The Friday Canon: Shock, Aching & Watered-Down

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week the Narner girls garnered many a ticky from You The Voters! But how will they fare up against the rest of Mike, Matt and Pete's output? You get 12 ticks across this selection of singles taken from Stock Aitken Waterman Gold. Use them wisely!

[Poll #943127]

Last week's Bananarama-ding-dong:

1. Venus
2. Robert De Niro's Waiting
3. Love In The First Degree / Mr Sleaze
4. Cruel Summer
5. Really Saying Something [w/ Fun Boy Three]
6. Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye
7. I Heard A Rumour
8. I Want You Back
9. Shy Boy
10. Nathan Jones

I am really underwhelmed by this list. Where are all the famous Sonia/Jason Donovan songs? I have never heard of hardly any of these! Who are half these people?!

What famous Sonia songs?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Er.

The one which went, I think, "be young! be foolish! be happy!" maybe? not that I remember any of it beyond that.

twas a cover, thus i'd guess they missed it off the comp to make all the money.

that sonia cannon in full:

1 Sonia You'll Never Stop Me From Loving You Jun 1989
17 Sonia Can't Forget You Oct 1989
10 Sonia Listen To Your Heart Dec 1989
16 Sonia Counting Every Minute Apr 1990
18 Sonia End Of The World Aug 1990
10 Sonia Only Fools (Never Fall In Love) Jun 1991
22 Sonia Be Young Be Foolish Be Happy Aug 1991
13 Sonia You To Me Are Everything Nov 1991
30 Sonia Boogie Nights Sep 1992
15 Sonia Better The Devil You Know May 1993

last 4 covers, arguably chart positions match fall in quality, YNSMFLY clearly the best...

Better The Devil You Know = NOT a Kylie cover but in fact UK's Eurovision entry for 1993. I remember being VERY confused about this.

I am lazy, and alas everyhit doesn't give producer details so rather than find out who produced what, what chart placing it got to & whittle down into reasonable poll ticking size, I opted for the compilation. I don't know much of the last third, but it gives a reasonable picture of the overall output I think (rather than being biased towards one or two artists).
