Month: July 2008

Because I’ve just discovered that Thomas Troelsen, apart from being lead singer of incredible Danish pop act Private, is also behind some of my absolute favourite pop songs of all time! These include Baby by Melody Club and Hot Summer by Monrose, both completely amazing songs. His latest work is the new single for Sarah… Continue reading Max Martin will be quaking in his boots

You may have noticed that I didn’t post DP:UK last Sunday, but don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten you! I was visiting a friend in Belgium, so I’ll just carry the votes over to this Sunday. I made some interesting discoveries in Belgium, particularly a great Flemish radio station called Q Music, which you can listen… Continue reading Back to life, back to reality

I now find that she has helped to ruin one of the world’s most brilliant and beautiful pop songs! The song in question is Where The Lost Ones Go, a duet between Norwegian pop singer Espen Lind and classical singer Sissel Kyrkjebø. Looking up info about Espen just now, I discovered that Katherine has covered… Continue reading As if Katherine Jenkins wasn’t evil enough already

Representing France: M. Pokora – Catch Me If You CanWhether necessary or not, it seems France now has it’s very own Justin Timberlake. He’s even worked with Timbaland, and this video is suspiciously similar to JT’s for I’m Lovin’ It, right down to the blue checked shirt. Unfortunately for M (or Matthieu, as he’s known… Continue reading International Video Challenge

Both songs, however, are a testament to the grooviness of Tilly & the Wall. If… Continue reading DP: UK – New music special!

Alphabeat have a new video out! It’s for their next UK single, Boyfriend, and I’d say it’s one of their best ever videos, alongside the amazingly jolly one for Fantastic 6. I just can’t believe a) how brilliant this band is and b) that they are actually popular and society allows me to like them!… Continue reading I love them ’til I die

http://www.youtube.com/p/D063F1EA8907EDC3 Anna Speller – WaitingSince my post about K-Otic the other day, I discovered that one of the girls from the band released a solo single last year. She was in a Dutch film called Honeyz, about 2 girls who got trapped in a department store and had a night of hilarious teenage hi-jinks, and… Continue reading DP:UK

Representing Romania: Andreea Bălan – Baby Get Up and DanceShe began her career as a member of a dance duo called Andre (the other member was named Andreea too), then went solo, but recently became famous in Mexico of all places, as a contestant on a TV dance contest, Primer Campeonato Internacional de Baile. Now… Continue reading International Video Challenge
