12 Sep 2005 - Dannii on Kylie

?? ??
Dannii Minogue ?? Kylie Minogue
Dannii Minogue has confessed her sister Kylie is still some way from a full recovery from breast cancer but is already talking about getting back to live performing.

Dannii, who is due to fly to Paris in the coming days to look after Kylie, has also once again praised her sister's spirit during her battle against the illness. Kylie's boyfriend, actor Olivier Martinez, is currently in Romania filming his new movie, "Blood And Chocolate" , prompting Dannii to fly out to France.

Before leaving she explained: "Kylie has been taking a lot of her strength from her fans' support. To be honest she is bowled over by the love she has been getting from her friends and her fans. I don't know how she got to be such a strong person but she's a real fighter. She is already talking about getting back on stage. Kylie's not better yet - but she will be. I see her all the time and I'm going to Paris in the next few days to be with her while her boyfriend Olivier is away filming."

12 Sep 2005 - Out Of The Darkness...

The comeback single from The Darkness is to be called "One Way Ticket", it has emerged. The track, which will precede the band's long-awaited follow-up to their globe-straddling debut album "Permission To Land", is due for release on November 14.
Two weeks later, the band's second album, which is currently untitled, is due to be released.

"One Way Ticket" will be the first piece of music to be released by The Darkness since the acrimonious departure of founding member and bass player Frankie Poullain. Poullain left the band in May, with The Darkness citing "musical differences". Poullain has since been replaced by the group's former guitar tech Richie Edwards.

Pussycat Dolls
????
Don't Cha

It was an old roommate of actress Christina Applegate who first formed the Pussycat Dolls dance troupe, their old fashioned burlesque routines quickly becoming a cult attraction in Los Angeles clubs such as the Viper Room and the Roxy. Part of their appeal was the fact that on any given night a "name" celebrity might join them onstage to perform and this led to them having extensive contact with the music industry (the girls ending up with a starring role in Pink's 'Trouble' video. With such a powerful brand name behind them and with the appropriate connections it was perhaps inevitable than an enterprising producer would hit on the idea of turning them into a full blown musical act - and the result has been an instant smash hit album in the US and this week a massive Number One hit single in the UK.

First of all it is worth commenting on just what a departure from the norm they represent.

Time and again US A&R men have shown themselves to be devoid of imagination, resulting in every US girl group for a generation to be rigidly based on the formula pioneered by the Supremes back in the 1960s. Everyone, from En Vogue through Jade, TLC and Destiny's Child has stuck to the format (and all with success of course). From the moment you see them you know the Pussycat Dolls are different and at the risk of making them sound a different kind of throwback, they have "new Spice Girls" written all over them, each girl being defined with her own personality and own sense of style, all fitting into the group structure overall.

So with the image out of the way, what about the music. Well the truth is that at the moment there is just one thing that will sell in America and that is an R&B/Rap hybrid. Hence I personally have to confess to feeling incredibly disappointed when first hearing 'Don't Cha' after reading so much about how it had taken America by storm. Don't go expecting a chirpy pop song, this is just about as R&B cool as it is possible to get. It ain't a bad record by any stretch of the imagination but as much as their image pushes the boundaries the music of the Pussycat Dolls treads little in the way of new ground. Still enough negatives, there are plenty of positives here. Amazingly the Pussycat Dolls are the first US group to top the British charts since the Black Eyed Peas way back in 2003 and the first American all-girl act to do so since the all-star combo of Christina, Mya, Pink and Lil' Kim hit the top with 'Lady Marmalade' in 2001 - their retro stockings and suspenders cavortings of course not a million miles from the image of the Pussycat Dolls in the present day. For the second week running as well the Number One single features a guest starring role for a male artist who had in the past never quite ascended to the top. Step forward Busta Rhymes whose star turn on the record gives him his biggest hit ever, one place higher than 1999s 'Turn It Up/Fire it Up'.
