The History of Pop Part 52 aka It's all about the dog in me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Great rejoicing at Lex Towers as Aaliyah finally wins a Now poll - she's in it again, as are a few other former winners, as are the Sugababes, and Scooter, Ms Dynamite, Nelly and...Idlewild. Summer 2002 - it was really hot, there was some terrific pop in the charts and a World Cup was on. How times change...


[Poll #746498]


TICKNO TICKNO TICKNO TICKNO!

This will be the LAST Now poll for over TWO WEEKS as I'm on holiday from Wednesday, so enjoy it while you can. The final 12 volumes in the series will occupy us nicely during July and August I'm sure.

Studt as I remember was a girl from Southampton or similar who was a British ie crap version of Avril L - has Avril been missed out then?

I mean, REALLY crap, and she wore some dreadful clothes in the video.

Crap! It's like Sheryl Crow covering the Pixies or something.

Exactly, crap! (Both S Crow and Pixies are OK-ish in their respective ways but neither are really suited to encroaching on what the other do)

No Avril on any of the next few Nows, so I guess she was too expensive!

Studt lived in Bournemouth, I know because SHE WAS MY SISTER'S BEST MATE aged 11 - 15 and was round out house all the time. I have some v bad photos of her looking badly young somewhere. She went to posh Bryanston school, hotbed of drugs, and now has a flat of her own. She's still writing music and is planning a comeback/relaunch. And I should say now that yes, her music was pants, and I in no way endorse her, but still, claim to fame and all that.

v bad photos of her looking badly young = HER VIDEO!

Bournemouth, I knew it was on the coast somewhere.

I think she was about 15 when she recorded the videos, but anyway, have photos of her aged 12, looking a bit... bad. She had plastic surgery to pin her ears back: TRU FACT!
