Will Young - Who Am I

 

 

If you're from Ireland or Britain, then this video may be rather special. Blue Peter ran for YEARS on BBC 1 and this captures it. Over the years some of the shows presenters were obviously closeted and so there's something really beautiful about seeing this openly gay British singer represent. Enjoy. :wub:

Thanks BYM&M's

Thanks for that blog post..he seems to be getting on to quite a few american blogs these days..he seems to be taking america bit by bit....although their unaware of it... he's a crafty one.. :lol:

one day soon he'll explode over there.. :dance:

Love this snippet from the Mirror

 

 

Looking back on his talent-spotting record, Simon admits there have been some dud years. But he thinks that is more than compensated by the stars he has unearthed.

 

"In 12 shows - seven American Idols, three X Factors and two Pop Idols - we have broken Will Young, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and we will now break Leona Lewis," he says.

Thanks for all the snippets.

Will 4 me has posted on Devoted that there is a Will mention in the Guardian

 

In a 'where are they now' piece because of the X Factor.

 

It's a pic from Pop Idol and says something about Will doing music and acting and working on Album No 4.

 

I've also just read this on DS.

 

SIMON’S A Show’s Journey South and Ray face the chop

 

The tough-talking record boss has hinted the acts – who have million-selling albums – are set to be dumped from his label.

 

Journey South, brothers Andy, 30, and Carl Pemberton, 26, came third in 2005 and had a No 1 selling album and sell-out tour last year.

 

Ray, 18, was runner-up last year to Leona Lewis, 22, and has had a charttopping album. Asked if he was dumping them, Cowell, 47, left, said: “I won’t lie. I haven’t made up my mind yet. Wait and see.”

 

Since X Factor was launched in 2004, it has only produced a few stars. And fans have moaned that they have been waiting a year for new material from 2005 champ Shayne Ward, 22. But Simon said Leona is going to be an international star.

 

And he added: “Shayne’s got a new single and album coming out which I believe will be No 1.”

 

Simon sure soon tires of his puppets. I think Shayne had better watch his back.

I'm sure I read the other day that their album was being put back so they decided to release it under their own label. I just hope Leona lives up to all this super-hype surrounding her. - they are so sure she's good enough to compete with all the other 'divas' out there and her fans, on here at least, are predicting and expecting great things for her. We'll see.

Thanks to Bumbling.

 

Will Young, Pop Idol

Chart career: 2002-

The highs: Debut single Evergreen/Anything Is Possible sold more than 1m copies in seven days, beating Hear'Say's record. His second album sold more than 1.6m copies. Where is he now? Between acting roles on stage and screen, Will is working on his fourth album.

Thanks BYM&M's and TT for the articles and regarding the DS article, since when did Journey South and Ray Quinn both achieve million selling albums? JS's sales were about 540k and Ray Quinn's has yet to sell 250k. :rolleyes:

You know Simon he almost speaks a much c**p as Louis! :lol:

 

As for Leona I'm sure this debut album will sell well with all the hype but let's see how any follow up's do. :P

Here's a link to the full Guardian article.

Thats what i thought :lol: JS's sales where a bit less suggy.... about 404k ...so he hypes them up with false record sales then says he might dump them....NICE <_<

 

 

Thanks for all the snippets

Hi girls.

 

How are you getting on over the road? :P It's a lot different from the old board - I like that we can choose things for ourselves instead of it being already set up. I love the box right at the bottom showing other 'similar' threads and you can go back to the top of the page without having to scroll. Lots of goodies :dance:

My friend has just posted me the Guardian article so I have the original! Very old picture of Will looking about 12.

I'm just gobsmacked that it only took me a day to sort some of the stuff out, whereas a few years ago it would have taken me months. :rolleyes:

Me become maternal? :o those days are long gone TT, anyway aren't all Will fans supposed to be lusting after a gay guy coz we're all sexually frustrated old biddies? :rolleyes: That's strange because I've always had very mucky thoughts, with or without a man for as long as I remember and I'm not going to stop now and start bloody knitting and going to bingo, just so I fit some stupid moron's stereotype. :lol:
