This episode kind of came as a surprise, as I watched it only because there was nothing else on TV today, and actually found it to be decent. For the record, the music in iCarly on the whole is atrocious, but the pop singer featured in the episode looked a lot like a lampoon of Britney Spears; a slutty, unbelievably stupid blond chick with a baby that became a streetwise trash wad. I expected this episode to place these mainstream pop stars on a pedestal, but it brought them down instead; it seemed to put forth the idea that pop singers are talentless individuals with mindless audiences that enjoy their "music." The mainstream music industry has a lot of garbage that everybody just loves for the sake of visual appeal and popularity, including the stuff in iCarly, so this episode could be considered hypocritical. And I did genuinely laugh a couple of times at Spencer's reaction to finding out that he had a date with Gibby's mom. Overall, it was a good recovery from the iSpace Out abomination; not anywhere close to the standards of Drake & Josh, but good enough to enjoy a few times.
