:08, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * We have Manual of Style (record charts) which is a good resource for charts and certification information. But there isn't anything listed for the Soviet Union. You could try asking on the talk page of the aforementioned link or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Record Charts. - Kollision (talk) 14:23, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I already know all MOSES and this wikiproject. I don't think they will reply my question, but it's worth trying.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 15:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

what music/song is this?

 * I don't recognize the short folksy intro, but the subsequent power guitar tune is a version of "Deck the Halls". ---Sluzzelin talk  16:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Gangsters and Slappers
I recently got invited to a " Gangsters and Slappers" fancy dress party. I was too embarassed to ask " What is a "slapper"? Can someone tell me, and what is the correct form of costume? Thanks.... Confused —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.217.144.132 (talk) 23:29, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * They may have meant flapper instead of slapper, which would make more sense given the gangster connection. 142.179.81.2 (talk) 23:54, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Slapper.The meaning intended is almost certainly a derogatory word used to express the speaker's view that a woman, or set of women, is sexually promicuous and both dresses and behaves in a way they disapprove of. It is part of slut-shaming. 86.163.0.221 (talk) 00:04, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This is more usually called a "Gangster and Moll" party - google that. Exxolon (talk) 02:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * As to the correct costume, as little as possible would be appropriate. DuncanHill (talk) 02:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
