This comes as great news from Berlin-based Emika, as we haven’t heard from her since “Drop The Other,” which was a lovely track. Her brand of electro-staccato with dark-overtones is the natural extension of trip hop. We love this and hope to hear mor. 8/10.
We are very excited to see the one and only Ms. Jackson on tour this July 3rd in the Royal Albert Hall. This is just a preview of what will happen. Click below for more.

Second place went to Italy and Sweden finished third.
“I’m the happiest man in the world right now,” Gasimov shouted to the crowd of 36,000 who packed the Fortuna Duesseldorf Arena to watch the show.
He was handed the trophy by Germany’s Lena Meyer-Landruth, who had sought to make history by defending her title for a second consecutive year in a row.”
The Melster (Aka Melanie C, Sporty Spice and the Chisholm) has unleashed a little preview of what she has been working on. The new song is called “Rock Me” and it is allegedly set to be the first single off of her new fifth album, also the first album post-childbirth. Following her award-nominated performances and hugely successful spell in musical theatre, she has returned to the studio to work on her fifth album. While the finishing touches are made, Melanie has recorded an energetic and vibrant track entitled ‘Rock Me’ for one of the summer’s biggest sporting events.
5/10.
Still, the UK won’t win this year. Not strong enough to make it!
We’re glad she is OK! P!nk has always been a sport anyway.
Kylie Minogue took her Aphrodite promo to Germany and performed “All The Lovers” on Heidi Klum’s Germany’s Next Top Model. Germany is Europe’s most lucrative music industry and is important for artists to crack. We look forward to more performances.
It’s only been two decades since the jeers of the Berlin Wall falling occured targetting the reunification of modern-day Germany and causing a domino effect in the Eastern Bloc states from soviet shackles. It seems that 20 years is a lot of time for change. In it, Germany went from a fragmented country to a world power, again. This time more on an economic basis and less on military capabilities. And ever since, Eastern states like Poland and the Czech Republic rid themselves of oppression and misguided communism. At any rate, it’s a good to celebrate. A foundation has opted to write any tweet one precedes with “#fotw” on the wall. Ask for other walls to fall. Like the West Bank Barrier or other borders that limit and steal freedoms from people.
He totally feels responsible for the Berlin Wall coming down, you can see it in his drunk eyes.
To promote their book fair and bring attention to it some people gathered 200 flies and attached banners to them. That’s a way to advertise. Don’t worry about the flies though, the banners were super light and attached with wax that will eventually fall off.
Whitney Houston is actually going full-on with I Look To You. She is embarking on a tour of Europe early 2010. The tour starts in April with an extensive tour in the UK. Then Whitney moves on to Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium. Surely France dates will be added and, maybe, Italy and Spain. But, if it sells out additions are expected, as always. We hope she’s in top form even as most critics are saying that her voice is not the same. Sometimes she speaks instead of singing, don’t you think?
