International Video Challenge

Representing Turkey: Mustafa Sandal – All My LifeIf you’re missing Eurovision, you’re in luck cos I’ve found a song that epitomises recent Eastern male entries. It’s got everything – ethnic sounds, very basic lyrics, a semi-handsome singer cavorting with a lady-friend and doing a bit of random dancing in a majestic building. It’s not the… Continue reading International Video Challenge

http://www.youtube.com/p/60E612E7B53C6D13 Trinity Stone – Move A Little CloserIt’s always exciting to have a new pop group coming out, but I have to say I’m a bit disappointed by this new urban girlgroup.

Here’s another of my favourites, a song he released in 2003. Bosson’s real name is Stefan Olsson and you may not think you’ve heard anything by him before but if you’ve… Continue reading DP:UK

New Pop On The Block

Boris – Within My Hands (Video)The Netherlands is a country that keeps its pop music to itself – a great shame since have one of the best pop industries in the world. However, according to Arjan Writes, 2004’s Idols winner Boris Titulaer is set to release his latest hit in America along with an album,… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

Awwww!!!

I love how Darren Hayes decided to approach the whole ‘coming out’ thing, basically saying “Yeah, so… I got married! To a man!” It is all quite lovely, really. Things are going better than ever for him at the moment, what with this and freedom at last from rubbish Sony. Unlike most acts for whom… Continue reading Awwww!!!
