HOLLER. Welcome to AMAZEPOP. Thanks loads to everyone who had a ganders at our pilot issue. It was great to have so much positive feedback, to see the hit counter top 25,000 and to even see the results of our Big Vote Thing on girlband hits make it to Heat TV! When it comes to a follow-up, I’m hoping we’re more like Adele, Girls Aloud and Katy Perry than Pixie Lott and Alexandra Burke. This issue’s cover star is the lovely Amelia Lily; facing questions about her upcoming debut album, her lack of radio support for latest single ‘Party Over’, touring with Girls Aloud and allegedly pinching a song from Melanie Blatt. There’s also the results of a quick 10-minute phone call with the marvellous Misha B, an obituary-of-sorts for JLS, an essay on why it’s about time Demi Lovato was big in the UK, and our latest poll results - this time finding the best boyband singles of the last 15 years. We’re also reviewing a flippin’ shitload of singles, albums and TV shows, and revisiting modern classics from Justin Timberlake and Pink; both of whom are still riding high today. Oh, and one of Olly Murs’ biggest nontween fans explains why it’s not uncool to consider yourself a fan of the serial on-stage faller-overer. If you consider yourself a pop fanatic and able to string a sentence together, we’re always interested in hearing from potential contributors, so get in touch via our site or on Twitter (addresses above). Take it to the bridge, Shaun Kitchener (Editor & Head Writer)
