International Video Challenge
Representing Germany: Queensberry – I Can’t Stop FeelingAs winners of the latest German version of Popstars, this time creating a girl group, there is plenty of buzz around them at the moment, but they’re naturally going to need to release some great singles to make sure that their success continues. The most successful acts from… Continue reading International Video Challenge
Got a question for Dr Pop?
I am currently putting together a special new project… well, I say new, but actually it’s a revival of an old one. My long-term readers will remember that I have previously put together 2 pop zines, called Poptastisk (Swedish for poptastic). Since it is one of my life aims (along with being head of Eurovision… Continue reading Got a question for Dr Pop?
Now I definitely need a new name for this blog
A crappy new girlgroup have announced that they have created a new genre called Dirty Pop. Erm, excuse me, but you are forgetting that the almighty *N Sync invented that genre 8 YEARS AGO! Very new indeed.
I love Ola, but…
his performance (click fler klipp on the left to see it) at Swedish award show Rockbjörnen (“the rock bear” – no, I don’t know why it’s called that!) the other day was terrible. He looks awful with that hairstyle, and his vocals were pitiful. If he didn’t have one of Sweden’s best production teams on… Continue reading I love Ola, but…
New Pop on the Block
Melody Club – Girls Don’t Always Wanna Have Fun (Listen)I started off quite underwhelmed by the new Melody Club single, but it has grown on me with more listens, as I hoped it would. It’s still nowhere near their best material, but considering how brilliant Melody Club have been in the past, that’s not a… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
Amazing Pop Discovery #478723
I was thinking today about the early 00s pop group, VS. They annoyed me at first, because V were around at the same time and I adored V, so I didn’t want people to get them confused. However, I really liked their second single, Call U Sexy, and still listen to it today. I also… Continue reading Amazing Pop Discovery #478723
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it!
I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago lamenting the rubbishness of pop in 2008, but having thought about it more, I have decided that there are both positive and negative sides to the current situation. While I feel that there were not as many songs which we will consider classics in years to… Continue reading I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it!
Brighton’s Got Talent
I’ve discovered the new Amy Diamond! I just didn’t expect it to be a 13 year old boy from Brighton. Today I was in town and there was a boy singing by the shopping centre. I thought he was really good, so I went to his MySpace when I got home. The first song, Great… Continue reading Brighton’s Got Talent
Hilarious news about The Script
Two of the members used to be in MyTown! I wonder if anyone remembers MyTown except for me? These days it sounds more like a social network than a boyband. This is what they used to look like: This was one of their videos: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG3SUHO2_Tc&hl=en&fs=1] I’m sure they’d disagree, but I think it’s miles better… Continue reading Hilarious news about The Script
