JUDGE POP vs THE PIPETTES

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

In the first of a rub new POPTIMISTS SERIES, Mega-City Pop's toughest JUDGE needs YOUR help to decide what sentence to pass on today's hot new "talents". First up are 'girl group' The Pipettes, who seem to divide Poptimists opinion, requiring arbitration from the unbending arm of THE LAW.

[Poll #759407]

So erm basically the poll is 'do you think the Pipettes are a good thing or a bad thing' and the comments box is where you suggest WHY.

In case it wasn't clear, I rly hate them, and they totally bring out the Lex in me.

And I hated them before I heard them, because of the critical reception, which was so, so offputting. I was v.glad that they sounded bobbins as well.

You see, this doesn't strike me as a particular good argument, viz. hating them before you see them, or hating them on account of others' reception of them. (No matter how true an indicator it may be...)

However, alexmacpherson's argument is v. good and almost convinces me I hate them despite finding their tunes quite jolly.

It's not an argument for why anyone else should, no, but I can't exactly help my initial reaction to their press, which was 'oh no, not one of THESE'.
