Who's Charlie?
So, with the fall out from the whole Busted splitting affair beginning to settle, it seems that James and Matt are unlikely to work together in the near future and, if they do, it certainly won't be under the Busted name, perhaps because it's too easy to take it literally now. Naturally some fans are upset about this and would rather that they carried on, even if this meant them stumbling around much in the manner of a three-legged dog, well, two-legged, but you get the drift. To this end a petition has been set up to encourage the boys to carry on without the man who is currently public enemy number one as far as teenage girls are concerned.
We admire their enthusiasm for this task - at the time of writing 1136 have declared their support - despite the complete futility of it, although we must express concern for their lack of knowledge of punctuation, grammar, spelling and, in some extreme cases, the concept of vowels, but ultimately it's not actually that bad an idea. After all, there's precedent in the cases of The Sugababes, Atomic Kitten and Hear'Say who all lost a member, but continued on to greater success after auditioning for a new one. Well, maybe Hear'Say were a bad example, but the others fit the pattern, so why can't Busted? Indeed, we feel a bit of pop incest should be involved and would encourage Matt to get on the phone and give Kerry Katona a call, she must have plenty of time on her hands now that Loose Woman isn't on the air. Given that the big concept for new pop groups this year is, essentially, "Busted with breasts", it could only prove to be a boon for both parties.
Incidentally, despite the "Busted with breasts" vibe being likely to shape the charts this year, The Noise Next Door shouldn't get too excited as, despite their best efforts, they're not Busted with breasts, they've fallen short and are just a bunch of tits.
