The Ting Ting's Release New Single, "Hands"


My favorite British-based band, The Ting Tings, have finally released their new single and the first track off of their yet to be released album tentatively titled, Kunst.

The song is called "Hands" and has a more dancey electro-pop vibe to it than some of The Ting Ting's other songs. It kind of reminds me of a mixture of Lady Gaga and new-school Madonna. I like it, but I don't love it. I like most of the songs off of The Ting Ting's 2008 release, We Started Nothing.

Although I am disappointed in their new single, I still have hope that the rest of their album will be amazing. The Ting Tings are an incredibly talented, unique band. I am still excited to hear more of their music and I'm anxious for the release of Kunst. I believe that there will be better songs than Hands On. I think they just choose a poor song to release as their first single. :-/.

What do you think of the Ting Tings new single? Do you like it, or do you prefer their old stuff? Will you buy "Kunst" when it is released?

Former member of the Pop Group S-Club 7 Announces He is Gay


Jon Lee, formerly known as the sweet blonde guy from the former TV series/pop group, S-Club 7, just announced to GT Magazine that he is Gay.

In his interview with the magazine Lee explains that he has never really felt the pressure to hide his sexuality. He blames the public for being unaware of his sexually because they "never asked".

Now that this has come out, I'm not really surprised. I didn't really suspect it in the past, but then again I was like, 10 when the show was still on air. I don't think I was quite old enough to catch on to it yet.

I wonder if he has himself a man? Too bad Lance Bass is dating Lorenzo Marteno, if those two got together they'd make a pretty good couple. It would be the ultimate gay blonde pop group duo!

What do you think about Jon Lee announcing his homosexuality? Are you surprised, or did you suspect it?
