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 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!

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

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

Kelly Clarkson – My Life Would Suck Without You (Listen)This single has been greatly anticipated, which is good cos it’s by Dr Luke, but not so good cos he gave it to Kelly Clarkson. After her ungrateful eschewing of all things ace and Swedish on her third album (obviously not realising they were the only… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Finally, we have reached the end of my A-Z! Although actually it’s only an A-Y. Do you feel cheated? The Sound of ArrowsThe new… Le SportI, like many others in the pop blogging community, fell in love with this band just from watching a few seconds of their wonderful new video. The song is lovely… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 8

Rosanna MunterThe new… Linda SundbladRosanna was one of the members of Play, a Swedish girlgroup who always annoyed me because they basically took singles by UK acts (Billie, Atomic Kitten and Liberty X) and released them in America, where the UK acts had not been successful. Thinking about it now, those songs were probably written… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 7

Erin McCarley – Blue Suitcase (Watch)When I read that Erin was a “sultry singer-songwriter”, I wasn’t expecting much, but I keep hearing her name mentioned lately so I decided I must check her out. I’m glad I did, cos Blue Suitcase is really good. If I’d known of her earlier I certainly would have included… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

MixiThe new… Fefe DobsonMixi is an interesting new act, because it’s so hard to place her. Vocally she is similar to Amy Winehouse, but the rockier element to her music separates Mixi from the hoardes of Amy wannabes around at the moment. Her debut single I Miss Those Days (Ghost) is excellent – really catchy… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 6

Love GrenadesThe new… DragonetteI can’t say I’ve discovered anyone yet in my search for the next big thing who made me stop and think “this could be my new favourite band”, but I have found a few acts I’d at least like to hear an album by, and Love Grenades are one of them. They… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 5
