The Ivor Novello Awards are an annual celebration of the best displays of song writing over the past twelve months. It’s British biased, but also highlights songs from abroad which sold particularly well.
This year’s nominations have been revealed, and there is one woman head and shoulders above the rest. Amy Winehouse has managed to secure […]

Some of the bloggers here on the b5 music channel decided to record our Soundtrack For A Day yesterday. This could take different forms, be it all the songs you listened to on that day, a selection from certain moments, or a particular album.
I decided to stick my media player on random and note down […]

8pm - Mika opens the show with his distinct brand of high pitched camp goodness. There’s no flashy backgrounds or staging, with the focus seeming to be on his actual singing, and stage presence instead. Which is a refreshing change.
Beth Ditto arrives on stage, and the two of them embark on a duet combining Love […]

Mika has re-recorded his recent hit single ‘Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)‘ for the American television show Ugly Betty.
In the new version, Mika has changed the chorus lyrics from “Hey big girl, you are beautiful” to “Hey Betty, you are beautiful“. A subtle change I’m sure you’ll agree… hmm.
The song has been reworked to […]

The brilliant Kate Nash finally makes it to number one… but it’s her album which manages it rather than a single. Her debut album ‘Made of Bricks’ which was rush released due to the phenomenal success of ‘Foundations’ has newly entered the charts at number 1, and I’m as pleased as punch for Ms Nash.

I’m not a big fan of Mika, feeling he’s a bit of a one trick pony, BUT, this song is actually quite good, and annoyingly catchy. It’s been out a couple of weeks now, being originally released on July 23rd in the UK, and it’s currently sitting at number 11 in the UK charts.
I love […]
