In fact, Honey To The B was my fave track from her debut album, and i thought her second cd was vastly under utilised. And her role in Dr Who? Brilliant! I guess the Billie reference got cut in my edit!

I really REALLY need to check Robyn out soon...<br /><br />FYI folks - the filexoom links are currently screwed up but should hopefully be working again soon.

I've heard their vers...OTV did not sound very good. I've heard their version of Sacred Trust and they are so weak vocally. Auto-tuned to death. Its a shame as they really don't need it. Have you heard the BeeGee's original tho?(maybe a future popeatspop article?). Its like three goats having sex with a cheese grater. To be sure, the Gibbs do have interesting vocals generally. However their original Sacred Trust has a "goobble-gobble" sounds going on in the background. <br /><br />In conclusion, I think the best version has to be the "new" Girls Aloud version. <br /><br />As for your take on Greatest Hits. Kylie's back catalogue has been been rightfully used like a Kings Cross 90 year old whore.(I'm all metaphores today). You've got ya Singles Collection released in 1991, The Greatest Hits in 1992, the Greatest Remix Hits Vol 1 to 4, the Hits+ collection, Confide In Me, The Greatest Hits 87-97 and most recently the EMI product Ultimate Kylie(which is being re-released this november!!!!). This is not to mention 1998's Impossible Remixes and The Mixes. Also coming up is the singles box set released next year. All of them are shite and totally not for the fans. Unlike, of course, the Girls Aloud cd which comes with lots of rather lovely unreleased, live or rare stuff. <br /><br />None of the Kylie or Madonna greatest hits have EVER included every single they've released. Immaculate Collection came without the classic True Blue whilst the recent Kylie hits cd did not include Your Disco Needs You, Where Is The Feeling and so on...<br /><br />Me thinks the only time we're ever gonna get a full-blown Kylie or Madge cd is when the divas kick the bucket. So I suppose theres a silverlining when their day arrives. <br /><br />This Kaden boy certainly loves himself. As for 365, their new single sounds really similar to something else. I can't put my fingers to it but know i've heard their song before. Is there a sample I'm not aware of? I do hope they get to the album stage. They seem interesting. <br /><br />As for Play. Bless the Play. The girls are all models now. Well some of them are. The others are at university. DontStopthePop covered their take on Don't Stop The Music which was originally a hit for Robyn back in 2002(or so). I love em. Most of their material on their Dont Stop The Music LP are tracks(the 1's that are not covers) that were written for/by Robyn for Robyns Dont Stop the music LP released a year beforehand in Sweden. <br /><br />To return to OTV however. Compare and contrast the image u used for them and the other bands on your blog. They, as a band, dont look right together. It reminds me of the oddness of my HearSay album sleeves. It just dont add up imagewise. Girls aloud/McFly on the otherhand really do. Same can be said for all your bands on ya sister site. They match. OTV look like extras from Angelas Ashes. <br /><br />I think I've said all there is to say......keep up the good work. <br /><br />Robpop outRobpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338917857200380786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024334.post-25041482693175275782006-10-31T09:10:00.000+00:002006-10-31T09:10:00.000+00:00PPG - i don't think it's sad to like Sacred Trust....PPG - i don't think it's sad to like Sacred Trust. It's a great song - i think OTV had a bad arrangement, Girls Aloud is more festive and ballad like and works better for me :) Sadly now John Sutherland seems to be concentrating on acting but oh well :( And yeah, i think the ASL solo career is over. BOO!<br /><br />Rose ~ I take it you like Danny then. If i had to choose, i would go for harry ;) He looks like a bit of a monster in the bedroom...Play had some GREAT songs hidden among the mediocre ones :)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230065922155843285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024334.post-68457693372908498852006-10-31T05:37:00.000+00:002006-10-31T05:37:00.000+00:00Poster Girl I agree with you about Danny and somed...Poster Girl I agree with you about Danny and someday I hope he is. <br /><br />It was Danny that made me a McFly fan. At first I didn't want to know anything about them coz I didn't like Busted lol but I heard 'All About You' and I fancied Danny but I still wasn't interested. Then one day in June I seen, erm I mean heard 'Please Please' so I decided to give them another chance. I heard their cover of 'I Predict A Riot', Toms bit was ok but then I heard the 'Uuuhhhh' from Danny (can you tell who's my favourite lol) and that made me a fan, lol. I'm thrilled the guys got a 6th #1.<br /><br /><br />I've heard of Play, a friend sent me a few songs last year. I love 'I Must Not Chase The Boys' & 'Us Against the World' I don't like what they did to 'Whole Again'. Thanks for 'Honey To The Bee'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024334.post-35667199307791799662006-10-30T23:39:00.000+00:002006-10-30T23:39:00.000+00:00Woah--I've never heard One True Voice before (thou...Woah--I've never heard One True Voice before (though I have heard of them)--how did they not get to at least release an album? I love the sound of their voices (and, I have to admit, I sort of like the song, too)! Sigh...that's really sad!<br /><br />I agree about McFly striving to be cooler than they are--for some reason, I have this image in my head that Danny especially is desperate to someday be seen as a classic musician. Is it too crazy to predict that Motion In The Ocean might some day be looked back on as a classic? Some clips are making me think it could be...but probably not soon enough to make them happy.<br /><br />(Side note: Tom's gotten rather tiny for the promo of this third album, hasn't he? Or did that happen earlier and I missed it?)<br /><br />I'd seen the video for John Sutherland's My Love Is Crazy on the blog Digital Technique and wanted the song--thanks!<br /><br />Great pic of Switch 22! I still want an Andy Scott-Lee solo career. And thanks for the Anthony Callea remixes :) They are..."interesting." I keep hoping he's going to get some great dance remixes like the Jewels & Stones Mix of Stephanie McIntosh's "Mistake" or the Reactor Mix of Kate DeAraugo's "Faded," but the likelihood of that isn't all that great, I suppose--still, I hold out hope :)<br /><br />(Another side note: I would have ripped the Feeling song for you, if no one else has, but my computer doesn't seem to want to stream anything Windows Media Player-related at the moment :( )Poster Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797812846936450135noreply@blogger.com
