Timoteij - New Swedish Pop Phenomenon

Being a fan of overseas pop music, there's no doubt I would stumble upon Sweden's latest pop phenomenon, Timoteij. They consist of 4 pretty talented girls. Yes, they can all sing and play instruments if you care enough to youtube their acoustic sets. Their album, Längtan, is just as good as their image. Some of my favorites are Feber (which is like Kom part 2) and the title track... I'm a sucker for beautiful ballads and this IS. They do remind me a mix of the Corrs and B*Witched. Instrumental sounding but with a catchy pop sound. If they translated their songs in english, there could be a swedish pop comeback around the world. Check out their amazing performance of "Kom."

Jill Jackson "Grasshopper" Music Video.

Formally known as the front woman of Speedway, Jill Jackson releases her new music video "Grasshopper" today. Taken from her first self-titled solo album, Jackson captivates listeners with her pure soulful voice and personal lyrics. I remember seeing her live show last year; just heart warming and blissful.

Darin "You're Out Of My Life"

Check out Darin's entry for Melodifestivalen. I quite like this ballad. It's very late 80's, early 90's sounding. Such a big epic song, probably too hard for Darin? I'm sure Delta Goodrem would kill it if she covered the song. Anyways his look works for this song. Darin made it to the finals too. I hope he wins! He needs to come to America!

Cheryl Cole going back to Tweedy.

So Cheryl is getting a divorce from Ashley Cole. I hope she's alright.

Cheryl Splitting from Ashley.

I wasn't surprised.

Cheryl mean to her fans?

I've been reading a lot of blogs about how Cheryl has been mean to her fans. Totally not cool. She doesn't deserve her success then.

How I wish I was in Europe...

because Cheryl Cole is promoting there now. My best friend lives in Amsterdam and Cheryl did a radio interview there today. She was also in Vienna, Austria, which is where my cousins live. Ugh. Well... I know I'm officially over not meeting Nadine Coyle because I couldn't care less about her in my dream last night. It's time for what I want to do with my life, rather than following others.

Darin Zanyar

Okay here's my new favorite musician: Darin Zanyar. He is the runner up from Idol Sweden. I think it was the first season. Anyways I fell in love his music when I heard "What If." The song is basically about my life growing up.

He also covered Coldplay's "Viva La Vida."

There's something very sweet about his voice too. Check him out! I'd love to meet him one day!

Girls Can't Catch - Echo

"Echo" by Girls Can't Catch is out now!

Totally loving it!

Cheryl Cole Obsessed!

I'm totally gaga with Cheryl Cole at the moment. "Fight For This Love" is nominated for Best British Single. She's performing solo at the Brits 2010. Her new single "Parachute" finished filming yesterday. Derek Hough is featured in the music video and the song is written by Ingrid Michaelson and Marshall Altman. It is rumored that she's working with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder for her second solo album. She's coming over to the US with this album too! Too bad there's a rumor that she's not doing US X-Factor. Totally obsessed but excited!
