The History Of Pop Part 54 aka Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It's MONSTERS vs MINNOWS in the latest Now poll. In one corner, a huge wedge of the songs that made Poptimism great (and made 2003 the most exciting year EVER according to the demographics poll) (full results to follow) (ahem). In the other corner, a parade of horrors as reality pop turns horribly wrong. Plumb in the middle, "Cocks More Like" by the Coldplays.

Sugababes' "Round Round" topped Now 53 fairly easily, 4 votes ahead of Ms Dynamite: they also won the Now 52 tie-break, so good for them. Can they make it three Now polls in a row? No, is the short answer, because take a look at the competition...

Cross-eyed siblings

I actually like Daniel Bedingfield more than he deserves. I think somewhere along the line him and Natasha both got boffed on the head and acquired magical singing powers to the detriment of losing many brane cells.

Maybe.

B-b-b-but Natasha Bedingfield's voice sounds like a constipated cat! Honestly, I keep waiting for her to projectile vomit, the amount of HNNURRRRGHHHHEFFORT she puts into each note!

Have you ever seen them in the same room at the same time?

"If You're Not The One" is fabulous. Poptimists frightened of embracing soppy ballads by male singers non-shockah.

Or maybe got fed up with it due to its lengthy sojourn at #1?

More the latter. I liked it a lot when it came out, it's very intimate and intense. But it's STILL on some radio stations all the time.

Have you been listening to Heart 106.2 again?

hi dere. i do like some tho - it's v hard to pin down why i like the ones i do but don't care for ones like this at all.

Perhaps it's down to Bedders' embrace of 2-step as well as yr soppy balladX0r that endeared me to him. I just can't warm to Shayne Ward as long as he keeps doing these bobbins ballads with Highly Emotional Hand Gestures. I thought he was meant to be the nu Justin Timberlake!

Daniel Bedingfield used to go to my church and once stood behind me belting out the hymns in a really over-sung manner! And then he went to KFC with my brother. Therefore we consider him to be one of us, despite his barminess.
