Tops of the Pops 3
Troubled-Diva’s quest for the Top Decade continues.
Right I must’ve missed a day somewhere cos this is two in one day for me… anyhoo, briefly:
1. Status Quo – I’m a rocker not a fighter.
2. Phil Collins – come on, you bopped to this when it came out, admit it.. (and with a few beers you will at the next wedding)
3. M People – Not my fav track (which is also an in-joke for a group of my friends)
4. Mike Berry – not great but better than…
5. Blazin’ Squad – I can’t believe a parody band could make it into the charts twice….

Brits
So, avid reader (ha ha ha, sorry I crack myself up sometimes), who should win what at this year’s Brits?

And, more vitally, when did Ms.Dynamite shave her head! (what an awful picture).

Either way I’m just glad that our current crop of pop stars have been properly recognised.

Those wacky Japanese
Is it a cultural thing? Is it endemic of globalisation (Americanisation)?

I’m not sure but there is something odd about the latest trends coming out of Japan. First we had breast scarves, and now see-thru skirts (but not really).

Odd indeed.

Will Power, man of mystery
I have very little, to no, willpower, so it was with some cheer that I read that self-control comes in limited quantities, and must be replenished.

If only these clever scientist types could put it in a pill…

Tops for Pops 2
Day two over at Troubled Diva.

My votes this time round are:
1 – Eminem – Lose Yourself: Solid beats, clever lyrics, THIS is why Eminem is soo much more than the ‘bad boy’ of rap
2 – Focus – Sylvia: Come on, anything with that much Hammond Organ MUST be a good thing.
3 – Wham! – Wham Rap!: The man has a good ear for a tune, and not too shabby a voice
4 – Brenda Lee – All Alone am I: Nothing special but much better than…
5 – Rolf Harris – Stairway to Heaven: “All together now..” AARGH!!
