annabelle Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 OK so I was thinking- since we already have all these interesting threads about how to say I love you in your language and similar ones where we can find out something else about countries that maybe we could have a thread about music that's popular in yours countries. We're gathered from all over the world and we obivously love music so it'd be fun to know who/which is your favourite singer/band from yours country and who's the most popular one? (I already know the answer about favourite singer from those from England:naughty: ) BTW...I'm sorry if there's already a thread like that.

CazGirl Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 MIKA obviously lol... other big names are Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Girls Aloud, McFly..... but I'm a fan of Japanese Music really, and my faves are Koda Kumi and Morning Musume. I know more J-Pop artists, but i'm a fan of these two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirtilla Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 uhmm, let me think...if you look at the gigs in Italy Vasco Rossi ALWAYS makes sold-out. And Laura Pausini (which maybe some of you have heard of) is very successful too. We also have young bands who reach the top, but they last 1 year, max 2 and then disappear. Then american hip hop singers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah_loves_mika Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I like Katy Perry from America She supported Mika once i think. Once or twice. Anyway, i LOVE her songs http://www.myspace.com/katyperry Go! Run! Go listen! Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen from UK are me faves too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I have no idea! I haven't listened to Canadian radio since I stopped driving 3 years ago. I only listen to Capital FM in London and BBC Radio 1. I'm going to the Virgin Festival in Toronto in September but it's almost all British acts. Looking forward to seeing Paolo Nutini, Amy Winehouse, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys there. I think Mika is doing quite well here. LICM was released in late February and it was #2 the week of March 21 when he played in Toronto and Montréal. I noticed it's climbing back up the charts again now that Love Today has been released.

Droopsy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 CLOUSEAU!!!! A band I'm fan off from when they started.. so my entire life!! they're as old as i am lol! they've been around for so long! it's hard for me to pick a song, so i just took one of their recent ones: Vonken en vuur (normally they're a bit more ballad-like and they're great live! love them) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9y-RXUjCg8 DAAN!!!! I think his most famous song is "swedish designer drugs" so... (he's also great live!!!) HOOVERPHONIC!!!! Gotta love that band! They were more famous in the US than they were in our country! My favorite song: Eden (they have a song on the "a lot of love" soundtrack --> mad about you, second favorite ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veP2PcvMWKQ K'S CHOICE "Everything for free" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=359y9sVpMLI Axelle Red "besoin de temps" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQai9M0b1Es Sylver (okay I don't really really like it, but what can I say... this genre is very popular in Belgium, there are a lot of bands like it and they're popular...)

annabelle Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 OK, so I start a thread and then I forget to say how is in my country. Definitely the most popular and famous band is Siddharta. their first hit- My fav band is Big Foot Mama...I listened to them all the time when I was about 15 or 16...I still like them a lot. They're really awesome! this is the song I absolutely adore...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqIFeFO_sx0 I don't have any fav singer in Slovenia...to be honest, they all pretty much suck (thank god for Mika:bleh: )and I can't remember any right now so maybe I'll add some later (if I remember of course). TheBlackQueen-you just add more of them. I love spanish music...it seems that no song can be bad if it's sang in spanish language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 My favorite American artist/band: No Doubt/ Gwen Stefani - they are my second favorite band and Gwen is my ultimate female hero.

Cassiopée Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I don't listen much to french canadian music (Montreal is part of Quebec, a french province). I like: Dumas: Jean Leloup (He's been popular for more than 15 years, now he's Jean Leclerc): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAappAsGBO0 Mes Aïeux (mix of pop/rock and trad music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuRXrSB6ulg Cowboys Fringuants: really popular: Les Trois Accords: Ariane Moffat (like her): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_go7ZblUPY Pierre Lapointe (like him and he was at Mika's gig!): Malajube (good review by Q mag): English music from Montreal that I love: Sam Roberts (he's so cute:wub2: ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjaK_UHqEd8 Jason Bajada: Enjoy! And I let my other canadians friends do the outside Québec singer/group (please!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 music in my country is LAME. well most of it. atleast some of it's ok. but where i live the people my age all listen to music that screams at you, when they go out for fun the go to shows where the lead singer screams at you then says "i've got such a headache!" well maybe you should stop thrashing around and screaming. hhaha. sorry it just really doesn't make sense to me! but if it's what they like... here's an example: myspace.com/fftl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk448 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 here's an example: myspace.com/fftl Oh wow, that's awful... I listened to like 20 seconds of it and had to click out of it! Luckily, in my part of the US people don't really listen to stuff like that. Mostly, they listen to hip hop and rap, country, and their own band 'cause just about EVERYONE has their own band! It's so annoying, lol. People always come up to me and say hey, check out our band! and I'd really like to say no, you're band is horrible but I wouldn't want to crush their dreams 'cause I'm sure they'd really care what someone like me who is musically challenged has to say!
