I'm also surprised at the steady chart run for this considering how many weeks it was at the top for, it didn't fall as fast as I thought it would've :o

PM criticises celeb drug culture

BBC News

 

Gordon Brown has hit out at celebrities for their "casual attitude" towards drugs, and called for more positive role models.

Mr Brown said children should look up to positive figures like athlete and double Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes.

 

It was vital sportsmen and pop stars denounced illegal substances, he added.

 

Celebrities should not think their position put them "above the law", said the prime minister.

 

He was speaking at a "citizen's jury" event in central London which was broadcast to 400 parents, teachers, children and social workers across the country.

 

Mr Brown said Dame Kelly had agreed to support an initiative to speak out against drugs, and called for more high-profile celebrities to do the same.

 

He said: "There may be others who can be role models for young people just as friends can be, just as neighbours can be, and people who have a national standing who can do so."

 

"On the other side of this we've got celebrities who take a very casual attitude to drugs, who think that their standing in the community makes them above the law.

 

"And that is another area where I think we've got to send a very clear message - not only that we will not decriminalise drugs, but at the same time that this is unacceptable behaviour."

 

He said: "There is a merry-go-round for celebrities. They're on the hedonistic circuit, then they're in rehab, then they're out again and we tend to wait for them to relapse.

 

"I think people like Amy Winehouse and, particularly, Pete Doherty, the message that they convey is actually through their conduct. Yet they seem to be glamourised by the media & the pop industry for their anti-social behaviour."

 

"When in fact, if anything the decline of Pete Doherty has been quite a powerful image in itself."

:o No way! Completely disagree.

 

'No Good Advice' for me. :wub:

 

I hate that song. Their worst for me along with See The Day and Love Machine.

None of the girls' career best songs came during their first album IMO, though all the singles were good. I think they had more control over songs like Wake Me Up and Something Kinda Ooooh. The latter is surely a contender for pop song of the decade. :o

I agree! Always been my favorite, so has Seen The Day. :wub:

Sound Of The Underground! :wub: The best Girls Aloud song :wub:

I disagree - Bohemian Rhapsody is a contrived attempt at topping Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven.

 

Don't Stop Me Now was their best single IMHO.
