*Shudder*

It's just a shame when there are so many talented musicians out there doing stuff but not getting deals/distribution/management when people put money/effort into celeb flash in the pans.

Amanda Holden is a publicity seeking fool. My dad and some of his colleagues from CLS were doing a music workshop project at Great Ormond Street and Amanda Holden turned up, hyperactive publicist in tow, to have her photo taken with various sick children before disappearing again. Fortunately some justice was done as they appropriated her to play the part of an evil frog in the story they were telling when she arrived.

I once met Bill Maynard , AKA Greengrass, AKA Selwyn Froggat... cos he did a single about Stock Car racing and my uncle was a driver...
I was about 12 and so it was a long long time ago!
But I still remember all the words

Theres crowds and noise
and fumes and fuss
and every meeting is a must
Stock Car racing is magic...

Genius!

you all seem to be forgetting nadia's single, which is a crime against humanity.
"chicken-loving Les Dennis" am i missing something here?

how can anything trivialise the charts further?
it's only twelve-year-olds and younger who care
and that's as trivial as you get

This sort of shit makes me sick! re-open Auschvitz for these people... and people who have bought their records. Or hold a massive gig like a super cool Smash Hits Party... and GAS THE PLACE!

MWA AH HA HA AH AHA AH AHHAH !

My vote goes with "who cares?", one more record to avoid hearing on Radio 1? Big deal! Anyway, she's quite hot... Just think of the music videos. Ahem. It's important to distinguish her forthcoming 'music 'as a product, rather than actual music, and it's not going to stop any two-bit indie band from getting the record deal they 'so quite clearly deserve'. The point is, that any shitty celebrity wannabe is going to make more money for the record companies on a couple of singles or an album than say Aereogramme (who I think are great) will in their entire career. Yes it's a shame that all this celeb-pop nonsense is confused with something worthwhile, but whilst there are people who enjoy it (and there are plenty of them), the only people that this kind of thing will actually hurt are the people that choose to be offended by it.

Oh, and by the way, William Shatner's records are magic, and you know it. Have you *heard* his version of 'Mr Tambourine Man'? He screams. Genius.
