Victoria Has Got A Mind of Her Own

Victoria Beckham, also better known as Posh Spice or wife of David Beckham, is now out with the follow-up single to last year’s Top 10 hit ‘Not Such An Innocent Girl’.

Entitled ‘A Mind Of Its Own’, it is a pretty romantic number penned by Vic herself for her equally famous husband. Excerpts from the song are as follows: My heart’s got a mind of it’s own/ won’t listen to a word I say/ doesn’t it know that I get hurt too/ When it acts that way.

There is even a French version of this latest Victoria’s offering and when asked recently in an interview why do a recording in French and not Spanish since it’s all the rage, she replied “Because the French record company were interested in me doing it and France is obviously a very big market for me.”

Hopefully this time around, Victoria may do better with this new track of hers than she did previously with her ‘Not Such An Innocent Girl’. Although ‘A Mind Of Its Own’ may not exactly give her the No.1 spot she would like to have, it may do slightly better than her first offering which merely reached a disappointing No.7 spot and slipped off the charts as fast as possible.

Personally, if I could judge and rank this Posh Spice number that will definitely grow on you if you were to listen to it over and over again, I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5. All I can say is a very good effort Vic and keep it up!

Kylie Breaks Billboard!

Kylie has finally broken into the US Top 20 Billboard chart for the first time since 1989.

Her single “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” has stormed up to number 20, despite only being available in the US on a 12″ Single. Why it hasn’t been released as a proper CD single, we don’t know! The single has been on the Billboard chart for 4 weeks, and last week saw her appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Her album “Fever’ is due in stores on February 26th.

Johnny Shentall, 23 and from Doncaster, beat over 3000 applicants to join the 4 other HearSay pop stars in future recordings and their much-anticpated UK Arena tour later this year.

Johnny is also the boyfriend of Lisa Scott-Lee (Steps!). We look forward to seeing Johnny perform – well done!

Hearsay Replacement Announced Tuesday!

Nearly 3000 hopeful applicants made their way to Brixton, South London, on Sunday to try out for the Hear’Say auditions.

The band are looking for a fifth member since Kym Marsh quit the band last month. After the first round which was based purely on personaility and looks, the budding popsters were given the chance to show off their vocal talents with a 40-second burst of song.

By Monday, the band had chosen 12 finalists – and a decision is expected Tuesday as to who Kym’s replacement will be!

Enrique Iglesias stays on top

Enrique Iglesias has managed to hang on to the top spot of this week’s UK Singles Chart. His ballad “Hero” is the first single to be taken from his album “Escape”.

The follow-up single will be Escape which is accompanied by a fantastic pop video featuring Enrique with tennis star Anna Kornokova. Escape is more up-tempo track and should easily go Top 10 when it’s released.

Pink, with her track “Get The Party Started”, remains in number two spot this week, followed by A1 with “Caught In The Middle.
