Go Kylie!
One of the biggest
pop stars in the international music scene comes to |
![]() Peace On Auction:
In 1969, when John
Lennon gave the manuscript of the lyrics from the song
Give Peace A Chance to little Gail
Renard and told her they might be worth something one day, he was right. The
youngster was careful with the handwritten paper and now Christie’s has put
it on auction, hoping to get more than 400.000 pounds. The manuscript with
the lyrics will be displayed from July 5, while the auction will take place
on July 10. A spokesman for Christie’s said interest is intense since it is
one of the Lennon’s most recognizable and influential pieces. |
![]() Hard Candy:
All right, she is
the queen of pop and admittedly, perhaps eons will pass before something
similar comes along in the world of music. While repeating lines like
My Sugar Is Raw, Sticky And Sweet
might be the epitome of sexuality, unfortunately the opening piece of the
disc does not say much more. On the other hand, pop was always a type of
music that by definition cannot take much criticism. Some
ska in
Give It 2 Me, the r΄n΄b of
Heartbeat, the
disco beat of She’ s Not Me
and the Latino vitality of Spanish
Lesson constitute fireworks that dissipate as soon as the record
finishes. Timberlake on the cover
of 4 Minutes can attract the looks
of young girls but Dona Madonna
herself must grasp the possibility that she should focus on her enterprises
and always successful plans and withdraw from discography. |
Invain in Gaelic means the Heart That Aches, but alas the title refers also to the English In Vain (επί ματαίω) with a different meaning altogether. Could the C:real be trying to tell us something indirectly? The first single Ξέχασε Το (Forget It) is already playing on television and radio, but we will take from its lyrics Άκρη Δε Βγάζω which means I can’t figure out anything. The first single does not figure in lyrics or optics. Is there anyone who understands what goes on in the video? And all those extraterrestrials and the manga caricatures do they perhaps refer to a guilty trance past? You can’t call it arty rock. Perhaps a composition on a school band level (though if we judge from Schoolwave perhaps a school band would have done better). Move on and don’t give it a second thought. |
