Olivia SebastianelliThe fact that Olivia lists Siobhan Donaghy as an influence will be enough to interest most of you in her, and if not then her love of Frankmusik and Ladyhawke should win over the rest. She’s a 17 year old London girl who recently signed to RCA and I reckon she could be a… Continue reading The Next Big Thing?

This week’s top 5 most poptastic tweets! 1. Had a break from #Melodifestivalen to watch The Wanted on Let’s Dance. Shame they’re not in MF, they’d blow EMD out the water boyband-wise.2. The new Sky Ferreira song (http://bit.ly/gQxP9N) is so close but so far from this supreme pop masterpiece http://youtu.be/2FrTA8Xi4SY3. What a poptastic lunch –… Continue reading Tweets Of The Week
New Pop on the Block
Gail Scott – Jack N Jill (Listen)Gail, who usually goes by the nickname Scotty, is a new US urban-pop singer, and her debut single Jack N Jill has put her firmly in my ‘ones to watch’ category. Sonically it’s a female version of the amazing Like ‘Em All by Jacob Latimore (and she was even… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
The Next Big Thing?
dotjrDotjr is the pseudonym of James Reeves, who I came across on MySpace about a year ago. I was impressed but forgot about him until I recently read the exciting news that he has been signed up by Polydor. He’s a great songwriter with an interesting voice, and his music is along the lines of… Continue reading The Next Big Thing?

Come on, get me, get me on the floor!
I grew up in the era of Britney and stuck with her unfailingly throughout all her traumas. It was, however, a musical issue which threw me off the Britney train: Blackout. Everyone seems to think it’s her best work, but for me it couldn’t compare in the slightest to any of her previous albums. I… Continue reading Come on, get me, get me on the floor!

Decided to make it a top 10 this week cos I’m an egomaniac and love my own tweets! 1. So Wonderland have suddenly decided to release an EP – chickening out on the Parade vs Wonderland chart battle already! 2. This is supposed to be Tove Styrke’s first UK single – nice song but why… Continue reading Tweets Of The Week
The MF Awards – Part 4
This week we saw the last of the Melodifestivalen semi-finals, and several of my favourite Swedish acts participated. I expected Love Generation and Nicke Borg to be the top 2 (who go straight into the final) but in fact Linda Bengtzing beat both of them, so that means it’s very unlikely that either of them… Continue reading The MF Awards – Part 4
You’ll be my American boy (or girl)
After last year’s dull (talent) and awkward (judges) season, I was concerned about the future of American Idol. Although I’m still unsure whether it’s even possible for the show to reach its 11th season now that X Factor USA is on the horizon, I am enjoying the current series (J.Lo is amazing as a judge)… Continue reading You’ll be my American boy (or girl)
