If she does play (which she surely will) my guess would be warm up for Diana Ross on the Sunday.

The girl ain’t playing any lower than 4th down on any stage.

This remix is what we really love to see 

 

Such a great remix. Memories of messy nights out in Cardiff a couple of years ago are flooding back.

There's Stock Aitken & Waterman, and then there's decent pop music.

It's people like you not being able to tell the difference that has you say things like that.

And thank God you're here to tell us the difference Neil. Otherwise we might have ended up liking the wrong stuff!

Cririque of the music = absolutely fine. No beef with that, otherwise this place would be incredibly dull. 

"People like you not being able to tell the difference" = more than a bit douchey and guardian of the one true way.

What constitutes decent pop music out of interest?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Better The Devil You Know by Kylie, Love In The First Degree by the Nanas and Respectable by Mel & Kim?

why don't you tell me all about your "pop music isn't real music" theory?

Cos I'm a bit confused by what you're saying with my 35 years of attending a pop festival.

[FakeEmpire]

Aside from the obvious 80s references, this new Dua track really reminds me of Ladyhawke's 'My Delirium'.

Anyway, it's camp as tits and I welcome a big, euphoric pop song any day.

I still find *her* to be not a particularly comfortable pop star, however.  I suppose it's quite common with these big pop girls now - the labels force them into dance routines etc once they've had a few big hits even if they are terrible dancers (see also Mabel & Anne-Marie).

Correct on all counts. You win the day.

[MEGABOWL]

It is quite a SAW sound. Not good SAW either (yeah there is such a thing).

[CaledonianGonzo]

Physical? Bit less flimsy and a bit more Hi NRG I'd say.

You brought up “plastic pop” as a term of derision, which is why I asked the question. 
 

Yes Glastonbury is all “popular “ music, but I think you know what type of pop I was referring to.

yes mates buzzing to get wine drunk for a bitta dua lipa in the sun. lovely stuff.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Have to say that, despite me being firmly on the Robyn train, having listened to a few Dua Lipa tracks I'm in agreement with Neil here. 

Absolutely nothing new or interesting in there.

Does stuff have to be new or interesting to be any good though? Stuff can be good and entertaining without being groundbreaking or having a meaningful message or owt like that.

Sometimes it's just nice to be entertained by some upbeat tunes
