Ooh look! We've gone and given ourselves a facelift and decided that a look that screams out "scarily obsessive" is the way to go. It does, however, show off our design skills to the fullest. Unfortunately. Anyway, no matter how much we might try to look like lamb, the meat underneath will always remain mutton so, without any further ado, here's what we learnt from this weeks
Top of the Pops:-
- If new single Curtain Falls is anything to go by, Blue plan on spending most of their post-split life living in a gangster's paradise. By our reckoning this is the best song they've released by a long shot, though, to be fair, we may just be confusing song enjoyment with the feelings of happiness that are brought by the knowledge that this will be the last thing we'll ever hear from them.
- Lucie Silvas doesn't use a Smooth and Sleek shampoo, preferring instead to opt for the Straggly and Unkempt brand.
- The New Entries Filler Segment was back again. This time Duran Duran, Brandy, Rachel Stevens and Good Charlotte were all considered less worthy of screen time than a crap 'interview' with R Kelly.
- Speaking of which, R Kelly claims that he does music like Steven Spielberg does movies. Yes. We've all heard about his close encounter of the third kind.
- While Usher didn't go topless during his rendition of Confessions he was clearly unable to go for the duration of a song without removing at least one item of clothing, losing his jacket just one minute and thirty-nine seconds into his heart-felt, chair kicking performance.
- U2 were on, performing Vertigo in the outdoors, something which would surely have made a lot more sense if the song was called Claustrophobia.
- Bob Geldof was hinting that he'd be happy to give his blessing to some current pop acts doing a new version of Do They Know It's Christmas?. We're not convinced this is a good idea as, face it, they'll never be able to match the emotional peak of Band Aid II. And, besides, it's not like they'll be able to get a star-studded line up to match D Mob, The Pasadenas and Technotronic, though we're sure Kylie would be up for it again.
- Eric Prydz isn't number one! Hooray! Instead, in news that's as surprising as Andre 3000 turning up to a party dressed like a bit of a tit, Robbie has taken the top spot this week. Hooray! Again!
