Official Site : http://www.sttriniansmovie.co.uk/
Ladies & Gentlemen : Silvia Night !
Well its hard to sum this fabulous girl up but Il try. . . shes a media sensation from Iceland but is actually a fictional charactar [think Icelands awnser to Borat but shes talented]. . .she has a highly rated television show,an amazing fashionista media image,was boted Iceland's sexiest woman [the girl who plays her was no.3!],represented Iceland in the 2006 Eurovision and made controversy by acting up to her bitchy attitude which the other countires did not know was an act!But shes also a talented singer and racked up hit singles and a new no.1 album which is such a great listen,its addictive after the first few listens [Danger Love,Material Girl,Right Now]. .the album is called Goldmine and is available online.Im sure a new album will appear soon as shes huge over there [people also copy her style and catchphrases and if you look her up on youtube you will get an idea of how crazy she is - but its fabulous!!]
America's Next Top Model
Okay I know were only on Season 8 over here in Ireland and the UK but its still exciting and theres only 4 bitches {I mean models] left!It should be good tonight although the only one left that I like is Jaslene,the others are nice but a bit boring and personally I think my favourite top models Amanda,Michelle and Lisa should all just appear out of no where and bitch slap Tyra for giving them the boot coz she knew there were gonna be big stars!I still love u Tyra!!
X Factor Final
Well in a shocking twist Nikki was voted out on Saturday,really whos going to buy Rhydians album?Hes talented but Id much rather watch him in a muscial,not listen to him on cd.My vote is going to go to Same Difference,they really are the best out of the three.But to be honset,Im really much more intrested in why Dannii's new single,'Touch Me Like That',slipped in at no.48 in the UK Charts!!Did anyone know it was released?
t.A.T.u. White Robe
Well its finally here and the wait was well worth it. . . in there most controversial video yet the girls are set to storm the charts with the 1st single 'White Robe',taken from their 3rd English and 3rd Russian album,'Waste Management'.The English video is set to appear soon,as is an uncensored clip [!].Although the management are still deciding on when to release the album,it looks like it will appear early next year instead of Christmas,but instead we will get a second single and a maxi cd of White Robe which will have the uncensored clip as a bonus!Check out the links below!

Girls Aloud : Tangled Up
Well its almost been a week now since Tangled Up was unleashed on the public and I thought Id wait to comment on it. . .the album is in a word amazing!To me,the first half of the album is more dancey,its filled with synths,europop beats and storming vocals. . I find it hard to pick a favourite,new single,'Call The Shots' gets better with each listen,'Close To Love' and 'Girl Overboard' need to be singles pronto and will storm the clubs. .the other half of the album is more mid-tempo and alternative and although not as obviously amazing at first listen,they really do grow on you.'Fling' is such a great track to bop around to and 'What You Crying For' has an amzing middle 8 by none other than Nicola!'Crocidile Tears',to me is very Russian sounding,great grower!Overall,this is the pop album of the year!Skip the Leona Lewis hype and get down and buy this,now!

Ninja : Hush Hush
I recently discovered the Finnish singer 'Ninja' after a fellow blogger recommended her and I have since been amazed with her songs.Ninja is a Finnish supermodel and her first single 'Fashion' shot to No.1 in her homeland with her 2nd single 'Hush Hush' also doing well.Her album 'I Dont Play Guitar' is available online now and will soon be released through Scandanavia with her 3rd and 4th single also being released.
Hush Hush : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sip2y8SERBM
The Veronicas : Hook Me Up
The Veronicas return with their 2nd album 'Hook Me Up' which is is a step up from their previous effort. . The album has more of an electro presence but still maintains their rock sound. . . The first single 'Hook Me Up' is doing well in the Australian charts with the album to follow.You can see the video here :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubxZXEc6pZw
Its Britney Bitch
Well its finally here and its her best effort yet.There was some real gems on 'Britney [The Last Goodbye]' and 'In The Zone [Breathe On Me]' but this is full of them.The album opens with the new single eveyones talking about,'Gimme More' and fades into the powerful 'Piece Of Me' in which Britney gracefully lashes back at everyones behaviour towards her.Standout tracks include the epic 'Heaven On Earth' which showcase her vocals shimmering over pumping beats and easy electronica,'Radar' and 'Ooh Ooh Baby' sound much better than the demos and new tracks 'Get Naked' and 'Toy Soldier' sound like what pop should sound like in the next year.The album is smart,sassy and clever,its where pop is headed and shows that Britney is finally back.Get It Now!
