Sometimes I wonder if it is something I dreamed up, because things happen there that are just too amazing to be believed. On their Idol programme they’re at the same point as X Factor, and last night was the first of the live finals. Last year was the first series I watched, and I remember… Continue reading Is Sweden even real?

Austin Drag, more like!
I’d be surprised if no-one else has picked up on this already, but I hadn’t heard about it and it is quite hilarious. For some reason I just remembered the TV show Boys Will Be Girls, where boyband members were turned into a girlband. I Googled it to remember who’d been in it (I didn’t… Continue reading Austin Drag, more like!
A treat from Marit
Marit Larsen (who is NOT the same person as Marit Bergman, for the record) is soon to release a new album, and she’s just started previewing it on her MySpace. A new song will be uploaded each day, and I’m afraid we’ve already missed one called The Chase (a shame since it is apparently ABBA-esque!)… Continue reading A treat from Marit

Those Dancing Days – Home Sweet Home (Watch)Here’s the next UK single from the world’s coolest girlband. I don’t know if they’ll ever make anything quite as amazing as Hitten again, but this is really cute and jolly song which improves as it goes along. The video is my favourite of theirs so far, and… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
This is weirder than Sarah Whatmore’s comeback!
If you’d asked me to name the artist least likely to sample Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, I may well have said Rihanna… but I would have been highly mistaken! The rapper T.I. has a new single out, which features Rihanna, and you can imagine my confusion when the YouTube video of it I clicked… Continue reading This is weirder than Sarah Whatmore’s comeback!
Before the cool done run out they’ll be giving it their bestest
As promised, here are my favourite Idol contestants of 2008! They’ve only got through the first round so far, so expect plenty of these to make it no further than boot camp. However, I’d put a bet on the future Idol-vinnare being in this playlist… http://www.youtube.com/p/C2DCCC9F06C8E188 Alice Svensson – once sang a Greek Eurovision song… Continue reading Before the cool done run out they’ll be giving it their bestest
10 Things I Love About Idol
The Swedish one, that is. 1. When someone gets through, it means they’re good, and not just that there is a slightly higher chance of them being good than with the ones who didn’t get through. 2. The judges are the writers of some of the world’s most brilliant pop songs, with artists ranging from… Continue reading 10 Things I Love About Idol
Excellent News!
David Archuleta is not going to be the new Leona. He already has 3 good songs to his name, 1 more than Leona has so far accumulated. You may wonder how I can be so sure of this. Well, a little investigation on the ever-useful ASCAP website shows that 2 new songs have been registered… Continue reading Excellent News!
