SAMANTHA MUMBA RETURNS!
Fresh from hosting lingerie aisles in a Dunnes Stores near to you, she guests on Hill’s new track. And it’s directed by none other than Little Big Man Omero Mumba. Needless to say, it’s a masterpiece. Continue Reading..»
It’s true. We’re not ones to fall in love easily. The current object of our affections is Canadian Synth-Emo Poppette LIGHTS. Part of the Owl City contingent (see BBC’s Sound of 2010 longlist)she’s already massive big in the States/ North America.
Signed by Warner in Europe, LIGHTS does indeed err on the side of cutesy- complete with keytar and self-penned animations and headbands, it gets a bit much, especially in tracks such as ‘Saviour’ (below).
Sad news, pop fans. Miley Cyrus is hanging up her weave. The Party in the USA is cancelled. FOREVER.
In a recent interview with GMTV, Miles stated:
For Miley to give up pop would be literally A Very Bad Thing.
However, this is not unprecedented. She just needs to take an album out to make some sub-standard indie with slightly poppy choruses, realise that in fact, she would rather be making amazing pop songs, and then go back to what she was doing in the first place, albeit with a more realistic/ mature attitude. “Pull a Mark Owen”, effectively.
So, from -
to
to this
We’d obviously replace the ‘Take That’ bits with new Future Miley bits, but we can’t look into the future, so you’ll have to use your imagination, readers.
As Dannii Minogue’s career canters towards its terrifyingly Botox-ed climax this Saturday on X Factor, we here at the Day and Night pop blog thought we’d look back to simpler, happier times. Times when Dannii was an unconvincing blonde with Chola eyebrows, rather than the turbo-Wag she is now. Times when Dannii tried to establish herself as a credible Dance artist, worked with Xenomania and had a multi-million dollar deal with Warner Bros. Times when Dannii Minogue made literally the best video of her career.
Best Bits:
1. Proto-web-chat segments/ Dannii LIVING IN THE INTERNET
2. The internet looking like a disco.
3. Lyrics being acted out (0.30)
4. Some brilliant Green Screen action (2.20)
5. Dannii rocking out (2.40-3.00)
6. Sky fish (3.32-34)
Worst Bits:
1. Goldsfish not being properly looked after. Pets are not just props, Ms Minogue.
The song for the X Factor finals has been chosen. It’s Miley’s ‘The Climb’. We could make a comment about how this song represents the challenges the winning contestant will face in the Big Bad World- not least whether or not their friends will abandon them when they upgrade to flash everyday items (such as quilted loo roll, or Marks and Spencers milk)- or how it’s been chosen to target a far younger audience, ostracizing aul lads like Danyl and Ollie. But we won’t. What we do what to know, however, is what props they might use. Stacy’s too tall, so she’ll probably just mince around the stage (hopefully with flashing pictures of Baby Zac on a greenscreen in the background). Joe, however, has the world in his hand. He could ACTUALLY CLIMB SOMETHING.
Look at him, little thing, desperate to climb he is
So, what do you recommend Joe climbs? We’d suggest a ladder that goes up to a platform, on which a children’s choir is singing, but we’re democratic and open to suggestion.
Husky beat-packer Timbaland is gearing up for the release of his new record- Shock Value 2. The LP hosts vocals from basically anyone to ever have any kind of hit. We’re talking Elton John, Daughtry, and Miley (obv). And, Katy Perry. Normally the combination of Katy and Timbaaaaaaaaaaaaa (sorry, we’ve looked ‘Timbaland’ up in UD and that’s the correct pronunciation) would make us want to, well, we won’t go into that. But ‘If We Ever Meet Again’ has wormed its way onto the internet, and it’s literally not bad.
Please Note: The song is a remorseful floor-filler. Timbaaaaaa and Katy only caught eyes and had a little ‘moment’ in The Club. It is poignant.
Our Top 4 Favourite Bits?
1. The little Swannee whistle at 0.04
2. How it goes from Timbaaaaa being all alone At The Club chatting Katy up, to being INSIDE KATY’S THOUGHTS at 0.45.
3. At 1.38, Katy admits that she is ‘flirting with her eyes’. This is an advanced stage of ‘smiling with your eyes’, we think.
4. At 4.07 (yes, we skipped a bit in the middle, it was more of the same really) there is an interloper of sorts going ‘what’ like a slightly deaf uncle.
Our Least Favourite Bit?
The scary section from 4.27 onwards. This might have been a remnant of another track. Sort it out please.
“What I want to bring to the table is f*cking fun!”
Meet Ke$ha. She’s written for Miley and the Veronicas. She has very good hair. We would happily go for a dance with her, but would be fearful that she would want to make it into a ‘session’ and suddenly it would be Monday, and that’d be the weekend gone, readers. Just look at her behaviour in the ‘Tik Tok’ video. Disgraceful. Mind you, we enjoy how she’s wearing clothes that transition well from day to night. She must have picked up the latest issue of Grazia Or should that be Gra$ia? No. We’ve just checked, ‘Grazia’ was correct. Continue Reading..»
