Thoughts of the Pops
Splitting news seems to be the theme of this week, as we have even more break-up related info to bring you. It seems that the lovely Nicola Roberts has finally taken notice of the letters we've been sending her and realised that her boyfriend wasn't good enough for her, so is now single. See, we knew that once we startd writing them in our own blood she'd realise how important they were. Now all we need to do is wait for our restraining order to run out and we can finally make her our bride. We've already faked the wedding photo's and everything. Anyway, so happy were we at this news that not even watching Top of the Pops could bring us down, could it? Here's what we learnt from this weeks show:-
- Cha Cha Slide by DJ Casper may well be the worst song ever, though it is good to see that Mr Motivator still has something approaching a career.
- Nelly Furtado is, like, a bird. Her new single is nice enough, but ultimately is as forgettable as the taste of icicles.
- Anastasia has a new single out called Left Outside Alone. In this the indeterminately gendered singer has decided to go a bit rocky. This is signified by the fact that the guitarist has 'interesting' facial hair and a tattoo. This song is better than her previous efforts, but that's not exactly a glowing recommendation.
- The new single by Janet Jackson is rubbish, this isn't exactly a surprise as Janet has only ever done one good thing in her entire career - the intro to All For You. We were more diappointed that her new single didn't have the same name as the Anastasia one, as we would have made a joke about the fact it was her right boob that was outside alone, not her left one. An opportunity missed, we feel.
- We're quite glad that the new Blink 182 single features high level of whinyness, as otherwise we'd probably really like it, and the shame which that would bring would be far too much to cope with.
- We have absolutely no opinion on FYA ft Smujji whatsoever.
- Britney is at number one. Hooray! To celebrate TotP showed the same dodgily mimed performance they had a few weeks ago. It hasn't really improved. We do quite fancy the red headed dancer though, which probably won't come as a huge surprise to anyone.
