This week's picks from around the Web.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD: ‘ALL-AMERICAN GIRL'
Attractive, talented and seemingly quite nice, Underwood basically is an all-American girl. And yet, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo tossed her aside in favor of a relationship with future has-been/wannabe diva Jessica Simpson.

MARY J. BLIGE: ‘WORK THAT'
Having a bad day? Running low on self-esteem? You might want to turn to the latest single from Mary J., where she encourages listeners to ignore the haters and love the person they are on both the inside and out.

BUCKY COVINGTON: ‘IT'S GOOD TO BE US'
Following the fifth season of “American Idol,” we would have bet our house that fellow aspiring country stars Covington and Kellie Pickler would quickly fall into the bargain bin with other former “Idol” contestants like Justin Guarini and Diana DeGarmo. Now, two years later, we would likely be homeless, thanks in part to hit singles like this.

VELVET REVOLVER: ‘GET OUT THE DOOR'
According to reports, Velvet Revolver let its fans select its latest single, and they chose this. So if you hear “Get Out the Door” on the radio and aren't a fan, give some blame to the band, but save some for its fans.

SHAWTY LO: ‘DEY KNOW’
We thought last year was the year of “Shawty,” but apparently, 2008 won’t be much different, as Shawty Lo has hit the charts with this single, which not only features references to cool whip, but also rhymes “hello” with “Jell-O.”

THE-DREAM: ‘FALSETTO’
The-Dream vows to “put this dog on her kitty kat.” There’s no way we can top that.

INGRID MICHAELSON: ‘THE WAY I AM’
It’s a safe bet you’ve heard this song at some point recently, considering it’s been on the radio and featured in commercials for Old Navy, J.C. Penney and Chevrolet.

THE VAULT

ARTIST: Erykah Badu
ALBUM: Baduizm
RELEASE DATE: Feb. 11, 1997
THE 210 TAKE: Badu hit the mainstream scene hard with this, her 1997 debut, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and eventually sold more than 3 million copies on the strength of hit singles like “On & On,” “Next Lifetime,” “Other Side of the Game” and “Appletree.” Ten years later, thanks to stellar releases such as Mama's Gun and Worldwide Underground, Badu is as relevant ever.
