 Go Kylie!

One of the biggest pop stars in the international music scene comes to Greece for a unique concert in Terra Vibe Park. On the occasion of this impressive show, MAD TV prepared a unique dedication that contains all the information from the Kylie X Tour, reports from her last appearances and from her business projects as we saw them in the "Sooo Noow," and many photos as well. Enter into Kylie’s world by clicking onto www.mad.tv

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:

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.
