TOOTH TUNES!



Music while you brush!

You've had your regulation 5 fruit and veg for the day, you've also had your recommended litre of water, 30 mins of excircise and omega 3.

Now it's bedtime and you've got to make sure you brush your teeth for 2 minutes, but how do yo know when 2 minutes is up, EASY!

Tooth Tunes is a children's toothbrush released by the Tiger Electronics division of Hasbro. Each brush plays a two-minute song clip from a particular artist to encourage a child to brush their teeth for the dentist-recommended two minutes. A single toothbrush comes with one song.

Once activated, a small CPU in the handle plays the featured song on the chip by transferring vibrations through the bristles, which act as transducers, into the front teeth, through the jawbone, and into the inner ear. The user hears a mix between a natural vocal hum and the song being played.

Andrew Filo, one of the toothbrush's inventors, said that he worked on the project because of his childhood fascination with his ability to hear himself humming.

Featured artists include:

Aly & AJ - "Walking on Sunshine"
The Beach Boys - "Fun, Fun, Fun"
Black Eyed Peas - "Let's Get It Started"
Destiny's Child - "Survivor"
Hannah Montana - "The Best of Both Worlds"
Hannah Montana - "Pumpin' Up the Party"
High School Musical Cast - "We're All in this Together"
Hilary Duff - "Wake Up"
Kelly Clarkson - "Walk Away"
Smash Mouth - "All Star"
Queen - "We Will Rock You"
The Village People - "YMCA"

GIRLS ALOUD "CAN" SPEAK FRENCH!!!



Oh la la, turns out Girls Aloud can speak french after all . . .

The new single from Girls Aloud, Can't Speak French, is out on March 17. To prove that the title is in fact a heinous lie, the girls have recorded a version in French, which is due for release as one of the B-sides.



Très Bien . . .

BRITNEY SPEARS - BREAK THE ICE!


Britney's fix!

It's always a bit tricky making a video for your new single when you're locked up!

As Britney has been otherwise engaged her new video comes in animated form.

Popplastic are well impressed with Break the Ice, it's got a hint of classic Britney about it, apart from the fact she's not in the video . . .

Watch it . . .

MELODIFESTIVALEN - ANDRA CHANSEN!



Popplastic are tonight in a state of pop shock.

The officially endorsed Popplastic Melodifestival Andra Chansen entrant failed to proceed direkt til Globen . . .

We were convinced Thérèse Andersson was headed for Belgrade with her stunning operatic hit When You Need Me . . .

Thérèse Andersson - When You Need Me




The
Melodimen give a comprehensive account of the Andra Chansen contest.

Much to our dismay in place of our choice, Sibel and Nordman made it to the final.

Everyone deserves an andra chansen . . .

REVELATIONS - THE INTERVIEW!



Following the calamitous events of Saturday night and the sham that was Eurovision, Your Decision (but who's decision was it), Popplastic were lucky enough to catch up with The Revelations!!!

Here's what happened when Popplastic got chatting with The Revelations . . .

PP: Welcome to Popplastic Towers!

R: Hello! Hello! Hello!

PP: Can we start by saying how thoroughly disappointed we were that you didn't get through on Saturday night.

R: Ahhh, Thank-you.

PP: How do you feel after the event?

R: Amazing, we felt we did really well, we were the only act who had never performed on live TV before, and the only act with no help from backing singers or dancers. It was so nice when the crowd cheered through-out our performance and of course at the end of the song.

PP: Absolutely, it really went down well and got a great reception!

PP: We know a lot of the fans weren't pleased about the new format and feel that it was a bit of a fix (the way that Terry chose one of the songs as a wild card, a song that nobody believes he would have actually picked himself without some kind of editorial interference). What did you think of the shows format?

R: It's all about Entertainment isn't it! It's really hard for the acts, although we were extremely happy to get through the first round, we felt bad for LoveShy when we got both votes from the judges.

PP: Do you think it would have been fairer to just let all six entrants go to the public vote?

R: Fairer yes, but it wouldn't be so entertaining for the viewers.

PP: How was it as an experience?

R: Amazing. It all seems quite unreal. Its so nice to be so appreciated by the crowd, and we've had so many lovely messages since the event.

PP: What was the atmosphere like backstage? Was it handbags at dawn, dish the dirt, any revelations!!!

R: There was a bit of tension although on the surface everybody was friendly. It was great to meet Terry Wogan, who we thanked for playing our singles and he said it was a pleasure! John Barrowman apologized to us for his nasty comment, but we forgave him as he still put us through!

PP: How did you get involved in the Eurovision Project?

R: The BBC asked us to do it after hearing our single 'If I called You On The Telephone' they thought we had the right sound for the Eurovision.

PP: What was your favourite? (apart from your own!)

R: Andy's our personal favourite, its got a great feel, although we don't know how well it'll go down in the contest.

PP: Yours is a great song, and it's getting a lot of online attention, do you have any plans to release the track?

R: Definately! Keep an eye on our myspace page for updates!

PP: What other plans are in the pipeline for the Revelations?

R: We are making plans for the future now. Hopefully we'll be doing lots of gigging!

PP: Thanks girls, we loved the song and we're gutted it didn't make it through!

R: Thank-you very much.

PP: Finally what's your top pop website!

R: Popplastic is a revelation!

PP: Aw, thank you're the best!!!

Here's the girls in action . . .

The Revelations - It's You


The Revelations, what a revelation . . .

DANNY SAUCEDO!

For some reason when it comes to hits on the Popplastic site, images of Danny Saucedo always seem to be in the top three week after week.

I wonder why!!!

With this in mind we have decided to dedicate an entire post to that very subject!

Here's a few snaps from the Popplastic family album!!!


Danny with his new new scarf!



Danny looking for his top!



Danny when he found his pink top!



Danny leaning against a wall!

Danny has also been known to sing the odd song . . .

LATVIA - EUROVISION!



Latvia! Eurovision 2008's Ray of light!

Following the disasterous results of last nights Eurovision, Your Decision it's good to know that else where in Europe things were being done properly.

Whilst the UK's results were being stitched up in London the Latvians were busy chosing a fabulous pirate inspired song.

Pirates Of The Sea - Wolves Of The Sea


Pirates of the Sea's, Wolves of the Sea, features cheeky chappy Roberto Meloni, part of Bonaparti.lv, who represented Latvia last year. (Eurovisionexpress)

Popplastic are officially supporting Latvia for Eurovision 2008!!!!!

Shiver my timbers, Paldies Latvia . . .

EUROVISION - NOT OUR DECISION!



Eurovision, Your Decision, not very likely!

OMG! It's a euro-outrage!

The BBC's new format for the UK's national final resulted in the selection of quite possibly the worst song in UK Eurovsion history. It has all the magic and sparkle of a soggy digestive biscuit and makes watching paint dry look like something Amy Winehouse might think was a bit controversial.

It's so bad we refuse to even include a clip of the track!!!

Popplastic's taking a stand, we wont be supporting it, we wont be buying it and in fact Popplastic's going to be an Andy Abraham Even If free zone!

To make matters even worse there were a few songs that were quite reasonable and that we got quite excited about . . .

We loved the Revelations . . .

The Revelations - It's You


LoveShy's Mr Gorgeous was quite good in a Girls Aloud kind of a way . . .

LoveShy - Mr Gorgeous


An we loved Simona Armstrong's Changes, which was our stand out performance of the night . . .

Simone Armstrong - Changes


We even liked the grass skirts and all the wooing and shimmying in Michell Gayle's Woo (U Got Me) . . .

Michelle Gayle - Woo (U Got Me)


It's a Euro stitch-up . . .
