Fight Night came to my mind too... I remember videoing something else and I left the tape running so got to see what they broadcast live at the time. They cut away from the scenes but you could still hear the arguing for a while and it was quite uncomfortable to listen without seeing what was going on.

OMFG THIS!!! Spiller isn't even remembered these days, whilst OOYM is played on SG tours, on throwback playlists, played at clubs etc!! The wrong song won and only won due to PRESS MANIPULATION AND PROPAGANDA!!!! She should have releases 2 weeks later. Poor VB!! HUGE SCANDAL and one of the most controversial moments of rhe 00s and I'm srill not over it. In fact due to press propaganda, we can say VB gor the no.1! It's just like how with God Save The Queen, when the press ravaged itband rhe charts company cheates ro keep it at 2, we can say it was also no.1.

A naff Victoria Beckham song defeating an instant classic like Groovejet to no.1 may have made sense back then but would have been absolutely scandalous in hindsight.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,603 User: 12,915	The Jerry Springer musical shown on BBC Two. Spooks Deep Fat Flyer Incident Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross Prank Call to Andrew Sachs on Radio 2 Those were controversial TV moments from what I can remember.

Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,017 User: 116	Can't say I hear Out Of Your Mind anywhere these days, but Groovejet is very regularly still on rotation pretty much everywhere. I'd say the right song won that battle, as much as I'd have liked to have seen VB get a No.1 hit - either with Let Your Head Go/This Groove, or by releasing OOYM on a different week.

Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,017 User: 116	I'll add: Eminem beefs with pretty much everyone, but particularly Fred Durst, Christina Aguilera... The first few series' of the X Factor, particularly 2008 with Beyoncé and Alexandra duet and her 'OMG face' 'Who shot Phil' EastEnders 2001 storyline, and Zoe and Kat's 'You ain't my mother - yes I am' The first Mamma Mia film and yet another ABBA revival, wasn't this for some time the highest grossing film ever in the UK?

Spiller isn't even remembered these days, whilst OOYM is played on SG tours, on throwback playlists, played at clubs etc!! You know in your head this is ABSOLUTE bullshit As someone who actually does leave the house, I very seldom (if ever) hear that VB track anywhere. Whereas 'If This Ain't Love' is iconic, well-remembered and still heard everywhere (not just clubs and bars) today. In fact, there's a recent remix of it I've heard out in clubs by Purple Disco Machine (aka one of the hottest current dance acts), I'd put a wager on it they probably don't even know the VB track. Anyway, it'd be nice if you didn't derail yet another perfectly decent thread with these ramblings.
