Eleftheria Eleftheriou - Hearts Collide

One of my favourites in this year's Eurovision Song Contest was the kitschy pop track "Aphrodisiac" by Greek singer Eleftheria Eleftheriou. Now she's back with the new single "Hearts Collide".

Check out the sexy, homoerotic video right here. Sadly, the track isn't available on iTunes yet but I hope they'll release it as soon as possible.

Jedward - Miss America

Here is the video to Jedward's song "Miss America", taken from their last album "Victory". You can buy the song on iTunes.

Wilson Phillips - Hold On

One of my favourite songs is "Hold On" by US girl group Wilson Phillips. It was released in 1990 and became a big hit all over the world. The song always cheers me up and the wonderful lyrics have helped me through many dark times!

"Hold On" is taken from their debut album "Wilson Phillips", also including the beautiful singles "Release Me", "Impulsive" and "You're In Love". I'm usually not a big ballad fan but Wilson Phillips' ballads are an exception!

If you're interested, you can find their album on iTunes and Spotify.

Personally, I often prefer the album versions of her singles, without rap. And the DVD is a bit cheap, lots of videos are missing. So I think I'll pass on this. But you can pre-order "Dance Again... The Hits" now from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

I want to tell all you eighties lovers about Swedish pop singer Mimi Oh. She competed in Melodifestivalen 2012 – the Swedish pre-selection to the Eurovision Song Contest – with the wonderful track "Det Går För Långsamt".

But my favourite track by Mimi is the amazing "Kom Hit Och Dansa" from 2011. This song has an amazing eighties retro sound and it's available on Mimi's EP "1986". You can buy it on iTunes. Enjoy!
