Posted June 25, 20232 yr From the early 00's we had a music show called Popworld air on Channel 4 on Sunday mornings at 10.30am. Hosted by Simon Amstell and Miquita Oliver who brought some great and iconic interviews and performances. I found myself hooked to watching it back then for a few years mainly from 01-03! Some performances from Britney, GA and others below WIxQMdC6K3o aILIEf0VSBA jwJKcX-j6Sk Share some of your fave interviews or performances here!
June 25, 20232 yr I didn’t really like Simon Amstel to be honest. Was the sarcastic thing a persona or was he really just a bell end?
June 26, 20232 yr Author I didn’t really like Simon Amstel to be honest. Was the sarcastic thing a persona or was he really just a bell end? I think that was just his form of humour and tv talk in general as he went onto present Never Mind The Buzzcocks as well.
June 26, 20232 yr Loved it! I used to watch it religiously every Sunday to get their "chart predictions" ahead of the chart being revealed later that day.
June 26, 20232 yr I loved it too, some of the interviews and features were hilarious, it was a bit like the humour of the website Popjustice but on TV. Simon was very droll and knew how to wind people up, but was hilarious, and Miquita bounced off him really well but came across as super professional considering how young she was when she started. Didn't Leigh Francis (aka Keith Lemon) get his break on this show too as a character called Barry?
June 28, 20232 yr Author I don’t think I've seen that interview but she came across really sweet in it! rC2_vMkfJW0
March 28, 20241 yr Author wZmO_LSV-bw?si=BSUCi8gqzdeKt9Qg Just scrolling through some of these and I spotted one interview is still up featuring someone extremely problematic oops.
March 28, 20241 yr I loved Popworld! Simon was hilarious!! There were quite a few awkward interviews :lol: S Club 7 walking off after being asked about their pay (or was it CD:UK?), Darren Hayes being asked about his sexuality and getting upset, Avril really not getting Simon’s humour. :lol: I also remember Simon interviewing Amy Winehouse in 2004 (before her image revamp) and their friendship was super cute.
March 28, 20241 yr Just scrolling through some of these and I spotted one interview is still up featuring someone extremely problematic oops. Had a look through out of curiosity to see who you mean. Is it Holly V? Or somebody worse than that?
March 28, 20241 yr Author Had a look through out of curiosity to see who you mean. Is it Holly V? Or somebody worse than that? Worse lol. Mind you I typed in Popworld 2002 tbf.
March 28, 20241 yr Had a look through out of curiosity to see who you mean. Is it Holly V? Or somebody worse than that? Holly V is problematic? Who are you guys talking about? :lol:
March 28, 20241 yr Author A massive clue would be sharing the same name as a Steps member! -- Here's a 2004 interview with Amy! H1kuCS9uX9s?si=GoIoXQs7I1ixb_z-
March 28, 20241 yr Oh god I totally forgot about him. :puke: Yes that's the Amy thing I meant. Love how they are shamelessly promoting her around London. :lol:
March 28, 20241 yr I absolutely love the part of that video where she throws a brick at Dido's album billboard and shouts "I hate you Dido" :lol: It's forever etched in my mind.
March 29, 20241 yr I absolutely love the part of that video where she throws a brick at Dido's album billboard and shouts "I hate you Dido" :lol: It's forever etched in my mind. Omg this :lol: I never really "got" Popworld as a kid so was never inclined to watch it but now I've seen clips since as an adult and the humour is what made it all.
April 7, 20241 yr The comments under this video Some people just don’t get the humour. :lol: V1CvGu0hMVo
