Velvet: Take A Bow, She Is The Queen!

Took me ages to finally get to see the Melodifestivalen performances this week!
I usually download the program online, but some silly person put it up in a strange format so it didn't play, an nobody has uploaded anything else!
So this time I had to download individual performances!

Anyway my highlight this week was the magnificent performance by Dance/Pop supreme Velvet!

How magnificent! It's camp as the very queen she i declaring herself as!
The Disney style background at the beginning should be my wallpaper, and I will wear my Amy Diamond stolen jacket in front of it!
The start is of course very reminiscent of previous Dutch Eurovision entry



However while Linda made her dancers smell her feet by having them so low down, Velvet had a regal staircase and enough living bigger living quarters then I expect most Buckingham Palace staff get!
The fiercest moment in the routine tho is at the 1.03 mark, Ive watched over and over, where she turns! Its sharp and to the beat, so so hot!
The 2.00 mark dance break isn't as kick ass as usual dance breaks, but the charming nature fits with the performance and is highly entertaining. Kinda Steps "Say You'll Be Mine" reminiscent, but with a stronger EuroBeat!
To get back in the dress at the end is certainly amazing, she is in control and looking down on you biatches!
It strongly believe that Queen Elizabeth should perform this on Red Nose Day as the theme is "Do Something Funny"! What would be more funny than her belting this out from the skirt opening and her hundred corgis and staff running out from under?
I'm not surprised this didn't get through, though I'm disappointed! Velvet is a class act and I will investigate her further on the blog!

M.I.A. Legend: Call It Love, If You Want.. I Call Them Deuce!

Ok guys here is the first legend I want to discuss on this blog!

Deuce were (well should I say are because they live on in many hearts?) a boy/girl band from the 90's! As you can see from the photo, their style was subtle :P!
There music is sheer pop, they took on pop in fantastic form, producing song with substance, style and class!

There single 'I Need You' shown above was the first single I ever bought, and there album was my first too! (Lets just hope I get famous so I can answer that if anyone asks!)

As you will soon be aware, I'm a Eurovision addict.. so when they tried to take part to represent UK this would have been a fantastic moment in Eurovision history, but they were bet by worst UK act ever! Wikipedia it because I cant even mention there names!!
Though there videos were classics, their performances were the bomb!

So what happened to them? Truthfully I don't really have a clue! Firstly the lady whos voice sounded like she had balls of steal, Kelly (Looking hot in neon over there) left and was replaced by a clone of her, who mimed to her voice for a bit!
Then they released the snoozefest of 'No Surrender' (Which I've posted in the only bearable version I know!). Being a kid at the time, this failed to be caught on my radar, and it was not until my sisters came home from the Smash Hits Tour and told me Kelly had clone girl instead of her that I knew the end was near!
There album is a must have, don't know where to buy it now, but its worth the hunt! Hit after hit on it, well part from some misses i.e. 'Kiss It', pop masterpieces and ballads, must have album!
I will be first in line for their reunion, that better happen soon! Or maybe I'll just wait and form a tribute band!

Thats Deuce in a nutshell! I'll probably break them down a little more in different posts.. just depends where my head wonders!

Question Of The Day

What does Lyndsey Lohan do for a living now?

We all know Andy Warhol said "In the future everyone will be a publicity seeking lesbian for fifteen minutes"

How right he was!

Shining Like an Amy Diamond

Melodifestivalen was on Sat once again! And the song which has surprisingly been playing on repeat on my PC since is "It's My Life" by Amy Diamond!
I say surprised as it was not the strongest of the night, but seriously I'm addicted!



Firstly there is the crazy crazy Eurovisionly perfect lyrics...
"Tell the Boys that.. It's My Life" that's the line that hooked me! Why tell the boys? Which boys?

"When I Walk The Night": following on from the previous line are we to take that shes talking about being a lady of the night? These boys were to tell are clients? Not really a job for a 16 yrold!

"I Want You With Prevision" not sure if I keep hearing this wrong.. but what the hell does that mean? prevision as in planning in advance? if so then why tell them is she does what she feels like? a song about living your life to the full, with the safety catch on of coarse!

Also the tunes familiarity had been bugging me every time, till it struck me today!



Maybe it's not so obvious to most people, but it is what I was thinkin!



That any better?

What ever confusion has occurred though is swept away by the sheer amazingness of the tune, as well as the fantastic shiny glitter robe she had at the beginning of her performance, which I plan to make one of as it might keep the damn cold out!
