Popcorn a new genre

I decided to speak a little bit about this "new genre" who was invented in Romania by David Deejay in 2008 when they release the song "Sexy Thing" with kitch sounds that  reminds a little bit of "popcorn when are done" so the name was adopted and soon this sound was borrowed by many romanian projects like Akcent, Play & Win, Inna, Edward Maya and the most recent one No Artists No Tracks.
Popcorn now can be defined as a kitch house that now is played all over Europe in clubs and on radios, a genre who is catchy exactly like a "basket of popcorn".

Gaga Virus

I really don't get it, why so many dance artists are influenced by this new Gaga wave... is not popular anymore to be natural and to be a women and an artist first of all ...
This 2 singers have this "Gaga flu"

Music scandals and Da Buzz

Recently i read the article from scandikpop  about Da Buzz and Cascada,  it's so easy to judge when you're stay away in a chair  and just listen music ... i get it  if you scream may be heard !? or in this case read! it's so simple to judge when you're not involved in the creation of the songs... and everyone now is Perez Hilton but the sad part Perez in the end was "resolved" by The Black Eye Peas ;-)
I don't take any parts but i know how hardly is to promote songs when radios is closing doors in  nose if you don't pay them to promote your track or how hard is to get it if you don't have an army of PR's and managers who are doing the work and think at you as a product not as an artist, so what if Cascada copied Gaga style also and Rihanna copied her, but let me tell you dear jurnalist that you are just take Cascada ,Annika Thörnquist or September and let them sing live near Madonna & Lady Gaga... and would see what is my point of view..
Anyway Annika Thörnquist aka Da Buzz came back with a new remix of "U Gotta Dance", the single who has Da buzz sound and was released on itunes.
The track was release in the way to promote the new show from swedish television TV4 called "Let's Dance" where  Annika  will compete with Alexander Rybak (ESC winner) more details here.
