Thoughts of the Pops
What did we learn from tonight's Top of the Pops? Well, not a great deal to be honest, as this evening's effort was one of the worst we've had to endure in all our years of watching the show. Someone, somewhere decided that the sort of line-up guaranteed to have ratings soaring includes Westlife, Beenie Man, Vs and Enrique "sodding" Inglesias. In what deluded mind does that make sense? Surely someone could have sat down, looked at that list and said, "Hang on a sec, this is a bit shit, maybe we shoudl try and get someone who's actually good booked". When you begin looking forward to an Usher performance you know things are looking about as good as discovering that you've had "Kick Me" tattooed on your back during a drunken night out.
Highlight of the show was, once again, Peter Andre (There'll be a special Peter Andre feature appearing on TiaPL this weekend, not that we're ones to desperately cling on to a bandwagon just as it's about to crash into the mountain of disinterest. No. Definitely not.). This was partly down to the fact that he is clearly having the time of his life being a popstar again, but mainly due to the fact that Bubbler Ranx has been found and was live in the studio with him. This reunion makes us as excited as Ronan Keating gets when he's told he can have a whole leg of lamb if he just sings one song. At this rate Reel 2 Reel will get back in touch with the Mad Stuntman and heart felt hymns to the joys of gyrating will be heard once again.
