steppenwolf Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) We already have a thread on Alternative Music Fans,and another one on Songs That Stir My Emotion.So I thought I could start another one that fits neither,and give ourselves the space to share and discuss about. First up, the current UK #1 single,a finalist in last year's UK X-Factor, njoi!Hate it or love it, have your say here!

derryfawne Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 So this is basically about British pop music in general?Or is it Britpop as a genre marketed in the 1990s with key names like Blur, Oasis, Elastica, Pulp, Supergrass, and Suede; with recent reincarnations of bands like Coldplay and Travis? “Do not take life too seriously.

Anyway, my favorite from her is this: Also, there's pure pop vocalist Will Young, winner of the original Idol franchise. He's cute and gay too, by the way, lol.

Guest jayy Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I like Cheryl Cole too. I mean her songs aren't the greatest thing since sliced bread but there's just something about her...I knew nothing about this Cher Lloyd girl ( I don't follow the x factor much) but Stay happens to be one of my favourite songs and man, that was an amazing rendition!

derryfawne Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 British popular music is recently known for their invasion of blue-eyed soul crooners like Amy Winehouse (RIP), Adele, and Duffy.What people tends to overlook is Joss Stone, who preceded all these artists by a good few years. She did it really really well, too, but guess her image is more adult contemporary and less appealing to the mass market. Nevertheless, if you're willing to explore, you'll find gems in her catalog: Also, a stunning cover of the White Stripes: “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derryfawne Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Let's explore further down the history.The first and original Queen of Blue Eyed-Soul is, of course, the amazing Dusty Springfield.

steppenwolf Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) The one other notable new entry of the week (in the UK Singles Chart), and indeed other than Cher Lloyd the only single to enter the Top 40 as a totally brand new release is the curiosity that is 'Masterchef Synesthesia' by Swede Mason.The enigmatic 31 year old Londoner is one of a new breed of video mash-up artists, creating a series of popular viral videos by sampling bits of television and mixing them together over a dance beat.Almost out of nowhere his fun collage of quotes and samples from the TV series Masterchef became one of YouTube's biggest hits of the last few months, prompting moves to make the track available for download.So here it is then the tale of the Buttery Biscuit Base in all its two minute glory, the most unlikely chart single of the week and one which suggests its creators career as a plasterer and decorator may be rather shorter lived than he ever imagined.

Guest passerby Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Ouiyoh what's Brit Pop without the Sugababes ah!!! Well at least for me its the previous incarnations with Mutya and Keisha is what defines their unique sound, and their recent roster seems quite lacking. and the current eh Euro pop (not exactly Brit but more UK charts) that's still playing in my head is Robyn's 2nd single from Body Talk... good lyrics...
