  on Jul 20, 2010 in hips don't lie shakira waka waka la tortura underneath your clothes world cup theme
  I only publish this now because the lithe Colombian superstar has just nudged a new entry into the list of the Top 5 Shakira songs of all time with the World Cup promoting "Waka Waka". And it's about time I paid tribute to a star who after all:- ha...
• Brandon Flowers Crossfire - great intro, but . . .
  on Jul 15, 2010 in the killers single review brandon flowers crossfire pop music
  "Crossfire" is the new single from The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers. How often does a top band's lead singer pull off a solo project successfully? Often the results are underwhelming and they are soon back in the studio with their band mates.
• MMM, Whatever happened to Hanson?
  on Jul 11, 2010 in hanson pop thinking bout something
  MMM Bop was (rightly) one of the most loved songs of the 90s and the child stars that made the record were briefly bigger than the Beatles, or at least The Bay City Rollers, for a couple of years circa 1997. I just heard their latest single and it's...
• I think I'll like the new Lady Gaga song
  on Jun 30, 2010 in lady gaga new song changing skies
  Regular readers will know that there was a time when I didn't appreciate the phenomenal talent that is Lady Gaga (I think I underestimated Lady Gaga). A lot of people still don't.I think her songs need a couple of listens for one thing. You also ha...
• Has Selena Gomez scored again with Round and Round?
  on Jun 23, 2010 in round and round selena gomez
  I was a big fan of her last hit "Naturally" (see post Selena Gomez Naturally) which is still knocking around the Billboard charts and became a decent-sized hit in other places including Britain and Australia. So I was quite keen to hear the Disney s...
• World Cup Shock - a decent song!
  on Jun 16, 2010 in k'naan world cup theme wavin flag
  The World Cup may be keenly anticipated for the skill, the stars, the drama and the spectacle but surely not for the music. Rarely does the 4 yearly global football feast yield much even passable musical fare.Last time out, 2006 in Germany, the offic...
• Why is Mike Posner giving away the sound of the Summer?
  on Jun 6, 2010 in pop mike posner cooler than me
  I am not complaining but I was a bit surprised to be able to download Mike Posner's brilliant new single "Cooler than me" right off his website for free. It's a track that's been around for a while but is only now been given the big release complete...
• Elin Lanto - too sexy to convince?
  on Jun 2, 2010 in pop songs pop funeral elin lanto
  They say you can't be too rich or too thin. What about too sexy? No one has ever accused me of being off-puttingly gorgeous and distractingly good-looking but I understand it can be a problem for the women and men who win the genetic lottery. The...
• Roll Deep's Good Times and other daft lyrics
  on May 26, 2010 in pop lyrics roll deep good times elin lanto
  Four weeks as the UK number 1 for the entertaining and catchy "Good Times" by Roll Deep. I didn't make it Best Pop Song of the Week (that honour went to Elin Lanto's "Funeral" this week - more of that later) but that was only because I didn't realis...
• Act your age Miley!
  on May 20, 2010 in cant be tamed miley miley cyrus eliza doolittle
  How do you like your 17 year old girls? Boasting about how many guys they go through, how hot they are and how good they are with a pole (the thin silvery kind you get tips for working not an Eastern European)? Probably not, unless you're a 17 year...
