Here at VidZone Towers we are as excited as the rest of the world about the upcoming World Cup… it excites us even more because it gives us the chance to feature all the amazing footy songs from over the years! So… What we were thinking… was… that maybe you could send us the names of your favourite football anthems… Just to make sure we have all of them. That ok? Coooool. My personal favourite football song lyric of all time, John Barnes… Anfield Rap… “I come from Jamaica, my name is John Barnes When I do my thing the crowd go bananas”… Genius.
We also have a very cool Dan Le Sac Celebrity Playlist – featuring videos from Fever Ray, Dead Prez and Bomb The Bass and a intro video from the guys which they filmed just for us… Which is nice.
FEATURED CHANNEL
Hot New Videos
Newer than a very new thing, hotter than the sun, and more videoey (no… it’s not a word… but I like it) than a pile of DVD’s. Featuring the brand new video from Ke$ha ‘Your Love Is My Drug’, Beyonce ‘Why Don’t You Love Me’, Usher ‘Lil Freak’and loooooads more.
ON DEMAND
Artist Of The Week
Dizzee Rascal (UK, Ireland)
Everyone’s favourite cheeky rapper is back again with another smash hit, seems the boy can do no wrong at the moment it was a no brainer to have him as our artist of the week. Includes new single ‘Dirtee Disco’
Kelis (all ex. UK, Ireland, Spain Netherlands and Finland)
With the help of a few of the hottest dance producers in the world (i.e David Guetta, Tocadisco and Boyz Noize) Kelis has come up with a belter of an album and we have the video to her new single ‘Acapella’ here as well as all her old hits.
Miley Cyrus (Netherlands, Spain)
Miley aka Hannah aka… well that’s it for her aliases but there is no end to her talent and her smile. So if it’s a guilty pleasure or whether you are a proud fan, get your fix of Billy Ray’s daughter here. Featuring new single ‘Can’t Be Tamed’
Dennis Ferrer (Finland)
New York Producer/Remixer/DJ extraordinaire Dennis Ferrer is back weaving his soulful house magic to produce his new single ‘Hey Hey’ for “y’all” to listen to, watch and potentially have a little boogie to.
Lostprophets Interview
Welsh rockers (I didn’t know they were Welsh… I do now) talk exclusively to us about all those things that you wanted to know about the phenomenon that is… Lostprophets, which is a good thing as I can imagine they know a lot about that subject. Watch to find out.
Pocket TV (UK & Ireland)
Our friends over at Pocket TV have been as busy as they ever are, interviewing many many celebrities just for you. New interviews from Paloma Faith, Gemma Arterton from Prince of Persia and Merv Lukeba & Katie Prescott from Skins
FEATURED CATEGORY
RnB TV
Because we all know you love RnB, and because we love RnB too, we thought it essential to feature this category so none of you miss out on the chance to get your diamante encrusted dancing shoes on. Featuring the following channels;

- Music Divas TV
NEXT WEEK
Christina Aguilera Celebrity Playlist
We got Christina down to the office to pick a few of her favourite videos… Seriously we did. Well she didn’t come to the office… but she did pick her own videos which I think you will agree is amazing! Check out what she picked here.
Train Interview
Not an interview with an actual train… That would be dull. Unless it was Thomas… The band called Train. So if you like the band Train… Watch this interview…

Well… I am off to get an ice cream… Weather is gorgeous here in the UK (I write this blog on a Monday and I know that is doubtful the weather will still be as nice on Thursday, but I had to mention it). I hope the weather is nice where ever it is that you are, and if not, hopefully it will get better soon.
Thanks for your time.
Ben

Eat My Goal by Collapsed Lung has to be in there, World In Motion by New Order for a classy song AND a John Barnes rap in one neat package, Mas Que Nada (the advert for the famous sports brand which had a bunch of Brazilians playing football in an airport) and – for pure cheesy brilliance – Manchester United & Status Quo’s Come On You Reds.
Altogether now: “Schmeichel, Parker, Pallister/Irwin, Bruce, Sharpe and Ince/Hughes, McClair, Keane and Cantona/Robson, Kanchelskis and GIGGS!”
Not a Man U fan, but that brings back very fond memories of belting it out in dull lessons at school…

Hey acridweasel
Good suggestions! We will go digging about and see if we have/can get all of these!

How about a Japanese TV channel? Oh wait, you ain’t got no music from the world’s second largest music market, lol fail. At least Miley Cyrus is something, so long as Party In The USA is up.

Sounds nice. Just one problem with VidZone. I can’t actually figure out where to find all these tv channels.. Whenever I go to the menu and take the “all channels” option, nothing comes up. The same with predefined on-demand playlists. Now I don’t know, whether it is intentional, that there only exists like six playlists, but it sure is depressing.
Now I work as a user interface designer, and I can’t imagine a more horrible feature in a service like this, that the user actually can’t find what he’s looking for.
So please do something about this
It’s not fun to read about all the cool tv channels in vidzone and then not to find them..
Posted on 28 May, 2010 at 4:40 pm by Ben Creasey
Hey hiuspaa
We did have an issue last week with the TV channels not showing up properly. This should be fixed now so go check back and you should see 100s of playlists and TV channels for your enjoyment.
If you still can’t see them then email ps-problems@vidzone.tv and we will look into it for you further.

I’ve been watching a lot of vidzone over the last few days and I’m loving it, particularly the Metal Mania and 21st Century Rock channels.
However my one slight problem is that when you search for Muse, it comes up as an artist, but when you click on it there are no results. Can we either have some videos on, they have a lot of good ones, or take them off the artists because it gets my hopes up everytime I see it.
Also we need to get Gorillaz on there, their videos are great.
