I have a new enemy in the form of Miranda Cosgrove. She’s a singer (although that’s debatable!) and the star of a Disney show called iCarly, obviously hoping to be the next Hannah Montana, and her tactic is a wise one: covering some of the best songs from European pop in 2007. Unfortunately (for her and us), she has made them sound like typical Disney crap-pop, i.e. whiney and tinny and simply terrible in comparison to the original singers, in this case Amy Diamond and the Sugababes. I’m glad that Max Martin and Dr Luke will make money from her, but couldn’t they have just given her some of their better artists’ rubbish cast-offs? Radio Disney fans wouldn’t notice – they like the Jonas Brothers! I’m not going to give her the promotion by linking to her songs, so instead here are Stay My Baby and About You Now in their glorious original forms, although this mix of Amy and Miranda does highlight very clearly the superiority of Swedish to American pop music.
