Rant Like There's No Tomorrow

Hello EQ's - Here are some rants I've been saving for you this week. Try to contain yourselves. LOL.

• The new Paula Abdul song 'Dance Like There's No Tomorrow' is good. It's not the 'Straight Up' of 2008 as quoted by Randy Jackson, but it's pretty good. I welcome the Paula Abdul comeback with open arms. With Janet Jackson back with a decent song in the way of 'Feedback' it's like high-school all over again, Janet or Paula - which side are you on?

• So Madonna's untitled candy-themed album supposedly has a release date of April 29th now as according to MTV. Madonna had better give us some free Hot Tamales candy with every purchase. I demand it.

• Want to know how to make a good website for your debut album? Ask Nelson Clemente...Damn, his new website is pretty good and entirely handmade!

• Remember James Murray? Well the acoustic crooner has went and changed his name to Murray James and is wondering why you all aren't stalking him on MySpace...so here's his new profile link and you should drop by and say hi and make sure you check out some of his new stuff...

• We were at Harvey Nicks yesterday getting our hair did and saw a familar-looking guy working one of the makeup counters and thought to ourselves, hey where do we know that guy? About an hour later, we exclaimed - 'oh my god, that was V.I.K.T.O.R - our next superstar!' At least we know he gets a decent discount on his makeup!

• Popshow has unveiled it's list of acts for their Feb 15th Valentines show. On the bill, EQ faves The Ultrasonics and the Electric Dolls. Madison may even make a guest appearance. However we are curious to finally get to see Q-Boy. Will the openly gay british rapper surprise us or create a reason for us to escape to the bar? Bring it Q-Boy. We were supposed to be in San Franscisco that week but our plans got screwed so expect normal Popshow coverage as per usual!

• So the new David Jordan song isn't that bad. However we saw him perform when he opened for the defunked Unklejam and thought he wasn't that great. A certain record company just happen to be sinking a ton of money into his career and well, we'll sit back and see how he develops before we make any final judgements. He's certainly a lot better than let's say, Craig David's horrible new song...aarrgh!

• I am totally STILL IN LOVE with Naommon's 'Allnighter' album, I can't get enough of it. Naommon sent me an email saying he liked what I wrote about him on EQ which made me smile. I urge you all to go out and buy his album now...you'll be humming his quirky and infectious electronic pop tunes just like I am. He very well could be a new member of the EQ Royale...

• And finally we leave you with this...Don't let Big Brother 7 Winner Pete Bennett alone with his webcam, he'll get stoopid and start doing dodgy Bon Jovi covers...yikes...Obviously he has too much time on his hands - girlfriend also put out a video to his song 'Cosmonaut' but you can do a search on Youtube for yourselves if you're interested...

PS : NKOTB and Alcazar are back peeps!

watched the 'Alway's' vid - thought Pete's voice sounded really good - and he was obviously just messing about - a bit of fun. If this is what he can do just 'playing' - then maybe he really has something to offer.

You prompted me to find the 'Cosmonaut' vid - and again, was very pleasantly suprised! It was a bit 'low budget' as music vids go - but expect that's because he doesn't have record company cash to flash. Good song tho' - a bit different, rocky/punky/quirky - kinda suits Pet down to the ground. Good luck to him.
Not sure what your reference to his girlfriend is about - she doesn't appear to have had anything to do with the vid - there's an 'out-takes' one on there - and the director is clearly a bloke...

Hey Miranda - I actually really like Pete. I thought his webcam video was really funny, thus it was posted! My girlfriend reference is to Pete himself. I have a bad habit of calling everyone girlfriend! I've been quite interested to see what Pete does as he's been working with some great songwriters and producers apparently, but we haven't really seen much as of yet. He definitely has potential to be brilliant. And I'm a huge fan of his funny antics and face-pulling ;)

I really like Pete, he's got a nice singing voice actually. If he wants to mess around with his web cam then I dont see the problem tbh, pleanty of people do it, it's obviously for the benefit of his fan base, to give them a laugh.

Even though this video is meant to be a p*ss take, Pete does a pretty good job at singing that song, I think Pete's got a great voice, the song that he sang there for a joke proves that he has got what it takes to be a professional singer.
Cosmonaut is a great song too,full of energy and seems all very positive and fun to me, just the way Pete always is.
I wish Pete all the best with the soon to be released song "Cosmonaut",I've already pre ordered my copy by texting Pete to 82822!

It's been a long time since I last listen to the charts cus it's all been rubbish, it's about time the charts had a face lift and had music in there that was worth listening to.

Oooh DAMN I wish I could be attending that popshow! What great acts! lol. & I adore Q-Boy, perhaps not his music- but the guy himself is a right sweety! So applaud heavily ;)

xXx

I like the new Janet Jackson song, and I really really like the video! my favourite album remains The Velvet Rope, though, I adore all the songs in that album, and I love Janet's beautiful curly hair. Now I'm off to youtube Paula Abdul's new song :)
