Girls Aloud - Sound of The Underground

Groups
5 After Midnight
Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There

Wilson Phillips - Hold On


It's a bit of a mixed bag. I'm not sure I'd call The Beatles a boyband in the Westshoite meaning of the word.

I do not want to see Honey G jumping .
I think 4oD might do a reasonable jog of 'Hold On'.
I have visions of Elfish with a host of Elfish clones in a scary ott Girls Aloud version of the video.

(which, wierdly, I was telling ds , was number one the week he was born. Christmas 2002).

Off to a firework display, having only just warmed up from watching dd1 play football this morning. See y'all later, possibly a bit late.

My god she's 10 years younger than me! I look about 25 compared to her! 😂

[Stuffofawesome]

it doesn't work Simon
it needs to end

[Raahh]

She needs a more supportive bra.

[NoisyBrain]

She reminds me of a Victoria Wood character. In fact, I can't be sure that Victoria didn't already do this at some point in one of her shows.

[nancy75]

How old is she?

[squoosh]

She reminded me of Shara Nelson (perhaps not the best example, since she had an ignominious end to her career, stalking Pete tong)



I did not know that Raah! Shara Nelson's vocals on Unfinished Sympathy are just sublime, one of the best songs of the 90s. Amazing voice.

[Roussette]

Hahaha ... crutches/crotches... all the same

I do think I need some magic mushroom cakes like the judges have been snacking on, I don't get it at all !!!

[nancy75]

Is her nose fake and attached to her glasses?

[Destinysdaughter]

The Honey G album??

Good God nooooooo🙉💩😵

[TheFairyCaravan]

DS2 reckons Peter Kay is going to come out at the final instead of her!

[dillite]

Poor 1/4 of Rough Diamonds- she appears to have been attacked by a lawn mower on her way in and has been forced to perform in whatever was left of her jeans.

[nancy75]

I still think she's ant or Dec, the one with the massive spam

[squoosh]

For someone who's supposedly so into hip hop it's as though she hasn't heard any hip hop that was made after 1995. It's like her only reference is a well listened to cassette called That's What I Call Commercial Hiphop from 1994.

[The80sweregreat]

I liked Kris Kross! (I had no taste when i was younger! )

I read that she wanted to quit though?

[Destinysdaughter]

She's 35 apparently.

Is it just me or does she remind pp of Jimmy Savill?

[Roussette]

nancy yes yes yes!

Joke glasses and nose deffo

[Raahh]

squoosh- I know, I was gutted. She went to court, and every thing. I loved her solo albums, 'One goodbye in ten' is a beautiful song.

Nancy I have long had a theory that her nose, hair, and glasses are all one thing and come off together.

[nancy75]

35! I must be doing ok, she looks older than me & im 41.

Some of the tops look like they have been borrowed from savills wardrobe - really not a good look!

[The80sweregreat]

Its the comeback kid, Ryan is popular in Scotland - my only reasoning for him being saved!

[Roussette]

Oh yes she's definitely re-inventing the JS look.

This boy is a bit wet isn't he... (sorry, I know he has a Mum and that's mean but still....)

[nancy75]

Oh dear, teenage angst

Poor Ryan, they fuck his hair up every week

[dillite]

They are a very whiny bunch this year! Get over it you special snowflakes! It's not like you are anything other than a jumping monkey anyway and will be back to whatever nowhere they came from by Christmas.

[EmmaMacGill]

35!!!!!

[Roussette]

Hmmm. Thing is. They can have all the staging in the world but you can't polish a turd. You have to be able to sing without all that malarkey

[Stopmithering]

I am now wondering why the fuck I am watching this bollocks.
It is all utter shite isn't it?
