VipMedia Recommends/Katy Perry
Posted on 23.8.10 at 8:06 PM.

While Katy Perry's album is out, we decided to throw in our favourite tracks from the album that caught our ears from the first listen. There is handful of growers in it though that didn't fit in to this list but these are currently our favourites. If you dissagree, post your own opinions.

Teenage Dream
"Teenage Dream" is much more radio-friendly and instant than the first single and provides amazing chorus that just fills you with good feelings. Perfect second single and sure chart topper. There is no more details I should go into, I just love the song and think it's perfect single for her.

California Gurls
The song was cool summer-tune and it was great single because it did what it was suppose to do but in the end, it wears out quite easily and at the time I heard it for the first time, I didn't think it was all that "current". Glad it worked in the end, theme in the end was perfect for the song.

E.T (Futuristic Lover)
From the very first seconds, this sounds like a hit. It provides a melody in both verses and in chorus that you feel familiar with after hearing them once. Sounds like a classic. Also, it's quite different from her other material, it's more electric but still provides her strong vocals. This is something that sticks out from the album and I think it would've been strong third or fourth single from this album.

Circle the Drain
Katy changes the tone for this song, to angry feminist-ish rocker attitude and delivers cool Pop/Rock track. This has been said to be channelling Alanis Morisette, but it's more Kelly Clarkson than Morisette. This one was released prior the album in itunes, but I wouldn't release this as a single though.

Peacock
Katy Perry completely surprises me with this track that is like a mixture of "If U Seek Amy", "Rude Boy" and Gwen Stefani's style but still not trying too hard to be different. The song's appeal is quite permanent. It first annoys the hell out of you but it grows in to you very quickly and becames something in between but very catchy. The lyrics are amazing, absolutely filthy but very effective! This should be sent to radios RIGHT AWAY.

Firework
Apparently the next single after the title track. The song might not be the first one I would release from the album next, but it has great moments and some raw vocals and emotions. It's alright track and good grower but it needs couple more spins to grow on me totally.

VipMedia Recommends/The Saturdays
Posted on 15.8.10 at 7:53 PM.

http://i32.tinypic.com/30t5o3o.jpg
The Saturdays are about to release their mini-album "Headlines" on monday 16th of August and we are here to post our review of it. We must underline the fact that it's worth every penny and includes strong form of tracks that will no doubt attract more sales to them than "Wordshaker" did. It does include three songs from the second album, but it's all good. "Headlines" is shaping up to be their next best hit record.

Missing You
Their first single released from the album and it already is splitting up the opinions all around. It's not leaving the general public cold though, since they are close to be having their first #1 single with it. They sing half of the track through vocoder but make it work in the electric ballad that you can dance to. The consept just works for me completely and even the dance routine has grown on me. The chorus makes the whole set complete and makes you hum the song in your dreams. It's damn catchy song and one of their finest singles and to be honest, their best first single.

Ego
Their second single off "Wordshaker" was good enough to be included for this EP and good enough to be their second best selling single. The song is still as good as it was, but I still think the chorus is lacking something that verses have. They should've added the Radio Edit to this EP instead of the album version.

Higher
This is officially the second single and it became an early fanfavourite from the album, even before "Missing You" was out. It's another autotuned hit to be happening and it has strong melodic synth with catchy chorus in similar way with "Up". This one is expected to be their next huge hit.

Forever Is Over
This was the first single from the previous album and it must be the lowest ranked track from this EP. It took quite long time to grow and it took short time to get bored to. It's not bad song, but it doesn't have enough POP and catchyness to keep up the intrest like their other songs usually do. The chorus is beautiful but it's just too dark for them.

Died In Your Eyes
This is the Kristinia DeBarge-cover and it shaped up being better than I expected. This became instantly a personal track for me by it's lyrics. Despite being a cover, it sounds like orginal track by them and I could even see this being their christmas single. Even if I'd release "Puppet" first. This even sounds like a throwback to the sound of All Saints in someway. Not bad.

Karma
The song kicks in quite instantly and it's fun electro-pop event for them. It's fun album track, but not worth to be released as a single despite being quite catchy one.

Puppet
This was the most anticipated track for me from the whole set. It features bassy, sassy verses that transform the girls into Pussycat Dolls-esque kittens. It's still tasty, classy but sounds very diffirent from their previous songs. The chorus is one of the catchiest I've heard in a long time. This just MAKES you dance and stays in your head for weeks. If this won't became a single, I'm gonna beat someone. "Puppet" sounds like a club-hit too, which isn't something The Saturdays have reached before. New sound, new image and sexy video and they have hit in their hands. The first leaked version sounded tasty but HQ version sounds overwhealmingly great!

One Shot (Starsmith Mix)
"One Shot" was planned to be single from "Wordshaker" and the whole plot with having this little modified remix to be added to this EP proves it. Starsmith Mix doesn't change the structure of the song, it just adds new electro elements to it. It's not bad and it was never a bad song. This mix wraps up a fantastic mini-album and it's totally worth of purchasing. They are the type of a girlgroup who have never released a bad album. "Wordshaker" might've been a small flop, but it was never bad record. Hopefully they'll get lots of success with this one.

VipMedia presents/Singles Review
Posted on 29.5.10 at 2:13 AM.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/16/DancingOnMyOwn.jpg
Robyn
"Dancing on my Own"
(Worldwide release June 14th)

Robyn is back with another melancholic electro anthem with heartbreaking lyrics performed with her soft vocals. She captures well her underground/alternative fans and her comercial pop fans, balancing in between musically. Robyn is well in charge with her music and this could be another success in her pocket. Single version features new sound, more alive electro clicks and the chorus kicks in more effectively. "Dancing on my Own" might just be on par with her previous heartbroken single "With every Heartbeat" with it's ability to grow into being catchy, potential chart hit. Only time and promotion will tell if she succeeds and if this is strong enough to make a diffirence.

8½/10


Rihanna
"Te Amo"
(Europe: June 11th)

Something that seems to be still very in, is playing with sexuality and to mess up the boundaries with that theme. When t.A.T.u made their lesbian image big little less than ten years ago, it was very controvercial and too fresh thing to be played with too much. Now it seems that stars like Kylie, Christina and Lady Gaga are pushing out the clear signals for gay community with their lyrics and provocative, playful music videos and RiRi is jumping on board. "Te Amo" was the first track from "Rated R" to leak, very early before it was even known that it would end up on her final tracklist. The fanbase has treasured the lyrics and the theme of the catchy mid-tempo treat and it's now finally being released.

In the track, she is gently dealing with a woman in love with her, breaking her heart with confessing that she doesn't feel the same way. Sad, beautiful lyrics reflect the pain, are sensual and interesting enough for this track to become something bigger in future. The melody itself is catchy, but the theme is what makes the song bigger than it is and it will probably be the final stamp on it to make it succesful. Controvercial but expectedly sexually charged video has been just released to make even bigger buzz around the project.

9-/10


Kylie
"All the Lovers"
(Digital release: June 13th, Physical: June 28th)

Kylie will be releasing a summer album and the first single "All the Lovers" is like a electro sun itself. Not that it's the brightest "star" on her sky at all. It's a mid-tempo song, a mixture of "The One" with lots of influences from "I Believe in you". As much of a grower "All the Lovers" is, hopefully her album offers diffirent kind of tracks too. This is slightly safe choice for a single, without being totally predictable hit. It has all of the elements that are needed from a Kylie-track but might not have the right sound or tempo to compete with handful of singles out at the same time. She should've released something fierce with high confidence level and get to the charts like a rocket. "All the Lovers" could be and probably is a sure Top 10 hit in UK but it's not her best material. At all.

7½/10

Nicole Scherzinger
"Nobody Can change Me"
(TBA)

Nicole has premiere her first single and it doesn't have sexy lyrics with urban Timbaland-driven beats as you could imagine. This is very diffirent from what you'd expect from her but still slightly similar to her group's, The Pussycat Dolls "I Hate this Part" sound which could be quite comercial radio sound for US markets. But would this be a hit without her winning "Dancing with the Stars"? Probably not. "Whatever U Like", her orginal first single that was then changed to buzz-single when it flopped, was much better and could've been a huge hit. Nicole is one of these female stars that have amazing talents, she has fantastic vocal skills and she is professional dancer. But it's been her personality and image that has been putting people off.

This is cool track but I wouldn't count on it as a first single and it's not something I am excited about. "Doll Domination" and "Her name is Nicole" were very closely soundwise and both projects had some of the amazing tracks but this new one doesn't click that heavily. It's very dissapointing since at this point, it's make or break for her. To continue with multi-million selling girlgroup and still be in charge with all the vocals or to be alone on stage and not be succesful. I'll keep my eyes on this project, this will be interesting to see.

7-/10


Miley Cyrus
"Can't be Tamed"
(Out now digitally!)

Miley is upgrading her music releases step by step. Miley wants to be unleashed from the cage and she shall be, since every second she gets less Disney and more like herself, she gets more fans and more mature. "Can't be Tamed" is lyrically fitted well to her current situation with media, where she is constantly ripped to pieces. But the most important part is the catchiness that is just so effective. "Can't be Tamed" and the future material from Miley will be a turnaround for her career, since just when she is on top musically, she is releasing her last pop record in awhile. This track has lots of fans and I'm one of them. Months ago I was still in denial with Miley, not completely backing up her but now it's safe to admit that she is getting better and better and this is the best comercial pop we have heard from Miley yet. Nothing too mature or deep, just catchy radio-friendly Pop-music.

9/10

VipMedia Recommends/No Angels
Posted on 13.9.09 at 12:58 AM.

No Angels, German girlgroup have just released their new album "Welcome to the Dance" and the title fits to the album very well, it's like a invitation to dance. The first single "One Life" is fantastic choise and represents the new electric edge very well. It's like mixture of Danity Kane's and Monrose's last albums but with No Angels twist. Only negative issue is the first half of the songs sounding so similar, so you could think that it was all produced by same team. But download the highlights, tell us what you think and support the girls by buying the full album!

One Life
Fantastic song to get the attention back to No Angels and perfect first single. Video and the song fit perfectly together and the song is just filled with potential to become a hit everywhere, even their first single to be succesful in US but it won't be released. If you haven't seen the video yet, check it out!

Derailed
Intro reminds of some unreleased Monrose-ballad but it shortly grows into pretty electric mid-tempo song with powerful, beautiful chorus. The best ballad from the album with catchy melody. It would be nice to hear this in a new way, more simple and stripped. Maybe they'll do it on their tour or release this later as a single.

Dance-Aholic
Strongly formed dance-track with nice chorus and very potential future single-choise. Well produced track brings back Britney's "Blackout" sound and the "party" keeps going until the end.

Shut your Mouth
Fantastic song with nice dancey beats similar to Destiny's Child "Lose My Breath", intro huntingly similar to Janet Jackson's "Feedback" with catchy chorus and attitude. Another track to make a diffirence and to

Up Against the Wall
Softly starting electric Pop-piece has nice vocals and slower tempo that works perfectly. Chorus is the best part of the song! Again, strong single-choise if it's chosen.

Too Old
Definately one of the instant favourites from the album and it HAS to be a second single from the album. It's as catchy and radio-friendly hit as "If U Seek Amy" by Britney with similar strong beats that make a strong structure to the song. Just perfection! Fantastic song to play anywhere to introduce No Angels to anyone.

Downboy
I've mentioned Britney now twice but I have to say that this is a song Britney needed for her "Circus" album and I can't help to picture a circus theme to this video, if it ever gets filmed. Another fantastic, cheeky and sexy track to be lifted as a single. This song just doesn't bore you at any point and just keeps getting better.

VipMedia Presents.../Singles Review

http://www.girlscantcatch.com/uploaded/07230939070_girls%20cant%20catch%20-%20keep%20your%20head%20up%20(packshot)%20site.jpg
Girls Can't Catch - Keep Your head Up
(Single out Now!)

UK's new girlgroup show that if Girls can't catch, they can indeed make Catchy music though. "Keep your Head Up" is fantastic piece of pop, even though their style or personalities wouldn't be as par with the perfect Pop-single. It's a great debut with bit more edge and attitude than the fellow girlgroups deliver. I can't see the longevity of this group like The Saturdays or Girls Aloud have, especially the one mentioned last has nothing to prove anymore. Sadly, it's been seen on UK charts that this song didn't meet the success it deserved but it's definately all on the zero promotion they had. Anyway, fantastic debut girls!

8/10

http://i30.tinypic.com/2l6vqe.jpg
Lady Gaga - Paparazzi
(Out in UK/Australia now!)

"Paparazzi" is finally a single release! Gaga is now doing something diffirent from her past two bangers "Poker Face" and "LoveGame" and she's working it well on this diffirent Pop-track too! It could be Britney's, but it's Lady Gaga's shot to show the world how diffirent she can be as she has already proved her unpredictable nature in her outfits and interviews. This one is little softer and isn't right in your face but it's a little Pop perfection and has already recieved great Top 10 slots on almost everywhere released. Song features twisted love/obsession-themed words and Gaga's strong edgy recognizeble voice on the verses and beautiful soft vocals on the chorus, but no matter how great the song is on the record, she sounds just as fantastic performing this song live! Best possible single-choise from the album, that is packed with potential hits for the future if she chooses to milk the record to bits.

9/10

http://i27.tinypic.com/16k8e1h.jpg
Backstreet Boys -Straight through my Heart (Soldier Down)
(To be released digitally: 18.8)

Backstreet Boys aren't gonna settle with remaining fans and their moderate success of previous few albums, they are hungry for another huge worldwide-hit and it's heard in this RedOne-driven first single. The song features similar 80's influenced beats as Enrique Iglesias and Lady Gaga's tracks produced by the same man, but it does have a good own sound of the boys. Chorus sounds like a huge next Backstreet Boys hit and verses feature all of the guy's fantastic vocals. It's unheard from the song itself whether it will be a huge hit all over or will it have just moderate success and Top 30 peaks, because it all depends on how well the promotion and video goes down but at least the fans and non-fans have given great reviews for the song. It's positive that Boys followed their roots and didn't go all Gaga to make a hit with repeative hooks and lose themselves into this new electric sound, although they do sound like they really tried their best to make this a huge hit. But isn't it supposed to be like that, everyone making the records sound like hits and their best efforts? Sounds like a hit to me, though I never got bored with their music in the first place and thought their gig and last album was fantastic.

8½/10

http://www.dirrtyinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kristinia.jpg
Kritisnia DeBarge - Sabotage
(Worldwide release soon!)

Fantastic "Goodbye" that was total club-banger with one of the best hooks for the summer and had minor success worldwide with the radio and club play is just to be released in some european countries and it peaked #15 in US already. The label is pushing double A-Side of "Future Love/Sabotage" out in US to create even more buzz around the new-comer. Kristinia has somewhat great features on her looks and great voice with potential, but something tells us she'll be drowned in the moderate hits world along with Ciara, Keri Hilson and others who have yet to get the worldwide success of R&B superstars like Rihanna. "Goodbye" was definately the sharpest she had to offer for now but "Sabotage" doesn't go to far with fantastic vocals and great melody. It's fantastic choise to get her name out there, but she will need more promotion and more edgier tracks to pull it off big time. There is lots of urban sisters out there to compete with but "Sabotage" is fantastic song to be added to your iPod's. Get it!

7/10

File:MadonnaCelebrationSingle.jpg
Madonna - Celebration
(Out now Digitally!)

Madonna's is ready to hit the clubs again with a new single from the hit collection under the same title. It seems like a confirmation about "Hard Candy" being just musical experiment that is now over, because the song kicks in with the most club-friendliest Dance-beats and the song's structure is like anthem of all club-hits. There is no doubts about this single being next worldwide #1 single again, if not just because it is Madonna (no matter how wrong or right it is) but like it was heard in some reviews, it does sound somewhat dated but maybe it's positive for Mad to finally find her own sound and not following the latest music trends and going all Gaga. "Celebration" is a huge dance-hit, despite the cheesy title and it does deliver great chorus and catchy hooks. While the song is fantastic and the greatest hits cover is fantastic, the single cover is trashy and horrible artwork - it just didn't work. Anyway, no matter how no-one will remember this song or the quite repeative and meaningless lyrics, "Celebration" will be another hit.

8/10

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/97/Get_Sexy.jpg
Sugababes - Get Sexy
(Out in UK 31.8)

Sugababes were in the same path with Backstreet Boys, to follow their current direction and just trust what they know best or to do something dramatically diffirent and make a move to sound of the hits today and be called "sellouts". They did just like BSB did and it for sure works with them too. "Get Sexy" sounds like a hot mess in first plays and if you knew these girls from the beginning, the image in your head for the song probably wasn't all positive. The single shapes up to be a huge hits with the repeative hook and the lyrics that makes you want to get all slutty and dance, which is very diffirent from how you felt like the first time. "Get Sexy" is a club-banger and just as effective as they intented it to be, but it's not immediate hit and it does wear out rather quickly - or it's just the fifty plays of the song since it leaked but it will be a huge hit probably for sometime. Sugababes do have more in store though, album with diffirent sounds, big producers and more electric-twist and it will possibly be a success for them after their previous album flopped. Remember to get the single when it's released, if not just for the two-sided posted included on the single.

8½/10

VipMedia Presents.../True or False? Rumour Alert!
Posted on 4.7.09 at 1:47 AM.

There has been rumours going on all over about these next subjects. VipMedia gets down and clears up some of the gossip, so take a look!

Claim: Girlicious will release new music very soon?
True.

One of the remaining girls, Nichole from the current trio Girlicious has confirmed that they are currently in the studio working on a new single and they hope for the release by the end of summer, along with a video-clip. They've been working on their second album, while they booted out one girl, Tiffany (on far right on the photo above).

Claim: Britney Spears will release a new music later this year?
Possibly True

But we do know for sure that Britney's label has been preparing for her next album or re-release of "Circus" with list of the songs for Britney. It's still unknown will they put out the re-release and it probably depends on how well "Radar" does and how quick will Britney record the songs. She haven't recorded anything yet, she's been reharsing for the European leg of the tour. More details will be updated as the story developes.

Claim: Pussycat Dolls will release "Elevator" as the final single/Video?
False

There has been reports from a fake twitter account of Billboard, multiple sources claim it's 100% fake and they have another account that is official. Ashley also wasn't referring to a new music video being shot, instead she is filming a video blog to youtube. Kim also confirmed "Hush Hush" as their final single awhile ago. Also, how much would you bet for it? It's not even on DD 2.0 (Which still has no official release date in US.).

Claim: Sugababes will release their album sooner than expected?
True

Sugababes are already done with their new album and it's in the final mixing stage and the new single will be premiered on Radio 1 next week.

Claim: Britney's new song on EU leg of the tour is "Overprotected"?
Unknown

There has been rumours about the new song being totally new, brand new song or being "Mannequin" or "Kill the Lights", but latest reports from the fans claim that "Overprotected" is indeed the new song. It was posted on the official site for a moment but quickly removed after. Although it looks real, we keep it under the title "Unknown". We're gonna find out later today when Britney performs in Paris, France.

VipMedia Presents../A-Teens
Posted on 3.5.09 at 3:46 PM.


Remember A-Teens? The Prime Pop-group from Sweden that started out in 1999 with the brilliant Abba-remakes and then moved on to their orginal material, making hits all over the world and releasing respectable 14 singles. Their last video and single "I promised myself" was released in 2004 and it was huge hit in Sweden, Ukraine, Estonia, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico, also charting well around europe. Their every single was Top 20-single somewhere and mostly very succesful and they released their final album "Greatest Hits" in 2004 before announcing 2-year break and eventually parting their own ways to pursue solo careers.

There has been rumours about possible reunion of the group, but since Sara and Marie are currently still busy with their own careers (Sara releasing soon her debut album and Marie recording her second album). In December, Sara was asked about the connection between the group and she replied the members still being like "another family", yet not being in contact with Marie Serneholt for long time, still wishing her the best. When asked about rumours of the group attending on Swedish eurovision song contest semifinals, Sara replied it being "somewhat true". Rumours say A-Teens were asked to be part of it but they got just Marie Serneholt as a solo artist with her first single "Disconnect Me". Sarah then made a comment about reunion: "Since I'm in a good spot right now with my own record, I said that maybe sometime in the future but not this year. Doesn't really fit with the planning of everything, but it would've been so much fun!"

Here's our favourites and some rare pieces to celebrate the awsome band!

VipMedia Presents.../Summer Playlist
Posted on 27.4.09 at 8:23 PM.


Here's a little special for the best Summer Tunes, you should be feeling this summer and when exactly. Summer is approaching in here too, so we need our summer-feeling bumped to the max and with these songs, you can do it! Enjoy!


Morning/Afternoon:


A-Teens -Cross my Heart
You're lying in the beach and let the beautiful summer-feeling hit you while this group sings one of their best songs, left unreleased as a single unfortunately. Perfect way to start up the morning in the beach.

Booty Luv -Some Kind of Rush
Seriously, this is THE summer anthem and total feel-good-song. If you are EVER totally down, you must listen to this and feel your body shiver and the blood starts to rush in your body! Listen to it before you hit a club, in your car with your roof down or just before you go out and have some fun with your friends. This works for sure!

The Saturdays -Just Can't get Enough (Radio Mix)
Good song to make you feel good and enjoying the day while the sun shines on you. Just sing a long and relax, you'll know the lyrics, trust us.

Girls Aloud -Long Hot Summer
Just when you start to get "too hot" for all of the sunshine, just cool off and listen to this tune. Take a sip of cold lemon juice or cold sprite and cool down while the fan makes a cold breeze on your skin, so you can go back outside. Or before that, you can watch this delicious music video by Girls Aloud. Meow!

Night/Party

Alesha Dixon -Let's get Excited
This early party-track will get you shaking your body to the beats and feel good! This is a good song to start up your night in a club.

Anna Abreu -Are You Ready?
Let this finnish latino princess put some action to you, just relax and enjoy the nice feeling and dance to these beats. Perfect summer-song.

Monrose -Hot Summer
Who can forget this hot banger? "Beach life, convertable, short dress..." you just can't argue with the lyrics, definately best things in summer. There isn't enough words to express how you never get over this fantastic summer-tune. Definately wires you up for the summer-feeling!

Kelly Rowland -Work (Freemasons Radio Mix)
Doesn't this make you feel or hot in a summer-club or remind you strongly from last summer. This is a tune just for you throw your shirt in the corner and dance your ass off and watch for those beautiful ladies shaking their bodies to the beat.

Pussycat Dolls - Jai Ho! (You're my Destiny)
Watch us leaving the stupid "Featuring Nicole" part away from the title. Anyway, fantastic anthem to end up your fantastic night while you're dancing with your friends. It has nice eastern feeling to bring up more heat.

Dawn/Sunset

DJ Sammy -Boys of Summer
This is what you have to listen while you're driving off watching the beautiful sunset. Just fantastic song that reminds you of those fun memories you experienced earlier that day or later at the end of the summer.

Melanie C -Feel The Sun
While the sunset colours the world to orange, just feed the warm summer-night with this beautiful joint and maybe feel the shivers on your body and share a special kiss with your special someone while the sun goes down.

All Saints -Pure Shores
Just when the summer has faded into horizont, you can still bump your feelings up as the day is so not over for you yet. Just enjoy the beach and the colder night as the world starts to go blue. Definately a summer-song from All Saints. Beautiful.

Girls Aloud -Hear Me Out
From the experience, I can say this belongs to the summer-nights when it's already bit cold and you feel bit moody. Just let these beats echo in your earpieces while you're walking in the empty streets on 4 AM in the morning.

Enjoy and discuss.

File:AR Rahman & PCD Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny).jpg
Pussycat Dolls ft. Nicole Scherzinger
"Jai Ho! (You are my Destiny)"
Nicole, The lead-doll takes a big jump towards the solo stardom in this new Pop-single from the Dolls, interprention of Slumdog Millionaire song "Jai Ho" and sings basically every line of the song, yet the girls can be seen quickly in the video clip dancing in the background. The song itself is powerful quick-tempo number with eastern influences, yet being great "sequence" for their previous WW-Single "I Hate this Part". Nicole does great job with the vocals and this song really has brought the hype back around these girls. Sadly enough, the girls themselves just end up looking like poor backup dancers in this project, that is one of the best tracks from them yet. It's no "Buttons" but it's something new and diffirent.

P.s Hopefully they come up with better cover art for the physical release of the single (EU/UK), that is happening on April 13th.

9/10

File:Please don't leave me.jpg
P!nk
"Please Don't Leave Me"
After fantastic two singles, "So What" and "Sober", P!nk chooses to release beautiful mid-tempo track. This song sounds fantastic as a album-track, but as a single it doesn't make the similar outstanding effect. We couldn't predict this to be a huge hit, even when the video is a great example of her fun humorous side. Rumoured single "I Don't Believe You" would've been better choise, but fans have voted against it. But, the album definately has good tracks to offer besides this song. "Funhouse", the title-track that reminds a bit of her version of Maroon 5-track is potential canditate for a single, as well as "It's all your fault" that is Kelly Clarkson-esque powerful Pop-hit, written by Max Martin.

"Please Don't Leave Me" works well for couple of spins and it could be a minor-hit, but we have heard better stuff from Miss Alicia Moore. The video outshines the track this time.

6½/10

Take That
"The Garden"
Take That made fantastic comeback with their previous album "Beautiful World" and returned with great "The Circus", miming the name of the Britney's latest disc. Their 3rd single "The Garden" features vocals of all members of the group and it's just second single from them to do so. While we prefer Gary's vocals on their tracks, rest of the gang do work in this song. The song is lyrically simple, creating a beautiful melody and starting from where "The Greatest Day" left, losing a couple miles to it and to their previous singles from "Beautiful World". Their previous single, "Up All Night" was clearly wrong choise for a single, despite still being a minor hit in UK, charting at #14 and gaining a lot airplay. As a song, it wasn't as sharp as their previous work and "The Garden" only lifts the limits up to halfway.

While not being as attractive and gorgeous as "Rule the World" or as iconic as "Patience", "The Garden" is a good single nonetheless. They should take notes though, because they still have good change for a huge hit in "Said it All", that is something similar to the songs mentioned above and it's instant Gary-driven track with potential. Take notes.

Lady Gaga
"LoveGame"
This cheeky follow-up for "Poker Face" is next up to fill up the dancefloors. It's one of the best tracks from the album, with fantastic, catchy chorus and strong beats pushing the song forward on full force. The controvercial song needed even more controvercial video, so basically this song will be just fuel to the fire, creating even more hype around the new princess of Pop. CD-Single, to be released in Australia on May is on it's way to heavy airplay and becoming a future summer-hit.

Miss Gaga tends to repeat herself a bit just adding new flavours to the next project and this is exactly what happends now. Some might consider this too similar to "Poker Face", yet they'll be dancing this in clubs within few months.

Girls Aloud
"Untouchable"
After getting used to more electric Radio Version of the song, "Untouchable" could be their next huge hit, or it could be their first to miss Top 10. Fanfavourite, our definate favourite and 3rd single from the album has lots of expectations under it's belt. Good, futuristic video, beautiful and vocally rich first performance and their underwhealming chart-run of their previous single has set a bittersweet anticipation around the track. Judging from the track itself, there'd be no way this wouldn't be safe Top 10 single or more like Top 5-Single, but it's hard to predict. Would non-fans expect more from this sassy girlgroup? And will they promote this song like hell, as they should?

Despite the release being weeks away, this could be terminal to the consecutive Top 10-Single-record if they don't promote it. Being Top 10 or not, girls are putting their best effort to it. Cheryl is truly shining in this song and even if they did cut most of the lines by Nicola, she does leave her marks on the song with her soft vocals. Radio Edit really messes up the Nicola's lines with putting too much autotune on them, as well as ruining Sarah's lines, but it does make the track more exciting with better ending and good producing.

Hopefully this will be a huge hit, after underwhealming "The Loving Kind", this should be their next number one-single.

9½/10

Kelly Clarkson
"I Do Not Hook Up"
After the huge hit "My life would suck without you", Kelly slows it down to Katy Perry-penned Pop/Rock-single "I Do Not Hook Up" that is somewhere near to her previous material, yet keeping it modern. Somehow still underwhealming song does create nice chorus after nice verses, but it still leaves us halfway. With the album full of Pop-Gems like "If I Can't Have You", agressive quick-tempo piece on the lines of "Fly on the Wall" by Miley Curys (Yes, you heard right, it's actually pretty damn good song from her.) and stunning "Already Gone" that features heart-ripping lyrics with beautiful high pitch vocals and melody similar to Beyonce's "Halo", she will be releasing at least few singles more from the album. If she chooses to promote this one and the airplay backs it up and this doesn't turn into flop.

If it was up to the beautiful cover art, she would have another hit. Kelly puts the end of the damn ugly, simple covers and shows up in the colourful, juicy sleeve that really shows up her camp's photoshopping-skills. Despite the heavy airbrushing, it's all about the gorgeous art.

VipMedia Presents/JANET LEON
Posted on 28.2.09 at 5:47 PM.


Janet Leon, ex-member of Swedish girlgroup Play and her debut solo "Let Go". There is definately influences of Leona Lewis, but this girl is not oversinging these songs, but like with Leona, you will either love this or hate this. But it's a grower too! She's cutie and has fantastic voice and the video is nice yet simple. There has been so much demand in requests for this song and now it's here!

What do you think?

Queensberry/ I can't stop feeling
Posted on 7.2.09 at 7:36 PM.


Here's German Popstars-group, fresh and new Queensberry that are musically and visually, something similar to Monrose and The Saturdays, with their new video for second official song "I Can't stop feeling". It's alright song with alright video. I feel we've seen this all before with Girls Aloud's "Life got Cold" and Monrose's "What you don't know" but I liked both more than this. But it's nice ballad that'll be released with their first single "No Smoke" as the second song (It was released only digitally, so this will be it's debut as physical single) in three CD-Single formats. Yes, you heard! We've come to releasing only one format of CD-Single, but german's obviously know how to play this game, sounds fantastic! I wish I was a bigger fan of these girls, but they are definately growers.

Download the song as mp3!

Posted on 25.1.09 at 10:02 PM.

A new Girlgroup signed to Universal Motown called Jada. They are about to release their debut single, "American Cowboy" produced by now-other than a RedOne. If you loved RedOne's work on Lady Gaga, you'll sure enjoy this "Poker Face"-type of Pop-number. Girls look good, they all have fantastic voices and the song sounds like a hit!

VipMedia Presents/ Upcoming Singles
Posted on 14.1.09 at 4:27 PM.

Kelly Clarkson -Life Would suck without You
(Released Digitally: 16.1)

New hit has born. We seriously predict this to be one of her biggest hits. Chorus that is like a train going on full force, will be stuck on your head for stays! At the same time, this song is Rock, Pop, Electric and vocals are beautiful. Basically this song is a piece of art, that Pop music should be. So make way for Kelly (And No, this wasn't joke about her weight) and expect #1 record!

Pussycat Dolls -Bottle Pop
(Release Date unknown)

From the moments I've heard the clips from the album, I thought it was bigger club banger than "When I grow Up" and knew I'd love the full version and we'd have this as a single. While we almost have no clue what the song really is about, the orginal lyrics really settle nicely over the hard bass beats, that are true test to your boombox. This will sound SO good in a club, if they have proper audio equipments. After the Hot performance of the song (Featuring crotch-hurting splits in the middle of the routine) that made perfect preview for the upcoming hotness, the music video, we have a hit on our hands. While "I Hate this Part" was fantastic, catchy and beautiful, the song was unpredictable and took a long time to really grow and make impact on charts. I think this has something instant innit.


Lady Gaga -LoveGame
(Release Date unknown)

You just can't go wrong with the intro of the song: "Let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick". Catchy, electric and so dirty Miss Gaga is releasing this song as her 3rd worldwide single. The video was shot along with Australian Single "Eh Eh (Nothing else I can say)" and it is expected to be premiered in few weeks. The song is not as fantastic as the hauntingly fierce "Poker Face" or the Megahit "Just Dance", but it has lots of potential. It provides the similar catchy chorus, dancey melody and club-friendly electro-beats. Can't see this one making as huge impact as the two previous, but it's fantastic track anyway.

Next, release "Paparazzi" instead of turning Australian single into 4th worldwide one.


Britney Speas -If U Seek Amy
(Release Date unknown)

"If U Seek Amy" (or whatever it will be called after they destroy it by censoring the chorus, which will lead into changing the title, because it's too "Dirty" to be even mentioned on radio.) is officially her third single. Fans were rather surprised about early confirmation, since the second single "Circus" is being released on February and it's already impacting on radios and charts. "If U Seek Amy" is most likely meant to be early summer-single, debuting approximately on April. The song itself makes strong first impression, even as a early pre-album clip it was definately one of the finest ones on the album. Catchy future-hit is also the kind of songs that will be stuck on your head for days! In few months, this song is whoring all over the charts, clubs and especially on radios! If they don't scrap it because of controvercy.

The Saturdays -Work
(Release Date unknown)

This song screamed a single-release from it's first seconds. This could be much bigger than "Up", that sadly was only #5-single. This is true Pop-anthem and should make a path to next, more succesful follow-up to their debut album. This is just fierce! Club-friendly song starts up with nice vocals but totally explodes in the chorus, the chorus will make it a hit. I predicted "Issues" to be less bigger hit than it turned out to be. It's right now at #4 in midweeks of UK Charts, rising two spots from last week. We see big things coming to them!
