The history of pop part 60 aka Look at your watch girl

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The controversial Now 60 brings us into 2005. Controversial? Apparently so as the official Now site DOES NOT LIST ITS DETAILS. Looking at the tracklist you might - well I might - say it's not a vintage comp, but there's enough chewy material here to provide some good comments box sport.

"Love Machine" was Girls Aloud's first winner after several near misses - it won by 11 ticks over its nearest Scissor-shaped rivals. And "Some Girls" beat "Hey Ya" in the play-offs for Now 58.

I stand by you in this as well. One of the best things about the way they sing the lyrics is their relationship to the song as a standard: suddenly they're not famous popstars any more, they are girls in their bedrooms with dreams and aspirations and all that again, singing along to a song on the radio because they're feeling sad and it's their best friend right at that moment.
