Mainly because I really don't want another whine-y, 'big'-voice wannabe like Leona and that would mean that Simon can actually produce an uptempo album without failing miserably. hmmm.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694821607097421310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-50078919939656005742009-04-28T21:49:00.000-04:002009-04-28T21:49:00.000-04:00Mel, let's hope there's something killer on there-...Mel, let's hope there's something killer on there--I'm not too invested in Alexandra's career, but if she makes some amazing music, I'll be behind her for sure. Girls Can't Catch DO have some of that Saturdays-wannabe style to them and, if they don't brush up the production on their songs, they won't be able to surpass that, but if they make songs like "Keep Your Head Up" as good as they could be, the sound is one I love enough to keep listening to from whomever. Dolly Rockers are definitely a group you can't accuse of stealing anyone else's sound, though. That other side is amazing, of course. I do have something to say about Cheryl, but I think I'll go say that over at your blog...<br /><br />Raspberry29, I didn't know he was doing one! I know the new single is by Lucas--is that the one you're talking about or is it another song? If it's the former, I'd have had to leave it out of this post. Any songwriter news is very welcome.<br /><br />XO, don't I wish...but thank you!<br /><br />Aaron, skimming is totally understandable--I tried to format it to make it easier for people to do that since I know not everyone cares about all these people. Ryan Tedder has left me unimpressed quite often, though I'm not 100% positive that's his fault: I think that, like some other big name songwriters, he's such a "name" at this point that people are willing to buy whatever song he's willing to sell them, even if it's of lower quality. A general "yes" for everything else you said.<br /><br />Damian, the world can always use another great popstar.<br /><br />Nikki, I didn't either! I saw it mentioned only in very few places. Not out yet, but apparently later, though who knows--it could all be very "speculative"; I'm not sure if somewhere is ready to release it. It does sound as if Alex is getting taken in a much more contemporary fun direction, which is probably for the best for both her sake (fewer comparisons to the previous X Factor winner) and my personal preferences. I believe you're right about Shaznay!Poster Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797812846936450135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-17363328772443994412009-04-28T20:23:00.000-04:002009-04-28T20:23:00.000-04:00Whoa - that WAS a lot! hahah.

Judging by the producers she's working with, maybe Simon won't make her into another Leona which is good for her and us(do we really need another one?)<br /><br />Oh, and wasn't there another Girls Can't Catch song written by Shaznay or one of the girls from All Saints? I'm so behind on all of this - curse getting the flu.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694821607097421310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-35629500756077475872009-04-28T12:51:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:51:00.000-04:00Glad about Alexandra, this girl is fantastic artis...Glad about Alexandra, this girl is fantastic artist and can have big future.Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521977616578475558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-34426256411143761432009-04-28T02:02:00.000-04:002009-04-28T02:02:00.000-04:00Well, So much Information - I only skimmed name wi...Well, So much Information - I only skimmed name wise - Reading people i'm Interested in. <br /><br />Well, I'm yet to be disappointed by Ryan Tedder yet - Hopefully that continues.<br /><br />I want to hear Ina's songs - A lot.

I love how heavy their accents are -- it allows me to indulge in that other side of me that is clearly British, clearly electro, and clearly a popstar. Haha. <br /><br />Any chance Xenomania will write on that Chery solo album? What are your thoughts on that?Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093680832174768347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-32668925363635202332009-04-27T08:01:00.000-04:002009-04-27T08:01:00.000-04:00Shayne got some theoretically good songwriters for...Shayne got some theoretically good songwriters for his second album and getting a Max Martin song for it cannot have been cheap. Speaking in generalities, too, there's no reason you need to get the biggest American names to get good songs (see the Saturdays, for example, who did well by getting pretty well-known but not Timbaland level of fame writers). I guess where he got hurt money was the budget for promotion or any sort of sustained campaign seemed to be lacking, didn't it? Or maybe I've misremembered it all with the passing of time...could be that he didn't get the songwriters' best work, but even if that is the case, I very much doubt it was deliberate.<br /><br />OK, so now that I've taken your comment and gone off on a bunch of tangents, to return back to what you said: that would be an interesting post! I'm not sure I'd even know where to begin...Poster Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797812846936450135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-51990595623647373202009-04-27T01:59:00.000-04:002009-04-27T01:59:00.000-04:00that's a lot of information to digest in 60 second...that's a lot of information to digest in 60 seconds :) I am thrilled that Xenomania are working with Shayne and Leona. It irritates me somewhat that Alexandra gets hooked up with all those great writers and producers while Shayne sort of got the shaft, but despite my bitterness I shall still give the Alexandra album a fair whirl when it comes out because, well, Leona totally turned me around. I'd like to see a post on whose career you think would be saved by working with particular writers or producers :)Myfizzypophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947668142001550049noreply@blogger.com
