I thought with Scene now joining us, it would be nice to give all the many different contributors to our forum the chance to get to know the four of us better, so as a reminder, the current moderator team is made up of myself (awardinary), Roba., Yobnedor and Scene. We all love nostalgia, especially when it comes to music from the 21st Century, and we love looking back fondly on how times have changed, what was big in the charts, what artists people were mad about. Also, what TV shows, movies and games people were raving about at the time too. Much has changed, and now we are in the 25th year of this century, it’s a good time to look back on how things have changed.

This thread is a great way to get to know us all better, so please feel free to ask as few or as many questions, and we will all do our best to answer them!

Looking forward to what you all have to say to us!

Your favourite chart hit of the 2000s decade?

Posted by: JulianT 19th March 2024, 02:02 PM

Have any of you figured out Dot’s real name?

Posted by: Scene 19th March 2024, 03:13 PM

Literally too many to name but I guess the most impactful for me at the time was Umbrella. I remember hearing its first play months before its release/promotion and instantly fell in love with it yet could never have predicted it becoming a 10-week #1.



June Brown.

'Because of You' which was my #1 when I did my top 235 of 00's in 2013 but 'Bring Me To Life' is a 2nd.

What's your favourite girl group era, lead single and second single of the entire 2000s?

Posted by: Scene 19th March 2024, 05:23 PM

oooh

Era: Destiny's Child - Survivor
Lead single: Girls Aloud - The Show
Second single: Sugababes - Round Round

Posted by: Last Dreamer 19th March 2024, 08:03 PM

Did you check any Lithuanian girl groups after my recommendation ?

Posted by: TheSnake 19th March 2024, 11:36 PM

I wonder is Scene a fan of the scene music/subculture from the 00s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_(subculture)

Metro Station is one of the 'scene' bands and Shake It was a bop!

Posted by: awardinary 20th March 2024, 12:19 AM

That’s probably something to give some more thought about, but one of them I will say is One Day Like This from Elbow.

We are working on it…

Hmm, well All Saints are up there, as are Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Pussycat Dolls, Mis-Teeq and others. I’ll give this one some more thought.

Tell me where I should start and I will add to my song queue on Spotify. Maybe I can send a Lithuanian artist I like to BJSC one day as they are underrepresented.

You’ll have to ask him what scene he is from!

YVA is not available on Spotify , so you can start with a greatest hits compilation by Mokinukes and two my favourite albums by Mango - Raskila (2004) and 2020.

Also you can check something from my Lithuanian playlist on Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQuUgWEbe4vG8PQRV-f4scNViAa6XL8Tr and my all-time top 100 girl groups songs list (with 40 from Lithuania) : http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=239185

Posted by: Roba. 20th March 2024, 06:29 PM

Favourite girl group era would be Sugababes - Angels With Dirty Faces (with Sugababes - Change also being a fave girl group era of mine.)

Lead Single - All Saints - Pure Shores
Second Single - Sugababes - Round Round (tough one though as I love 'I Hate This Part' as well).

What is your favourite 2000s music video?

Posted by: Scene 20th March 2024, 07:41 PM

I can’t say I’ve really listened to much of it out of choice. I’ll give Metro Station a spin. The name sounds familiar.




Please Don’t Leave Me, Paparazzi and Beautiful but very difficult to choose.

Posted by: Last Dreamer 20th March 2024, 09:22 PM

RATM or Joe McElderry ?

Posted by: Roba. 20th March 2024, 09:33 PM

I'll go for 'Everytime' for best video and I don't think it's one that's talked about quite as much. Emotional song with an intense and deep video.

I was on team Rage at the time but tbh I'm not mad on it outside of the campaign much

Posted by: Scene 20th March 2024, 09:46 PM

RATM. Amazing chart moment - much prefer Miley’s version of TC.

Posted by: Roba. 20th March 2024, 09:55 PM

Miley's version is so much better. Also it will be popping up in the next survivor too

Posted by: Jessie Where 20th March 2024, 10:28 PM

I hate the song in both incarnations

Posted by: Dobbo 28th March 2024, 10:46 AM

Best/favourite concert you attended in the 2000s decade?

Posted by: Scene 28th March 2024, 11:39 AM

I didn't see any concerts in that decade but I saw Rihanna's Loud tour in 2011 and it was incredible. She brought an audience member on stage and straddled them during 'Skin'.

Posted by: awardinary 28th March 2024, 11:40 AM

Radiohead in 2008!

Posted by: Roba. 28th March 2024, 11:55 AM

Would be Linkin Park in 2014 for me. First time at the 02 Arena. They did some quickie mix up of some of their hits near the end mind (especially What I've Done) but still was worth it and a fab time. Seems very poignant now though </3

Favourite sport moment of the 2000s?

Posted by: Yobnedor 28th April 2024, 05:01 PM

Probably a cliche answer but Girls Aloud - Call The Shots. It was so amazing watching them enter their imperial phase with this single. Five singles later, they were hanging up their stilettos! Madness.



PCD’s debut era was a perfect run of singles. Lead single would probably have to be Sexy! No No No or Don’t Cha. Second single would have to be Round Round / Call The Shots / Biology / Up (The Saturdays)




Not yet.



Paparazzi maybe? I can’t think of anything else.



Joe McElderry and it isn’t even a contest. The irony of the song picked by the RATM fans seemed 100% lost on them.



The Return of the Spice Girls or Taking Chances (Celine)

Posted by: Last Dreamer 28th April 2024, 08:17 PM

Walk This Way, Just Can't Get Enough or dislike both ?

Posted by: Roba. 28th April 2024, 11:13 PM

Don't have one in regards to the usual sports as don't follow Football or those kind. (Wrestling guy but I know that's not a legit sport lol).



Just Can't Get Enough is the better one but don't dislike WTW either!

Posted by: Last Dreamer 30th April 2024, 09:24 AM

Name your Top 3 acts from music TV shows.

Posted by: Yobnedor 30th April 2024, 11:49 AM

Just Can’t Get Enough is passable. Walk This Way… urgh. The potential that collab had!

Posted by: Scene 30th April 2024, 12:11 PM

Ooh good question.

1. Leona Lewis obviously
2. Kelly Clarkson
3. Girls Aloud

Shout outs to Alexandra, Little Mix and Adam Lambert though! So many good acts!

Posted by: Roba. 30th April 2024, 03:23 PM

1. Kelly Clarkson
2. Olly Murs
3. Little Mix

Was tempted to include SuBo too but I haven't really checked her stuff outside of her audition and 'Wild Horses' cover lol.

Posted by: awardinary 1st May 2024, 10:08 PM

I’m going to go against the grain and suggest that Just Can't Get Enough is marginally better.

Becky Hill
Little Mix
Olly Murs?

I used to adore Louisa Johnson too as an artist but that quickly faded into obscurity sadly.

Posted by: Yobnedor 2nd May 2024, 07:29 PM

Girls Aloud
Little Mix
JLS maybe… or Diana Vickers
