Beyonce Knowles And Take That Set For The X Factor Final Duets?

The X Factor is only a couple of weeks in but the artists set to duet with the two finalists are already being lined up. Last year saw Kylie Minogue sing with Leon Jackson, the eventual winner of the show, while Rhydian had Welsh songstress Katherine Jenkins. But the acts being lined up this year […]

Alesha Dixon - ‘The Boy Does Nothing’ Music Video Review

To say Alesha Dixon has had a mixed last few years would be an understatement. Both her personal and professional life have seen more ups and downs than you’d experience at Disney world. In fact, you could call her the British Britney Spears, just without the whole insane haircutting escapades.

Originally in the girl group Mis-Teeq, […]

Peter Kay Vs Leon Jackson - Will Fake Reality TV Star Beat The Real Thing To No.1?

I’m not normally that interested in the singles charts, as they mean less now than ever, being dominated, as they are, by whichever pop artist has the most record label money behind them. But this week sees an interesting little battle between a certain reality television star and a fake one.
The X Factor is just […]

Should The BBC Bring Back Top Of The Pops? - The Ting Tings Think So

Top Of The Pops was an iconic music show that was broadcast weekly for 42 years between 1964 and 2006 before being cancelled.
It was one of the few music shows around that played chart music and broke new bands. So is there a case for it to be brought back?
One band thinks so, with […]

Oasis Summer 2009 Tour To Be Biggest Yet

Oasis have only just released new album, Dig Out Your Soul, but haven’t wasted any time in announcing the tour to support it, and it’s a big one. While there are currently only eight gigs on the agenda, they’re all at huge venues, including two dates in Manchester and one each at Slane Castle, Dublin, […]

Adele - ‘Make You Feel My Love’ Music Video Review

Adele is an award winning British artist who has seemingly come from nowhere to be one of the new wave of female artists achieving worldwide success. I’ve had a bit of a love/hate relationship with her, adoring some songs and disliking others. And now she’s covering Bob Dylan. Wow, those are some big boots to […]

Take That ‘The Circus’ Details | Not To Be Confused With Britney Spears ‘Circus’

Take That, the man version as opposed to the boy version, are preparing to release their new album, the follow-up to the stupidly successful Beautiful World.
But, in what can only be described as a colossal coincidence, their album has he same name (barring a The) and release date as Britney Spears new record.
I was […]

Led Zeppelin To Tour With Myles Kennedy Instead Of Robert Plant?

The Led Zeppelin reunion tour rumour bandwagon has been going on for months now, with twists at every turn. Since the band played together at the 02 Arena late last year, there have been calls from band members and fans alike for a full world tour to take place.
September saw a flurry of activity. First […]

Keane - ‘Perfect Symmetry’ Album Review

The new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry, is out on Monday October 13th but due to Last.FM streaming the album in full (albeit with added commentary from the band), I’ve been able to review it ahead of time.
I found reviewing the album quite difficult because it’s hard to forget about what has already been. If […]

Take That & Robbie Williams Talk America

Whenever I hear a story concerning Take That and Robbie Williams, I immediately rush to the conclusion that they’ve decided to get back together as one again. It never happens of course, Robbie has his own career, and Take That are doing better as a new, older, and much wiser foursome without him. But that […]
