Same Difference and Alisha are both abysmal, though... what on earth can you find appealing about Same Difference? And Alisha's voice is weak as p*** :unsure:

Alisha's voice may not be the strongest but it's appealing in a scratchy way, and she can hold a tune. More importantly though, I can only imagine Alisha or Hope could even be considered by US audiences, purely because of their images. Niki or Rhydian may have amazing voices but neither would sell to the US market, and Leona has proved that this is important to secure the funding to make a truly huge-scale album.

I want to like Alisha.. she looks incredible (when they don't dress her up as a Liquorice Allsort), she has style, balls and a great sexy sassiness... but she just can't hold a tune very well... she scraped by, just, with Valerie..... but she's not doing very well at all otherwise. She won't last much longer...... unless Sharon's got Ozzy ringing up 1000 times a night (probably a wrong number, too).

 

And Hopeless... they just aint sexy enough for a girlband.... the Hanky Panky thing last week.... all smouldering looks, low cut basques, stockings and sussies.... and orange-peel cellulite wobbling round the back...

 

They're a Poundstretchers Girls Aloud.... so bad they're funny.

 

And no band can ever gain a serious reputation or any credibility by being chucked together like these girls have been.
