Wow! Pretty firm reports are coming out that Cheryl Cole has been dropped from the US X Factor to be replaced by Nicole Scherzinger – which must be ushering in a bit of squeeky bum time for Tulia Contostavlos and Kelly Roland as the darling of the X Factor is surely bound to have a...
If you don’t get Jedward then you’re pretty much screwed, especially as they have now chummed up with the leader of the free world, Barack Obama. We can feel your pain as it took us some time to get used to the boys, especially after their bootcamp round on the X Factor which made them...
The Saturdays have just release the video for “Notorious” with some considerable hype. Pretty much every UK music publication has written about it and analysed it on its own merits. This left us scratching our heads though. The Saturdays must be popular right? They’re everywhere, how can they not be huge pop superstars? The...
So Selena Gomez has annoyed Pink with her latest video. And when Pink get’s angry what does she do? Yes that’s right, she vents on Twitter as has now become the default for a celebrity. To be fair though this isn’t just a mild complaint, nor is it a standard “I wore that wig...
So it’s all over bar the shouting. Though this year there seems to be few people surprisingly few people actually shouting about politics, bad taste and general conspiracy surrounding the Eurovision 2011 results. So to recap here’s the top ten. Azerbaijan Italy Sweden Ukraine Denmark Bosnia & Herzegovina Greece Ireland Georgia Germany Blue had been...
Who? Getter Jaani Country? Estonia Our Thoughts? Rockerfeller Street is so upbeat and colourful (and so are the outfits) that you will find yourself liking this song. She also comes across as incredibly happy to be part of the competition, which adds a nice endearing quality to her. The song also has a strong beat...
Who? Eric Saade Entry for which Country? Sweden Our Thoughts? Well, we certainly don’t think this song will be Popular (see what we did?). We really don’t know how this one fell through the cracks. The Swedes has some amazing contenders this year. Their annual competition to pick the right song, Melodifestivalen, is as big...
Who? Amary Vassili Country? France Our Thoughts? We’re really not sure about this one. While Sognu got a ton of critical acclaim across Europe, we’re not quite feeling it in the same way as others and we don’t think the voters will too. The song is supposedly a rousing classical opera type number, but it...
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...
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...
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...
Who? A Friend In London Country? Denmark Our Thoughts? Well if the leadsinger thinks his hair is going to make him stand out, he’s in for a shock when he sees Jedward’s mighty quiffs. Apart from this though New Tomorrow isn’t bad, but at the same time isn’t great and probably shouldn’t have been the...
