APOCALYPTICA - THE UNFORGIVEN





More a case of classictastic than popplastic.

Having sat through the entire Eurovision Dance Contest the only stand out feature was the music that accompanied one of the Finnish performances. Originally by Metallica, The Unforgiven has been given a very Finnish makeover.

Apocalyptica is a Finnish group consisting of three, (there was a fourth) classically trained cellists and a drummer. Their speciality is heavy metal music on cellos, it could only happen in Finland!

S CLUB 7 - BRING IT ALL BACK!



S CLUB 7 to reunite!

Following in the footsteps of Take That and the Spice Girls former pop group S Club 7 are set to reunite! Apparently Rachel Stevens is said to be envious of the success of Take That since they reformed last year and the Spice Girls, whose forthcoming reunion tour has generated massive media coverage. Speaking at Vodaphone Music Awards, Rachel said, "Pardon the pun...but bring it all back. We're all still in touch."

S Club were Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo (Don't mention Celeb Big Brother or Shilpa Shetty) O'Meara and Hannah Spearritt. They sold over two million albums during their five year career before splitting in 2004.

Here's some of their best bits . . .

We're still playing The Sheilas on continuous repeat but even more exciting Popplastic's top correspondent, Popmaximus (of Lucky Twice fame)recently discovered the "Young Divas" whilst travelling in his ute through the outback!

The Young Divas are an Australian pop group consisting of former Australian Idol contestants with a bit of a thing for 80's pop, they're a kind of Liberty X meets Hazel Dean and Donna Summer. The Young Divas are, Ricki-Lee Coulter, Paulini Curuenavuli, Kate DeAraugo and Emily Williams, Emily was formerly a forklift truck operator in a factory - very Home and Away!

In 2006, the Divas recorded a version of the Donna Summer song This Time I Know It's For Real. The demo proved to be so successful that it was released for airplay in June, 2006 and since then the girls have gone platinum!
