Summer songs: Peter Wilson - Stereo

If you think this sounds like good old Stock-Aitken-Waterman you are right. It is! Seems like the whole PWL team is behind this one and indeed it sounds just like if Rick Astley, Mel & Kim or the likes could have recorded this some 25 years ago. But it's Aussie Peter Wilson with his Stereo . The vid is so gay it hurts and I have a feeling it's not intentional.....

UK: It doesn't sound good to me

What an earth happened in the UK? When Josh Dubovie was selected to perform the Stock-Waterman penned That sounds good to me everyone kinda accepted it as a quickly made demo and were expecting something great when the final mix comes out. And here it is. Slower and duller than ever. And it's not Josh's fault. What were you thinking, who you finalized the track? I wonder if UK can make it out from the Bottom4 with this...? Yawn.

Pete Waterman of PWL to write the UK entry

Pete Waterman, the man behind the countless hits of Kylie Minogue , Jason Donovan , Sinitta , Hazell Dean , Bananarama , Cliff Richard, Sonia , Mel & Kim , Rick Astley , Steps .... the list is endless. His PWL ruled the British charts - and not only - in the late 80's-early 90's. His first chart topper was John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John's You're the one that I want in 1978 and the latest Six's Let me be the one in 2002. In total he has written/producer/promoted 40 UK number ones and over 300 top-40 songs. PWL was considered a sort of modern day Motown, a real Hit Factory where several singers sung the same song and the most potential one was released and sometimes others, too. Like Turn it into love by Hazell and Kylie.   Or once again Hazell and Liza Minnelli in Love pains . With the 80's revival going on, has BBC got it right this time?
