September Would Be Wild! M.I.A. Melodifestivalen Campaign!

After the Darin for Meldoifestivalen news, as blogged about here, I started to think who would be ideal for Melodifestivalen/Eurovision 2010!
It didn't take long for me to realise the obvious best choice for Sweden would be to pick the Dance/Pop Princess September!
As reported over at one of my favourite blogs, the legendary ScandiPop, September is currently in the studio working on her next domination of the international club dancefloor scene!

2008 was the year September took it global, raking up UK Top 5, Numerous Top 10's, and a US Dance chart Number 1 with the spectacular 'Cry For You'!

This catchy, danceable tune with substance is the definition of Septembers work. Her lyrics are not the usual throw away types you get in most dance songs. They tell stories and another level to her songs, which would be perfect for what rightly is the Eurovision SONG Contest!
The only Melodifestivalen connection I can find is her performance at the Lilla Meldofestivalen to promote 'Can't Get Over'. Not as strong a connection as Darin's has, but shows at least she is a supporter of the Meldoi formate!


Overall if she is busy making and album, she will have to promote it when its out. So one extra song for Sweden's biggest music show is easily done and great promotion.
Also if she made it to Eurovision, even if she fails like fellow Princess of dance/pop Kate Ryan, the success Kate has had after Eurovision is easily far greater than before. So much so she is rumoured to be trying again as discussed on Esctoday! And seeing as 'Je T'adore' is one of my favourite Eurovision tracks ever, I would definitely support a similar song by September! I would even accept a Velvet style The Queen from her!

As part of the Madam Im Adam campaign to get September to Meldoi, I have started this group... so show your support and join at: http://tiny.cc/sept4melodi

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!
