Month: July 2004

In traditional stars out of 5.   Darren Hayes – Popular As you might just have noticed I am incredibly excited about Darren’s return due to being a fan of the supersized nature, but even I, having never disliked a single Darren/Savage Garden track, could never have imagined that the song and video would be this good.… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star

Jamie Scott – Just MTV Hits are playing the exclusive of the video by this new young male singer. He is a pretty boy, probably about 19 or 20, with a voice very much like that of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai. The single, Just, is sadly not up to much but he could be good… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star

Today’s midweeks bring us another chart disaster as Rachel Stevens fails to join the highly exclusive club for singers of worthy no.1s in 2004. So far it only has 2 members, Britney and McFly – and even McFly are feeling pretty lucky to be there. I am not terribly suprised at the predicted no.1, Lola’s… Continue reading This Is Insania

It’s a pretty good week for singles this week, with Rachel Stevens and Jamelia both deserving of the top spot, but here are two more songs that deserve some success. Click the titles to buy or the covers to listen. Snow Patrol – Spitting Games It’s impossible to choose a favourite from the 3 SP… Continue reading Singles Of The Week

1. Darren Hayes – Popular Darren takes the top spot for unveiling his fabulous new single and proper buffness to the general public and doing another excellent rendition of this and his other tracks. It’s just a shame Popular wasn’t shown on TV, I only heard it on the radio. 2. Will Young – Your… Continue reading Top 10 Party In The Park Performances

Today was just as good as I expected and I’m very glad I went. It was really exciting to hear the first ever performance of Popular by Darren and to see acts like V, The Calling, Nelly Furtado and Lemar who I love but have never seen live before. Some acts, like Nelly and Gabrielle,… Continue reading Dirrrty Pop Review: BRMB Party In The Park

In Wills out of 5, cos he has a new single out now! The Rasmus – Guilty This is a different single to the 2nd and 3rd releases from Dead Letters in Europe so I hadn’t heard it before today. It’s not as fun or catchy as In The Shadows but I still rather like… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star

And why am I lucky, I hear you ask? Well I am going to see this man in just 3 days. That’s right, it’s Darren Hayes! I am going to the Birmingham PITP to see him as well as all kinds of other aceness including GA, Rachel S, V, Mania, Shaznay, the Calling, McFly, Nelly… Continue reading I Should Be So Lucky, Lucky Lucky Lucky!

You will never in a million years guess what I am sitting next to right now. It’s disturbing and frankly disgusting to be so close to something so horrifying. Yes, your worst fears are confirmed, looking up at me is the new Usher CD! But before you leave the site in horror, never to return,… Continue reading Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

In Marks out of V (get it?) V – Hip To Hip I was very excited to hear this and I really like the song and think it will grow on me lots but it isn’t quite the certain hit that V need. I hope it will do the job but I’m seeing lower ened… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star
