    Australias Next Top Model

    I think Australia's Next Top Model is my favourite NTM - genuinely beautiful girls, no histronics from Tyra and her minions, believable (and gorgeous) photo shoots, but still with some drama and cattiness from Charlotte Dawson and Alex Perry. But I loved Tahnee from Series 5! I thought she was...

    Katy Perry - Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection

    I absolutely adore this video. As everyone else has said but I feel the need to reiterate, it really is just colourful, fresh, summer fun that suits the song perfectly. And Snoop Dogg is awesome. His army of gummi bears was just all kinds of genius. I know others aren't keen on his contribution...

    The Pipettes - Earth vs. The Pipettes (Album & Singles)

    Hey, that's my interview I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! I didn't actually know which sister (or indeed both) would be answering, so had to keep it to a generic sister question!

    Whatever happened to Chungking?

    Add another voice to the 'Whatever happened to Chungking?' crowd please. I still think Stay Up Forever is a fantastic album - much better than Goldfrapp's latest. Itch & Scratch is SO good.

    Ellie Goulding

    For me, it's the hype that has killed this album. It's an alright, quite pleasant piece of work on its own terms but worthy of all the plaudits and awards? Not to my ears, I'm afraid.

    Ellie Goulding

    I dislike the Starry Eyed artwork intensely - she looks so rabbit in headlights. So far, I've been left cold with the music - it's passable but doesn't grab me, a bit beige. She exudes absolutely no star quality whatsoever in her videos. But I'm still willing to be converted by a killer song!

    RIP Brittany Murphy

    Absolutely shocked and sad at this news. Clueless is one of my all-time favourites and Brittany's so great in it. Keep thinking of her singing Rolling With My Homies. And, like sifr, sporadically. Loved Faster Kill Pussycat too and I was eagerly hoping for an album - dimly remember there was...

    Shakira - She Wolf

    This album has managed to be both absolutely instantly and a grower, if that makes sense. I am officially obsessed with the 'so fresh, so clean' bits on Men In This Town and I love the 'wah wah wah's in Spy and 'eh eh eh's in Did It Again too. As you can see, I'm a fan of Shakira and her many...

    Cheryl Cole - 3 Words

    Re: Cheryl Cole - Three Words (Solo Album - 26th October) 3 Words, Heaven, Boy Like You and Heartbreaker. From the PR sheet: "They co-wrote four songs on the album, one of which is the gob-stoppin’ robo-pop duet ‘3 Words’ which opens the album. A lean R&B duet, it straddles an imaginary...

    The Veronicas - 4Ever (next UK single)

    Sorry if it's already been posted but a link to a quite interesting Times interview with them, where the interviewer detects a tension between the girls: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article6827573.ece

    The Saturdays - Wordshaker

    Re: The Saturdays - Wordshaker (2nd album - October 12th) I'm the one that actually wrote the review... Lose Control is my fave and even though it got the lowest marks on the PJ review, I love 2am in the same way I loved Why Me, Why Now! But I genuinely love the whole album - and this is coming...

    Alphabeat - The Beat Is... (formerly The Spell)

    Re: Alphabeat - The Spell I find it a bit too dated in its sound on initial listens but I start loving it a whole lot more circa Anders middle eight - wish he was in it more!

    General Dolly Rockers Discussion

    I'm finding a world where the Dolly Rockers flopped hard to bear. I honestly thought they would be massive (whereas I never felt that about Girls Can't Catch). I desperately hope they make it to an album... I know a fair few on here seem to think their music is the least attractive thing about...

    Cheryl Cole - 3 Words

    This is so not the debut single I was expecting. I was expecting something to grab you by the balls especially after the ecstatic front-page write-up. Instead, this is bland, midtempo, generic RnB. I imagine it will be a grower but it's so very underwhelming on first (second... third) listen...

    Long music videos or 'mini-movies'

    I know it's not exactly really long, but I adore the video for Gwen Stefani's Cool. It's got such a cinematic quality about it and tells a story, matches the song perfectly, beautiful.

    Did S Club 8 get paid?

    Aaron trained professionally at Laines after S Club. My mate sees him all the time at auditions for musicals.

    Girls Can't Catch

    Sampler includes a cover of Santogold's L.E.S. Artistes if anyone's interested. They've not changed much about it. And I'm definitely feeling the Ryan Tedder comparisons on Echo.

    Mini Viva

    Can someone tell me which girl is which? The dark-haired one reminds me of a slightly Asian looking, Catherine Zeta Jones before she lost the puppy fat. Not sold on her voice I agree with someone earlier who thought it dragged on too long - nearly four minutes?! This kind of track is the sort...

    Mercury Music Prize 2009

    Well, they've not been nominated... I'm surprised that people thought Little Boots would even be nominated in the first place. It's the Mercury Prize - the list always seems to have to be at least half unknowns and after Boots' disappointingly patchy album, La Roux was always gonna be the more...

    Jordin Sparks - Battlefield

    Re: Jordin Sparks - Battlefield [1st Single + Second Studio Album] Really disappointed with this album - I expected great things after Battlefield, but it's far and away the standout track. I think Jordin's really likable as well so I feel it's a bit of a missed opportunity. I can barely...
