Round Up (Like a Record, Baby)
Well, what an exciting few days in pop it's been, and by 'exciting' we mean pretty non-eventuful really. Lisa Scott-Lee has been dropped by her record label, news which would interest us more if we'd ever actually heard any of her solo stuff. As it was the only reason we knew she was still desperately trying to hang on to a solo career, in much the same way a dog holds onto a rubber bone, was that we'd continually see pictures of her in increasing states of undress in a bid to maintain interest. It's probably a good thing that she has been dropped really, as, barring entering the realms of gyneacololgy, she was running out of bits to show the tabloid reading public.
In other pop girl news, Louise is apparantly pregnant. We never quite 'got' Louise. Yes, Eternal were in their 'quite good' phase when she was a member, and Naked was a decent enough pop tune, but nothing else she's done is even memorable, except for her cover of Stuck in the Middle With You, but that was memorable in the bad sense of the word. She wasn't as attractive as Sky magazine seemed to think she was either.
Elsewhere, we notice that Vs, who we pronounce as Versus, just to annoy them, have entered the top ten with their new single Love You Like Mad. Vs are managed by Simon from Blue, in much the same way that Ronan Keating managed Westlife or that Ronald McDonald is Vice Executive in Charge of Acquisitions for McDonalds. Appropriately enough though, they do sound a bit like Blue, that is, if Blue somehow managed to be even worse than they already are, which is something of a feat to be honest.
Oh, and apparantly Britney Spears has a new single out today. You probably won't have noticed though, given she's done very little promotion for it. Apart from appearing on every single TV programme... ever, to be honest. We half expect to see her perform an impromptu gig during the 6 O'clock news, so desperate is she for it to be a hit. Still, it is quite a good song, certainly the best thing she's done since ...Baby, One More Time, so she probably deserves it. We'd rather see Chicks on Speed get a hit, but there's more chance of us writing a piece without any spelling mistakes than that happening.
