July 30, 200618 yr Shakira Shakira :dance: Well at least they played it. Was good to see TOTP again, don't watch it normally.
July 30, 200618 yr I thought it was good, but because they didnt have any on show performances such as SHAKIRA it was c**p :P
July 30, 200618 yr I personally was extremely disappointed that Shakira was the last ever number 1. She's not British and didn't grow up watching totp, doesn't realise how big an era it is the end of and therefore probably wont give a f**k she was the last ever number 1! And she wasn't even there to perform! :cry: :huh: <_<
July 30, 200618 yr lets face it.... totp was naff! it was c**p... all those poorly mimed performances, hideous dance routines, the show was pretty much a joke for 40 years.. i saw the very first show, and many ever since, i shed no tears at its long overdue demise.
July 30, 200618 yr That was a nice last show ^_^ It would have been better if Shakira had performed though, then she'd have the honour of being the last ever performance too. Who was the last ever performance btw? :huh:

And even if Shakira wasnt #1, Christina & Rihanna are both aremican and im shure they dont get TOTP whatsoever

July 30, 200618 yr Christina Aguilera had taped an exclusive performance for the last ever TOTP but as she was not #1, it was not played....
July 30, 200618 yr Well just watched it, a good final show. Great clips and archive performances, good to see the old presenters back too. Very sad though, i shall miss it, but it was good it went out in style. Got the show on tape now for prosperity. Now how about they repeat some old shows...that would be awesome!
July 30, 200618 yr I just love the 80s material the best decade in music Oh i so agree, the 80s ruled! :cheer:
July 30, 200618 yr I thought it was OK overall. Some weird choices of clips though. It was a bit of an anticlimax that they only played the video of the number one song though.
July 30, 200618 yr Author There is a docu later at 10pm on BBC2 It was sad seeing it go, poor Jim, he wasn't very happy at the end I got a funny feeling there will be a petition going round soon to bring it back, its part of history that shouldn't really have been pulled, if only they can transmit it at a better time, it will have a better audience.
July 30, 200618 yr Absolutley OUTRAGEOUS that Shakira was the last ever video played on TOTP. A show which has seen so many outstanding and influencial grace the stage now bows out to a cheesy, tacky, cheap video of a song that could be written by a 10 year old. I cannot believe (if true) that they scrapped the Christina performance. At least she has more of an idea of the impact TOTP had here as she's performed on it so many times during the late 90's/00's. They should have played the performance instead of Shakira's video. Everyone involved in show is blaming music channels for its demise - but then they play a video by a singer who i dont think has even performed once on the UK TOTP stage. I also thought the quick 'goodbye' at the end of the show was a disgrace. They should have read some more facts, let the other presenters speak etc. Jeese i am so PISSED off with that last segment of the show... Top Of The Pops, thank you and rest in peace.

Yeah i'll be watching that after BB. It's a real shame to see it go when it will still be shown in the rest of the world. All the future hits we will never see on there. Oh well, TOTP2 is coming back so that will be good.
