Last week in our Rachel Furner introduction article we made a succession of backhanded compliments and digs at Pixie Lott but celebrated the fact that she normally avoids the overly-angsty lyrical content of her contemporaries. So after hearing Broken Arrow, the first single from the rerelease of debut album Turn It Up, the fantastically-named Turn It Up Louder (payrise for whoever came up with that one), we felt our worst fears were about to be realised - an angst-y dirge-y ballad from the woman whose constant musical and lyrical positivity has proven irresistable… but then we listened a few more times, hit ‘see more’…

After an exhaustive and tiresome search that took in the length and breadth of Britain a couple of tweets on twitter, TT (that’s us) and our much-loved users (that’s you) finally escalated one individual to the coveted position of superstar video blogger. And that lucky person is 16-year Helen from Watford. Hit ‘see more’ for a couple of reasons why we love Helen already, and her first vlog which features a walk. That’s got you excited hasn’t it…

You may not realise it, but most of you will already know Bruno Mars. He’s appeared on songs that reached no.1 (Nothin’ On You with B.o.B) and no.3 (Travie McCoy’s Billionaire) in the UK charts. He also has songwriting credits on several more no.1s, including Get Sexy by the Sugababes and Flo Rida’s Right Round, the song that introduced Ke$ha to the world. OK, so none of these songs are pure pop gold, but keep reading cos you’ll want to hear what’s next.

After last week’s Alisha Show, it was inevitable that the next episode of BNTM would seem somewhat flat in comparison. The producers certainly tried to up the ante by throwing as many challenges as possible at the girls – making them shoot in sub-zero temperatures and stupid costumes in Norway, model couture hats and most difficult of all, try to make New Look clothes look good. However, sometimes all you need is a drunk girl TALKING VERY LOUDLY. Never mind, a truly shocking bottom two almost made up for it. Hit see more for our recap.

When we invented the concept of the Pop Star Bop It League we didn’t expect that the third person to make a solo attempt would COMPLETE THE BLOODY THING. But that’s exactly what has happened. JayTheWanted has joined the ranks of the few people ON THE PLANET with the mental agility, supercharged reactions and great barnet to complete Bop-It by successfully bopping, twisting, flicking, spinning and pulling 250 TIMES. To say this is a seminal moment in pop music history would hardly speak of its magnitude.

Alright Benders? Good news, probably the best thing on TV returns in September in the form of The Inbetweeners, the British comedy series themed around the excruciating and crushing mediocrity of suburban life that was teentoday.co.uk’s childhood. Consistently great TV, you really should be watching it, and if you hit ‘see more’ you can watch a brand new clip from Series 3…
