Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now

One of my favourite 80's songs is "I Think We're Alone Now" by American teen idol Tiffany. The single was released in 1987 and became a huge hit all over the world. Tiffany's version is so much better than the original from the 60's.

Don't forget to follow Tiffany on Facebook and Twitter.

Desperate Housewives cancelled in 2012

All good things come to an end. ABC confirmed today that the popular soap opera "Desperate Housewives" is being cancelled in 2012, after eight seasons. The main reason is said to be declining rating.

I love "Desperate Housewives" and I've followed the show since the start in 2004, so it feels a bit sad. However, it's good that the creators know about it in advance, so that they can wrap up all storylines before the finale. We don't want it to end with a cliffhanger.

Rumour has it that one of the housewives will get a tragic end. Do you remember my old blogpost where I came up with the perfect ending to the show? "Dallas" alert!

Will you miss "Desperate Housewives"?

Exposé - Point Of No Return

As you know, freestyle music makes me so happy! One of the best freestyle tracks is Exposé's "Point Of No Return" from 1987. Check out the video: The hair, the clothes, the dance moves, the music. So eighties! I love it.

Exposé recently released a brand new version of the song, remixed by Chris Cox. Sure, it's not as good as the original, but if you're interested, two of the remixes can be downloaded for free at Exposé's official website.

Do you like latin freestyle music? Let me know!

Selena - Dutch disco singer fansite

I just created a fansite about Dutch italo disco singer Selena. Please check it out! When most people hear the name Selena, they think of latin pop singer Selena Quintanilla, who tragically died in 1995. But there was another artist called Selena, an italo disco singer from The Netherlands.
