Blair Waldorf may be just a fictional character on Gossip Girl, but the Upper East Side Queen B has such a wide influence on our fashions (Hello, headbands), values (aristocracy is in again!), and arsenals of insults (A personal fave: "She is the loosest girl in class, don't you know Chuck doesn't like his fruit pre-picked?") that she might as well be a real person by now.

Which might be why MTV News asked actress turned songstress Leighton Meester (who plays Ms. Waldorf on Gossip Girl) whether Blair would approve of her newest single, "Somebody to Love," the video for which she was in the middle of filming.

Is Blair in Leighton's target demo with her dance-y, poppy techno-inspired tune?

"I think it hits that... that audience, for sure," she explained to MTV News.

"I think it's still sophisticated, which is special to me, and it's you know, definitely my style of the lyrics and it definitely has a lot to do with my experiences in life. But it's... you know... I don't think [Blair] would be mad at it," said Meester.

(Listen to "Somebody to Love" and decide for yourself!)

Waldorf-approved, apparently. I guess if anyone would know, it's Leighton!

Not sure she'd be able to say the same about the skintight black leather, shoulder-padded dress and major eyebrows she was sporting for the video shoot, though. Blair's style is much more... traditional, you might say.
