De-lighted

He got Grade 8 in singing (and piano and classical guitar) and a place at the Royal Northern College of Music. It's not just the deluded 'fans' that think he has 'talent'. Only a tiny proportion of his music has been covers, and if you think that, your judgement on his own material is not to be trusted. Yes, that is apparent, and also slightly obsessed by the look of things. :unsure:

He's the Greatest Dancer doesn't seem very appropriate for a CIN single. They're leaving it a bit late to announce it this year.

Fave: James Morrison/Ordinary Boys Worst: Meat Loaf

I hope MCR hang on in there.

Thank you. :yahoo: I hadn't heard anything from the Brand New Heavies in years. I didn't even know they were still together until this appearance. I've no idea what they were promoting, but it has been a much talked about performance, so I hope they capitalise on it.

I hope this works out for Gareth. He is a very talented singer, but got caught the brunt of the whole Pop Idol backlash. A lot of blokes seemed to resent him for being too goodlooking, which was no more his fault than him having a disability that he couldn't hide. :rolleyes: There were some outstanding tracks on his second album. I read on DigitalSpy that what was supposed to be the next single from Go Your Own Way (All Cried Out) may now be released by someone else. Simon Cowell should be shot for the way he mis-managed him, but he's escaped now, so good on him.

I just love this single and the last one. He has a fantastic knack of making simple melodies come alive.

Kenickie were great at the time, but I don't think Lauren should consider going back, except for the odd guest vocalist part. She's found her niche in presenting.

I love this video, but I'm not sure that videos not featuring the actual band are as effective at promoting whole albums as they are at promoting singles. I really like the album, and I think it could get a bit of a boost if it's promoted properly in the run-up to Christmas. Crazy is a dead-cert to make the finals of Record of the Year, so expect a big push around about then.

It's going to be the stuff of legends. Up there with George Best on Wogan and TPT on Frank Skinner.

What a farce! Do you have the clip of her singing with the Brand New Heavies?
