Jedward: Lipstick – Ireland’s Eurovision Entry 2011
Who? John and Edward Grimes, better know as Jedward. Country? Ireland Our Thoughts? Well you can’t help but love the guys. They’ve proved themeselves to be the most successful act from their year in the X Factor (spare a thought for Joe watching Eurovision tonight with a tear in his eye) and with Lipstick they...
Ell & Nikki – Running Scared (Azerbaijan Eurovision 2011)
Who? Ell & Nikki Country? Azerbaijan Our Thoughts? Running Scared is classic Eurovision fodder. One boy, one girl, brilliant white clothes and wistful glances. The song ain’t half bad either. It’s well put together with a nice cascading hook of a chorus to hold up the verses. The only problem is that it’s a bit...
Blue: I Can – England’s Eurovision Entry 2011
Who? Blue. The best boyband of the early 2000s are back. Country? UK Our Thoughts? We’re trying not to be biased here, but I Can is a really well put together pop song and the boys know exactly what they’re doing. Unlike many bands of their ilk too the boys are brilliant live and have...
Dino Merlin: Love in Rewind – Bosnia & Herzegovina’s Eurovision Entry 2011
Who? Dino Merlin Country? Bosnia & Herzegovina Our Thoughts? Dino reminds us of the sort of chap who would interrupt a romantic meal of holidaymakers in Spain to sing them a song. They would smile nervously, but he’d just keep singing Love in Rewind, probably with some unsavoury looks at the girl. Despite this though we...
Nadine Beiler: The Secret Is Love – Austria’s Eurovision Entry 2011
Who? Nadine Beiler Entry for which Country? Austria Our Thoughts? Nadine starts off like Whitney Houston -(and we’re sure Whitney had that hair at one point). As the song goes on though she sounds a bit more like Christina Aguilera, complete with lots of vocal runs and warbling. Yes, this girl has a pair of...
Top 20 Children’s TV Theme Tunes
OK…so we’ve had a nostalgia festival this afternoon here at TMM, and have been throwing out ideas as to what should be the best TV from our childhoods. It’s been a bit of a brain dump, so we’ve arranged them in no particular order and would like to know what you think is the best....
Carl Barat Announces The Libertines Have Broken Up For Good
This time last year fans of The Libertines were rejoicing at their reunion for Reading and Leeds. A year later though and it looks like Carl Barat is once again putting the nail in the coffin (a coffin which is now more nail than wood). NME are running an interview with the frontmen (you have...
Morrissey Simply Must Return To Music
While I never want to bow to the “things were better in our day” brigade, I do have to admit there was a time when you couldn’t get away from rebellion in music. “God Save The Queen” by the Sex Pistols couldn’t have seemed further away though during the recent national out pouring of...
Nicola Roberts’ Solo Career Gets A Boost
We all know Cheryl Cole has friends in high places, namely Will.i.am and Simon Cowell. However, Nicola Roberts must have somebody looking out for her too. Just a few days after officially revealing she will be releasing her first solo single, Beat Of My Drum on June 5th, she has landed a bit score in...
Simon Cowell’s Shocking TV Debut on Sale Of The Century
Simon Cowell likes to thing of himself as Jesus – but they do have one similarity, namely that little about their life is documented before they turned 30. However, we recently came across this old clip that shows his TV Debut on the old British gameshow “Sale of the Century”. Wow! Even back then he...
Katy Perry Proves She’s Funny Once Again
Now we all know Katy Perry is married to famous funny man Russell Brand, but she’s been proving to us recently that she’s more than able to keep up with her husband in this department – no least with her new artwork for her single “Last Friday Night (TGIF)”. This of course harks back...
Hottest Women in Pop Music: Our Roundup
We’ve been having a debate in the TMM office – who is the hottest female popstar. Well, in the end, we couldn’t decide so we put together an album of who we think could be in contention. You’ll notice there’s not a Lady Gaga in site. One thing we all agreed on was that, for...
