Music Video: Hayley Warner: Hands Off
30 July, 2010 11:41 PM
The sophomore music video of Australian Idol's biggest performer has been officialy released now! "Hands Off", was released today, July 30 on the iTunes store, though I couldn't find the link. This song is breathtaking, all I can say is WOW. Yes, it's a bit clichéd, all that rocker vibe, but her voice and performance skills are so terrific! Those shouts in between verses are unbelievable, is that Hayley or an amazing rock godess? She could be the biggest revelation of Australian Idol, and maybe the last, as the show is not coming back this year and I don't see very good sings it will on 2011. But wait!! Australia's talented still have a chance on the australian version of the X Factor which is returning this year!!

Catching Up With: Sharon Little: New Album, Paper Doll
5:06 PM
Sharon Little was one glad surprise to me. I was enjoying a CSI NY episode when suddenly one hell of a singer popped up on my screen towards the end of the show. Her talent blew me away and I rushed quickly to my computer to search who was that godess. After a while, the name Sharon Little appeared, and I immediately bought her debut album, "Perfect Time for a Breakdown". Now there are some good news for we fans!!! A sophomore album will be released in early 2011, with two tracks of it released on fall 2010! The album title is "Paper Doll". Citing her site, the album is Sharon’s "manifesto that she be judged on what she offers through her music, and not by the outfits she wears or who she’s been dating". An excellent concept if you ask me. A live version of "Paper Doll" was made available for free on her site. Her vocals are so good on this one! Her voice feels more mature, deeper. Of course, it's perfectly written also!
Listen "Paper Doll" and download it on her site after the JUMP ...

"Cuckoo" is the third upcoming single set for release on August 30 of folk singer Lissie.

The video premiered yesterday on YouTube and features a little Lissie, as well as herself, and they are really similar, the girl looks like her little sister. I wasn't really expecting this video at all, or this song being a single, but now it's here, and I love it! The part were they sing and play guitar together is brilliant, as all Lissie does! They look so cute! Though I don't get it why she was taken by the cops at the end, what had she done?

Catching Up With: Ex Miss Frank, Dropping Member and Name!
3:38 PM
You might be wondering why there are question marks where the name should be, that's because they don't have a name, yet! X Factor 2009 top 10 finalists, then Miss Frank, have now dumped one of their members and scrapped their name. The group are now Graziella, Shar and new member Cherelle, who has taken Shaniece spot. She made it to Bootcamp too back in 2009, where she met the girls. About their name, they are calling fans to select a name for them, a good move! I wonder why Shaniece left, they seemed so good together and they had already been in studio for a while, releasing "Caught Up" some time ago. Saying that, I must admit that I love their new look, it seems a really smooth indie/RnB vibe, similar to VV Brown's one.
You can give ideas for their new name HERE.

She has proved that all the dance songs she's been pulling out were just little steps to this masterpice. She looks like an angel and her vocals are really impressive.

She has filmed two music videos, her own song "Trqbva da znam" (I Have to Know) and as a featured artist with Miro, "Svetut E Moi". "Trqbva da znam" is incredible.

Don't Stop Believing: 1st Live Show Recap! UPDATE: YouTube Videos Posted!
10:17 PM
The 1st Live Show took off today evening and I finally understood it's metod. The 6 groups perform with only two going into the finals. The highest vote getter advances instantly, and the second and third placers sing once again in order to be saved by the judges, to take part in a wildcard show. Both teams advance, being the other four instantly eliminated. They are also doing a DSB group called "The Supergroup". They are currently five singers but five more will be added next week and on and on.
I'm really digging this new show. It has an incredible concept and it was really enjoyable! It's like a breeze of fresh air compared to an old talent show format. This could easily become my favourite show!

The Unconventionals were part of the X Factor in 2006, where they placed 12th. It's a curious thing, a group will never succed in the X Factor, as they are always eliminated in the first or in the second week, with some exceptions of course. The 6 piece group brings us "Push the Button". The song was available for downlod on June 27, 2010 and their album will be released on July 25, which title is "Flower to the People".

"A Happy Place" is the second single of Katie Melua's fourth studio album "The House". The video premiered on July 7 on YouTube and was shot in Berlin by director Mike Batt. I really don't know how I feel about all the elevators and the grey. It's made the video too dark and it desperately needs some light. And then, puff, Katie appears, iluminating all the room. (I just wanted to make a cliche there). But seriously, it's too dark. However, Katie looks beautiful. The Japanese-like costume she's wearing is stunning, with such amazing colors. And her voice sounds really well, very high-pitched, but in a good way.

It will be released on July 18, being the music video released on 2 June 2010. The song and the video are really cool, very Diana Vickers. Quircky, fun, weird, all the things Diana do best. It combines some drawings with real images, a very sexy and hot video overall. I loved the part of the love grave. RIP Love. And both are really adorable.

Catching Up With: James Johnston: First Single, Rollercoaster
9:30 PM
James Johnston was the Australian Idol Season 7 third placer. I really didn't liked him on Idol, he wasn't ready for it, but I think he may have evolved enough to be considered as a singer. He has just released his new single, "Rollercoaster" on March 22, 2010 and a music video for it debuted on YouTube on April 15. The song deals with a couple in which the woman is a "rollercoaster" (crazy bitch). I actually like it, it's a modern rock song with country influences, after all, James is a country boy. I love the echoed singing at 2:07 and then the acoustic transition is just brilliant. I also liked the video a lot, it was really well filmed and edited, very enjoyable.
