Thoughts of the Pops
Back once again with the, if not ill, then at least slightly iffy behaviour, here's what we learnt from tonight's Top of the Pops
- If we wanted to listen to a piss-poor Nelly knock off, we wouldn't listen to Blazin' Squad, we'd be extremely worried about what had happened to our musical tastes.
- Not only is Matt Goss still alive, he also has a stupid hat.
- Robbie Williams is still a smug, punchable twat. He also turned in one of the worst vocal performances since B*Witched thought it might be a good idea to perform live. Oh, and singing one of your bigger hits at the end of the song is not likely to make it sell any more records Mr JustScrapedInToTheTopTen
- The new Pet Shop Boys single isn't actually that good, is it? it also reminded us why we hate vocoders.
- While Hey Ya by Outkast is quite possibly the finest single released this year, Andre has the fashion sense of a blind Tory Farmer, and we can only hope that the look doesn't catch on.
- Thanks to Lost Prophets, we've now discovered the hitherto unknown influence of 'soulful' (i.e. dull) popster Seal and rubbish shouty nu-metal music. He must be so proud. We look forward to the new Hundred Reasons single referencing Kiss From a Rose. (Crazy has, alas, already been claimed by the Blazin' Squad
- The new Black Eyed Peas single is actually rather good, isn't it?
- Kylie Minogue has made friends with some sexy Jedis.
