Master Shortie - Bringing It Back

2009-11-16T15:25:00.002Z

Well I've talked about Master Shortie before on this blog and he's really only just beginning to get the recognition he deserves. This is a brilliant video and great song.

There are so many dull boring videos around at the moment so it's good to see one that's a bit creative.

Alexandra Burke - Bad Boys

2009-11-13T21:48:00.002Z

This song sums up why I'll always prefer male fashion to female. It also sums up why I prefer men dancing too! :D

Still Alexandra is having a big hit with this and I'm pleased, because she does have a good voice. Just bad taste in clothes.

Britney Spears - One, Two, Three

2009-11-12T14:59:00.002Z

Sorry, but I love Britney. No, I'm not sorry. I love this new song. My 15 year old daughter thinks it's the best track she's ever done. Hmm not sure about that, but it's a great piece of pop.

The video? Not so good. Boring and very predictable.

Cry Me Out - Pixie Lott

2009-11-10T13:44:00.001Z

I love Pixie Lott's new single, Cry Me Out. Something tells me she may have had a few ballet lessons in her younger years.

Scream - Michael & Janet Jackson

2009-11-05T14:59:00.002Z

I was discussing favourite Michael Jackson videos with someone, and didn't think to mention this one, Scream, with his sister, Janet. It was when both of them were in their prime, and I love both the song and the video. Gotta say Janet wins all the prizes for hotness in this video!

50 Cent & Ne-Yo - A Baby By Me

2009-11-03T14:47:00.003Z

What can I say about this new track by 50 Cent? I love, love it. Reminds me of an LL Cool J track in many ways. It appears that 50 Cent has finally grown up. Well he is 35 and has an 11 year old son. So it appears that he wants another kid. Kind of appealing thought saying to a cute chick "Have a baby by me". I kind of think I'd get slapped around the face if I went up someone and said that, but hey I'm not 50 Cent. Lucky guy.

Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Half Way

2009-10-27T08:02:00.003Z

I really LOVE the latest single from Black Eyed Peas. Brings a lump to my throat. Say what you like, but they are a very talented group.

I Got Soul - Young Soul Rebels

2009-10-24T16:59:00.001+01:00

What can I say? Some of my favourite artists all together on one record for charity!! Great stuff. Check out Pixie Lott. N-Dubz, Tinchy Stryder, Ironik, Chipmunk etc etc!!

Jay Sean/Lil Wayne - Down

2009-10-20T09:13:00.005+01:00

I love it when my partner comes into my room and says "Can I borrow your Ne-Yo and Akon cd's please" or "have you got Oops A Daisy or Down by Jay Sean?"

Ha ha, I've turned my partner hip hop! Here in the UK we don't really have many R&B artists, but Jay Sean is by far our best. The whole family love this song "Down" and it's going up the charts. All the videos are disabled so you'll have to make do with the still from the video too. It features Lil Wayne too.

Fight For This Love - Cheryl Cole

2009-10-18T21:45:00.011+01:00

Cheryl Cole - Fight for This Love (Official Video) HQ

I hate the video, but love the song. Cheryl Cole, went straight to number one in the UK with this today, and I remember the first time I heard thinking that it was going to be massive! I would have preferred a much less girly video than this, but hey, she is one of "Girls Aloud" so I should hardly have expected G.I Jane really. Damn. Still, it's a good song.

Dizzee Rascal - Holiday

2009-10-17T12:14:00.004+01:00

This was definitely the biggest dance track of the summer in the UK and I'm still playing it at discos. I LOVE Dizzee. He is so big here in the UK at the moment, but he's been around for ages now.

I have to admit I love the video too, and smile at the bit towards the end where the song speeds up and he goes a bit wacky and sticks his tongue out. And I know this will sound a bit sexist but I smile when he follows the young woman into the car and gives that face! Oh come on don't tell me you haven't looked at someone and thought just the same too! :D

Alphabeat - The Spell

2009-10-15T09:36:00.007+01:00

I just love this song. Just a great piece of pop from the Danish band Alphabeat. How cute is the lead singer too with her little sticky out ears! She looks like a little pixie or something.

They all look so old fashioned, cheesy and cute. Not sure if that's the intention, but it kind of makes a nice change. This song is getting loads of airplay on the radio here at the moment.

Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz

2009-10-13T10:08:00.006+01:00

Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart

A recent number one here in the UK.

Yes you did break my heart and I hope you are satisfied, but I'm not ashamed of being able to love.

Fame 2009

2009-10-10T21:49:00.002+01:00

I loved the 1980 tv series Fame. Who couldn't love Leroy?

Anyway, I really like this new version of Fame too! I've read mixed views about the film itself. I've decided to play the original version at my disco tomorrow. :)

I need you - N-Dubz

2009-09-30T09:01:00.003+01:00

The new single from N-Dubz which of course I love, but, are they beginning to lose their ordinary street cred image? Their appeal was they were just like any other young people around, but now they look more and more like showbiz celebs! I don't even recognize the girl in it.

Still I do love this song and N-Dubz.

Chocolate In the Box - Bros

2009-09-28T15:15:00.001+01:00

Back in 1989 I so wanted to look like Matt Goss, or Luke! There's still a bit of Bros in me!

Mariah makes a good boy

2009-09-28T10:27:00.001+01:00

Forget all the pouting, and make up, and tight fitting dresses. Mariah Carey makes a cute boy!

The Impossible Dream - for my partner

2009-09-16T23:09:00.003+01:00

This is for you. Whatever the future holds I'll always be so proud of you. I know this is one of your favourite songs by Luther Vandross. I remember when he sung it in concert and we spent the whole journey home in the car playing it at full volume.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Reach the unreachable star!

Talking of romance

2009-09-11T18:18:00.001+01:00

If you don't like mushy romance then don't watch this.

LL Cool J - Luv U Better

Chipmunk - Oopsy Daisy

2009-09-05T13:57:00.002+01:00

This is going to be such a big song in the UK. Trust me on this. I love it. I like the shot of him asleep on her lap. Isn't that just the best place to be? Asleep on someones lap while they mess with your hair and stuff? Oh come on a bit of romance never did any harm did it??

Remember Me - TI featuring Mary J Blige

2009-08-31T20:26:00.002+01:00

I just LOVE this song! Now this is what good rap is all about. TI proves you don't have to be a big man to be big. Mary J Blige sounds as good as ever. The woman has class. This is my kind of music.

Million Dollar Bill - Whitney Houston

2009-08-24T09:16:00.003+01:00

This is a fan made video for Whitney Houston's new single "Million Dollar Bill". I've read some really good reviews of this song, and I really like it myself. Her voice sounds stronger than ever, maybe a bit more edgy even. People have been saying that she still knows how to pump out a great pop tune, and she does. This is a great piece of pop music.

For some reason though it really makes me miss Luther Vandross. I know they were friends, but I can so hear him singing this song too, or dueting with her. I think he'd like the song too. Hope you do too.

The Partridge Family - On My Way Back Home

2009-08-22T14:25:00.003+01:00

One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite singers. Ever. No one sung about love as well as David Cassidy and the Partridge Family.

Music to get jiggy with

2009-08-21T21:07:00.003+01:00

I asked my partner today about the song that is perfect for, you know, making love to. They said this one by Janet Jackson "That's The Way Love Goes". Remember it? What a classic. So let's see if it works for you. :D

Celebration - Madonna's new single!

2009-08-19T08:31:00.002+01:00

I've been trying to find a copy of Madonna's new video but I can't so you'll have to make do with this which is cool anyway. Madonna has a new Greatest Hits cd out soon and Celebration is the new single from it. I really like it. It has a real 80's feel to it and old skool Madonna feel. Apparently her daughter appears on the video too.
