Boy Krazy - That's What Love can Do

Their signature Pop song That's What Love Can Do, created by British music mega producers Stock Aitken Waterman and recorded in 1991, bubbled under for two years before getting significant airplay. Boy Krazy featured female singers Kimberly Blake, Josselyne Jones (Josselyne Herman-Saccio), Johnna Lee Cummings, and Ruth Ann Roberts (a former Miss Junior America). A fifth member named Renee Veneziale left shortly after "That's What Love Can Do" was first released, in 1991.

‘X’

Kylie Minogue (EMI)

Grade: A

It’s puzzling how Kylie Minogue’s iconic stature in Europe and her native Australia hasn’t translated into much in the way of U.S. success.

And the mystery deepens if her new “X” doesn’t catch on in America, because a good chunk of the release sounds like a facsimile of the best recent music from Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears and numerous others active on U.S. charts. ...

Pete Waterman: I don't watch 'The X Factor'

This isn't a news but I liked to post it here, because I like this article.


Pete Waterman – who was dubbed Slaughterman for his frank verdicts on 'Pop Idol' – tells Neil Tweedie he is appalled by the excesses of today's TV talent shows

Unlike a good proportion of the British population, Pete Waterman doesn't watch The X Factor, the hit ITV show in which thousands of people, talented and talentless, hopeful and hopeless, vie for the chance of fame, fortune and a recording contract.

Harmony rules: Pete Waterman has patched things up with former colleagues

But he can guess what it's like, having been a judge on the show's precursor, Pop Idol.

"I've never seen it, but the public watch The X Factor in big numbers," he acknowledges, sitting back in his recording studio on the South Bank in London. "A young lad who works for me watches it, though. He calls it 'car-crash television'.

"He loves car-crash television. The bigger the crash, the better. The truth is that when you get a big crash on a motorway people slow down to have a look. People see the sight of blood and they love it. The contestants are the modern-day equivalent of the Christians being thrown to the lions." ... ... ...
