It's Friday. If were a member of much maligned and entirely unmissed glam rockers
King Adora, we'd be banging on about how it's all quite exciting because tonight is the night when everything explodes, or something like that anyway. Of course, we'd also be partaking in the least convincing attempt at androdgyny since a brickie thought that going to a fancy dress as David Bowie was a good idea, so maybe it's all for the best. Still, Smoulder was quite good. Anyway, instead we watched Top of the Pops. Here's what we learnt:-
- It was the Top of the Pops/Radio 1 Christmas Party tonight. This meant that along with the usual pop based shenanigans, we also got to watch Fearne getting drunk on cheap punch before falling over and flashing her knickers, Reggie breaking the photocopier while photocopying part of his anatomy and Chris Moyles acting like an obnoxious twat.
- Tom from McFly is turning more and more into Gary Barlow with each passing day, leading us to suspect that he actually is Gary Barlow, and this is just his attempt at restarting his pop career.
- Apparently Jamelia has "taken UK R&B to a whole new level". Quite how "Never saying no to any TV appearance ever" equates to transcending genre boundaries we're not exactly sure.
- Johnny Borrel from out of Razorlight committed a fashion faux pas by wearing his jacket on stage. He'll not feel the benefit once he gets outside.
- Someone appeared to be making the time honoured "wanker" hand gesture in front of the camera during Steve Brookstein's 'performance' of Against All Odds. We approve.
- Not only did Kylie manage to avoid falling over during her performance of her top two hit I Believe in You, but she also sang live. Unfortunately she doesn't get awarded full marks as the dress she was wearing was terrible.
- Lemar, the presenters promised, was going to do a "very special performance" of Better Than This. It wasn't. Not unless your definition of "very special" is the same as that for "deathly dull".
- Band Aid 20 is still number one. Truly the suffering does continue.
