INDEFENSIBLE:

- Kate Nash tops Poptimists last.fm charts
- Poptimists do not care about Nicole Scherzinger

????? !!!!!!

Considering some of the people Poptimists DO care about...

I don't think they're the feminist heroes the Lex might want to say they are but they are pretty damn good innit.

It is a shame that half of their album is RUBBISH FILLER. More 'I Don't Need A Man' and 'Beep' plz now thx.

Also Melody (far right) is the cutest thing ever. The best thing about them is possibly the fact that photo is totally shopped together (the original, individual ones are in the album inlay) so for whatever reason they decided to amateurly chop a load of separate photos together instead of taking a photo of them all together for the album cover? Lulz.

Is the one on the far left actually a bloke? Or was that just a scurrilous rumour?

they're a band made up of the slaggy mums outside primary schools!

i liked the idea of a song called "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" from the moment i heard of it...then i actually heard it and its just a shit song rly. but i like the "concept".

i suppose i just like being hotter than people's girlfriends.

I never really "got" PCD until I heard the work of genius that is 'Buttonz' - after that, when I revisited some of their earlier work, I finally appreciated that they are to the US pop scene what Gurls Allowed are to the UK. Still haven't heard any of Nicole's solo stuff, but surely it be amazing, non?

So yes, I am BOTHERD and yes, they are AWESOME.

I had to tick 'Awesome' even though I'd rather there was an option that said 'Actually not as good as a lot of other people doing similar stuff, but infinitely preferable to 95% of their detractors'.

you guys know that nicole sang all of the vocal parts on the album, right? so really the others (i'm impressed that someone knows one of their names) are just in service to her, like bridesmaids at a particularly ill-designed wedding between nicole and jimmy iovine, who's been the key to this project getting plastered all over the states because he's in luvvvv with her and has been trying to break her since the eden's crush days. not so much with the feminism there, ahem.

anyway they are horrible in pretty much every way, sorry lex. i really can't stand nicole's voice (and given the lyrics of 'dontcha,' i don't think it's too out of bounds to say that i think her face looks like someone had a silly putty accident), and i think they are completely vapid (i can sort of see your feminist point about 'beep,' but only sort of, and the whole woman-as-object thing that seems to be their m.o. is pretty much the entire point of the song!). the scherzinger solo album has 'tank' written all over it -- interscope is using the same leak-singles-until-they-stick panicked strategy that it used with the 50 cent album -- unless some ballad comes along and rescues it.

also? they helped cancel veronica mars. FACT.
