Mania was a British pop duo composed of Niara Scarlett and Giselle Sommerville. The two met while contributing song-writing for the British pop production house Xenomania and formed Mania in 2004. Mania was a joint venture between producer Brian Higgins and BMG. They released only one single, "Looking for a Place". The low chart placing of the lead single meant that the planned album, Do You Know Your Daughter's On The Roof?, was never released. Several of their songs, including "Money In My Pocket" and "I'm Not Shy" were covered by the girl group Frank. All of their songs were produced by Higgins and the Xenomania team.

Thankyou John for sending us the leaked tracks from the album.

Nerina Pallot is one of my favourite pop/acoustic artists, i fell in love with her debut album "Dear Frustrated Superstar" and it still remains one of my favourite albums. Today i thought i would post a single by her for people to try out, but i am also posting it because she recorded a cover of "Confide In Me" famously sung by Kylie Minogue, It's a great version!.

"Sophia" is the second single released from the re-release of Nerina Pallot's second album, Fires. It was released on October 2, 2006. It was nominated to an Ivor Novello Award in the category of Best song (Musically and Lyrically).

While i was away i watched the Eurovision Song Contest as i do every year. I also watched the Semi Finals. Here is my own personal favourites from the shows including 2 songs from the Semi finals that did not qualify. Many of these versions are extended versions of the original song and music which sound amazing and are longer than the 3 minute limit of the ESC Versions. I thought the quality of the song writing this year was the best i have ever heard and it is clear every country worked very hard of their songs (well most of them anyway).

My personal favourite this year was the highly catchy and musically enchanting "Always" by AySel & Arash from Azerbaijan, this was the countries second year in the contest. It was also voted 3rd, with 207 points.

I loved all the songs in my favourites apart from the Russian Entry!, which i am putting in just because the show was this year set in Moscow, However the song is a grower.

My other highlighted faves are Sweden with "La voix" by operatic singer Malena Ernman, It has a very September feel to it with the music and the vocals go very well on the song. Turkey was another excellent song as was the actual winner of the show Alexander Rybak with his Folk/Pop song "Fairytale". Iceland this year has a stunning ballad by Yohanna called "Is it true" (which also did well in the votes) another ballad highlight was "Rändajad" by Urban Symphony.

If you have not heard this years songs, and wouldnt normally listen to Eurovisions if you're not a fan of it's cheesyness then please download and listen to this collection you will be very pleasently surprised as the excellent production and song writing this year.

Hi Everyone,

I'm back from Cornwall. as i mentioned i was going away for 2 reason, one was to find somewhere to live aswell as go to a concert. Which was amazing. i went to see British folk/pop singer Seth Lakeman at the Minack Theatre, which is an open air theatre like the roman coliseum on the edge of the cliff. I am a HUGE Fan of Seth and would very much like to share his music and talk about him more here sometime. While i was away we found a new home which is near to Lands End in Cornwall. which is the most southerly point in the UK. I will post more updates on my move when i get them. I should be moving properly in the second week of June. Untill then i will be updating Luckystar as usual. its good to be back. hope people missed me!
