Girls
Emily Middlemas
One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

Sam Lavery
Girls Aloud - I’ll Stand By You

Saara Aalto
Girls Aloud - Sound of The Underground

Groups
5 After Midnight
Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There
Madcon / Little Mix - Beggin/Wings

Four of Diamonds
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.

This is a weird song choice, other than us oldies who has ever heard it?

[Roussette]

Girl with fringe is gorgeous. (Biased here... DD1 has had a fringe cut like that. Drastic, but I think I like it!)

These are sounding better tonight but not sure they have mass appeal

[nancy75]

fairy they stood up

[The80sweregreat]

Destiny, yes, i know we make comments, but its not poison like that! This isnt too bad. Social media has a lot to answer for.

[dillite]

I have never heard this song.

[Raahh]

Back in the day, this was on Atlantic 252 ALL THE TIME.

ALL THE TIME.

[dillite]

But they do sound like cats getting strangled when they all sing at the same time.

[BLACKTUESDAY1]

Their voices are awful

[Destinysdaughter]

It's at the end of Bridesmaids too

[Raahh]

Can Sharon smile, though? Doesn't she need advance warning?

[PikachuSayBoo]

Atlantic 252....blast from the past!

[The80sweregreat]

Its on Bridesmaids film too! As i wrote that, Shazza said it.
I do like that song.

[gettingtherequickly]

Shone, not shined.

[Raahh]

Do we need a new girl band, Louis? Do we?

[NoisyBrain]

I think that fringe girl and half-jeans girl are a lot stronger in the solo parts the others.

[nancy75]

Sharon's smile is managed by remote control, along with the rest of her face

[squoosh]

Atlantic 252!

They always played a lot of Martika and Snap! too.

[Raahh]

Pikachu- it was all we get a reliable signal for in deepest Wales at the time.

[The80sweregreat]

Raahh, not really. Little mix are around in that slot, although the latest one of theirs is a bit shouty!

[RebootYourEngine]

I quite liked this song (4od) but then maybe its more of the best out of a shit bunch.

[Raahh]

1990. Happy days.

[nancy75]

I discovered this week ( on a conspiracy thread) that Finland might not be a country, there isn't even land there- it's totally made up by Russia. I wonder if Saara knows anything about it

[dillite]

That Saturday's constant blinking is driving me mad.

[Raahh]

80s- maybe Louis meant 'new girl band with clothes on', Little mix are filling the slot for 'girl band minus clothes' .

[dillite]

Huh? Finland isn't a country? How? Why? Elaborate, please.
