April 4, 201411 yr Author Thanks to Abbie. Lovely Will mention from Theo James, who really looks to be hitting the big time. http://metro.co.uk/2014/04/04/divergent-st...nchise-4688241/ Then he went on to star in little-seen Sky show Bedlam alongside Will Young (‘he’s a f***ing legend’). He sounds so like Will in that interview, down to earth, swears a lot and even uses the word quintessential. No wonder they got on so well. I remember him dancing away in his box at the Palladium.

April 5, 201411 yr Author Will triumphs in Popgem vote with Jealousy. Will Young's comeback Top 10 hit from 2011, produced by Richard X, gets the Pop Gem honour! Every week, we our Facebook fans and Twitter fam help us pick a Pop Gem – those overlooked classics that used to be all over the radio but have somehow not quite got the attention they deserve. Until now. This week, to mark the grand final of BBC The Voice UK tonight, our theme was on aTalent Show Stars tip – winners, losers, auditionees, judges, coaches, mentors, presenters. Anyone who’s ever been anywhere near a singing contest, basically. This was our toughest shortlist to put together ever. In the end, this terrific 12 made the cut. And they were… ARTIST TRACK PEAK POSITION YEAR ROSIE RIBBONS BLINK 12 2002 GARETH GATES SUNSHINE 3 2003 AINSLIE HENDERSON KEEP ME A SECRET 5 2003 SINEAD QUINN I CAN'T BREAK DOWN 2 2003 KELLY CLARKSON MISS INDEPENDENT 6 2003 JENNIFER HUDSON SPOTLIGHT 11 2008 CHERYL COLE PARACHUTE 5 2009 GIRLS ALOUD UNTOUCHABLE 11 2009 ALEXIS JORDAN HAPPINESS 3 2010 ALEXANDRA BURKE ALL NIGHT LONG 4 2010 DIANA VICKERS THE BOY WHO MURDERED LOVE 36 2010 WILL YOUNG JEALOUSY 5 2011 We almost picked two, which we have done before with Abba and Dannii, as we really, really, really couldn’t choose between two amazing songs. It was like asking Cookie Monster to choose between a KitKat and a Hob Nob. Impossible. In the end, though, someone had to knock some sense into us, and we went for THE TV talent show winner, our very own OG: Mr. Will. Young. It certainly feeeeeels like the right choice. Why it had to be Will When it comes to TV talent shows, Will is the master. While singing contests on telly were nothing new, Will Young was the very first winner of Pop Idol, the big show that kicked off the Noughties trend for shiny-floored, super-glitzy, razzle dazzle Saturday night talent shows. While his career has been decent enough to shake off the talent show tag, he still appreciates his roots, and we do love a popstar who keeps it mega real. Also, he wasn’t even the favourite to win at the time. Fellow shortlisted contestant Gareth Gates looked all set to take the crown, which just goes to show you should never rule out our Will. Where there's a will, there's a… (Don't even bother – Bad Jokes Ed) The song Produced by previous Pop Gem winner Richard X, Jealousy was a big comeback for Will in a new direction. Famed for his emotional ballads, Will brought out his big guns with this sophisticated slice of dance-pop in 2011. The lead single from chart-topping album Echoes, the song reached Number 5 and has sold 360,000 copies. Why did we pick it? Because sooo many of you said we should, we were worried about the implications. Also, we love love love it. Will’s chart story Will’s chart career got off to a flying start – his debut single Anything In Possible/Evergreen topped the Official Singles Chart for three weeks and has sold over 1.7 million copies in the UK. It was the first of three consecutive Number 1s for Will in 2002 – Light My Fire and The Long And Winding Road (with Gareth Gates) make up the trio. Leave Right Now also topped the charts the following year. (This is a very good video.) Will’s enjoyed 13 Top 40 hits, including a run of nine consecutive Top 10s (he’s had ten altogether). Over on the Official Albums Chart, he’s had three Number 1s – debut From Now On (2002), Friday’s Child (2003) and Echoes (2011 http://www.officialcharts.com/features/off...-jealousy-2892/

April 9, 201411 yr Author Looks like Will's Magritte documentary will be aired sometime in May. The previous order of programmes we had must be wrong as the first episode is now Alan Davies on Houdini on 20th April.

Is Will still involved with the Princes Trust? It seems so long since he was involved in anything linked.
April 12, 201411 yr Author That's a good point Ros. I had a quick look but can't find anything. Maybe the ambassadors change to involve high profile celebrities.
April 12, 201411 yr Yes I've often wondered if he was still involved. Loved the Princes Trust concert :wub:
