Just saw on her Stories that apparently Melanie C gave her a little pep talk before her set at Glastonbury. Bless her 😍❤️ Girl power to another that!

This country's appetite for beige never ceases to infuriate me. It's like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Just catching up with sets I wanted to see. Alanis Morissette and Jade were awesome. Watching Scissor Sisters now!

Jesus the fawning / heaping on of this and Glastonbury as the second coming on social media is giving me the ick. What for?!

I was about to say the same thing 🤣

Did wonder why this video of mine had taken a spike in views 🤣 It's been in my head since I went to the tour last month, easily a return to form from "Marry Me". I'd hazard a guess he's probably going for the "first single in the summer, second in the autumn then the album" route and a Q4 release.

Did post about this in the All Saints topic last week. But it would appear there is something new on its way soon from Nat and Nic Appleton! InstagramNatalie Appleton on Instagram: "#Appleton"2,164 likes, 246 comments - natappleton on June 19, 2025: "#Appleton".

Honest to God, the actual screams that went up (myself included) when KT bought her on stage were unmatched. And then just as we were barely recovering from that - Natalie Imbruglia 🤣

I missed Rick and Roger as I had to dash to get my tube back to Liverpool Street for my connecting train home! But yeah, bloody amazing gig. She does indeed have an extensive contacts book 🤣 Here's my videos from last night:

Just on my way home from seeing KT Tunstall at Royal Albert Hall tonight. Mel came on as a surprise guest and did "When You're Gone" and "I've Had The Time Of My Life" (off Dirty Dancing) with her! Natalie Imbruglia also came on and did "Torn" 😍

Nat and Nic have just posted this 😍😍😍 InstagramNatalie Appleton on Instagram: "#Appleton"551 likes, 105 comments - natappleton on June 19, 2025: "#Appleton". 14 year old me is fanboying so hard!

It's been mentioned on the thread for it but they were the surprise "Out of the Blue" guests at Capital Summertime Ball today! They did "She Makes Me Wanna" as seen here but also "The Club Is Alive", "Beat Again" and "Everybody In Love".

Just seen clips of Una performing at Birmingham Pride today. My God the way the whole audience was singing back every word! They need to get back together already 😩

There aren't enough eyerolls at the erasure of Natural's 25th anniversary I can make. But to be expected, sadly 🙄

I'd really love to see her and I'm buzzing for the album... but I can't do The Roundhouse as a venue these days. It's too much hassle for me. If it'd been Kentish Town Forum I'd have been there in a heartbeat.
