So, it’s onto the girls… all two of them! First up is Tine, a pretty girl who seems to be going for the rock chick niche. She’s not the most convincing rocker but she seems very likeable, and her performance of the very tricky Earth Song on Michael Jackson week was impressive. It could have… Continue reading Denmark has The X Factor! (part 3)

For Your Entertainment
Here are a few videos which have kept me entertained recently… I’m not entirely sure who Staygold are (Last FM says an electro duo), but their current single is huge in Sweden at the moment, and they seem to move in very cool circles. Backseat features guest vocals from trendy US rapper Spank Rock and… Continue reading For Your Entertainment
New Pop on the Block
Chipmunk ft. Esmée Denters – Until You Were Gone (Listen)It’s a bit of a step down from Justin Timberlake, but working with Chipmunk is a great idea if Esmée wants to properly make her name in the UK. Chipmunk’s songs have gradually got poppier and this is certainly the poppiest thing he’s done so far.… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

RoxThe new… Amy WinehouseI’m still slightly unsure if Rox is a girl or a band, but I’m fairly Rox is the name of the girl who sings My Baby Left Me and other similar but not quite as good songs. That’s no criticism, by the way – My Baby Left Me… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 6
