The History Of Pop Part 50 aka Last night, I had a dream about you

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OMG in Now 49 we had...a DRAW! And a draw of two songs with great big ticky ratings at that! And poor old "Survivor" one point behind, with a score that would have walked 9 out of the last 10 polls. I feel as overexcited as Davina pretending a phone vote is close! Make yr choice between S Club and Outkast after you've voted in THIS Now poll, which kicks off with perhaps the iconic modern pop song and has a host of other 'talking points' - I expect plenty of Lexular squealing and much HEATED debate. Debut tracks from Sophie E-B, Five (late in the game!), Alihen Ant Farm, So Solid and a couple of French robots you may be familiar with...

EDIT: And how could I forget THE MOST ROMANTIC SONG EVER MADE?


[Poll #742292]


LET'S GO!!

There was a comment on ILX ages ago which sums up exactly what boggles the mind about 'Sing' - the level of self-absorption/chutzpah/stupidity/twattishness required in order to write a chorus like that and carry it through the recording process, the packaging and selling process, the live show, all situations which should focus on your mind on exactly what you're singing, and magnify any weaknesses in the material - Fran Healy managed to do all of this and not at any point crumble!

Was "Sing" before or after "Turn"?
