SINGLE REVIEW: Marina & The Diamonds- Radioactive

'Radioactive', the new single from Marina & The Diamonds and LOUD! can smell a hit. 'Radioactive' is a dancy/pop song, which is different from Marina's other songs. Stargate produced the song, which explains why it is so good. Stargate were the ones who made Rhianna's number 1 single 'Only Girl', but the lyrics to 'Radioactive' are very clever and doesn't sound like the 'sell-out' style, which Rhianna went with. The video is very artistic and unique, it features Marina wearing a blond wig and running around America with a mysterious man and being chaotic. LOUD! are also looking forward to Marina's second album, which is rumored to be released early 2012. The second album will sound different from her first album 'The Family Jewels' because she has worked with different producers and has also co-wrote the album, which she has never done before. LOUD! give the song 10/10 because Marina's vocals and the dancy music work really well together, well done Marina!

V Festival 2011

V Festival returns this year with a massive line-up, which includes Rihanna, Katy B, Artic Monkeys, Jessie J, The Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding and many more. LOUD!'s favorite performance was from the queen of pop, Jessie J. She managed to display a powerful perfomance with a broken foot. Jessie stood out with her amazing purple hair and colourful outfit. Her set-list included 'Do It Like A Dude', 'Price Tag', 'Nobody's Perfect' and 'Who You Are'. She also had a suprise guest, mini Jessie J appeared in the performance of 'Who's Laughing Now', which was funny. Another intresting performance was from Olly Murs who preformed his new single 'Heart Skips A Beat'. The crowd was going crazy and you could tell there was alot of energy coming from the performance. Rizzle Kicks appeared on stage to perfom their part of the song, while jumping about like some energetic children, which was funny to watch. Another sucessful year for the V Festival, but who will be playing next year?

SINGLE REVIEW: Jessie J- Who's Laughing Now

Who's Laughing Now, the new single from Jessie J. LOUD! thinks the message of the song is positive and will comfort young people who are being bullied. The song is about Jessie being bullied from a number of reasons which include having 'bugs bunny teeth' and looking like an alien, which we think is sad and pathetic reasons to bully, but at least Jessie is sucessful and famous, whereas the bullies are probably working in MacDonalds. LOUD! arent too keen on the video, which features a young Jessie running around the school destroying things, which isnt that intresting. However, Jessie appears as various characters in the video, which includes a teacher, cleaner and dinnerlady, which is funny. LOUD! give the song 8/10 for sending out a positive message, but other Jessie J songs are better.
