That’s better, Pixie

On Saturday, February 27th, 2010
Good on Pixie Lott for always performing live, but unfortunatley when it came to ‘Cry Me Out’ she never can seem to quiiiiiite nail the chorus. Luckily with new single ‘Gravity’ shes a billion times better, as demonstrated live on the Chris Moyles breakfast show this week. Very lovely. Similar crap:Good luck trying to watch ...

Brit Awards de-brief

On Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
After an opening fifteen minutes in which Mel B and Geri Halliwell popped up either together or separatley every few seconds, this year’s Brits ceremony went ahead, business as usual. Lady Gaga (as expected) won all the awards she was eligible for, and JLS (as expected) won the two awards voted for by the public. You ...

CilmiWatch: 4 weeks to go

On Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Just a month left until the Gabriella Cilmi SUPERTUNE ‘On A Mission’ is released. As yet it is still un-playlisted by Radio 1, Radio 2 or Capital FM, which is a pretty big blow, but she’s plugging it like nobody’s business on various websites and the video is doing the rounds on TV. Sadly though the ...

Is ‘Gravity’ the best Pixie Lott video yet?

On Sunday, February 7th, 2010
In eight-or-so months Pixie Lott has seen her first two singles fire to No1 (each breaking some sort of record in the process), shifted enough copies of her debut album for it to be certified Platinum, and earned herself three Brit nominations. Unfortunatley the vid for most recent single ’Cry Me Out’ was a bit of a balls-up (using slow-mo close-ups and ...

Jedward’s chart battle: It’s not looking good

On Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
Jedward‘s cover of ‘Under Pressure’ is out to download this week. The good news is that they currently sit at No2 in the midweek sales figures. Whilst that is admittedly much higher than the track deserves, it is at least not No1. However… The bad news is that the sales gap between ‘Under Pressure’ and ...

So here’s that all-star Helping Haiti single

On Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

At last! The Diana Vickers single in full

On Sunday, January 31st, 2010
A 30-second clip was released a couple of weeks back, and now – FINALLY – the full cut of the Diana Vickers single, ‘Once’, has had its premiere on Radio 1′s ‘Switch’. Written by Cathy Dennis (‘About You Now’, ’Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’, ‘I Kissed A Girl’, ’Toxic’) and Eg White (‘Leave Right Now’, ...

Cheryl’s ‘Parachute’ video is here

On Sunday, January 31st, 2010
The vid for Cheryl Cole‘s ‘Parachute’ has just premiered on Channel 4. It’s definitley one of the best tracks on the album, and it’s already made a very small dent on the charts following the brilliant performance of it on the questionable ’Cheryl Cole’s Night In’ before Christmas. The video itself is quite dance-heavy, which is ...

Have you heard the new Ke$ha single yet?!

On Sunday, January 31st, 2010
A happy medium between Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, Ke$ha has had a rapid ascension to fame after having broken the US download record twice (once with Flo Rida on ‘Right Round’ and then again on her own), and toppling the unstoppable SuBo from the top of their album charts. As for us in the ...

Avril Lavigne’s back in business

On Saturday, January 30th, 2010
Avril Lavigne FINALLY releases her fourth studio album this year, but before all that she’s recorded the soundtrack tune to the new Tim Burton ‘Alice In Wonderland’ flick. It’s called ‘Alice’ and is definitley not a ‘Sk8er Boi’ or ‘Girlfriend’ sequel. Lavigne is the only songwriter on this, which is perhaps why it sounds a ...
