I'm currently looking for some new writers in order to expand the blog given that I can't post the amount of things I'd like to. So if you are interested in writing about anything related to music (news, TV shows, album reviews, introducing artists) just drop me an email to musicisthedoor@gmail.com and we can discuss some of your ideas.

The Voice Of Ireland: Season 2: Top 24 Perform - Part 1!

 Photobucket
After the Battle Rounds finished last week, each coach was left with six contestants on their team. Tonight, it's crunch time for all four coaches as three acts from each team will be performing for the first time, and, by the end of the night, they will have five acts remaining as one contestant leaves each team. There is a slight format change this year because each coach will award points between 1 and 10 to the acts and these will be then be combined with public votes to come up with a bottom two on each team, with one act being eliminated on each team.

The Voice Of Ireland: Season 2: The Battle Rounds!

Photobucket

And so approaches the Battle Rounds! This stage of the competition resulted in some really poor decisions last year, with Kian the worst offender. However, with Jamelia replacing Brian, Kian on his best behaviour and Sharon having to pit three of her acts against one another for one battle, how will this year's Battle Rounds fare? Will current favourites, such as Roisin Carlin, Alexandra Miller, Ray Scully and Aoife McLoughlin manage to convince their coaches to keep them in the competition?

MDS Sound of 2013

More isn't always better and that's what I learnt from last year's poll. Sure, I managed to post about loads of exciting acts, 64, to be exact, but with time, you probably forgot most of them. I even forgot about them myself. Songstress Lana Del Rey topped the poll, with FOE, Kyla La Grange, Grimes and Lucy Rose placing 2nd to 5th respectively. So this time around, I've decided to feature 30 acts. You may be asking why 30? Just because I couldn't really decide which acts not to include, so I'll let you do that.

In case you are not familiar with the rules, the list features the most promising music acts for the coming year and instead of me being the only pundit, you will be part of the decision by casting your vote on your favourites! Featured acts must not have had an album by November 1st, 2012. There's also a bit of a rule change this year. Acts previously featured who failed to release anything the year they were nominated, can get a nod again. Don't expect the list to be full of repeats though.

So this is how the voting will work. In the next days, I'll post my Top 30 acts, that'd be a post for each act featuring it's music and my comments on them, and you'll be able to vote for them after all the acts are posted!  There will be 2 voting stages. The first stage will feature all the 30 acts. You'll be able to pick 5 acts, so choose wisely. The poll will initially be open for two weeks (I may add a few more days if needed). Then, in the second stage, the Top 15 acts, that's the 15 acts with the most votes will be in a new poll in which the winner will be decided!  ... Who will be the  sound of 2013?!

X Factor Denmark 2013: Top 9 Perform: Håb

Photobucket

We waved goodbye to fan favourites Sarah and Emil last week with Blachman facing the toughest decision since  eliminating Tandberg og Østenby, his own group,  last season. Only 9 remain now, Anne's manufactured groups Wasteland, Anna og Lusanda and Lotus, Ida's Overs, Chresten, Jonas and Stephanie and Thomas' Unders, Karoline, Zaina and Amanda. The theme tonight is "Hope", whatever that could mean. But who'll be hopeless when we dim the lights? ... It's time to face the music!

The Voice Of Ireland: Season 2: The Blind Auditions!

Photobucket

The Voice Of Ireland is back! After a good first series, the spinning chairs are back as are the err... warring coaches, battle rounds and live shows. However, one person who isn't back is Brian Kennedy who allegedly couldn't return due to 'scheduling issues'. Nothing to do with the fact that he was a little bit of a rubbish coach then? On the bright side, UK R&B star Jamelia is stepping into his shoes, providing a bit of eye candy for the guys to balance Bressie who the female viewers are once again probably going to go crazy for. And Kian and Sharon are back too, the former no doubt to provide his own form of um...know it allness (is that a word)? Nah, I reckon Series 2 may trump the pilot season so here's to more talent, more spinning of chairs and more ridiculously overdramatic vocal boxing matches!

Timothée Rossignol left last week after yet another disappointing performance. Tonight, the remaining 6 contestants will sing two songs each, hoping to avoid getting the chop. fun.'s hit "We are Young" and Pink's "Raise Your Glass" were both covered, but were those efforts enough to avoid elimination?
