Pop Panel 3 - Week 2

Labels:

, , , , ,
    I'm sorry about the lack of posts. The ARIA Awards (and its drunken aftermath) kind of derailed the blog for a couple of days. My brain is finally starting function again, so I thought I should hurry up and post Pop Panel. After last week's less than commercial selection, I tried to throw in a couple of songs that you might know this time around. We have new music from Miley, Robyn and Nelly Furtado - as well as the usual smattering of tasty trash. The winner is a bit predictable but I wholeheartedly approve. It's nice to have a victor that you will actually hear on the radio! This week's Panel consists of:

    D'Luv (US) writer of Chart Rigger and Idolator
    J-Step (AUS) music industry insider
    Mike (Aus) author of this classy blog
    Paul (UK) writer of Fizzy Pop
    Robpop (UK) writer of Don't Stop The Pop
    The Prophet (Aus) writer of The Prophet

    And one amazing special guest!

    Cameron Adams (Aus) - Cameron is well known to Australian pop fans as a card carrying member of Al Kylieda. He also writes the occasional article for the Herald Sun. I've been a fan for years and it's an honour to have him on my humble blog. Check out his best singles of the noughties list. Numbers one and five can not be denied!

    As usual the songs are ranked from lowest to highest:

    Juanjo Martin & Nalaya Brown ft Paris Hilton - SuperMartxé VIP (Video)

    A true pop legend returns. To appear in a Spanish video clip.

    Cameron Adams: Um, is this the worst thing Paris has done since the Good Charlotte bloke? At least she's not pretending to sing anymore. 2/5
    D'Luv: Total scam. Paris doesn't even sing on this, does she? 0/5
    J-Step: This generic track would not have even been looked at twice if a certain goddess was absent from the clip. Paris can do no wrong in my books. Oh, yeah, she can, by making me wait a frikkin eternity for a new album. Fuck this video appearance shit, Hilton, and give us all what we want, and SOON! 4/5
    Mike: I think this is what heaven must be like - being fussed over by super hot servants, while Paris Hilton sprays the patio with Weed Kill. 3/5
    Paul: Monstrosity - God they will love this at Bar Tubos in Gran Canaria. 2/5
    Robpop: There are levels of scum. There are sub-scum levels. Beneath that lies this piece of shit. 0/5
    The Prophet: This would get full marks if Paris' heavenly vocals appeared on the track, but since she's just in the video as window dressing, it gets a zero. I will not be teased and taunted into thinking Heidi Montag's holy predecessor is returning to pop only to be let down. 0/5
    Total: 11/35

    Miss Lady Pinks - Bitches (Video)

    Grace and glamour has a new face.

    Cameron Adams: Is this half of Mahogany? Babies got backs. And fronts. And faces like dropped pie. Poor bitches. Good beats tho'. 2/5
    D'Luv: Heeeeeeeeeell yes. I don't know who these classy goddesses are, but I'm buying the box set. 5/5
    J-Step: Mike, why the fuck did you do that to me? My psyche will never be the same again. This Pop Panel should come with a warning label. Someone alert the media - Shakaya have escaped from pop's Fucked Facility and are on the loose...again! 0/5
    Mike: I'm more torn than Natalie Imbruglia. Miss Lady Pinks is clearly the hottest woman in pop but we're rating the music, not the visuals - so with a heavy heart and hard penis 2.5/5.
    Paul: Christ. It's all reminiscent of something, but I'm not really sure what. It's not a good memory whatever it is. I do quite like the backing track and some of the comments about having a herpes outbreak on the singers face on the youtube video but that was about it. 1/5
    Robpop: In UK, we used to have this show called Smack The Pony and it contained fake pop videos at the end of each episode. This is exactly like that. 0/5
    The Prophet: She's so elegant; her evening dress is to die for. But, as glam as Miss Lady Pinks is, it's the eyebrows that really steal the show. We have those stunning little drawn on lines on Miss Lady Pinks, and then those big fat slugs on the tattooed brunette. MLP is clearly a powerful force in the eyebrow shaping industry. 5/5
    Total: 15.5/35

    Natalia – Liberate (Video)

    Spain's "Britney" is making a comeback.

    Cameron Adams: Spain's Britney or Spain's Amy Pearson? 1/5
    D'Luv: How do you say STD in Spanish? 2/5
    J-Step: Spain's Britney? Mike, you seriously need your head examined. A correlation to Beyonce would have been closer to the truth I think. SHIT, this actually scared me! 1.5/5
    Mike: Absolutely stunning! I love the juxtaposition of a cheesy Euro-pop chorus with (bad) rapping and faux RedOne production. Natalia's comeback anthem is catchy as fuck and she looks like a drag queen's wet dream in that ridiculous bird dress. Bring on the album! 5/5
    Paul: Oh. She's got some bargain basement red one wannabe doing the rap at the beginning. Was rap-goon for hire Pitbull not available?! There is some impressive body popping in the chorus on the video and despite not being able to differentiate the beat from a million other songs, I do quite like it. 3.5/5
    Robpop: I saw this at Pride. The rapper doesn't even get her name right. How the mediocre have fallen into the gutter of total shit. Natalia used to be good. This will flop along with her last album. This is so shit it makes Die Antwood look like Mozart. And, it pains me to say that as I used to be a Natalia fan. She used to have producers like Xenomania on her albums. Utter shit. 0/5
    The Prophet: Her hair is so large and luminous. Me likey. 3.5/5
    Total: 16.5/35

    Miley – Who Owns My Heart (Video)

    Disney ho's latest European single.

    Cameron Adams: Wowsa. The lyrics are so clunky that songwriting for Miley credit she has might actually be legit. "Who owns my heart? Is it love or is it art?" I kind of like American producers belatedly discovering Europop post-Gaga and her country twang sounds ok forcefed through Autotune. The chorus isn't bad. Miley's following a career trajectory a lot of stage-parent-pushed pop stars have when they try and upgrade to a demographic who shave; the songs get better (or less worse) the more no one is buying them. 2.5/5
    D'Luv: Zzzzzzzzz. Wake me when the sex tape leaks, stripper. 2/5
    J-Step: Now I can play Miley when I'm off my cunt! Love it!!! 5/5
    Mike: Is there a dub? 0/5
    Paul: When I see Miley nowadays I'm reminded of that scene in Mean Girls where Katy realises that Halloween for mean girls is dressing like a ho. Miley seems to have taken that to heart and certainly everday is halloween for her! I don't mind this as a song, it's quite decent and catchy. It kind of sounds like an updated club mix of an 80s S/A/W song. I still prefer "Two More Lonely People" though. 3.5/5
    Robpop: Next. 0/5
    The Prophet: Love this song, love the video, love the album, love the girl. I just need "Liberty Walk" to be a single and my life will be complete. 4.5/5
    Total: 17.5/35


    Tina Cousins – Sex On Fire (above)

    The best cover version of all time finally has a video clip!

    Cameron Adams: THINGS to note from the belated video to this so-misguided-it-almost-works cover. Tina now looks a bit like the blonde lady from the Human League. And as she's singing about "head while I'm driving" she's flicking herself off while watching some three-on-one fuckery in a cheap looking office. Forget Kings of Leon's version, this song was always screaming for a cheesy dance mix. 3/5
    D'Luv: Why does Tina looks so pissed off every time the camera focuses on her face? Oh, right—because the camera is focusing on her face. Lighten up, though, Tina—YOU probably didn't have to watch this the whole way through like I just did. 2/5
    J-Step: Tina will forever be the only woman in history to look 45 and rock it. Loved this when I first heard it. Kinda just seems redundant now. It's so time for a "Pray" re-release, though! 3.5/5
    Mike: So Tina slips herself the finger while watching a couple of low rent gays fuck in a toilet? I think I've had this dream before... 5/5
    Paul: Hasn't this been around forever? I saw her sing this two gay prides ago and remember thinking she had brilliant legs. It's definitely the type of song that deserves a pounding remix version of it and Tina does a bonza job of it. I've heard the original too many times and yet this version still gives me tingles. 4.5/5
    Robpop: Awful. 0/5
    The Prophet: This video should've been out like a year ago. Too little, too late. 2/5
    Total: 20/35

    Robyn – Indestructible     (Video)

    Swedish diva's latest flop.

    Cameron Adams: The other electro pop chicks must be spewing everytime Robyn does something. She's fearless, she's got that Gaga streak where she'll do any weird shit in the name of art, without worrying about pesky things like vanity. This isn't her best single, but it's still unreal - love the drama in the chorus. Good to have a pop star who you're still excited about every new thing they release. 3.5/5
    D'Luv: Not nearly as good as "Dancing On My Own" or "Hang With Me." Still better than than Katy Perry. 3/5
    J-Step: Robyn has officially moved on from the cool, edgy bitch that actually sold more than 14 units. All hail, the Queen of Forgettable Trance! 2.5/5
    Mike: This worked so much better as a ballad. The lyrics are lovely but it just doesn't translate into a dance anthem with the same ease as "Hang With Me". Poor Robyn. Remember when she wasn't completely shit? 2/5
    Paul: I've been a bit of an anomaly really because I've been left cold where other bloggers have spaffed up their chuff over everything Robyn has released. I've quite liked her past couple of singles and started to be won over. This isn't as good as "Dancing On My Own" however, and doesn't seem to be much different from what she's done before. Sigh. 2.5/5
    Robpop: This is not about videos. Right? I've never judged this on videos. Its always about the songs. If it was based the video I'd give robyn nowt. Its the worst thing she's ever put to film. Confluently, the song soars in amongst clouds of pop beauty. I like the fact she's returned to big bouncy anthemic choruses. Yum! 3/5
    The Prophet: Incredible. It's a shame that Robyn's pop is too classy for Mike to appreciate :( He's been slumming it with GaGa and Beyonce for so long that he's forgotten what good pop sounds like. Don't worry Mike, I still have faith in you! Come towards Robyn's holy light... 4.5/5
    Total: 21/35

    Nelly Furtado – Night Is Young (Video)

    From Nelly's soon to be released GH compilation.

    Cameron Adams: Hmm. It's OK. Sounds exactly like what it is, stop-gap new song on a singles album. At least there's no Timbaland in earshot. Most interesting thing is working out if she's singing "we wanna baby" or "we want a baby." 2.5/5
    D'Luv: This song is okay. I don't know. It seems like it would have been more exciting maybe, say, three or four years ago. But now everyone and their mother is doing music like this. Needs more Miss Lady Pinks. 3/5
    J-Step: Love this bitch, but just can't come around to liking this. The song's boring, the video's lifeless and together the whole package borders on fucking annoying. 2/5
    Mike: I'm biased. Nelly could sing the Delta Goodrem songbook and I'd still buy it. 4.5/5
    Paul: Whoa Nelly. You need to take tips from P!nk on how to do an entirely exciting greatest hits song. You say you want to be frozen in time in the lyrics and it seems that you are with this tune. So passe and dull. And once again, another song with an indistinguishable beat this week. Hardly as exciting as Maneater. 2/5
    Robpop: This feels slightly disjointed. Some singers just can't really do pop. I can see Cascada do this. Heck, i can hear the old Natalia do this. Nelly just seems 2 be going through the motions. Nice enough though. 3/5
    The Prophet: I started off being underwhelmed by this song, but now I absolutely love it. Nelly can do no wrong. 5/5
    Total: 22/35

    SINGLE OF THE WEEK

    Katy Perry – Firework (below)

    Third single from Katy's album.

    Cameron Adams: KT's oh-so-live attempt at singing this on the UK X Factor (the one people watch) has replaced Stephanie McIntosh on the Footy Show as the clip to watch when in need of a quick laugh. Irony overload on the keep-it-real-cancer-kids-and-tubby-girls-and-gay-boys-have-feelings-too video from a woman who trowls on more make up than any pop star I've ever interviewed. This is actually her second good pop song in a row, a personal best for her. Is `Do you ever feel like a plastic bag' the worst first line of the year? 3.5/5
    D'Luv: I'm so bored with this broad and her Jesus tits. 2/5
    J-Step: I docked half a point for the stupid purple streak at the "boom, boom, boom" moment. You think this is all class until then. I guess the try-hard Perry trash had to manifest itself somewhere. I was just hoping it would've been on the next video, so we could have one untainted by filth commercialism. Hey, a bitch can dream (teenage style)! 4.5/5
    Mike: Fuck off, Katy haters! The fourth lady of American pop (after Bey, Ke$ha and Kaci) is on a tear at the moment. The singles from "American Dream" have been flawless and that streak continues with "Firework". I HATE the video - which offensively equates fat people and homosexuals with cancer patients and victims of domestic violence! - but formulaic American pop doesn't come much better. 5/5
    Paul: Meh. It's ok. I'm still in a mood that she didn't release Peacock. 3/5
    Robpop: I deeply dislike this woman. I have invested money in her albums and she has delivered very little. In the sense, the way she sings grates on me. But the songs are pretty good. Mainly this one. Surprisingly okay. 3.5/5
    The Prophet: So fucking over Katy Perry right now, but hating on her makes me feel like some fickle flip-flopping Queen, so I'm gonna give it a nice score just so I don't feel like a cunt. 4/5
    Total: 25.5/35

Kylie, Nelly & Shakira In A Car Park

Labels:

, ,
    Seriously, I'm away from the computer for 24 hours and all my faves decide to get busy. I don't know how the professional bloggers keep up! First diva off the rank is Kylie. Just when I was starting to feel hopeful for her chart prospects again after hearing "Higher", the cover for the third single from "Aphrodite" appears online (above). It looks like we're stuck with "Better Than Today". Why are they even bothering with this boring flop? I hate the cover. Kylie's face looks so severe and it sounds like a Scissor Sisters B-side from 2003. Jake & Co can't even give their music away these days - I doubt Kylie's going to do much better. The frustrating thing is that she's sitting on two or three big hits. Remix "Put Your Hands Up" to sound a little less cute and you've got a top 10 hit or unleash "Cupid Boy" and reclaim the clubs. Whatever. I'm over it. Someone wake me when the re-release is ready! In the meantime I'm going to watch this glamorous Dancing With The Stars performance on repeat. Kylie's body is rocking and I love that horse hair wig. Dannii must be so jealous that Kylie is now the pretty Minogue!

    I posted Nelly Furtado's new single a couple of days ago and no one seemed to care. Which is pretty reflective of its (non-existent) chart position! Oh well, fuck you all. I still love her! Anyway, the Canadian pop diva's Spanish remix album has just been released - in Europe - and I'm counting down the days until my incredibly overpriced copy arrives in the post. Admittedly, I have most of the remixes already but the cover is pretty (below) and I'd pay 16 Euros for the Robbie Rivera mix of "Maons Al Aire" alone. Here's the tracklist:

    1. Fuerte (Original English Version)
    2. Manos Al Aire (Robbie Rivera Radio Mix)
    3. Mas (Feat. Tony Dize) (Urban Remix)
    4. Bajo Otra Luz (Humby Remix)
    5. Fuerte (Twisted Dee Club Remix)
    6. Manos Al Aire (Juan Magan Remix)
    7. Mas (Rebirth Demolition Crew Mix)
    8. Bajo Otra Luz (Dancehall Yogi Remix)
    9. Fuerte (Humby Urban Club Mix)
    10. Manos Al Aire (Tiesto Remix)
    11. Bajo Otra Luz (Rebirth Demolition Mix)
    12. Fuerte (Cajjmere Wray Hot Sweat Mix)

    Last but most definitely not least is Shakira. I'm seriously obsessed with this woman. "Sale El Sol" is already one of my favourite albums of 2010 and I'm contemplating flying to the other side of the world to catch her in concert. If I totally lose my mind and decide to go, the bitch had better pull this stunt again. After a concert in America, she decided to take the party to the carpark and sing "Loca" on top of a car - Avril Lavigne "Sk8r Boi" style. I'm sure it was a well rehearsed grab for publicity but I couldn't give a shit. This performance (below) basically sums up everything I love about Shakira. She's wild, raw and more than a little bit nuts. Stay tuned for my "Sale El Sol" review in the near future. It really is well worth hunting down. Just don't hold your breath waiting for Sony Australia to release it.

Nelly Furtado - Night Is Young

Labels:

, ,
    You know Christmas is coming when the shops begin to flood with 'greatest hits' packages and cynically timely re-releases. I really couldn't give a shit about most of them - with the obvious exception of Queen Ke$ha's future classic "Cannibal" - but I'll definitely grab a copy of "The Best Of Nelly Furtado" when it hits stores on the 15th of November. The Canadian pop star has always been a favourite of mine. I was literally obsessed with her debut album to the point where my ex-boyfriend threw it out the car window to avoid hearing "I'm Like A Bird" one more time. What a cunt! Then "Folklore" came along and I fell for her new, softer sound but also happily went along for the ride when she sold out and jumped on the Timbaland bandwagon. Nelly is nothing if not versatile!

    Since "Loose" propelled the diva back to the A List, she's been busy working on a number of side projects like her beautiful Spanish album "Mi Plan" (I don't care about her pronunciation, haters!) as well as collaborations with N.E.R.D. and Tiesto. I guess that makes Nelly's latest single a comeback of sorts - being her first solo, English language release since 2007's "Do It". Has it really been that long? The reaction to "Night Is Young" has been a bit mixed but, as usual, I'm on board. It's not the deepest song Nelly has ever written but I like the upbeat lyrics and fun chorus. With everyone from P!nk to Katy Perry churning out mindless party anthems, it would have been nice for her to do something different but I'm not complaining. "Night is Young" will do nicely over summer. There isn't a video yet but Nelly recently performed an acoustic version (below), which I think I actually prefer. She looks and sounds gorgeous. Can't wait to hear the other new tracks!

Pop Panel - Week 8

Labels:

, , , ,
    This week's Pop Panel was a lot of fun. I decided to shake things up by throwing some obscure international pop acts into the mix and it was great to see how well they were recieved. If nothing else it proves that good music is universal. That's particularly true of our winners. Yes, we have a tie! I love both songs but there can only be one "Single Of The Week", so I picked an outright champion. I hope the rest of the Panel doesn't mind! Speaking of which, this week's judges are:

    Mike author of this classy blog.
    Paul (UK) writer of Fizzy Pop
    Rob (UK) writer of Don't Stop The Pop
    The Prophet (AUS) writer of The Prophet

    Unfortunately, D'Luv and Pablo have taken the week off but I've managed to round up some worthy replacements. Some of you might already know David, the fabulous exhibitionist who writes Cobrastyle (yes, that is his bulge). He's one of my favourite Spanish bloggers despite his obsession with Rachel Stevens. Our other guest judge is Tommie, who is a former Dannii's Dirty Box contributor. The Swedish bitch can now be found trolling music forums like Togerland and Pop Justice. Sadly, he doesn't have any crotch shots to share. On that classy note, here are the songs ranked from least to most popular:

    Eleze – Teardrop (Video)

    Not to be confused with the Dutch Queen of Dance, Elize. This Massive Attack cover is currently burning up the club charts.

    David: I have mixed feelings when a great song is turned into a dance track. It's cheap and low brow but I guess its main audience will love it. I found it extremely boring. This is not particulary fun to dance to. Believe me, I tried. 1/5
    Mike: The remixes are fantastic but this edit is a bit unfortunate. I just wish Eleze would cover something a bit less iconic next time. 3/5
    Paul: Ah the elusive "video not available in your country due to copy right restrictions" which puts me off her a bit before I even hear the song. Tracked it down. Wished I hadn't. 2/5
    Rob: Boring. 1/5
    The Prophet: There's nothing I hate more in this world than High NRG covers of old songs (I'm looking at you Cuntcada). I can't believe she covered and destroyed Massive Attack... stupid bitch! 0/5
    Tommie: I was a bit afraid to listen to this as I worship the original, but this isn't as much of a nuclear disaster as I assumed it would be. Stick the original vocals on it and it would make a good remix! 3/5
    Total: 10/30

    Kick - Ge Mig Lite Mer (Video)

    The Lady GaGa sound has now officially infiltrated Sweden.

    David: The Gaga similarties are the only thing we can really comment on. I think it's way too soon for the music industry to capitalize and mutate the Lady Gaga sound into something worth mentioning. 0/5
    Mike: The brunette looks like she'd knife you for breathing on her. It's all a bit cheap and derivative but I like their skankiness and can't wait to hear their next low brow anthem. 2.5/5
    Paul: I once knew a lesbian called Kaz (who looks like BB10's Lisa) who had those piercings all over her face. People may say this takes the Lady Gaga sound but isn't it really taking the sound of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" and Wynter Gordon's "Surveillance"? Which is what the GG stole anyway. That doesn't really summarise the song - sorry! It's only ok. 2.5/5
    Rob: I remember seeing Kick perform at last year's Gay Pride in Sweden. Back then they were pretending to be R'n'B chicks. Now they've gone all Lady GaGa making them appear somewhat like a bitchier Lucky Twice which is okay but I think they have the potential to be more bad ass. Nice work girls but next time try a lot harder. 2/5
    The Prophet: Absolute scum of a pig. Where the fuck did you find this trash? How dare this chorus be catchy! 2.5/5
    Tommie: Due to the desperation and skankitude of this track, I feel like I should love it a bit more than I do. But I don't. 2/5
    Total: 11.5/30

    Ciara ft. Missy Elliot – Work (Video)

    Single number two from Ciara's floptastic "Fantasy Ride".

    David: The original was one of the few things I rescued from the album and it didn't need Missy Elliott to, ahem, work and I feel the need to say "shut up and let the song play" every time she appears. The fact is with no visual support it sounded like "black" Britney and her Danja-"Blackout" sound, with the video I thought of Janet's inheritance to earth (and Britney Spears must be one of them), Lady Gaga's stylist and even Beyoncé's weird dance routines and Pussycat Dolls' cheap lapdance. I don't know if it's a compliment. 3/5
    Mike: Ciara has made a career jackin' Beyoncé's swagga and this is probably her most blatant act of thievery yet. Strippers will be flashing their tits to "Work" for years to come but I don't think that's going to save the poor man's Sasha Fierce taking a one way fantasy ride to Flopsville. 2.5/5
    Paul: Hideous outfit in the video. And the song is pretty dreadful. That's not a chorus that's a dog barking. Ooo look, there's Missy Elliot. I rest my case. Yuck. Give me the Saturdays "Work" anyday. 1/5
    Rob: There's so much potential in this but it doesn't quite 'work'. The video is amazing but the song sounds so 2002. 2/5
    The Prophet: With one swing of her weave she makes all ya faves redundant! The weave spin at 3:30 defines me as a person... All ya faves could never. 5/5
    Tommie: I'm not a huge Ciara fan, but this makes me feel a bit toppy Pete. It's a lot of noise, but enjoyable energetic noise. 3/5
    Total: 16.5/30

    VV Brown – Shark In The Water (Video)

    VV is hoping for a hit to match the endless blog hype!

    David: Her visual concepts are amazing, so amazing they don't match with the songs because the level is so high. I just wish I lived in a world where someone like her could live from her music and could sell more records than Duffy. Let's all close our eyes and let the summer sunshine burn all the bad memories away. I love it. 5/5
    Mike: This poor bitch is suffocating in her own hype. VV's got talent but she's not the second coming. Having said all that, "Shark In The Water" is by far the best thing she's ever put her name to. There might be hope for her yet! 3.5/5
    Paul: When will the amazing VV be as massive as, uh, Little Boots? Love this song, great guitar led verses, sweet wailing in the background before a killer chorus about a shark in the water. This really should have been sung by Deborah Gibson for her mega shark movie theme. Aces. 4/5
    Rob: Heavy with cliches, I've tried my best to fall in love with VV Brown but 'Shark In the Water" is all mouth and no trousers. For sure there's a melody in there, however, she refuses to truly convey any emotion that the lyrics demand the singer own. This is about tragedy and heartbreak. Instead, VV Brown sings the song like she's trying to remember her times-tables. Very disapointing. 1/5
    The Prophet: I really like VV but she's actually not as amazing as everyone makes out, or at least her songs aren't. That doesn't include "Shark In The Water" though, which is fucking amazing. VV is all things stunning and fabulous! 4.5/5
    Tommie: I keep hearing and hearing and hearing about this girl and yet she never seems to live up to the hype. Stop obsessing about this girl bloggers, she ain't that good and "Shark In The Water' is average! I'm giving this a zero in protest. 0/5
    Total: 18/30


    Queensberry – Too Young (Above)

    Germany's 2nd biggest girlband strike again.

    David: The beginning made me think of Israeli pop about some yidish fag getting laid. The chorus made me think of midnineties summer singles that flirted with the Ibiza sound. Nice. 3/5
    Mike: These German stunners show the UK slappers how it's done! I love the big chorus and the ever so slightly over the top synths. Consider No Angels officially kicked to the curb! 4/5
    Paul: I quite like this. They do get a bit screechy in the chorus, but it's forgiveable. It's very generic pop though, which probably isn't for me. I like new things introduced slowly (except in the sack obviously, where i'm quite the whore). 3/5
    Rob: No Angels, their rivals, will have to up their game when they comeback as "Too Young" is amazing. 5/5
    The Prophet: It's so funny to think that there's all these random girl groups existing in other countries we've never heard of but they're really big in their homeland. Anyways I don't expect to hear from them anytime soon since they're scum trash. 2/5
    Tommie: Am I the only one who thinks of dingleberries when I hear the name Queensberry? No? Just me then? Anyway, it's the usual radio fodder. Not horrible by any means, but nothing special either. 2/5
    Total: 18.5/30

    Shelley Harland – Friday (Video)

    This local talent has been making waves for some time. "Friday" is her 2nd single.

    David: Nice song but there's nothing catchy about it, I guess it could work with persistence but I can't be bothered. It's nice enough. On the other hand, the video is amazing. But let's just keep this shit about the music. 2/5
    Mike: Shelley's last single was great in an incredibly depressing kind of way but thankfully this is a little more upbeat. I really hope "Friday" takes off. It would be nice to hear something this subtle and pretty on the radio. 4/5
    Paul: Ooo acoustic sounding girl poetry pop. Now this is right up my street. I'm really liking this - such a pretty melody and a nice lilith fair production value. Yes, i'm quite loving this thank you very much. 4/5
    Rob: Nice, if somewhat dull. 3/5
    The Prophet: Hmm acoustic indie-pop, my second most hated genre. With that said I have to admit that I love this whimsical little tune, very cute! 4/5
    Tommie: I usually get off on this type of indie pap, but this is just generic and after three listens I wouldn't be bothered if I never heard it again. 2/5
    Total: 19/30

    Nelly Furtado – Manos Al Aire (Video)

    The lead single from Nelly's forthcoming Spanish album.

    David: Don't misunderstand me - "Loose" is a tremendous album, the biggest slice of pop of its year that smashed the competition and fucked real hard on the ass of its supposed big brother "Futuresex/Lovesounds" but it wasn't a Nelly Furtado album. With some lessons learned Nelly Furtado comes back with an amazing song, that lyricaly brings her back to her "Folklore" days but with an updated sound. Gorgeous song, will do well. 4/5
    Mike: As much as I loved "Loose", it's great to have the real Nelly Furtado back. "Manos Al Aire" is stunningly lovely and continues to grow on me every time I hear it but why isn't she singing in Portuguese? 4/5
    Paul: It's alright. Unlike the Shakira single, it doesn't really set my world on fire. It's a throwback to the more tribal Nelly F of days gone by before Timbaland got his grubby mitts on her. Overall semi-pleasing. 3/5
    Rob: This is sweet and I expect it'll be a massive hit in Spain. 3/5
    The Prophet: I stan for Nelly so I'm almost guaranteed to love this by default. It's just a safe radio pop/rock track, but she did a great good job for the type of song that it is. It's no "Onde Estas" but it'll do for now. 4/5
    Tommie: Oh look. Madonna just got another song to rip-off on her "To Steal" list. Really nice. 3.5/5
    Total: 21.5/30

    SINGLE OF THE WEEK


    Chae Yeon – Shake (below)

    Chae is Korea's most controversial star. This video was banned in her homeland for erotic dancing and for depicting someone on the toilet.

    David: I guess Asian people think the same about this song I think about Guru Josh project or Tom DeBoxer type of songs. 0/5
    Mike: Chae is the hottest bitch in the K Pop game and this is ten kinds of fabulous! I love the tacky rap, amazing (sub-titled) lyrics and catchy chorus. "Shake" is so much fun, it puts all her English speaking counterparts to shame. 5/5
    Paul: well, there is never any need to showcase anyone on the loo because it's entirely vile. And while I didn't like the generic club beat, it had totally won me over by the chorus. Her voice is quite pretty too. English subs were hilarious! 3.5/5
    Rob: Wow. This could be a Korean remixed version of Kylie's rave classic "Do You Dare". Love it. 4/5
    The Prophet: She's hideous, but I love how slutty the chorus is so it gets a good score from me. 4/5
    Tommie: The music video looks like it was filmed on a cellphone, the girl looks like she's about to say "sucky sucky 10 dollahs love u long time" and the song reminds me of something else. I LOVE it. Close the panel, this is the winner! 5/5
    Total: 21.5/30
